John and Julie (the family that collects together, stays together) just let me know about this Exclusive (no mention of UPCs or product purchase). The Visine Racing Team WebSite has quite a few products and collectibles to choose from. There's 2 ball caps and a T-shirt, and even a stuffed toy car! The 1/64 car is the 2000 baby blue BGN Monte Carlo from Team Caliber. There's a matching Racing Champions transporter too. There are also two different Team Caliber 1/24 scale cars available, the same 2000 car as the 1/64 scale. This is the White Knuckle series - nothing opens, minimal interior detail. (what do you expect for $18.00?) Then there's the Visine-A sponsored car, this looks to be the high end Hood Open car (for $49.00). The little car is only $2.00 and $1.50 for shipping, so if you like to collect the BGN cars, and Exclusives (I've not seen the BGN cars in stores) are on your list, this is a pretty good deal.

Excedrin Promo Update:

I found one (and only one so far)! The #92 Excedrin Tension Headache Cooling Pads car and the previous #92 look similar. The Hood Graphics and the door numbers bursting through are quickly noticed. I found mine on a box of Extra Strength, ProMoCo says he's found it on 3 different products, has anyone found the car on a box of the headache pads?

Kleenex Promo Update:

It seems (in an eMail from the Kleenex folks) that the order forms were not on product; like the Pedigree offer, they were on tear-off forms. The good news is an official 3X5 card will do - with your Name, full Address and Phone with check or M.O. for $1.25 and 3 UPCs. You can use bar codes from the following products:

Kleenex Cottonelle bathroom tissue and Fresh folded wipes, Viva paper towels, dinner napkins, and of course facial tissues. Also Scott bathroom tissue, paper towels, and napkins, Huggies baby wipes and Splash 'N Go! hand and face wipes.

Expiration date is 12/15/01, so stock up for the cold season so you can collect those UPCs! Send it all to:

2001 KLEENEX Miniature Race Car Offer
PO Box 7805
Mount Pleasant, IL 60056

I want to thank Tony from Indiana for donating a couple of Promos. They came in great condition and today, on my birthday no less, they will occupy a special spot in my display. Along with other cars from ProMoCo several gaps in my 2000/01 collection have been filled. Thank You!

Keep your eyes peeled - they're out there!
