What's new at Kmart? Absolutely nothin'
I have been to 6 Kmarts in 3 counties, traveled hundreds of miles and wasted lots of $$ on gas. Besides finding one Carla 2-pack and a few LMQ/Fillmore w/headset 2-packs at one Kmart a week or so ago, there are none others to be found.
It's bad enough I am forced to go into Kmart twice a year for the Kmart Days Cars, now I have to check these stores on a regular basis if I want to get the exclusives. If it weren't for Cars, I'd never set foot in a Kmart store again LOL.

Also, if you are lucky enough to find a set you have to look for the ones without bent up or torn cardbacks!

K-Mart– getting low on Singles, and the other lowly Kingpin Nobunaga I saw there when I bought the other one is sadly still hanging next to a Submarine Finn or 3 . Is it just me, or does K-Mart always get tons of Launchers? Because there were tons, and still some from the first movie!
K-Mart #2– Found another K-Mart about 15 minutes away from my town, and came inside hopeful, but came out depressed. There were Cars Toys, and a great selection too! About 10 Finn McMissiles, 3 Maters, 3 Lightnings, and a Rod Torque Redline. So I was joking on the good selection. No Deluxe AT ALL, and a bunch of 2 Packs, but no Crew Chiefs. And still a bunch of Launchers….. sigh

Kmart in Traverse City, MI had all the new carry cases and the Radiator Springs play set along with just about all of the wave one singles (except Fillmore & Sarge). Also had all the most recent rubber tire Cars. Looks like not many Cars people shop at this store.

My local Kmart finally got the Carla and Fillmore sets, only a few months late. Picked up a Carla set to trade for anyone who hasn't found it yet.

Good going Bobbyjack! I finally found a few today as well. Persistence really pays off this time, as well as traveling 80 miles out of the way for one last time – heh heh. Question: Did your cardbacks come banged-up (pre-store handling corner curls, dings, and machine imprint marks?), and do you note messy decals on Carla, and sloppy paint on Cruz's headset?

The paint and decals look fine on the cars, but of course the card backs all have corner curls. It also wouldn't be Kmart without those goofy price tag stickers all over them too.

I visited three K-Marts yesterday after the post on the main page. Struck out in all three. No Carlas, let alone the other crew chiefs.

I noticed a machine mark in the upper left corner of all the CC packs, also saw the creased corner, but only on one card.

I've been checking the Kmarts for Francesco and Jeff's crew chiefs and have seen the Carla and Fillmore Crew Chief case at just about every store I have been to lately. If you still haven't found them and haven't been to Kmart for a while, it might be worth checking out.

NONE of the 4 Kmarts within 20 miles of me have received ANY of the crew chiefs yet … I still have only seen them at one store …. 4 months ago … 50 miles north of me … it has been SOOOOO sad around these parts lately. It's a good thing middle school kids have been keeping me busy!

Our Kmart apparently re-stocked Carla crew chief sets. Something appeared to be amiss though. There were 4 on the pegs and all of them looked like someone peeled off the "Only at Kmart" stickers then put them back on. As if someone bought them, peeled the stickers off, then decided to return them, so the stickers were put back on. I left them hanging…
