K-mart Kday

Samson Monday, 1/7/2013

I am new to hot wheels and wanted to try and get some information about the Kday event i have heard about.


Discussion

Something that happens three times a year at participating K-Marts. Usually the first one is the 2nd week of February, but the date hasn't been officially announced yet. It seems some of them do it differently. My K-Mart gets in X number unopened cases (it changes each time). They give every person a ticket. If your ticket is called you get to open a new box. Most people go to these to get the treasure hunts and super treasure hunts that are in the boxes. You get five minutes to take five cars from the box. If there are any uncalled tickets, they call them again and you then get to go through a previously opened box. They also have first to market cars and K-Mart exclusives.

If you buy twenty cars in a certain time frame from K-Mart, you can send in the receipt and backs of cars for a mail in collector car. If you are not an opener, then you have to track down the backs.

Like I said, I have heard that some K-Marts do it differently but those are the rules they are supposed to go by.

Do you have K Mart store where you live? Twice a year K Mart sponsors a Hot Wheels Collectors event. The set up a bunch of tables and then bring out cases of cars. Everyone gets a ticket and when the call your name you get to pick a case and go through it. The you get to go through all the other cases at the end. It's pretty cool....bring a wad of cash......LOL The next event will be in Feb. I'm not sure what day but it's national.
