TRU in Poole had the flyers and promo labels on the pegs but hardly any cars.
Looking for: Vinyl Toupee (Dinoco 400), Easy Idle launcher, Dr Mater/Burnt McQueen 4-pack, Team Dinoco Crew, Team HTB Crew, Team Leak Less Crew.

I know I guy on your side of the pond that sent his receipts in a couple of weeks ago, under the old assumption that the promo was going live at the begining
of the month. Curious to see if they honor it given that they changed the date after the fact.

Me too, I have 3 x recipts at Mattel, one from the 'original' T & C's on the website and two from the differing T & C's on the flyers.
Be interesting to see what and when the Cars turn up.

I think the original terms are still on the web (at least they were a week or so ago by following the link on page1) - print that off and send it with your
receipts if they are dated pre 19 Sept. That's what I did. Fingers crossed
And yeah - the stock in TRU near me is poor. It's hard to even find 5 decent cars to give to the kids!! |

Hey guys, this sounds like the SideWall Shine promo we had here in the USA. Nothing but G. Ramones, and yellow Ramones on the shelves during that 2 month
window of the promo
for SS. So not too many sent in for it, and that is why SideWall became such a rare promo car. Of course now the launcher is coming, as a year has lapsed and it is no longer exclusive. Do any of you UK collectors know if there is a similar contract with TRU and Mattel on this new promo? A year exclusive with TRU? need Shiny Wax Hauler, Gil Hauler, Fred no plate, Final Lap singles, Cars Toons singles.
Have to trade: Chase Dinoco McQueen with Trophy Cup, Chase Saluting Sarge, Chase Ferrari. Octane G. Hauler, Trunk Fresh Hauler, Frank, Elvis, Sarge Lenticular
x 6.

The UK Promo's Vinyl Toupee has been re-released and Take Five A Day had pics of a Faux Wheel Drive Launcher so I guess like Sidewall Shine and the N20
re-releases they don't remain exclusives forever, but thats not really a bad thing as it gives everyone chance who missed out/new collectors to get hold of
them aswell without the crazy ebay prices..
Also we already know Tach O Mint will be a Launcher, the only two we have no re-release knowledge of are Gask- Its and Apple.. so maybe give it a year I
still hoping Apple turns up again.. its not the same as the MSOTS if it has rubber tyres so Mattel can dodge the bullet on that exclusive.. maybe wishful
thinking lol

real?

Rumor has it that the UK promos are onsite at the Mattel UK warehouse and could be shipping this week. Let hope and pray for good news and not a repeat of
N2O.....oops I hope I didn't just jinx us.

I just posted that as well, Rippers.
I thought it might be Sidewall Shine since Mattel seems to not repeat promo cars back to back, and the US promo for SS was poorly handled. |

I wonder if the left over N20's will get thrown into the mix aswell?

I doubt that on N20 Cola, because that promo was handled better, although there are those rumours of 10 thousand N20's sitting in a warehouse somewhere.
But as mentioned up post, the SS promo was so messed up. TRU was not shipped stock for that promo and pegs were nearly empty during the entire promotional period of 2 months. Yes some got SS, but not that many people sent in for it. |
