Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: It’s Kmart CARS Day in Australia Already Already
“MCL Sydney” sends us some nice pics of their version of Kmart CARS Day in October … only it takes place in September and not in Kmart but otherwise, the same CARS sold to you by slightly thinner sales clerks …
Yes, we’re working on getting you case assortment info – yes, all the rumors you’ve heard are true but since we are still nearly a month away from the pre-sale – it’s all just sand in the wind for now as the Australians might say* … and yes, that is the CHASE CAR in the Kmart Case …
I’m presuming it’s just some plastic ‘paper wrap’ like effect so the wheels still roll and not actually tiny sheets of wax paper and tiny, tiny masking tape … though that would be cool – but people would peel it off and eat it … in other words, tiny kids would be saying, “mommy, dad ate the wax paper on the McQueen.” But maybe a bored customizer will make it all authentic … The taped up windows do look cool though … so again, nice little touches …
Well, since you would probably like one bit of information that hasn’t already been spilled … there will be a Kmart CARS Day 6 in 2011. 🙂
Thanks for the nice pics, MCL Sydney

This petition sounds like an Mattel/Apple/pixar company release. I would almost bet this was written by a corporate insider. It does not sound like anything that would be written by a father of a two year old who happens to be fans of Cars and Apple products. Just two many refrences from anything to long ago Super bowl references to Male Barbie dolls and a whole bunch of other company tidbits.
The big corporations behind the products probably started this petition so later they can say they had to cave to consumer pressure and rerelease it. The petition is a good way to gauge interest as well.
As to the question of should they make it again-absolutely. I have my real one from the SOTS set but would rather see many thousands of collectors happy than to insist on keeping the Apple car exclusive to the set.
There are many collectors who could either not afford or missed the chance to buy the set. Also there are a whole new generation of 2 to 6 year olds that werent even born or too young to collect when the set first came out.
To allow collectors to have 35 out of 36 cars is just so anal. Give the people another chance.
Anyway I dont care what has been said to whom. I firmly believe it will be made again. The history of the players involved says they will not leave the money on the table.
Plus remaking the Apple car will be great for all the companies involved going foward. The couple hundred people who have a set and may disappointed by re releasing Apple will be dwarfed by the tens of thousands of consumers who will be very happy to finally have an Apple Car. One way or another I am saying it will get made. Just watch.
Fine print at the bottom of the petition:
The “Cars” Apple 84 Die-Cast Vehicle Petition to Mattel Inc., Disney/Pixar, Apple Inc. was created by iWant Mac Users Gruop of Puerto Rico and written by Luis Javier Juarbe (iwantmug@mac.com). This petition is hosted here at http://www.PetitionOnline.com as a public service. There is no endorsement of this petition, express or implied, by Artifice, Inc. or our sponsors. For technical support please use our simple Petition Help form.
I believe its a genuine attempt to get the Apple car re-done. but again, GOOD LUCK
I wouldn’t bet anything on it
And the I want Mac club has no Apple connections? Its probably funded by them.
What does it matter what the fine print in the disclaimer says? As if the supposed Author couldn’t have been paid to let them rewrite it or just paid in general? Who knows the true story of how the petition started for sure. We will never know.
The company insiders wouldn’t admit in a disclaimer that corporate members helped in the designing of this petition no matter what anyway.
However usually truth is the most likely and reasonable explanation, as opposed to the stories that tell us that don’t make so much sense. Like to me this I want Mac guy is just a little to close to Apple to be a regular concerned collector.
Either way since we are so on the opposite end of the spectrum on this one; one of us will owe the other a “you got it”.
I believe if it is going to get done it will be soon. They may use the Apple Car in a few early prominent scenes in in the next movie to kill two birds with one stone.
Then they could put it in a Cars 2 package and say well it was exclusive to the first movie in the SOTS set.
do you mean:
Occam’s razor (or Ockham’s razor[1]) is often expressed as “the simplest explanation is usually the correct one”
Anyway, If they ever do re make it so other cars collectors are to be happy…is the right way to get it ….
Id rather be wrong and everyone else be happy.
The Imac club probably has no more connections than takefiveaday does at getting anything done for distribution and characters for diecasts.
I would love to take a look at it for you.
2 things: Set your camera at Micro distance or some cameras its Macro and or Macro 2 for even closer shots, M M2 etc. No Flash and against a darker background.
The best and highest resolution you can obtain on your camera.
no more than 10 mb per email to:
nascarnbroncosfansATmsn.com
as far as the wheel n deal of Mattel, I have sat at Martins desk 2 times and that car has come up at least once.
Not to mention a few SDCC autograph sessions at sdcc and dinner aterwards
I know that it was a one shot deal, and not an “open ended contract” and it was a huge PIA because of the duplicate #84 not to mention Apple themselves and how tight they are with their trademark.
And again, if we even hear “Officially” of it ever getting redone, it will not kill the speedway set resales, but it will hurt it a bit. Why not hurt it?
Date codes
Wayy to many purists in the hobby that want the original original…. others will take a later date code and make a “Poor mans speedway set”
I have one on ebay right now with high res pics you can compare to yours jambouk
Its just come to my attention that there’s an online petition on getting the Apple car re-made.
I personally think its wrong to have The Apple Car re-done and or as many racers they have already re-done in plastic tires, because of exclusivity, not any loss of value but the fact that “an exclusive set is a set” and be done with it.
I didnt mention the rubber tires re-re-re-releases because they are different enough from what they already have re-re-released in plastic tires.
I don’t think it will help getting it get re-done but here it is anyway.
Someone mentioned on another post about “not enough GOOD-GREAT apple customs to go around”…. thats funny as heck…. way to many Nitroade bodies with plastic tires and rubber tire chassis’s and good customizers that we wont see it dry up for awhile… probably years.
Now my personal opinion and many others is why not 43 cars instead of the 35. Well thats a Nascar question that has to do with qualifying for a race, pitroad vacancies and other “points” rules, maybe for a later discussion too.
Anyway… heres the petition. Good luck getting it re done.

Oh…… and if anyone here does sign it, which I see a few have already, lets give a “note” back on the comments section of that petition to Met and Tizmans work by a giving a “plug” that your

Thanks for the photos jambouk:
YEAP Factory 2nd. From what I can see its a nicer copy. But definitely a Factory 2nd and not a custom either.
Ebay markets from 180.00 to 234.00 ………..maybe more if it has no chips and ROLLS nice.
let me know what the date code looks like if its FAT letters or thin or there at all
I see a lot of people myself included are really interested in apple car,
I know it was only a 1 time deal with apple for a short run of cars but surely if it can be arranged once they can sort something out again
I think that there is a lot of money to be made from this car and pitty ETC. so much so that surely it cant just be ignored?
NASCARFAN you seem pretty well informed on this car i would like to hear your opinion……if like we think MATTEL keeps an eye on this great website then we can only keep the debate boiling in the hope that they take notice and give us the most sought after car in the whole 300 or so releases, Just one other thing i have an APPLE i car that i bought beleiving it was from someones genuine SOS set….in my humble opinion its not real but would love to find out for sure either way, can we find out for sure if we have a real car and if not what DO i have?
(MET: Did you read the post on the Apple CAR?)
heres a side by side comparison to Factory 2nd and a real apple car.

Went to Kmart in Colorado today and they have the sign posted for October 23rd at 11am. It is my Birthday also and I can’t wait to get these. 🙂
Kmart Cars Day is getting closer but there doesn’t seem to be much new information. Is the pre-sale date I have been hearing correct??? Oct. 10. That is on Sunday??? If so, haven’t heard a time, seen a link on Kmart.com, confirmed case list, pricing, etc. MET…can you help us out with some solid information? Thanks!
Bill, if you will drop me an email I can send you what BMW and I know too
nascarnbroncosfans–at–msn.com
Just saw my Local Mattel rep (Linda) who has been nationally recognized for her work at Mattel, we chatted about Toons, and Batmobiles, and of course Kmart Day #5.
She had no info on Kmart Day #5 and well rats, I had to tell her what we thought my be coming….She sorta asked how I had any ideas, I mentioned takefiveaday.com and handed her our Club card…mentioned that Austraila has gotten them already…she shook her head and basically wasnt sure how that happened.
Darn it no secret info!!!!!!
My Kmart in Colorado does have the sign posted so I know that it is October 23rd at 11am. Don’t let them fool you.
the wheels look like they’re made of wood. LOL. Can’t wait, but I will.
I wish my Kmart was still open!
Someone once brought up the possibility of Kmart day 6 case contents being a mixture of not only the last of the SOTS racers from Cars 1 but some of the Cars from Cars 2.
I believe this collector was probably right on.
Given the proximity of the next Kmart day to the release of the next movie it makes perfect sense. Also a great way to hook Cars collectors to keep going.
I can definitely also see the Apple car having a role in the next movie and be included in the case. Making Kmart 6 awesome as well. This way Apple can actually be the last and first racer released. A perfect transition.
Despite any denials, I just can’t see Mattel, Apple or Disney leaving money on the table and never releasing the Apple car again. No way. Just watch Apple will be sold again. They can make too much money not to.
Of course they will say they released Apple again for us. However they wont mind making the money or keep us interested and willing to keep spending.
It’s Demand and supply. We are demanding it so they will supply it.
Once again, Apple car was a one time deal, not an open ended contract
From everything I’ve read about the Apple car, it “can” be released again. The only question is, will it be?
I wish I could “read” that…… I know what I have been told by Mattel people. It wasnt an open ended contract
no apple !!!!!– what about banana–or orange perhaps
is there any outside chance that kmart will release or make available some kind of collector case to go with all the cars they re-released–maybe a kmart rubber tires SOTS
Props to MLC!!! This looks like it will be a VERY good Kmart Day!! 🙂
Read about this last night… man… this looks to be the most expensive Kmart Cars Day yet… Can’t wait to get home and open all the sealed ones I have 😀 Can’t believe we’ll have 97.xx % complete of it in about a month 😀
Tach-O-Mint x2
Tank Coat x2
Gasprin x2
FWD x2 or 3 Really like the design on him 😀
Nitraode x1
Sidewall Shine x1
Shiny Wax x1
View Zeen x1
Dash Boardman x1
Chase x1
So yeah… most expensive for me at least to date… 🙁 Can’t wait 😀
Wondering about KCD6… last 4 Rubber Tires? King, Mcqueen, Chick, & iCar (Really doubt about iCar but I can still dream 🙂 )
Gasprin was in 4, not 5.
This is my prediction:
Tach-O-Mint x3
Gask-its x3
Faux Wheel Drive x3
Tank Coat x3
Sidewall Shine x2
Shiny Wax x2
View Zeen x2
Nitroade x2
Chase Lenticular Paint Mask McQueen x1
Lenticular Dash Boardman x1
Lenticular Lightning McQueen x1 (this is obviously some sort of Pixar requirement to include this in each and every case)
Surprise Car x1 ???
These hit the shelves here in New Zealand today, YEAH
Can’t WAIT to get these.. 🙂
I got fired up from reading the posts so I made my rounds of the shops. Nothing new here yet except one Rusteze can LMQ chase which I left for someone else since I have my allotted two.
The pegs at Toys R Us are absolutely packed but they are all Mater the Greater stuff and leftovers from the cube. The cube was wonderful but I hope the remnants don’t become a clog in the system. The sale should help.
Madbob found this and posted it over at CTT… VERY interesting find… perhaps the surprise we were told about for the big Kmart Day???

(MET: Place an order and let us know what you get).
Mmmmmhh…should I take the risk?
I dont see how you can order online, says out of stock
YAWN!
I placed an order and they are already “switched” the items.
Lightyear Launchers that Mariela posted about:
you knew it was to good to be true right?
I guess theres faults in the system that is currently in use. Information STILL doesnt get forwarded from the point of order the final order pulling.
well heres the story:

Another example of WHAT NOT to do.
At several steps of failure….
Was the online item(s) actually-really for sale—Yet?
ONLINE ITEM ORDERED information wasn’t carried through. To “stay” in specific name of item and item code
ONLINE ITEM ORDERED information wasn’t checked with Original order and what is in computer and STOPPED the order.
ONLINE ITEM information wasn’t carried through to “GOPHER” to be sure they WILL NOT “change your order”
“Changed ITEM ORDERED via GOPHER information wasn’t checked with ORIGINAL ORDER and then the original customers Okay to change-subtittute ANYTHING.
“GOPHER” ITEM ORDERED information was changed anyway, passed the “buck” onto the store.
Actual Kmart store pulled from an “assortment” of SKUS. NO SPECIFIC product name and once again no specfic UPC code for the ORIGINAL item was questioned.
Customer refused the order. 3 people who work at Kmart store took the time to try and understand why it is such a big deal.
Understanding a similar order process from just about anywhere…..
you order a 2011 Blue Mercedes, and they decide 3 different changes/times to give you a 2008 USED Silver Ford?.. heck you might even get a Big Mac with Iced Tea for that matter…… doesnt anyone in this day and age have a software system that works?
Kmart should really change their software systems to include COMPLETE information and not arbitrary SKU numbers “they think” we want.
UPCS are printed for a reason and so are the character NAMES ON THE BOXES. After all we order Cars cases online and get them right most of the time, (with the exception of assortments wrong from mattel) right?
We dont get cases of laundry detergent sent in its place do we?
We dont get heart medicine ordered at the pharamcy and then go to pick up our orer at the pharmacy and get hemorrhoid cream do we?
Did we NOT learn anything from the Paul Valdez fiasco???
Alot of time and money could be saved.
I dont think its intentional errors, I think its a polishing or complete OVERHAUl thats needed.
Still, as a huge supporter of Kmart “Cars” Days and its CSR’s who work with myself, BMW and Met, I think they are doing the best thing with collectors.
Kmart: Lets polish the system or throw it out the door, get a new system and get it down to the “nubbins” and get it right. We know you know the difference between Apple Ipods and tires and sports equipment…. But come on… this CANNOT BE rocket science.
This is what a “pick ticket” or packing slip looks like at the FINAL order pulling.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/31059714@N06/5008683159/
whats wrong?
NO SPECIFIC order information was given to several crucial order checkpoints FROM the ORIGINAL ORDER.
Result? Wasted time, and employee hours, shipping costs, customers unhappy
I’m impressed you were able to find 3 employees at your local Kmart!
I’m continually amazed at this type of thing with Kmart. Obviously, one hand has no clue what the other is doing… more likely trying to talk to a foot.
I wonder just how many other areas of online ordering for Kmart are just like this? What happens if I order blue sheets… do they care what color ends up being sent, or size, or brand, or curtains for that matter???
Thanks for the rundown Nascarfan… and I agree on your sentiments regarding the Kmart days and such. Seems like a systemic failure versus employees, as most probably see no difference between what you ordered, and what you got.
Wouldn’t it be nice if retailers would actually USE the UPC that the manufacturers put on every product?
i wont bother with the kmart online—when i ordered the paul valdez with them i got a mack hauler–but the funny part was my ticket was for a bed spread in chicago (i live in florida), wrong item, wrong packing slip–no clue.. i was turned away at one local kmart because the item and the packing slip didnt match, but the other kmart gave all my money back plus a gift card to cover the shipping–STAY AWAY FROM KMART ONLINE.
They shorted me a case of Cars for the last Kmart Day, although they did refund my money after I called it in.
When I ordered the Kmart Cars cases on the first Cars day…. they sent me four CARS cases and one pair of red pajamas….. I ordered five cases… how can someone screw that one up that bad. (and to top it off I could not return it at a kmart… i had to call up and send the pj’s back)
Kmart online is awful!
Wow! A definite surprise. Rubber tire Mcqueen with Faux and gaskits.
A dream come true!
I remember Rubber Tire McQueen on eBay quite some time ago. So yes, the dream shall come true!
I typed my email into Kmart’s website to ask them to email me when the 3-pack is available. How much do you want to wager that:
(a) I’ll never get an email;
(b) I’ll get an email long after Kmart Day 5;
or
(c) both of the above
I pick C!!! Lemme guess… the prize is a Paul Valdez Hauler ordered direct from Kmart.com, right??? 🙂
BINGO!!!
rain man says (K-MART SUCKS)
ANSWER IS C , but you will also get an answer about a toothbrush holder
John, the 3 pack set is the same as any other 3 pack set, No software exists to be assured you get the Rubber Tires set.
(see several step failures above about the online ordering process and its lack of specific information)
Found these @ Target, Macquarie Centre. It was a huge surprised to see them on shelves..but NOT until i read this realised those were the upcoming Kmart cars..hhmm 🙂
I picked up the Chase car..The wheels are not wrapped in paper..its actually the whole tires are brown papered tires (plastic). Back window is also covered by brown paper.
3 out of 4 tires are brown papered, the left rear tire is whitewall tire.
sorry guys..I’m an opener so I didnt actually pick any of the other cars just the chase. I’m happy with the SOTS set I’ve got 🙂
Re Shifty Drug hauler…as Jeaks mentioned..THEY ARE EVEYRWHERE!
MLC Sydney:
how many of each were on the pegs?
probably 2 cases worth…
Its wouldnt buy and sell to any of you guys as they’re double the price in the US and plus shipping…unless if you really insists then I can go grab some or whatever is left.
What an awesome find!!!
What a truly fantastic case assortment! This one may even warrant taking the day off to attend. Or… how about a road trip to Oz to buy these off the shelf right now? So the flight would be about $2,300, plus two nights at a hotel at $260, plus maybe $100 cab and food, of course you have to get 2 of each car, so let’s see that comes to about $140 per car. That’s worth it for Tach-O-Mint alone, right? Wait, you have to allocate money for Shifty Drug Hauler too, so maybe don’t eat, just drink water. Is this store anywhere near Sydney? Hang on, have to have funds for Dash Boardman, too. See you all later, I’ll be on Expedia planning this out, and explaining to Mrs. Man-I-Fold, “I’m just going to the store. See you in 3 days…”

Is someone can tell me where they have purchase Bessie (I mean TRUs, WM, Target, Kolh, etc…) ? I didn’t see any in Arkansas and Texas so far…
I stopped at TRUs last friday and got Dragon McQueen without oils stains, Mater UFM and Stripped Kabuto… I missed the others; Kyandee, Mator with cans, Kaa Reesu and Mater Drift Party by few minutes… A guy next to me have filled his cart with all of them… Darng!
Where in Texas are you located?
Bessies are here in Houston.
send me a email aglare99069@mypacks.net
Lewisville (north of Dallas) Actually my friend is looking for me in there. By chance I have him, he have got me a lots of cars I never saw in here (Little Rock, AR)… Once in a while I am going in Dallas so I pick up several cars he has stocked for me and an other friend of mine from LR also… My next visit in Dallas?… You got it. First week-end of November for the NASCAR race!
Who cares about the Chase car. LOOK, IT’S TACH O MINT!! 😯
Just saw on Toywiz.com that Marco F/AV-18 Jet has a brother. Stu Bop the Jet is coming soon to all Cars fans! No picture included, though. Marco Axlebender, Chuck “Choke” Cables, and Brian Antenna Ball Seller are also listed, but it says that they are out of stock. Can’t wait to see these in stores, as well as the K-Mart Cars! You can see it here at; http://www.toywiz.com/wocvehicles.html
Tach-o-mint !!!!
I was hoping that Wrecked Hornet would be the Chase. Any other new cars? Someone said they saw Dash. I don’t think he’d be the surprise. I think he’s just a first to market car. Anyway, I’m excited.
My son just pointed out Shifty Drug Hauler in the photo above — I think we’ll move to Australia for sure!
Shifty drug Hauler = Peg Warmer in Australia.
K5 cars popping up every where in australia. Hoping they find their way to Perth some 4,000 kms from Sydney
Well Done MCL wonderful score
What an absolute riot, as I have never seen Shifty Drug Hauler or Vinyl Toupee Hauler at retail, but they are already pegwarmers over there!
Truck loads of those in Toronto as well…
my Toronto Blimploads observation is at the walmart on Bathurst and Centre Street. They still have about 15 Al Ofts from the day they opened (3 years?) and they are getting slowly destroyed each time they remodel the store.
John, check your local “Kohls” store, if you have one. That’s the only place I’ve seen SD & VT Haulers. They’ve stocked them three times that I know of.
Tripping over Shifty and Vinyl T here in Ireland and they are reduced to €12.99 since last week.
Very happy for the people that found them. However I find it appalling that we have to wait for a special day a month from now for supposedly Kmart exclusives and they are already on pegs overseas.
I’m not surprised though. Just another example of Mattels distribution methods.
Ridiculous also that the priced there are do much more than here for the same product. Yet they are closer to the factories. Mattel is something else.
This is Mattel’s marketing plan:
• 8 Racers (WIN)
• 1 Chase Car (WIN)
• 1 Surprise five weeks early on a different continent (FAIL)
Nice find guys “down under”
