We've been on many a goose chase. The infamous Walmart Pallet Drop in October, then November, then December! Now, people have been looking for a Gask-its promotion at Toys R Us that hasn't materialized. Why? Well, sit back and I'll tell you...
Sidewall Shine was a winner, but TRU reportedly has 9000N2O Cola Cars parked in their warehouse waiting for a home!
I heard "Unofficially" from my undercover janitors deep inside the offices of Mattel, that Toys R Us still has 9000 N2O Colas left from the most recent 5 for 1 promotion! Additionally, I heard that fulfillment was a mess. Remember how many of you received Hot Wheels cars by mistake? Thus, the promotion was a bust! A disappointment! A fail-you-r to say the least!! With this in mind, any idea of doing another promotion with Gask-its is off the table.
So, I wouldn't expect to see any new 5 for 1 promotions for a while. I know a number of people were not happy to see that Mattel would be releasing an N2O Launcher. Can't say I disagree, but I can say that these promo cars were never marketed as "Exclusive" in any way.
You can count on me to bring you any news as it breaks.
I hope to bring you something great this week! Waiting on China to see if I can. Don't miss it! Subscribe to Alternator Valley!
