I was just about to post about this. I have a Kmart in two directions about 1/2 hr away. If I can get to one I'll get what I can. They'll be all over Ebay for sure. I really like that Flying Colors issue. Gotta get me one

I don't want to have to resort to eBay, but I also don't really want to have to deal with crazy collectors at the Collector Day. I've heard you can buy Collector Day cases online, so I'm thinking about that route, but then I might not end up with as many trucks as I'd like where I'd have a better chance in the store. I'd like to get 4 (2 for me and 1 each for my boys). I dunno how I'm going to do this one yet.

[special-K]

I've never gone to the store on one of these days. It would be a first time experience for me. I don't even go to the grocery store on Black Friday or go for any type of sale where people crowd to the stores. If I go to a circus I want to see dancing elephants

I checked the local Kmart this weekend and they had only three slides of hot wheels. I was very disappointed. What is the KDAY event?

My nearest K-Mart sucks too. I rarely bother stopping in to look.

The K-Mart Collector Day "K-Day" is held twice a year I believe. I've never been to one, but the way I understand it is that you show up and they give you a number. When they call your number, they give you an unopened case of cars packed specifically for the K-Day event. You get to open the case and pick out all the cars you want from it. If they don't call your number, you wait until the case selection is over to dig through the leftovers.

There are always a few cars with colors specific to the K-Day events along with a few other cars that are first to market on K-Day. It's also the beginning of a promotion to send in for an exclusive car.

This is the info on the September 13 collector day:

Thanks for the info! I would love to get my hands on the green Chevy and the Monte Carlo. I used to drive a black 86 SS myself. I'll check out the local store that day.

If you don't want to bother with the crowds, you might check later that day after everyone has left from the event and you might find some of the cars. I know a couple years ago I stopped by my store a couple weeks after a K-Day and was able to find a few of the K-Day exclusives I wanted just hanging on the pegs. The Silverado is a popular casting, though, so I wouldn't really expect any to be left behind by the K-Day collectors.

I went over to the Target down the street from work yesterday to get a Hot Wheels loop track for my kids and found this. I did not have a tow vehicle so I got it.

[silvereagle07]

I finally got some pics of the a few I have. Some may have been posted before.

[silvereagle07]

A few more.

You've got a good one there. That one is high on my list to get, but it is not going cheap!


I have a pair each of the Super Treasure Hunt and the yellow lifted Off-Road Silverado in the mail and heading my way. I'm pretty stoked about those.

[silvereagle07]

More...

[silvereagle07]

These last few I found at Walmart. They resemble squarebodies from the sides and the cab . They are really cool. I have a few of these out and in boxes. They all come with trailers with either an atv or a boat. What do you think? Are they squares?

[silvereagle07]

In the box.


And another cool one I found.

[silvereagle07]

If you're talking about the red/white one, it's my favorite. It resembles what I've planned for my GMC. I paid the most for that single one at $8 at a Super Chevy Show a few years back. My 7 yr old daughter just saw it yesterday and wanted to open it. I quickly gave her some of my Camaros and Fords. LOL!

Yes, that's the one I'm talking about. I wish I could find it somewhere for $8!! That's a friggin' steal on that truck now!

These are the 6 that I'm currently missing...

[1badgmc]

And these are the 2 that I have heading my way in the mail (2 of each)

[silvereagle07]

Man, you are killing me! I have never seen any of those except the police version. Now I have more to search for.

[flashed]
