Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Vitaminamulch Box Set Off the Runway?
The Vitaminamulch Box set was supposed to be a Walmart exclusive but has turned up at the Mattel Outlet stores.
What does this mean?
It’s hard to say. The bad news is that this seems to be a common occurrence in the toy industry – a big retailer committing to an exclusive and then changing their minds – so does this fall under that circumstance so that only a few cases were produced (for final approvals and such) and then canceled so they wind up at Mattel’s outlet stores?
“John H.” who set along these pics from the Pomona store says the El Segundo store did not have any. Is the store in City of Industry closed? There’s other outlet stores in Texas and Wisconsin – anyone out there?
So, it’s not like the Mattel outlet stores got dozens of cases – so is it limited? Or was it a normal run and the outlet stores only got a few cases and the distro centers are busy scrapping off the ONLY AT WALMART sticker from the other 4,000 cases?
The Mattel Outlet stores do NOT do mail order/phone orders. You have to show up in person.
If you want a photo review of the set, check out the link at the top.
Thanks “maganonno” who spotted this first and gave us a heads up – thanks!

Forgot this week is 30% off (Memorial day weekend) 🙂
I can check out the store in Fort Worth on Wednesday to see if it available.
Ft Worth did not. Laredo has it.
Met, City of Industry its been closed for 3years now.
(MET: Yea, I think I vaguely remembered …).
True, but 99.99% of us don’t live anywhere near a Mattel outlet store.
The $6.99 offer ended Saturday.
Oh no…I’m planning on going tomorrow. Hopefully they still have some at least with 25% off.
They could not even able to copy Vitaminamulch correctly… sigh…
I wonder if they plan on making any more pit row tent sets for Planes, also
I haven’t seen any new Radiator Springs Classics and we’re almost into
June now. No Milton Calypeer or Antonio Veloce Eccelente on RSC cards yet

I could say, same applies to Neon and Ice Racers, Target 4 packs…. In fact Targets around here did not received any Cars or Planes 2015 yet…
I want this just to get Sparky. I can’t think of $40 worth of Mattel stuff I need though.
All three characters have been on eBay for months, back door from China. If you want just Sparky, he’s around $13 plus shipping usually.
With discounts the whole set cost us $4.54 + tax.
