Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Kmart CARS Day Case Pre-Sale “Email Me” Up
SOLD OUT! (for now?) – See link for updated info.
Thanks to the eagle-eyes of NascarBroncoFan, it’s all true and very real.
Kmart CARS Day II CARS are listed for “email notification.”
Click on the graphic or the link to go to Kmart.com.
Click on “EMAIL ME WHEN IT’S AVAILABLE” and they will send you an email when “COMING SOON” changes to ORDER ME BABY! (or something like that 🙂 ).
Price by the way is the same for a case from last year – shipping is probably $7 per case but of course, if you order more, shipping per case drops and of course, it all depends on where you live from their warehouse (they have several so not sure if they are all in one warehouse).
There is an offer of free shipping for purchases over $75 but of course, until you can put the bisket in your basket …
They only ship to US plus US territories. Plus tax but you’d pay that anyway … except for states with no sales tax, of course.
Also, there was NO LIMIT last time and I presume the same this time. They’ll take your money and as much of it as you want to hand over.
Some people have asked why are they doing this?
Because they love you with all the hearts?
Okay, a more realistic answer?
Why not?
They get to sell you a full case at full retail – saves them a lot of work.
And they probably noticed that in some cities & stores, they simply had too many cases for too few customers and those stores had to mail them back to the fulfillment center (save 1 case) to resell online after the event. So, this way, they can ship less to their stores and more directly saving and making them more money.
So, now – when will pre-sales be “up?” Last time, the “email me” feature was up for about a week before the CARS were available to order so check back … don’t fall asleep on us, soldier!
So, thanks Kevin-NascarBroncoFan for staying up ‘all night long,’ I’m sure he’ll be all awake and twitchy the new few days or week? … before the go-code is given.
Post with rest of details HERE.

i know everyone is having problems with this kmart thing but i am new to all this..so if they were on the kmart site…do i just go to kmart .com and search or is there some back way in to have permission to buy a CASE of these cars…just trying to understand. thanks
(MET: Well, sold out now – check this morning’s post for up dated info & links).
Ugh no way, I had to sleep at some point and missed it. Now I’ll have to try and take my chances on the 20th with my 2 month old and 4 year old tagging along with me. 😐
I don’t think you will have any difficulties getting them on that day…95% of all transactions reported here went quite well….
Are you sure PD? I thought it was 96.7%.
Well, I did not take into account daylight savings time and wind velocity, so your number is probably more acurate!
Of course we should excuse the crudity of the model…
It’s not to scale and you did not have time to paint it…
Not Good….looks like the preorder is sold out. That was quick.
Albert – Try again, it is still letting me order.
When I get to the end where I have to pay, it tells me there are none available.
Is anyone else shut out when they go to pay or is it just me?
THE CARS GODS HAVE PUNISHED ME!!!!! WHY DO I HAVE TO LIVE ON THE WEST COAST?????
Got two cases, was hoping to trade the new racers for the KMart Day 1 racers, but it sounds like everyone here will already have them. My son loves the racers, but I’m not about to pay 10 or 20 bucks a piece on eBay so he can destroy them on his Piston Cup race track.
May have to go to eBay with them (yuck), then rebuy the Day 1 racers with the profits.
I’ll have a lot of the other singles left over, I’ll post them in the trading forum.
Just ordered. I did it so fast I forgot to get the $5. discount. Oh well…glad I was able to order it. Thanks Nascarfan 🙂
Everyone….I’d like to thank the Academy, and the fans in the stands….
WOOO HOOO (doing burnouts on the front stretch!!!!!!)

At check out the discount says “PromotionSave 10% off Almost Everything from 9/25-9/27”, but it takes off the $25.00.
I used the above link and it deducted $25! Nice!
What link? gonna try to redo the order to save $25!

Free shipping? Did you notice that Delivery Charges charge? They include the Free shipping charge on the Additional Savings Line, only to add it again on the Delivery Charges line. So you still pay for it. Am I confusing this?
Nevermind, I am confusing it. The Delivery Charges line only mentions basically what you would have paid and it is removed essentially on the Additional Savings line.

Well……looks like they are doing something…. some pic urls dont work and then on the Save For later page a pic is added but not coming up
well this is usually when the site is down for maintenance. Of course they made a liar out of me last time I said that.
respect to the man in the ice cream van!
Ok, I really need some sleep. I did the all nighter on the 31st and need to catch up on some sleep. My cellies claim I have been a real “you know what” yesterday and today. Could someone please email me at prisonbrk@aol.com if Kmart’s blue light presale special starts.
Thanks to everyone for all the laughs, the walk down ’80s memory lane, and update info.
If anyone wants wakeup calls. I am on it tonight.
Me, the cats, and James Patterson Alex Cross series on Unabridged cds.
email me your cell numbers
nascarnbroncosfans@msn.com
I love that series on audio. One of my favorites to drive and listen too. sure makes sitting in traffic easier.
I have the whole Alex Cross series Unabridged. With Ipod stereos and adapters for older stereos you dont need cds anymore.
If you decide you want the series I can send them to you over Yahoo messenger for free.
nascarnbroncosfans screen name
I have All of Clive Cusslers, most of Tom Clancy, Stephen King (even unreleased SK audio stuff), some Anne Rices’ The Vampire Chronicles, many many more. About 140 titles.
Thanks for the offer but I have the whole series too. Can’t wait for another one to come out.
Ok, Roses Are Red wa never released on Unabridged cd but i had it converted
cellies?
cellmate = workmate maybe?
excellent, good guess
definition: a term used by the incarcerated to describe their roommate.
aka: cell mate, co-worker.

High heels are a good weapon.

I don’t understand how they are having difficulties. They have thousands of other items up for sale. I think they are holding it back on purpose and have a specific day and time it is going on presale. I don’t think it is that “difficult” for them to put this up for presale. It isn’t like they have never done this before. I also think they are debating over how many to pre-sale.
Exactly – hence my “jerking us around” comments.
I dont know either, I am not a believer in ” The JKF Conspiracy” or “The Magic Bullet Theory”….until recently. But I am just a reporter and even jimmie tells Clark Kent on occasion:
Hey Clark, I am just the messenger NOT Superman
I am definitely not blaming you. I just think if they were having technical difficulties, the whole site would be down. I think they are just saying that to avoid giving an actual answer regarding the time and date. Why they would do that I don’t know?
You would think they would want to make some money. I just hope they do it soon. It would be great to get the case and everything I need in it without having to sweat it out over the raffle bit. If I do get a case, I may still go to check it out though, how many people show up etc. For the last K-Mart day I was out of town and went to another K-Mart that had like 5 people show up. So I am a bit nervous about going to one in town. I think it will be a little busier.
Oh I know you arent, I just dont understand why ALL other presales are working and not this one.
I did send a question to my sources as to that fact.
I don’t think it is because people are flooding the site because I am still able to move around it, click on things and refresh it without it having problems.
I don’t want to get into too many conspiracy theories either, but the company I work for also has a major online retail presence. I know where there are issues with the site, pricing errors etc. they get fixed within hours. I tend to agree with maybe they are trying to figure out how many to release and how many per customer. I could be wrong, but it does seem odd. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
I am nervous too. I am leaving on 6/20 for a 3 week cross country road trip and I will not leave until after the event is over. I would love to have these ordered ahead of time for security. My kmart had about 40 people last time. Definitely not a guarantee by any means.
Nascar,
I do not know how you do it. I have been online watching as much as I can and it does not come close to how much you have. I am finding the waiting really hard. We owe you big time for all your efforts and info.
Keep my collector buds of ebay as much as possible.
keep our overseas buddies at costs.
Just determination to help out. No one gave me a ticket to SDCC so I jumped in here.
Thanks also because I wouldn’t know anything about it if it wasn’t for you. I must say I was in a near panic earlier when this website was down. It was one big “Noooooooooo.” I am just really hopeful to get one case online, I only want one of each car. It would save having to beg friends and family to go with me to try and get all of the cars. But the begging has already begun just in case. Maybe they are planning ahead at Kmart to avoid a crash like what happened on Matty, so that everyone can get one. I hope that is the case. I don’t think it is a conspiracy, I just think they may have a release date and for some reason they don’t want to tell us what it is. They must love all of the traffic they are getting though.
Youre Welcome.
I think they should be honest and be done with it.
But who am I?
a collector stuck in Utah
Im sure the reps you talked to are being honest – they are just repeating what theyve been told. Look at all the buzz that is being generated!! I bet everyone on here is going to buy a case now! or two! or three! They probably ordered a boatload after last year and now the economy tanked and the guy who ordered them is trying to save his bumper. Dont worry, buyer-order-man, I will do my part!!!! We can save you!!!!
Also nascar, oreos? In Oregon we have “Joes-O’s”
the mystery angle
Smokin cigarettes n……watching Kaptain….Kangaroo…
Now dont tell me……I’ve nothing to do..

Let’s make the record-breaking comment something special.

I wonder if they have Ricky Bobby doing their website construction

Haha, are you kidding? You’re making my job a little easier! Thanks for sharing some info. I’m not sure that the URL you shared was the right one, but this is what I learned today:
The Cars Collectors Events will be June 20th at 11am at Kmart Stores – giving collectors an opportunity to exclusive product.
The cars will be available or presale on Kmart.com http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/productdisplay?storeid=10151&partNumber=004w025571110001p&catalogid=10104. We are trying to launch today but having some difficulties, hopefully up soon!
You should just work a deal where they make you the exclusive distributor! How big is your garage? 🙂
What garage?
How big is your back yard? Do you have a basement?
basement?……I wish
I have a 6,000sf barn filled with wood and tools…I could move them!!!
And another mouse watching the cheese
I am at work and in time to sit here and have an uneventful night watching the kamrt site do nothing
awesome fun
Also do you think they will limit the number of cases a person can order since this is a preorder instead of a regular purchase?
Oh man I can’t pull the all nighter tonight, but I will use the 3 hours sleep cycle of our newborn to check in.
L8rM8r, do yourself a favor and get the DVD “The Happiest Baby on the Block” by Dr Harvey Karp…it worked wonders for our youngest!!! I only wish someone would have told us when we had our first (who would only take 2x 10 min naps during the day).
Will do thanks for the tip.
So you will like this my wife just plopped the book in front of me when I mentioned it. I guess she is the smarter one in the relationship.
LOL. Sent you a PM on carsthetoys!
Both Sources I contacted at KMart gave the same info as reported by me to both Met and Kevin (Nascarfan) so I feel confident that at least they are consistent.
Just got back from Terminator Salvation…(MUST SEE. If you never believed in Terminators, You WILL NOW.)
anyway….
Thats CORRECT MET……Kmart.com is going to be launching TODAY…
Via BMW and askrob kmart.com
The Cars Collectors Events will be June 20th at 11am at Kmart Stores – giving collectors an opportunity to exclusive product.
The cars will be available or presale on Kmart.com (http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&partNumber=004W025571110001P&catalogId=10104) .
We are trying to launch today but having some difficulties, hopefully up soon!
(shameless movie reference:)
Saddle Up People… Lock n Load….
I want a clear dispersal this time….
(Aliens)
Ive been watching off and on all day, no change. They are probably trying to generate more hype. After all, if they wanted the bloggers to generate a buzz, they would want more than one or two days. All the other products on Kmart.com can be added to the cart successfully so the problem is not adding a new product or adding “pre-sell”, must be something else. Im suspicious! Hype-building!
Lorri, do you not look forward to the centers of oreos and Hydrox cookies?..giggle. j/k
I am sure it will very son

Lets take a few moments…
hope that our collector friends overseas are okay.
Okay, who wants to sit n watch for a few hours? I have to get out of the house.
I’m leaving work now…maybe in an hour or so?
I’ll be watching for a couple hours. Will give a ring if I see anything.
(MET: Vie Email from Kmart.com – Per “BMW,” “We are trying to launch today but having some difficulties, hopefully up soon!).
I am in the UK and just tried the Sears Online Chat to see if it would be possible to buy this set from the UK but to ship to the US – they were as much help as a chocolate teapot! :- ( Oh well !
See shipping note on 9 posts above this one. I have been into My Account to Add Addresses to ship to and NONE are even outside the continental 48.
CC’d here for you and others…

well, now the green “Special Offer” arrow is back working again.
I am beginning to know what Fireflies feel like INSIDE the jar…
I’m not liking the “Price is subject to Change”. With all of us constantly refreshing the page, it would be worth their while to add a few bucks to each case.
where do you see that?
Don’t know where it went, but I’m positive I saw it in the Special Offers pop-up window.
yea that green arrow pop up stopped working… I did copy most of that here in 8 posts above… Note on Shipping heading.
Well, I am ready to turn over the Bridge of the starship TFAD, I have to get some yard work done.
Anyone wanna watch for a bit?
MET. Is the Lightning McQueen in the Kmart case just a regular Lightning?
(MET: I’m almost positive, there have been no pictures indicating otherwise – plus the JL Series LM was/is getting the rubber tires).
i can feel it…can you all? the calm before the storm. it’s coming.
Good afternoon (almost….east coast)
good morning folks!
I saw some Kmaart cars on Ebay from Denmark
i would assume they were last years kmart cars? or where they preselling the new kmart 2 cars?

if some of you want me to watch the kmart site at night and call when it goes live I would have no problem with it… i tend to sit here and do nothing a good portion each evening
email me at carsdiecastcollector(-at-) yahoo. com
i feel like mack right now, driving to california. could sure use snot rod sneezing on me to wake me up.
I collect two or three of each… one for my kid to open and one for the collection I will give him when he turns 30 or 40. (this way he can live his youth over again)
I am always tired this time of night… but time to go home and get the kids to daycare so I can sleep. (just hope this thing does not pop while I am sleeping – though I am in the minority as a night worker)
i started collecting because of my eldest son dylan. he is 4 right now, but when he was about 2 he would always react with a big smile to a movie poster of CARS that they had at a video rental place we used to go. for some reason he was drawn to it a whole lot. he loved to go their to rent mostly because of the poster. we finally saw the movie and the whole family fell in love with it. we started collecting as a family. i have another boy now and he too loves CARS. i love the way my youngest, Derick, says “MIRA (spanish for look) MACK” everytime he sees a trailer on the road. i started collecting because of them and for them and got caught up in it myself. hence why i usually have to buy 2 or 3 of each sometimes. look up on of MET’s previous post:
http://www.takefiveaday.com/2009/05/26/disney-pixar-cars-20-years-of-pixar-now-in-monterrey-mexico/
that is us on the pictures.
word! <— 80’s term i still use
I wish the lifesize Cars would come to chicago… my kids would go nuts
I will have to submit my kid’s picture and his “LINE O’ CARS”….
do you guys collect the Cars diecast for yourselves or with others? My 4 year old and I are addicted. (though I cannot tell which one wants them more)
My son can name almost every character they made a diecast of…. even my two year old daughter can name a bunch. (my son is teaching her)
I run a Disney Pixar Collecting Group in Salt Lake City, Utah
we all help each other at costs – near costs.
Example: if the car costs 3.47 we charge each other 4.00 etc
no kids at home here, 3 cats n 3 dogs
I should look up to see if there is a group in chicago. I tend to run around a lot (though I have slowed down a bit) trying to find the latest CARS diecasts. It gets frustrating time and time again of finding nothing. (thats why I am trying hard to nail a few kmart cases the easy way… on my butt)
overall it is fun for me and my kids.
PS: did you see the apple car slide through on ebay for $96
well i really gotta snooze a bit guys. nascar..if you can..you know my number just in case. hold the fort troopers.
hey mike you say you are a product of the 80’s. i am sure you liked or at least heard some of the 80’s rock music. feel in the blanks and name the artist.

Quiet Riot (RiP kevin)
i wanna rock…
metal health will drive you mad…
funny at work we were talking about 80’s bands tonight
where twister sister rocked and quiet riot ruled
whats weird is lots of people consider that the Hair Band Era. Far from it. Hair Bands actually started with the FIRST Hair Band. Angel, discovered by then New bassist Gene Simmons
yeap..both of you are right on the 2 parter..but there is a quote in the end thay may have escaped you..where is that from?
?
quote at the end of my original post..”stay gold ponyboy”..it was a hidden extra..surprised it was’nt picked up.
it’s from one of my all time favorite 80’s movies. i recently briefly discussed it with PD in a different post.
i cheated… looked it up on the web… but I will leave it for someone else… hey look we are twittering old school
Row Row Row your boat……..
down the kmart stream….
Merrily Merrily Merrily…..
funny i sing this to my kids when I want them to go to bed…
life is but a dream….. (if only kamrt would put up the order button now)
They have added some new gray background screens on some areas and a SPECIAL OFFER arrow for free shipping over 75.00
well at least the web guys are doing something… I am sure they know about the CARS case now.. I am sure the hit count on the exact CARS product page just keeps building.
last time you were able to order it around this time… though I think it was on a Sunday morning. ???
This particular case was never, has never been bought before. But waiting patiently. Last years was at 6 am in the morning
true I meant ordering for the kmart cases last october(ish)
im guessing within 3 hours. 7:30 am central. will try and check back then. of course i have to wake up by 8 am to get ready for work at 9 am. hopefully by that time it’ll be up. im gonna try and snooze a bit. hate that my doctor prohibited my monster energy drinks and coffee because of my health. i am going to really need them for work.
i work nights so I will be watching for another half an hour
Useless Movie Triva:
In the 1970’s Car chase films….
what actor played a sheriff chasing “nut cases” behind the wheel
first thought… jackie gleason .. smokie and the bandit?
GOOD GUESS. forgot about that series
But i was reffering to:
Vic Morrow
California Kid
Crazy Mary Dirty Larry
I am a product of the 80’s
Too bad we dont have a “whos online” list….
just to see whos watching this particular posting….
Not to be confused with Whos On First
Heh I am usually hovering in the background somewhere, but don’t have much time to post.
I am, avidly. Keep up the great detective work. 😀
I’m not going anywhere – at least not tonight (at least gives me something to do while I’m on call)
I always lurk, just rarely post…
Afraid to post this for 3 reasons:
1. According to my sources NO PRESALES ever were made. So anyone that said that they “got them” might be full of “bad fuel”
2. Start date unconfirmed. (waiting on this right now)
3. TFAD members which I am loyal too deserve first pop.
Clarification:
All loyal TFAD people should get there first pop.
This is great news Nascar, keep us posted. Thanks for handling all of the dirty work.
BIG NEWS?
Just got an email about a date when this Presale Starts.
awaiting and answer to my email about something specific.
be right back
Okay nothing definte…. I am going to wait on posting this to be sure of my information..
Thanks again for your tenacity on this hot item, I hope you get your confirmation soon.
This may have been covered in one of the 163 posts above but does anyone know if you can return to the store the Cars you don’t need from the case?
I know that some people did last year
Try selling them here first…I honestly think that that the only one who is returnable wood be LM…the rest are either new or rubber tires… and probably worth more to collectors than to K mart!
Does MQ not have rubber tires?
After catching up on some rest and yard work, going to pull what hours I can here and let everyone here know asap.
Im guessing these will become available after the Free shipping promotion is over.
i thought the same thing as you… they would lose alot of money if they also had free shipping.
I’ve been watching this on and off, refreshing, seeing the new comments – sheesh, whatta headache, eh? I just don’t understand the business model of making people annoyed at getting your product. There is no reason “Matty” couldn’t have cut out the “middle man” and just put this on their website, getting to all of us all at once, and pocketing the cash. I am consistently stunned at how unfriendly to collectors companies are that sell collectibles. Uh, do you want my money or not?
Or, you can look at this way:
This is Kmart’s pre-order, NOT Mattel’s:
It’s Kmart’s stock, theirs to distribute as they choose.
Kmart, as the retailer/middleman, is offering you a chance to guarantee yourself a case, or cases, of a product that you might have to put a great deal of effort to complete on a “piece by piece” basis.
WHEN this offer is actually available is the big variable, BUT if you get the chance to order the case before June 20th, isn’t that STILL a good offer?
“Patience is a virtue” they always say………but I’m seeing a great deal of IMPATIENCE regarding this offer.
Everybody….. relax, maybe even forget about it for a few days…….eventually, the pre-order will be available.
You have some very good, valid points but I think many people are anxious about it because no one knows just how many will be available – will the preorder be open for a matter of hours before the item is unavailable or will people actually have time to get in on the cases. I bet those who waited a few hours to get in on the RLC ordering of the SOTS set or the SDCC Lightning Mcqueen from matty.com last year wish they had been more aggressive, don’t you think?
(MET: Of course, there’s no way to know but unlike SDCC or MSOS, that was one item with a one time availability and even then, they were available for 2-4 hours … this is an item that carries “repeats” that some people may not want (dupes + CARS available elsewhere) and they will be available in stores on the 20th so yes, of course, it will sell briskly but a couple thousand cases or more being available is different than SDCC or MSOS … as noted, my opinion is that you should order quickly but you don’t need to be first but that’s just my opinion 🙂 ).
Sorry, but after being burned by Sideshow with “exclusive preorders,” I’m just about out of patience for the gimmicks. Han and Luke as Stormtroopers sold out in ONE MINUTE FORTY SIX SECONDS – and that is not an exaggeration. When I tried to place my order at three minutes and change, stock was out.
So again, my point is, why not make enough and not jerk collectors around? I recognize that this is KMart’s boondoggle, but… ah nevermind. The whole “chase” part of collecting never did anything for me. I just want the bright shinies to share with my son.
I too was on presales list with Sideshow but the Predator 1-6th scale. The reason they sold out so fast is SS takes your CC DC numbers and pre writes invoices. Then the moment of release they hit “send”
We opted out because of my lay-off
we were on that list for 7 months?
Why do you say that Kmart is jerking you around?
They’re offering you first dibs on a case that won’t be available at the store level until the 20th, so you have a chance to guarantee that you’ll get those cars….without running to stores trying to get each one.
I’d understand if it was a case where you’d placed an order and then it was canceled(like Target did), but this is a case where the orders will be taken and filled, on a PRE-ORDER basis….not that you’ll get them before anyone else, but that you’ll be sure to get them.
Personally, there are enough “duplicates”(of CARS I already have) that I might pass on the pre-order and just get the CARS I really want on the 20th, or after that.
I guess I mean “jerking around” in that the site isn’t working even though they said it would on this day. That customer service is useless (although not surprising), and the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing… it’s getting our hopes up that maybe we won’t have to brave the crowds, but now not knowing if that’s true. The fact that this thread even exists is a testament to how this is being made more complicated than need be. That’s my point. And I’ve never understood the attitude of, “it’s fine to be treated like crap, we should just be glad to get anything at all!” Sorry, but I believe in customer service.
Off to get some yard work done,
got my phone on me today.
801-688-5336 call me if anything pops?
thanks!!
Kmart’s “helpful” personal shopper just informed me that the preorder link should be working by Wednesday at the latest
Good deal, I am still watching this too. thanks Samuel
Maybe today huh? would be nice
7am check: No Shoes
8am check: No Shirts

nascarfan to a gander at your blog… nice display on the 24 scale custom CARS.

WAAAAAAAAA!!!! I can’t get them since I am Canadian!
*sigh* oh well, I guess I will just have to buy them from you guys! 🙂
i am sure I have room on my list for your case if you want one
Hey all,
I live in SLC, Utah and have met Kevin in the flesh – he is indeed a man who seems to survive on less sleep than most mortals. And this is not just last night. He has sent me emails at literally all hours of the night and last night offered to call me the moment the ordering went live. This was at 0010. He is one of the most generous collectors I’ve met and dealt with. His persistence on our collective behalf is not surprising at all. I submit that if this preorder promise actually becomes a realty, we might consider a case on us. I can’t imagine the time (not to mention $$ and headaches) his breaking this news may save us all! I’d be happy to put it together, that is if I get a chance to actually order one online.
Thanks Kevin

Hey NascarnBroncosFans / Kevin! You are officially a:
Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101 Version 2.4
Characteristics:
A formidable robotic soldier, designed by the military supercomputer Take5aDay for infiltration and combat duty, towards the ultimate goal of verifying and updating members on the Kmart Days II preorder case. It can speak naturally, copy the voices of others, read human handwriting, and even genuinely sweat, smell, and bleed. To detect the Terminators, who are otherwise indistinguishable from humans, Kmart “personal shoppers” and online human operators use certain Firewalls to alert humans to their presence. The most notable science fiction characteristics are that of an expert system featuring strong AI functionality combined with machine learning, and the system can interpret arbitrary non-formalized tasks. The other notable science fiction component is that of a power source which can last 120 years.

Thanks for all the time and effort you put into tracking this info down for us!
Micky, you’re right. Thank you Nascarfan for all your insight. Get some rest. I think you deserve it.
You guys have not figured it out yet have you?
Nascarfan is nothing more than a computer system, located somewhere in Utah, that simply plugs away relentlessly searching for Kmart CARS Day information!
There is NO HUMAN involved…….it’s a machine!
What human could possible have the endurance to go on and on, waiting for every tidbit of information that Kmart might leak?
No, it’s just a machine……….
got that right !!!!

Kevin, NasCarBroncoFans, thank you for all you did last night and today.
I got Elisabeth B twice as my personal shopper.
Here is the laugh for the day:
Elisabeth B.: I apologize for the inconvenience but I don’t have an availability date as of right now.
Barbara : OK, it was posted on KMart discussion board by your employee Michelina that this collector case would be on preorder today
Elisabeth B.: I do apologize for that but I do not have a date showing up.
Barbara : Well do you show this case at all
Elisabeth B.: yes
Barbara : Will it be on pre order before June 20th
Elisabeth B.: I am not showing anything of a preorder date.Barbara : OK, do you have an item number so that I can search Kmart.com after the collectors event on June 20th.
Elisabeth B.: 004W661173110001 (wrong item number she gave)
Barbara : Elizabeth the item number you gave me was the incorrect one for the collector case
Elisabeth B.: I apologize for that but that was what I got when I typed isn the cars collector case.
Barbara : Yes.that was for the Matel 10 cars package. The Disney Cars Collector Event 18 pack is what I am looking for
Elisabeth B.: 004W025571110001 is the correct item number
Barbara : Thank you. Any release date
Elisabeth B.: No
Barbara : Thanks signing off
Elisabeth B.: Bye

Great film, 3-D is up to Disney/Pixar standards.

Kevin – you’re a machine man! You must be running on nothing more than a mixture of red bull, energy pills, and the frustration derived from the kmart.com website. How are you still plugging along today after monitoring the site all night?
coffee.
still trying
Just sent you an email about Todd.
got the email, thanks

I just tried to order a case through their personal shopper and he said that the system is still down and the best they can do for now is send me an e-mail when it’s up and running.
WAS ANYONE ABLE TO ORDER THIS???
according to the call back i got yes……they said they are working on the fopah
Nascar… I don’t think anyone from K-Mart is on the same page with this. Here is my recent personal shopper experience.
Welcome!
Please wait while we contact the next available agent…
This chat may be monitored or recorded for quality assurance purposes.
To ensure proper servicing, please do not close this window until your chat is completed. Thank you!
You are now speaking with Marie B.!
Marie B.: Welcome to our Personal Shopper Service. My name is Marie B.. How may I assist you?
Matt : I am currently unable to pre-order the disney cars collector event 18 pack. The pre-order icon does not work. We have been informed that we would be able to pre-order these cases today… any help?
Matt : Kmart item# 004W025571110001
Marie B.: Hello Matt and as your Personal Shopper, I will be happy to assist you. Our goal is to be the one-stop solution for all your needs
Marie B.: I have check with my resources, we are aware the that link is not available, however, once the link is available to place the order we will email the information to you.
Matt : We have been told that some people actually have been able to place orders… with limited stock, do you have any suggestions on how to place an order, or a timeframe by which the problem would be fixed?
Matt : I have saved it to my list of save for later, and it says that the item is currently out of stock…. How is it out of stock if the link has not been available?
Marie B.: I do apologies, for the misinformation that was given, I check with my resouces we can email the information when the itcomes available for purchase, but at this time we are not taking any order, until the opening date of June 20th.
Matt : Can you confirm 100% that this item will not be available for pre-order until June 20, 2009? Can you please provide the name of the person who supplied this information? Also, I am confused as to why K-Mart would put this item up for “pre-order” three weeks before you can actually buy it. Can you explain?
Marie B.: Your Kmart agent is currently researching your question. Your chat is important to us. Thank you for your patience.
Marie B.: Thank you for holding, my resouces is kmart.com, I am unable to provided you the name of a person, I can see that this may be frustrating, and we are aware of the problem and we are working on fixing the problem, I can only suggest that you can provide me with your email, and as soon as this item comes available we will notified you, so you can place the order.
Matt : That is fine… I just want to know if when we can order this item, and am troubled by the fact that people from around the country seem to be getting conflicting information from different personal shoppers. I would imagine that if K-Mart puts an item on-line for pre-order, then there would be certain amounts for sale, and specific time frames for the sale. That information to me would seem to be paramount of running a preorder, and readily available. Obviously, peopel relying on conflicting information, and then ultimately missing out on an opportunity to purchase because of that information may be extremely upset. That is why I requested the name of the person supplying the information on which you rely. It is odd that you are unable to supply me with such basic info as it would seem that youshould be getting it from your manager, or another reliable source who actually knows the specifics … My email address is ………
Marie B.: Your Kmart agent is currently researching your question. Your chat is important to us. Thank you for your patience.
Marie B.: Once again, I do apologies for the inconvenience, however, I am only relaying the information that was provided to me from kmart.com. I will enter your email in the system and as soon as the item comes available you will be notified.
sounds generic: I dont really know anything answer
Is there really any surprise that this ended up happening? The real reason for this by the way is to serve as a marketing tool to drum up buzz for the actual in store collectors day. If they actually let you pre order right away then there would be no time for the message to soak in and spread out to the entire cars community. They want more and more people checking the website everyday to see if the cases are ready for pre-ordering. I think there will be a pre-order, but maybe not for a few days or weeks?
Had Marie B. myself, and no, she wasn’t much help.
Yea thats why i kicked her outta the house
I’m done for today babysitting the Kmart site. I’m a developer myself, and trust me Kmart corporate isn’t going to call their webguy/gal on a Sunday to come in and either fix that link or remove it all together.
Have a great Sunday all!
Not calling you a liar at all… with all the work you have done, not trying to offend at all. Just trying to get these like everyone else. Did the save for later as you indicated. And my list shows what’s in the save for later list, and there is a truck at the bottom that says “This item is currently out of stock” Tried to click add items to cart and no dice. Also shows the available date of 6/20/09.
Anyone else get anything different?
nope – exactly the same here
Screen pic before i got into cart…
showed READY TO ORDER
http://www.flickr.com/photos/31059714@N06/3581212305/sizes/l/
That is a beautiful pic… I wish I could get that, but I think we have wreaked havoc on their server for a sunday morning…oops
right before confirm purchase for some reason I had to resign in.
then CONFIRM PURCHASE, then I got and weird long ass error html and at the end of it, it said.
ERROR SERVER DOWN
got my damm foot in the door AFTER beating on the door
Using both IE and Firefox .. got to same place as you .. won’t go further! .. I’m out.. shower and bike day!
Where you got “Available for pre-order”, I got “This item is currently out of stock” and when selecting “Add all items to cart”, it tells me my shopping cart is currently empty and click to continue shopping.
Disaster!
Yea, then i clicked on the orange arrow, then got sign in window, then got CONFIRM purchase, then it dumped me like hot chick in a porno with chippendales hangin around
LOL
DAMMIT:
almost made it again
Generic System Error
CMN3101E The system is unavailable due to “CMN1039E”.
Contacted my store, and they said that they are unable to do any orders directly for individuals, and has no idea why a personal shopper would have directed anyone to the store for purchase for them. They are not even allowed to take credit card numbers over the telephone, and have no way of making any orders.
I guess i am a liar then
BTW, people still use Nutscrape?
Confirmation #? or still not working?
had to click confirm purchase then thats when i got the error server down
When you do that…. the item says temporarily out of stock!!!
Yeah how did you get it in your cart from the Kmart site? The “RunScript” link isn’t updated yet. Unless you can somehow add item#: 004W025571110001 to your cart outsite of that link, then there’s no way.
Stop teasin’
save for later……. then add to cart
i am also on expedited checkout too, maybe that helped?
using Netsscape 8
DAMMIT:
got to confirm order again…..
The command cannot be completed because the parameter “reLogonURL” was not specified.
Got into Cart, got an ERROR SEVER DOWN
was directly from the kmart site or did you receive an email link?
directly
Nascarfan,
Love to be able to say told you so to Matty on no Cars product for almost a year but it wouldn’t politically correct right? 😉
As the other Martin once said, “I have a Dream” ……………..
Go Mattel/Disney/Pixar Cars.

I had a similar online conversation with my Kmart personal shopper Elisabeth just a few minutes ago – said the preordering system is down right now but they are working on it. Didn’t have a definitive timeframe for when it would be available.
Personal Shopper indicated: I should call my local Kmart to see if THEY can order them directly through their system.
Karen at my local Kmart…She says….. we are hammered with the system being down.
So, we wait
Just got a call back,
Some orders are going thru. BUT due to heavy traffic you will have to be patient
AAAHHH!!
KMart site is down in IE for me, still working in Firefox.
Oh, one other tidbit. We don’t have Kmarts in Dallas so I ordered the presale Hotwheels case for the last Kmart Hotwheels Day. The case doesn’t actually ship immediately. The case is shipped at or after the actual special day. I was worried I might miss out if I didn’t travel 2 hours to a Kmart if something happened to the case I ordered. I was a mess until the case showed up at my door step but I did receive it.
so how many mama’s you have in your collection? 🙂
Maybe I am in the wrong hobby.
We would have to hurt you if I told you.
Wait, you might like it. 🙂 I should reword that…..
ooohhhhh, I LIKE her!!!
Looks like I’ll have to send our Mattel K-Mart Sales Acct. Manager an e-mail with this link.
He asked me to send the Poster out to the bloggers in order to start the buzz and it’s really buzz’n now.
When I first showed him Met’s first post on this K-Mart Collector day all he said was, WOW, this guy sure knows his Cars stuff 🙂
Ya think?
maybe turn this frantic hurry up n wait over to Matty.com peeps and say……
SEE…… I told ya!
Kinda sad that you had to show the rep anything. He/she should be well wired into the “Mattel” community online.
Martin, for every post on here there are probably a dozen lurking.
I live chatted with a Kmart rep who was totally uninformed on line.
Even gave the wrong item number to search for.
Within minutes after the chat, the pictures and preorder was on the web, after she said no idea. They need some help with information to the people who answer questions. I don’t know was told over and over again.,
i’m in Italy..who will order a couple of cases for Me??
i have been up all night too… afraid to go to bed becuase i will miss the chance to buy a sealed case without an ebay mark-up
On a lighter note… the last time I was lucky to score a few kmart cases. I was happy as a clam… until I got my order. It seems someone at the shipping plant did not like me. I got all of my cases minus one…. a funny guy at the distribution center thought I needed a size 5 toddler pj set instead of an additional case. (a very nice red fleece one piece) The packing slip said cars case but the joker sent me pjs. i laughed originally until I had trouble returning it… kmart stores would not take it back since it was the wrong merchandise so i had to send it back to kmart online and wait a week or two for a refund for the case. So i am a little bent that i did not get my one case. (i hope I get an extra one this time…and no pjs)
PJ’s:
Pirate Jammies?
i think you can only order those from CANADA.
wood knot be able to get them anywhere else. 😉
LMBO!!!!
Nice… gotta get me some of those!!

Thanks Kevin, I was watchin with you ’til 4:30. Thanks for helping everyone!
No prob, no one will have me at SDCC so I jumped in and helped.
now I dont feel like the perverbial Red Headed stepchild
Was just chatting with their “Personal Shopper”….
After stating that I knew the official “on sale” date was the 20th, and that the pre-order was supposed to start today (with the page going live this AM):
“…the item is currently not available until the 20th of June, what we can do is if you provide your email, we will notified you on when the item will come available, I do apologies that the link for the pre-order is not working properly.”
“…I am currently checking with my resources to find out why the pre-order link is not working. If you can provide me with your email, I will correspond back to you, once I am notified of the situation.”
We’ll see if that is any quicker than the usual notification.
If you hear anything – please post and let us know!
Will do.
Sounds like the e-mail notification link is more for when it becomes available on the 20th. That’s what it seems like to me.
I’m thinking the pre-order link will go live with no notification, but I hope not.
well we are in the 11th hour of this, so maybe
SOMEBODY wake up Tom Hanks… we need a DECODER dammit
I’m wondering the same thing – since last time they were listed after the event and this time it’s 3 weeks prior. Earlier, somebody stated that they do these preorders for the Hot Wheels collectors cases as well. Has anyone here preordered those?
I ordered the Hotwheels case in Feb./March from the Kmart Presale. I don’t remember the time it started(darn it). It went fairly easy except the site showed sold out at one point but later had them available again.
Think anybody at kmart.com will find it odd that the collector case will have dozens/hundreds of people signing up for email notification within 20 minutes of it being listed? Not to mention the fact that their site was getting hit/refreshed all night long by a few of us? Pretty obvious how crazy some of us are 🙂
(MET: Are you saying the Martha Stewart butter holder is not as popular? Remember the memo … it did say the store was likely to sell more CARS than usual).
Who me????????????
(Sniffles the Mouse impression)
maybe even more weirder since I wrote a review saying ‘Put these things up for sale already”!
I’m signed up to get the email. I wonder if you will be able to buy them before or after June 20th?!
It does say Pre-Order…
Never doubted you brother. Glad they didn’t start until I made it home.

I didnt want to trust the Paypal link so everyone who prepaid me its in my account, clearing or cleared.
