We managed to get every one on the list picked up for us - my son is going to be very excited, possibly as excited as I was!

About 40 people there so there was enough to go around. The staff explained how it was going to work ---- tickets were handed out and called then you had 5 minutes to buy 5 cars. Some were complaining that they couldnt buy the whole case. This is ridiculous considering it is a KIDS event. Just the way the world is I guess . At the other LI store after the first round the workers said it was going to be a free for all which led to a disadvantage if you brought your kids . It is for them anyway. well i would like to say it was a great experience in Long Island, NY but too many collectors trying to make money. About 40 people there so there was enough to go around.

There were about 5 staff members helping out. There were about 15 of us in a "line" around the automotive section and we each got 3 full boxes to go through, each of the kids got a poster, and 2 of my family "won" the raffle to go through another case--which we passed on since we had more than our fill. I was surprised as to how many cases our store received. I was glad to get a set for my daughter and son to play with and one to put up. It was a great morning and went MUCH better than expected.

Well, my wife and I went to Kmart in plenty of time before 11 AM. 11:00 came, two managers came to the tables they had set up...one with the box of 6 cases, the other with a big roll of raffle tickets. Well, my wife and I were the ONLY people there waiting! So, they handed a case to each of us to pick through. After a couple of minutes, I asked if there was a limit. The manager looked around to see if anyone else was showing up, then said "No, take whatever you want." So, we took our time, and it was a great trip to Kmart.

They had plenty of new releases on the shelves in the toy department. Mini was on the shelf too - which I got a chuckle out of...remembering how six short months ago, I would probably have spent $50 to get that car....and there it was on the shelf for $3.49........

There were 14 cases available thru the raffle they held. Only about 25 people were there at 11am - kick-off time...My ticket got called before they ran out of cases and eventually I was able to get two of each new car available.(one for my collection, one for my four year old's collection). The store handled the event very well - Thanks KMart. But I was amazed to speak with other collectors and find out that most all of them had no idea they could have gone on-line to find out about Cars at CarsToysBlog.com....
