K-Day Collectors Event Feb 2017

Welcome,


  It's that time of the year again. K-Day is Feb 18th. A time for all those who collect to come out and get their hands on a case. That is, if there are enough cases. Kmart isn't the best at these events and I don't mean to be rude, but they need to learn to follow the rules. Every time I go, there is something different happening.

   Anyway, this year is looking good! Finally something everyone was asking for.....Datsun Bluebird 510.

Mixed reviews on it. I really don't like the wheels. The wheels don't fit in with the car.

Color wise, I think it looks great!

Make sure to follow the rules for the mail in.

Now, onto what we will be expecting.

Hot wheels has some special Kmart exclusive color cars that are going to appear.

55 Chevy is in recolor. I just barely found the first release (black) of the year. Now its in a beautiful green! Really cool looking car! I'm excited for this one!

Cool one isn't really what it says. "Cool" Not so cool. But then again, its more for the young ones than us collectors.

Custom 56 Ford Truck in its second color of the year. This casting looks amazing and I'm sure it will also be the star of the show. That is until a super is pulled. But you can say, I'll be getting my hands on a few.

Dodge Viper (not sure if in line up this year) looks great in the black. Another model I am looking forward to. I bet it will look great in some rubber wheels!

The first to market cars.

BMW M4 doesn't look too bad in the blue color. Not sure if that's an actual color that BMW uses, but maybe they should???

Chevy Silverado looks sooooo beautiful. This model for sure will be getting some rubber wheels. I think by far this is the best color we have seen in 2017. Still wishing I got the Target red color... Kinda looks like its plastic and I will be mad if it is...

Lamborghini Coutach doesn't sit right with me. I just don't like the tooned cars.

Thank you for reading and good luck!

Have fun collecting...

K-Day Hot Wheels Collectors Day Event

It's that time of the year again!


Have you placed your order for your cases? I know I have! The reason I buy cases are for review and/or if I cannot make it to the event. Another reason, Kmart has been closing stores left and right. A lot of collectors and scalpers then go to other stores where there might not be enough cases to go around. 

*Update* New list of closing Kmart stores shows my local Kmart near my new house will be closing!

That sucks, oh well.

Excuse me Mattel, can Target hold these events? Before you know it, there won't be any Kmarts. Might as well give it to Target. Why Target? Well lets look at Toys R Us first. They put the stuff out on the pegs. How is that a fair shot at something interesting? Walmart, employees are always hiding stuff for the "collectors." Target on the other hand seems to be more fair when it comes to hot wheels.

Not bad at all! If you can make it to the events, good luck! If not, go to kmart.com and order yourself a case or few.  The event is Sept. 24, 2016.

Have fun collecting!
