Spot Exclusive Color Variations at Dollar General

Mattel should either make Dollar General sell partial cases online or stop giving them exclusives, it isn't fair to us in the West where DG doesn't exist.

Is Mattel gong to send cars to Dollar Generals????????  Stores near me havent had cars since before the last mail in.

That does suck. Nobody Kroger-esque near me, but at least I have the online option.

I only know of 2 Dollar General stores and both are over 40 miles from me and closest one Never has Hot Wheels in stock! Thanks for nothing Mattel's!😡

My local dollar general's never got in last year's exclusive cars and I had to get those from one of my friends at the flea market and none of my dollar general's hasn't gotten in any hot wheels since before Christmas and they were all of K and L Case cars and some of them still have peg warmers of those at my local dollar general's and one of my local dollar general's the pegs are completely empty now so I hope and pray my local dollar general's get these exclusive cars in so I can add them to my hot wheels collection.👍And those exclusive cars are all awesome and I can't wait to add all 4 of those to my hot wheels collection.👍

I've been going to my nearest DG at least 3 time per week for the last 2 months. Same (read) single Hot Wheels car still hangs there on the peg. How am I supposed to get 20 cars? I'm not going to 20 different stores, NO WAY. 

Well Sam L@@K what I found a DG today (March 20 2023) while hunting the 2023 DG color  variations!?!?! ALL 4 of the color variations from 2022 were (are) there in multiple sets!!! Soooo.... maybe in 2024 you can get the 2023 set of Exclusive Color Variations at Dollar General???

I bought two of the 2022 Custom Ford Broncos (dark yellow) from that pile you see there... Soooo... Don't despair, but Try tRy try trY TRY again Next Year mayBe???

Oh!!! I did buy the 20 HWs at DG(s) here in Starkvegas MS for the mail off Collector Edition Porsche 993 GT2 from Dollar General also and had a GRAND time of it!!!!

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVrrrr000000000000000000ooOOOoooMMMMMM!!!

You ALWAYS have to turn in the cards. And listen, any time you make a mistake on the mail ins, contact Customer Support. They are SUPER helpful and will let you correct any errors. I've done it in the past. 

If only Dollar General actually put out new cars. I need that Vette, the El Camino and the Porsche. 

Especially the Porsche.

yeah somebody needs to tell dollar general this is happening. I have six in my area and two off them have had NO hot wheels since November. and the rest have the crud nobody want to buy.

so far in michigan almost nothing on the shelf at dollar general have 6 within 4 miles of my house send some cases.🤐

If it's anything like last year the exclusives will be months late and scattered in 3 other stores in true Mattel fashion! At least they're consistent!

lol......just found the kroger exclusives from last year two weeks ago here in illinois. I just hope to see them before the time is up on the mail in

Here in the North East we do not have a Krogers for the exclusives there 

Here in the North East I don't have Kroger or any store related to Kroger so I miss out on the Kroger exclusive cars and the Kroger mail-in cars.

i have been to 3 dollar general stores so far ..no 2023 releases..  all last year hot wheels...fys grocery stores .all last year hotwheels....found a few at safeway grocery..now it has all last year hotwheels..walmart  all pegs empty...some matchbox are from .last year ...target  very few hotwheels on the pegs..who knows why ..

Do you know if they will ever start selling these promo cases on their website like Kroger does, and Best Buy did? My local Dollar Generals have not had the exclusive cases the last few promotions you had with them. And every employee I speak with always says, they don't know anything about a Hot Wheels promotion. Is it just my area? At first I would think maybe it was a certain store, but it's the same at like 8 different DG's all around me? Is there anyway Mattel can get these stores up to speed?

If it's a sought after set of exclusives, even with a dozen Kroger near by, odds of finding exclusive set in store is slim. Best thing Kroger did was offer the 36 ct cases online.
