GM & Dodge

Alright! This is the first multi-car POS that you can actually get all four at the same time!

OK, the Bayer Promo advertised "Get All 4 Cars", but no-one I know found all four at once. I think only Aleve, Alka-Seltzer Heartburn and Bayer are the only ones reported, and only one of you found the Aleve so far. Anyone know what the fourth one is?

Yes, M&Ms has multiple cars, but they're doling them out slowly, since March there's been the regular M&Ms Packs2Points PoP, and the K-Mart POS cars. The regular M&Ms, Pedigree, Snickers Cruncher, and this month (or next) the Pedigree School Spirit car. Speaking of the #36 Pontiac, did anyone get the K-Mart/Pedigree car? I got mine some months later, and it was a 2001 leftover. If you got a Pedigree car, check for the HomeWard Bound sponsor in front of the rear wheel (you can't miss it, big white square with a house and heart logo), let me know if you got one without the logo, that seems to be the major paint scheme difference for 2002.

So what is the Promo? I hope you have a Target store near you because it's "Exclusively at Target". Two packs of GM cereals come wraped together, one regular box, and one special edition box with the little plastic insert and a car. The box has a profile of the driver, or in the case of the #43 car (two paint schemes) the team owner. You can get Richard Petty on Honey Nut Cheerios with the BuzzBee paint (last year's, but different, not the Petty BuzzBee for 2002), John Andretti in the regular Cheerios with regular Cheerios, Jimmy Spencer in the #41 Target car on Lucky Charms, or Kyle Petty and the #45 Sprint with Golden Grahams. These cars are all a little different from last years paint, they have "Target" on the Trunk.

This is kinda-neat storage/display solution. It gets expensive, but it is neat. Racing Champions has come out with "Stackers", a pair of cubes with "Lego" tops & bottoms. The four sides are clear with the front opening to easily remove or store your cars. It even comes with a (cheapo - like the cars in the Amoco Case Promo) diecast, but of the four cars I saw, none were NASCAR, and I thought only two were worth getting. But for $3.50 for a pair, they make an OK display for loose cars you don't want to have to dust. They have a cool set-up pictured on the back, I counted over 170 modules and I'm sure there are more behind what you can see, that's a cool $300.00 - and more, I'm sure!

Keep your eyes peeled - they're out there!
