Head's Up! I was reading over the rules (because I apparently have time like that) and I noticed a pretty glaring difference:


During the Promotion Purchase Period from February 14, 2015 to March 21, 2015 buy any 20 (twenty) Hot Wheels® 1:64 basic cars from the 2014 to present assortment numbers C4982 and/or L2593 from participating Kmart stores or from Kmart.com.

So while they've added the ability to buy cars from Kmart's website (within the valid dates of course), it appears they will no longer accept cardbacks from before 2014.

And I just gathered up a bunch of 2011-2013 cards to be ready for this year...

I know it was a joke, but just for reference, all of these stores: http://newsfeed.hotwheelscollectors.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/2015_HWC_KmartEvent.pdf

IDK, I think it may work the other way. Most collectors have saved up cardbacks from the previously eligible years for the mail-in cars, now they're going to have to buy more recent cars to open to get the cardbacks. Might as well buy them from KMart since you need the receipt anyway.

Damn, that's about an hour with good traffic, no? Our stores are pretty spread thin here, fortunately for these events there's one pretty close.

The store that used to be about 5 minutes from my house was next door to the Kmart distribution center for the southeast region but they closed the store anyway. The one they kept open is about 25 minutes away and there's no easy access to the freeway. Logistically speaking it would have made more sense to keep the closer store open.

Dude K-day was nuts since they closed 2 local Kmarts in the area we had 30+ collectors and scalpers. Someone stole my friends Jeff's case when he was not looking. I but I have extra cars if anyone missed out. I'm gonna check when I get home. I'm looking for an extra Chrome Batmobile if anyone wants to trade.

This is the hard one to find. Some scalper had 7 and would not even come off on one. Lame

I know it's ridiculous and uncalled for over toy cars, but scalpers deserve to be beat up... severely.

Had a relatively successful K Day experience today. Being that it was my first ever K Day, I walked in a little early and was told that they had 28 cases. My wife and I were guests number 31 and 32 out of 36 people, which gave us a decent shot at getting cases. They gave out tickets and were going to call out ticket numbers to decide who got a case. I was the 8th ticket called, and my wife got called about 20th. We each got to rifle through our own case. She knew what to look for :lol:

My case gave me 1 or 2 each of the KMART exclusives : blue Chevelle, yellow Datsun, Green Monte Carlo and Shelby Concept. My case also had a couple Boss 302 Mustangs and Fast and Furious Corvette Roadsters. One Lambo Hurracan, blue NSX concept, Batmobile. Other than that I left the rest for someone else.

My wife's case turned up more items I was looking for. The VW caddy, white Mazda RX7, more Datsuns and KMart exclusives, and the Mooneyes Dodge van. She snagged a convertible Camaro, HW race C6 Vette, Bentley, and Race E36 BMW in blue.

Other than that, no TH's or Supers in any case. I didn't hear of anyone getting any Supers. Seemed like a few people were looking for the VW Caddy and Mazda but I only heard of only a couple other people getting 1 or 2 of each. The Datsun truck wasn't very popular among this group. I probably could have walked out with at least 20 more of the little yellow truck (my wife bought me ten of them for Valentines Day) :D

All in all, it was a great first K Day. Total purchase was 30 0r 31 cars (11 yellow Datsuns), so I'll mail in the receipt for that special El Camino. I would have been real bummed if we hadn't found the VW Caddy, Boss 302 or RX7. The Dodge Van is cool to add to the collection but the Super would have been much better.

If anyone wants a Datsun truck or any of the KMart exclusives, just let me know.

Just notice the New Z had a similar paint job to the old Datsun Z and flipped over the cards. Yet another Then & Now !!

No supers. Busiest KDay I've been to so far. There was a family of 6 with individual tickets, one guy that got two boxes because his "brother was in the bathroom" and so on. I scored leftovers.

We had 2 master cases (eight total 36ct cases) when normally we have 5-7, so a lot of people and not a lot of cars. All of the cases did not have the 370z, the NSXs, or the C6 Corvettes, and there were very few RX7s, F&F Vettes, or '62 Chevy trucks. Not to worry, they'll be out in all the rest of the stores soon. Got the 20 I needed for the mail-in receipt (including a couple sets of Kmart exclusives) and called it a day with that.

The wife of a reseller (nice way of saying scalper) lost her mind when her number didn't get called and demanded to speak to a manager. She's always trouble at these events though, while her husband is usually pretty courteous. By the time she was talking to him all of the cars were gone, she could have just joined in with the rest of us in laying the cars out on the table and picking through them. They promised to call her whenever they get a new case in. Ha! Hope she enjoys waiting because that store only gets KDay cases.

And don't worry Randy, the McLaren will be plentiful whenever the bins start hitting in force, there's a silver recolor coming in G case too.
