Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Toys R Us UK Promotion (BAD NEWS UPDATE!)

Here’s a shock – TRU promotional material that is not the same as the Disney Mattel information … (UPDATE AT BOTTOM)

New flyer art (from Rippers – thanks!)

Poster Front

This one says, Buy 5 at TRU Get 1 Free CAR by mail – starting from September 19th to December 31th.

Fill out this form and mail it in with your receipts … unlike the US promo, no need to mail in the cards.

Keep in mind the website says September 5 to December 31 … so uh, good luck with that two week difference thing.

UK TRU

“Rippers” also mentions there are not that many CARS on TRU’s pegs …. I believe I have heard that one before somewhere …

What is the mystery CAR?

The inside word is that it will Tach 0 Mint as is the US promo … but send us a pic when you get it!

First post on UK promo is HERE.

UPDATE (from Steven H-B)

“Just been into our TRU and asked about the Promo. There was a big box of leaflets sitting behind the Customer Services Desk. I spoke to the Manager who showed me a copy of an email that had been sent to all managers of TRU stores saying not to put out the POP (point of purchase) material and keep in in a safe place as the manufacturer has put the promo on hold for now.”

Guess we’ll get a confirmation on Monday on what’s up … this does not bode well for the US Promo starting in two weeks then … presumably the UK promo was going to just latch onto the US promo but maybe the US one was pushed back or delayed again. Maybe we’ll get more info on Monday … humm …..
