Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Kmart Cars Day Event #7 Checklist + KM Offer
The next Kmart CARS Collector Days event starts soon.
LIVE this Sunday for online sales
The In-Store Event is definitely set for 11:00 AM Saturday, October 22, 2011 at your local Kmart.
(For those who have never been through this – you can read our post for KM Cars Day #6).
There is a little twist this time – the ONLINE case assortment is DIFFERENT from the IN-STORE case assortment … but it’s not hugely different … it’s more like crossing the border from South Dakota to North Dakota …
Here is your checklist.
So, good luck in deciding whether to pre-order or not.
Thanks “BMW,” for the updated info.
AND PirateDad sends us some nice photos of the poster announcing the event …
Plus the special offer – buy 5 CARS on October 22 ONLY – get a coupon to save $5 on the Blu Ray combo pack (Blu Ray/DVD comes out November 1). I’m presuming the coupon is a Kmart-only coupon.
Thanks “BMW,” and “PirateDad.”

Anyone going to be getting an extra set or has gotten their hands… I’ve got a wedding I can’t miss that I have to go too and its not worth buying a whole case this time around.
I joined the site today because I was trying to find information about new releases, because I found these on a Kmart shelf last night. I picked up Lewis Hamilton, Carla Velosa, Miguel Camino, and Jeff Gorvette. For whatever reason I wasn’t smart enough to pick up Lightning McQueen or Raoul Caroule because in my mind they were so common that I thought “oh I’ll get them next time”. Oops. I had no idea this was something that wasn’t even supposed to be released yet. They did not have any Max Schnell so some other lucky folk picked that one up before I saw them. I’ll probably head back today (even though it’s over an hour away) to see if they’re still there, but by now they’re probably gone. So I’d suggest everybody checking their local Kmarts just to see if they put them on the shelves already too.
(MET: Welcome to T5! Yea, usually a few leak out before the day so good for you!)
i’ll be waiting for the Kmart poster……
i don’t like Kmart days lately……
Boo.
I just left my local Kmart. The toy dept. person was there and she knew as much about K-day as Sergeant Schultz.
Has anyone asked WHY the contents are different in-store vs. online? And how sure are we that this is indeed the case?
Met, your headline says Event #7, but the graphic says #6.
(MET: Whoops, all the squirrel employees are gone for the day (or at Busch Stadium) … ).
Squirrels are good for SOMETHING!
Remember how much fun the first couple of Kmart events were, when things were new and exciting?
Ahhhhhh, the good old days…………… 🙁
Mattel sure is taking the fun out of collecting Cars…
Please make available for sale what we want to buy instead of dictating what we can buy… stopped at a Kmart today… Saw the Lightning McQueen Alive for $62.99… Saw the Bomb Blasting Mater for $69.99 (it’s the same price at Meijer)… saw the old $30 garage that is now $51.99 because it contains 6 Cars2 pegwarmers… saw the multi-level playset for $52.99… saw too many Tomber 2 packs at $8.99 (no exclusive 2 packs at this store)… 6 of 10 Deluxe are Submarine Finn McMissile… they’re stuck on the 12 Pit Crew Exclusive Mater that they’ve had for months… even the singles marked to $2.99 are not moving at the local Kmart store.
It’s been a great ride on the Cars product line… but it’s getting ready to crash and burn for even people who’d consider themselves to be diehard collectors…
How hard would it have been to have 6 Cars with quantity 3 and 1 with quantity 2? Or 5 with quantity 3, 2 at quantity 2 and the 4th McQueen for the assortment of 20?
And to answer the earlier question, if you order online, you’ll get either Kmart 7 or Kmart 6 Cars as they come 20 per case… the others were 18 (Kmart 1 and 2) or 24 (Kmart 3, 4, and 5).
I think you mean $50 set for $30
Chris, I couldnt agree more, I have said that Kmart needs to step up to Mattel and tell them where the bear ****’* in the woods, but Oh well.
If anyone overseas is reading and wants a Kmart Day #7 case I Have a few orders already and will be ordering them for those that cannot get them shipped overseas.
Minimum paypal fees and plus shipping to Utah and then to you apply

Nascarfan,
I live in the UK and with no Kmart we never get these great selections. I’m looking for 2 Kmart Day 7 cases so if it’s not to late can you help?
I already have a Paypal account so no issues with payment and if there is anything that you are looking for that is unique to Europe or just hard to find in the US let me know as I work in retail and I am able to find items not generally available.
Regards
Kmartx send me an email and I will help you
What Mattel should is sneak something like Ransberg Finn McM
Into the store cases for people who actually go to the event.
Great idea! Mattel, are you listening?
No chase car in the cases, but this would be great if there was. Kmart needs to lean on Mattel hard.
Bad idea…i prefer being one of the two people there..no lines…no other collectors…all the posters i want…it’s been nice the last 4 times…I was surprised to be the only one there for 6…I thought the movie would bring more people…oh well…
Is there a universal term for HO-HUM?
Yawn…
Not even going to bother getting up for this one. Rubber-tired versions of CARS that everyone already has. Bring on the crew chiefs!
I am going to have to order online. Our neighborhood Halloween parade is on the same day at the exact same time :(.
This is the point where I need to go watch the scene in “Groundhog Day” when Bill Murray laughs at Andie McDowell’s choice of college majors and says, “What a waste of time!!”
Met, you need to add “Column 2B”, which is what Kmart.com will really send out if you order online. My money is on cases from Kmart 4, Kmart 5, or Kmart 6.
Ah yes, but then later, he’s busting out the French poetry. One of my all time favorite moments in a movie is when she is all surprised and asks “You speak French?” and his expression and intonation when he replies “Oui”. Priceless!
Does anyone know if the give away poster is different from the one they gave away in June?
If this case would have had only 3 LMQ’s instead of 5, I would have ordered it online. Since they decided to make it LMQ heavy, looks like I’ll have to go to the event to get the ones I want.
I am surprised they haven’t introduced an exclusive mail-in car yet.
5 UPC’s for ‘so-n-so’ , just to get the shelves cleared off.
My boys have a Boy Scout campout that weekend, gotta figure out how to leave for a bit. We have all the Cars but would still like a poster.
Mattel clearly know everyone wants to collect s at least 5 of lightning mcqueen in each case.
Cannot decide if this is worth the cross border raid….I mean I want them, but do I need them???
I like the Online Case better than the In-Store Case. Its one less McQueen and Max and one more Miguel and Raoul.
