For those unaware, Mattel actually has 7 retail-outlet stores around the country.

This is the El Segundo store – very close by to Mattel’s HQ …

Mike E actually took these photos a while back and I filed them in a MISC folder and have finally uncovered them … so these first photos are from 4-5 months back …

Like any outlet store pricing – it’s not all exactly ‘clearance-clearance.’

While this was a while back, at least you know Mattel wasn’t playing favorites or that someone who wanted Market Research on the CARS line could just take the shuttle to the store 🙂

Well, Mike E. went for another visit the other day to send us an update …

Well, okay … maybe there’s something of interest to pick from?

Well, the good news is that Mattel doesn’t play favorites and it’s not like the store is overrun with Dale Jr’s and Tank Coat launcher 🙂

Or if you want an *** ******** ****load of Doc’s …

And now, you can even say, at least my store is not Mattel outlet store 🙂

Clearly not a store you want to drive or fly to but if you’re in the neighborhood, check it out …

There are four stores in the wide swath of Southern California (going about 200 miles away from LA), 2 in Texas and 1 in Wisconsin …
