Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: 15 Steps to a CARS Exclusive Minus 14 Steps
“Dolly P.” notes that in Austria the CARS Exclusive Mail Away Offer is a few steps shorter than the usual.
Normal Steps.
1) Buy a CAR.
2) Buy a CAR.
3) Buy a CAR.
4) Buy a CAR.
5) Buy a CAR.
6) Save all your receipts.
7) Circle the price you paid on the receipts.
8) Go to the store to pick up an entry form.
9) Fill out the entry form.
10) Mail in the entry with proof, receipts, stamps, etc, etc ….
11) Light a candle the post office does not lose your envelope.
12) Sacrifice a Chicken McNugget along with yodel chant in hopes that Mattel Int’l does not lose your package of cards, receipts and maybe a small payment.
13) Wait for redemption CAR.
14) Throw cumin over your left shoulder after 3 360 degree circles clockwise in hopes you get a special redemption car and not Nitroade or N20 Cola.
Or travel to Austria where you have two difficult steps.
A) Reach into Jar.
B) Pay at Register.
What’s inside for 5.99€ (marked down from 6.99€ )?
Yep.
I predict Dolly & other Austria friends will suddenly make many new friends. 🙂
In her own words from her email …
“went to our TRUs (here in Austria) today to see if they had something new because i saw yesterday in Zürich, Switzerland that they got the Punching Monster Trucks. Well, to my surprise, they got not only the Punching Monster Trucks (for a nice price of $25,45 USD Surprised smile) but they got also the 5er Packs Flo’s V8 Cafe and some other ones.
From last lenticular case with Chase McQueen with Rust-EZE Can no sign. Till now just in our supermarket to see (and that only one piece, ours). So, i wanted to go without buying because we already have all those cars and …. what a surprise. At the cashier desk, a small cube with a note on: CARS EXCLUSIVE TRU : Faux Wheel Drive, the price????? $7,65 USD Open-mouth smile Pics attached!”
Nice.
What’s next, the Apple CAR in a box by the register? The Bessie ball pit of Bessie’s?
So, I wonder if those in the UK and France might be mad or are they crying that after all their hard work in their ongoing promos, they might get a CAR you find in a jar in Austria?
It’s never dull.
Thanks, “Dolly P.” – hope you wanted 1,100 people to friend you 😉 … thanks for the nice pics of your jars of Faux Wheel Drive. Maybe that’s how I should store all my CARS. 🙂

Wife just told me that FWD arrived today. I wasn’t complaining, was just curious if they were starting to show up yet.
has anyone received their faux wheel drive car yet from dolly?
They can tell themselve:
Mariela
Gordon
Julia
Victoria
Who else?
Like i say, you have to give them the time to come and if you decide for the cheapest way it takes a bit more.
Dolly
Yes..I got it, and I got a happy friend also thanks to Dolly! 🙂
Hi Dolly, just to inform you I recieved my FWD today. Thank you so much! My son is Super Happy 🙂
I received my Faux Wheel Drive from Dolly last week. It came very quickly so it must have hit all the right airplanes! I did pay for priority shipment, however. If you did not, I suggest you wait a while, I bet you will see it soon. The transportation system moves in mysterious ways.
BTW, Dolly and I have written back a forth a bit. She is a charming lady and very interesting to correspond with.
Gordon
Yes, I got FWD from Dolly within 1 week, very fast.
She is great, just wait. It took 6 weeks(only once) for my parcel to arrive from CANADA.
Just wait, it is on its way.
Julia
Very nice.
.. and quite close to me.

Thanks Dolly!
Hi There,
I have some good and bad news.
Good ones, i was able to get some FWDs today.
Bad news, they only have 19 of them and where trying to get me more from another store but nothing.
I’ll love to help all of you who has ask, an the only way doing this is if you get just one each. I’ll be writing to all of you tonight and see if thats ok with you. I’ll keep my eyes open in case they get them again.
P.S: They have all plastic tires.
Dolly
I sent 2 email please let me know if you got them. Thanks
E-mail sent!!!
When will P.V. and the other haulers we saw at Comic Con be out here in the U.S.? Also, I found the TRU Cube. I passed.
Awesome find Dolly!!

I am seeking an Austria friend now… lol
Any CODA’s in Austria?
Reminds me of when I went nuts trying to collect the Ralph McQuarrie-inspired Star Wars figures in 2007…then, a year later, they released them as two large box-sets from TRU.
Yes… but I believe the box set did not have all the same accessories of the individually carded ones…
Still suck when they put out another set…
Have Transformers on DVD from a few years ago… had some good value on them in the aftermarket… now you can pick up a smaller packaged version for $20… oh well…
Awesome find Dolly.
That’s what i though when i saw it 😉
I’d be interested in one, if you can get it.
And, on behalf of our governor, Mr. Schwarzenegger, and for the people of Collie-fawnia, I say “Thank You”.

Are they still making pit row launchers. I liked them and the big 3 are coming as launchers. I want the launchers for display area. I hear all should be released that way. I especially want them all plastic tires.
I believe they are still making the pit row launchers.
Email sent. Your gonna make a lot of people happy.
Nope – nothing this useful in the UK….
But you already have El Materdor Die Cast and Paul Valdez Hauler. Can we trade??? 😉 Let me know.
Dolly
Hey there,
This is a great way to get new friends…..LOL. I’m really happy i can help.
I hope i have replay to everybody now. I’m going back tomorrow and just pack the Treasure Jar and take it home with me : ) Hope they have more in stock, who knows, maybe is a Gask-Its inside i didn’t see : 0 I guess this are maybe the lefts over from UK Promo? Anyways, i’m really happy i found them.
Dolly
Crazy!!! Their toilets flush backwards too I think…
As much as our friends in other countries have to pay for their Cars, I’m glad to see them get a deal on something… Congratulations, Dolly! I’m sure you’re going to get many new friend requests.
I just checked the TRU website for Europe… It shows 14 TRU stores in Austria… I was hoping maybe it would be available for sale on the website…
Thats amazing
why cant that be australia not austria
Well, you guys got a lot of Cars in Australia. Here in old Austria is really hard to find something but this is a good year:
1.- 2010 Collector Guide with Dragon LMQ
2.- Cars Toons
3.- Chase Fillmore with Cans
4.- Chase Fred with Bumper Fallen
5.- Chase McQueen with Can
Now Faux Wheel Drive?!!!! Maybe they have in the small Jar a Gask-Its?? :0 hehehe….
WOW!!!!! Dolly P. want to be my friend…. 🙂

No problem Sandy, my mail: perello72@hotmail.com
