K-MART
Collector's Day

Some of you have a hard time finding the latest Hot Wheels® cars, so Kmart wants to help you out – with another official “Collector Days” event!

On Saturday, June 19th, bright and early at 9:00 a.m., all Kmart stores in the continental U.S. will open their doors -- and some boxes! -- to the Hot Wheels® collector.

Some of the excitement you can look forward to includes:

Kmart will raffle off one 2003 126-car Gift Set 126 Car Collector Set (features the 126-car gift set featuring all 42 2003 First Editions™ cars, 12 Treasure Hunt cars, 12 Final Run™ Series cars and 60 Segment Series cars) per store!

Special assortments have been provided to Kmart, prepared especially for this event! Within each 2004 72-car case, there will be 2 each of 12 first-to-market cars (but not necessarily 2003 First Editions™ models) plus the odd Treasure Hunt car, etc.

So let’s show up and express our gratitude to Kmart for these golden opportunities – and represent the best of collectors everywhere!
