Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Kmart CARS on the Spied on the Shelves …
“BrianD.” in the US and “MrBrownstone,” in the UK already have Kmart CARS on the shelf …
On the shelf at his Kmart in the US …
He got almost all of the racers …
Interestingly enough, he was not able to snag Faux Wheel Drive, View Zeen or Gask-its …
Though View Zeen was apparently selling in the $30 range a while back so … I guess someone pawed past Tach O Mint to shout – VIEW ZEEN, FINALLY! I SEE YOU!
And in the UK, “Mr. Brownstone,” found the Kmart CARS at the Disney Stores …
I predict there will not be a lot of Tach O Mint’s left. 🙂
Looks like they are £6 at the Disney Stores UK or €8 at the Disney Stores on the continent?
Nice to see them just hanging on the pegs.
And one of the two new lenticulars (Race Tow Truck) Tom and CHASE Lightning … not sure if Dash Boardman made the trip? Presumably?
And it looks like the Disney Stores are getting a new box design for the 20-pack … more of the “Night Skyline,” look.
This probably explains why the current 20-pack is about 29% off at the Disney Stores – $69.99.
Happy shopping!

spotted in the UK the Kmart day 5 synthetic rubber tyre race cars in the Disney stores over here….They had tach o mint gaskits tank coat sidewall shine faux wheel and nitroade
And i feel a right #### as i ordered x2 tach o mint from the USA thinking like all wow and didnt buy the one i saw in my local Disney store this week (had to white lie to the boy as he was over the moon seeing them), and then today i only recieve 1 of the 2 i ordered from the states and guess what now they all sold out in my local disney store now apart from nitroade 🙁

You: Mwuu hah hah hah!!!….
OK, so I didn’t say last last part to “Desmond”, but I did call the phone number he gave me. On the first 2 attempts, the line went did when I waited for someone to speak with, but when I finally got through and talked to them for a little bit, I realized I was given the number for Sears Appliances. They transferred me to the “delivery team”, who basically told me what Desmond did online.
So I have to ask myself once again, why oh why do I continue to do pre-orders with Kmart.com?????
The most ironic part of this whole episode is that they just emailed me a survey based on my phone call — that is the first email I’ve gotten from Kmart PERIOD! 🙂
(MET: You made a new LIFELONG FACEBOOK-LIKE FRIEND! 🙂 ).
Managed to bag a chase Mcqueen today!!!!!!!!11 only saw nitroade rubber tire in my disney store here in the UK!!!!!!
was in a rush so didnt have time to ask if there was some out back!!!!!!!!!!!
have asked them to save me a case though!!!!!

Finally found the 3 pack with synthetic tires in Colorado Springs today. They had about 8 of them. Yay!!!
Managed to get 6 of the race cars from my Disney store here in the UK (didn’t need nitroade or view zeen) thanks to the young lady working there who remembered I was hunting new additions to my sons collection. She had seen them come in and thought of me, 2 mins later I walk in the shop! She brought them out for me from the delivery area.
Now I have one very happy son.
Nice to see these over here, now for some more final lap stuff!
I didn’t buy the Gask-it or Faux Wheel Drive since I purchased the three pack.
I found the Kmart CARS at the Disney Stores, in LONDON-UK!………..
Where in London did you find them?
thats $5 off $5 toy purchase guarantees me free cars awesome awesome awesome
Is Dash Boardman still coming out on the Final Lap card? I assume the one in the Kmart case is lenticular.
He is lenticular
May I ask a question?
Since when is the tow truck called “Tom”?
On the original package and on the blue-ray disc he is called “Tow”
Do you think they mixed him and “Race official Tom” up?
(MET: What I sort of suspect is it might be the result of some bored trademark lawyer at Disney … hard to trademark a Tow truck called Tow (too broad) so my guess they randomly slapped a longer moniker which you can trademark … Look for it on the back of Tow’s trading card – Used to be known as Tow but international trademark lawyers said ‘You Hasta Pick Another More Legally Distinctive & Descriptive Name.”™).
When Sparemint became Spare O Mint, all logic went out the door at Mattel!
I’m looking forward to having a Sidewall O Shine with rubber tires.
Personally, I cannot wait to collect “Piston Cup Pace Car Tom,” “Dinoco Helicopter Tom,” and “MegaSize Frank Tom.” Frank Tom will be super rare!
Or the Race Official Tom TomTom GPS equipped
How about Tom Hover?
HEY! The tow truck its called TOW , not Tom ;S . Tom its that piston cup official , color blue and yellow that appeared when the officials where watching the race video
(well , it appeared like Tow in the bluray car finder game)
Good to see that some of the Kmart cars are making it across the pond, but we probably won’t see them in Germany (no more Disney stores here). The closest one to me is probably the one in Paris, just 650 km east. 🙂
Cheers
Frank
Autobahn + Porsche Carrera Turbo = Less than 3 hours… not that bad! 🙂
FOUND A RUBBER TIRE 3 PACK TODAY AT KMART…INCLUDES FAUX WHEEL DRIVE, GASKITS, AND LIGHTNING MCQUEEN.
Also, check end caps facing the walls, rather than the open aisles. That’s where I found them, along with a small box full of hot wheel batmobiles and ecto-1’s. I think some collectors are bribing stockers to hide/place good new stuff in sneaky places.
I got a set a month ago from a friend in Australia… I can’t wait to add more of them… I still haven’t seen the 3 pack in stores but thanks to friends have several…
I’m still super excited about the even this Saturday which is now in 47 hours and 6 minutes…
No e-mails from Kmart for me either…
Cac, drop me an email, have a question for you

Tru has the View Zeen launcher online.
they ship these in bubble envelopes, I have returned 6 of them
do they really ship ViewZeen?
At £6 each in the UK I’ll be getting mine from my friend in the US
Its ok … a few more days and these will be FLOODING the pegs and ebay … I can wait a little while longer!! 🙂 I am glad that some of you are finding them. Cannot WAIT for Saturday! 🙂
I wish Kmart had a S.W.A.T. team that would descend upon the U.S. stores that are stocking these early and close them down for good. I wonder what Dev thinks of all this?
Speaking of which…

Still nothing from K Mart.
Kmart exec told me there were no coupons for Saturday’s K Day collector event.
Will the “$5 off Toy Purchases of $5 or more…” valid 09.01.10 thru 10.31.10 from the Kmart Birthday Club work on Saturday in store?
Betsy send me a email
aglare99069@mypacks.net
It should I used one today. 🙂
I dont think they are happy about it
Cant wait to finally complete the racers! I will be very picky with what I buy for Cars II or so I tell myself. I hope they do Formula 1 type cars.
Have 3 sets of KM5 already, the local kmart had them on pegs since last Friday, and has been restocking as well.
Where are you?????
Yes, Dash also made the trip across (I saw him in a boxed case where I got the chase from) someone had obviously beat me to him from the case that was on the pegs.
Interstingly both SWS’s were bought from the case on display – presumably as most people will have the Hauler and so want the car to go with him.
