Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Your CARS Shopping Weekend

Saturday, 11 AM – Kmart CARS Day 3 … Your checklist is HERE.

Cart

And, Sunday – Target …

Target ad

Not sure if there are any other CARS items on sale – only the front page of the toy section was available. But haulers are $10.

Target reset? There are several things. It does look like they moved the reset back a week to sync up with this toy sale – presumably these items are ‘loss leaders’ to bring you in at $10 and they hope you by some other things. But also keep in mind that Target resets are soft moving targets (okay, pun) … it’s up to each individual store when they decide to do a reset – sometimes it’s available employees, other times it’s available stock or ‘just because.’ So while Sunday is the reset day, some stores are already reset, others not until Sunday morning or later next week.

haulers

The Target closest to me has already done most of the reset – most MTT are out and clearly, haulers are out … and the Final Lap CARS are all gone but maybe more will appear on Sunday?

And a funny-nice story from “Nikko.” he went with a friend to check out his Target – shelf pretty empty but he figured he’d give her some DPCI numbers and see if there was anything new – maybe new Storytellers or maybe new Final Lap CARS – she said there was a lot of stuff in the stockroom so Nikko said, if you bring it out, we’ll stock it for you. Free interns? Sure!

So, she brought out the pallet cart and our two intrepid CARS buyers filled the Target pegs … so while there was nothing new to buy, Nikko got a lot of free boxes …

Target
So, remember kids – if you’re not buying, you should be stocking …

    While everyone is at KMart this Saturday, the new High Dive Mater is one to look for. Its been found already at KMarts in the upper mid west.

  • phantomrs says:

    we had 2 new targets open in the area, and haulers and the 3 car box sets have been $8.99 for the last 2 weeks, also found a King w/piston cup yesterday at the same target, late in the day nonetheless!

  • AidensMom624 says:

    I’m wondering if ya’ll think I should get extras … I still have SO many Kmart CARS Day 2 cars, and I don’t want to end up like that again.

    Our KMart is pretty lame – it was us and 1 other older man last time, there at 11am – we got what we wanted and then some (hence the reason I still have a bunch left over, with no one who wants them).

    Oh – and also – anyone who pre-ordered a case online, have they started shipping yet, do you know ? For some reason when I try and access the order from my history page, it goes to a blank page. It does show the order though, just doesn’t provide anything further.

    Thanks for the advice/opinions/help !

    We hope our shopping cart is not empty. We have 9 Kmarts here and we might get a couple cars. Got over 1000 last Kmart day. Nobody goes around here. Found sealed master cases last time. 🙂

    Sending my wonderful wife and 3 yr old daughter to the event…I’m coaching my son’s little league team…game starts at 11am…bummer…Since this is the third event, i have coached her well also…
    1. go to customer service, get ticket
    2. go to the toy aisle
    3. say hi to the one other family waiting, find out that the dad waiting is more excited than the kid who’s eyeballing the transformer aisle
    4. get your number drawn #1 so you get a poster (50-50 chance)
    5. Kmart employee hands you a case to rummage thru
    6. buy 2 of each racer, maybe 1 of each non-racer to be returned later (probably)
    7. save receipt and come to the game
    Done…my kmart is not even advertising it with banners this time…wierd…I was 1 of 3 people there at Kmart day 2. Hoping for the same result!

  • CaptainChunk says:

    Figures, I just bought Gil at Target last night, looks like I’ll be going in for a price adjustment.

  • There is no way my shopping cart will look like the one pictured above. I’ll need one like this to pay for the one that looks like this

    …but if PirateDad makes it across the border, his shopping cart will look like this! Have fun getting that through Customs! 😛

  • TarheelBill says:

    Anyone know if Kmart plans on bringing out the Cars Day 1 racers with the rubber tires?

  • Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already but the current KMart ad is advertising the Cars Toon 4-Packs for $14.99 and all MegaSize/Oversize at $5.99.

  • MiaSenorita says:

    Cool! If I wasn’t so sick and could leave the house I would definitely want to cash in on that!

  • zachsmom says:

    speaking of the KMart day saturday, how does it usually work? We’ve never been to one before, so should I get there pretty early, how does is usually go, what goes on? Sorry if its a dumb question I jsut dont want to get there when it starts and have it be a huge line or whatever! Thanks

    • Aaron & Jeanne Scriven says:

      it really depends on how many people show up. at our kmarts last year there were only 8 of us who were there and 12 cases to choose from so everyone got to get whatever they want. But alot of peoples kmarts have a lot more people so they draw numbers and it doesnt matter what time you get there because you could get there 30 minutes early and pick the last number.

    • John in Missouri says:

      Just be there by 10:50am and look for the tables set up back by either toys or sporting goods. They shouold hand you and anybody with you one ticket each. They will draw tickets randomly, and you get to go up to the table. You have 5 minutes to select 5 cars. When everyone has had their shot, all are welcome to come back up to the table and get whatever they want. Oh yeah, don’t forget to pay for it — some people think this event is a raffle for free stuff!

      If you want to email me, I can reply with the specific instructions to Kmart employees how the event is supposed to happen, and that will help you understand more too.

  • iamspeed says:

    This explains why our Target had HAULERS 2 rows, double-stacked, the other day.

    Funny thing, NO Storytellers, NO Final Lap, NO Pit Crew Sets on the pegs……BUT they’re all a “YES” (Back room) when you check the in-store scanner!

    I didn’t pursue it beyond that, figured I’d wait it out to see what Storytellers the will eventually put out. I already got the Crew Sets and Final Lap cars before weeks ago.

  • babychristianscars says:

    Haulers for $10 good deal.

  • Stephanie J says:

    I just found the reset at 1 of my targets yesterday. A partial at another on Tuesday.

    Those living MN and WI, don’t forget the Fleet Farm Toyland opens Saturday at 7am. The catalog that was dropped on my front steps on Monday showed Lenticulars, I don’t know what else they might have. You will have to show up and find out. Just stop in on your way to KMart.

    Herb Cleanup on Toy Aisle… that guy Nikko is drooling again… and so is his older buddy Dan… Get him a walker or a wheelchair….

    Herb!!! Cleanup on the TOY AISLE

  • Bob Eckel/TheeNaughty Knight says:

    FOCUS… Now is that DPC Item an 84 or a 64 or DAMN maybe it is 08 where are my glasses

  • John in Missouri says:

    “Herb, that guy with the camera is back. This time he’s over at the cart corral taking pictures of an empty cart. Would you please escort him out of the store?”
