I like the rubber tires but the packaging keeps changing and I'm getting bored trying to keep up with all the different packaging. I have enjoyed collecting this stuff and I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with in the next movie but I'm also looking forward to finding something different to do with my life! Driving to Wal-Mart at 7AM on saturdays and saying 'hi' to the same lady who hands out shopping carts is killing my buzz! And yet the thing that bothers me most is that I still do not have Kori Turbowitz, Sarge, and Elvis............I guess I should pass the torch to the next generation of Cars collectors...........

When we got to K-Mart Sat. 10/17, there was no signage about the event whatsoever - but we asked about it and were directed to "a table somewere in the back of the store." After an exhaustive search, no table to be found. Finally Papa Tom noticed a woman wheeling three boxes around near the toy department, so he asked her - and, lo and behold, she was "the event." (Oh, and it was now 11:20.) The lady was very nice and friendly, opened one larger box - and offered boxes holding the total selection to each of the 3 of us waiting - we chose what we wanted (for The Boy, 6 of the race cars), and the lady graciously gave us each a huge poster (which will make a fun matching game for The Mighty Casey and Nana to play!!) When we left, a 4th interested party, a mom and daughter, had arrived. Ta Da! Some "event"!!!!!!!! And much like the first one I attended in The Boy's home town last Spring. But he loves the race cars - so there you go This is the 2nd K-Mart event I have attended to get Cars for grandson, The Mighty Casey.

Last time we went and after and they had several cars left. If they don't have that one we are looking for we will just order for it. This box is disappointing. :( We only need N2 Cola so we won’t be going to this event when the doors open. Last time we went and after and they had several cars left.

I would even ask for the manager. Generally, the event starts at 11 AM. They pass out tickets to those in line and they draw a number. When your number is drawn, you get to go and pick out a certain number of Cars to buy.

I only need N2O Cola. Then I will only need Faux Wheel Drive, Sidewall Shine, Tach-o-Mint, Gask-its, and Apple Car to complete the S.O.S. set car-by-car. Anyone got any leads on the others?
