Motor Speedway of the South Numbers Update
— June 23, 2008 3 Comments
Just a quick update for those of you out there who snagged the exclusive Motor Speedway of the South set. Mattel is mailing out numbered stickers to those who bought the set. Here is a quote from an administrator on Hotwheelscollectors.com.
As many of you know, the sales article for the Pixar Cars Speedway of the South set indicated that the sets would be individually numbered up to 1000. This was an error in the article, as the sets were never intended to be numbered.
However, to avoid any disappointment with our customers, we will be mailing numbered stickers to all who purchased the set, with instructions on where to apply the sticker.
Stickers will be mailed randomly - the same way they would have been had they already been applied to the sets. This is in accordance with the way all numbered RLC items are shipped. Time of order does not dictate what number a customer receives.
We apologize for the error in the article and thank you for your patience.
So, they didn’t intend for them to be numbered, but told us that they would be. And now to make up for their error, they are sending out numbered stickers. Score! Seriously, congrats to Mattel for fixing this. Has anybody gotten one of these yet?
Hi
I am very lucky to have sourced this set, It cost me $1400.00 yet is worth every penny. The box is made of cardboard and strong plastic. As intially i thought it was thin clear plastic.
Really am pleased having this. I guess I bought it for a investment. As due to the credit crunch people are moving away from shares etc. Not sure I will ever sell it in the short term.
I posted this on twoaday… but wanted to know if anyone thought it would be worthwhile…
Heres a thought……
With the numbered stickers being done, whats stopping anyone from buying a website and having people list their numbers? I have a few websites and can grab another for a 20.00 bill(i thnk the first two years are 8.99 a year), I know some html basics…IT wouldnt be that hard to do.. anyone wanna back this up with a twoaday poll?
would be a free registering site….
example:
CSotSS # 0999 of 1000,
nascarnbroncosfans in Salt Lake City.
