Hot wheels toys r us mail in
Nostalgia!
The Hot Wheels "Track Builder System" was a popular mail-in offer from Toys "R" Us in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Here's how it worked:
- You would purchase a special Hot Wheels track set or a certain number of Hot Wheels cars at Toys "R" Us.
- On the packaging, you would find a unique code or a special offer to mail in for a free bonus track piece or car.
- You would send in the required number of proofs of purchase, along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope, to a specific address.
- After a few weeks, you would receive a package in the mail containing the free bonus track piece or car.
The Track Builder System allowed kids to build and customize their own Hot Wheels tracks, and the mail-in offers encouraged them to collect and trade track pieces and cars with friends. The program was a huge success, and many kids have fond memories of participating in it.
Some popular mail-in offers from the Track Builder System include:
- The "Loop-the-Loop" track piece, which allowed kids to create a giant loop-the-loop in their tracks.
- The "Tunnel" track piece, which featured a tunnel that cars could drive through.
- The "Bridge" track piece, which allowed kids to create a bridge over a gap in their tracks.
- Special edition Hot Wheels cars, such as the "Track Builder" series, which featured unique designs and colors.
Toys "R" Us discontinued the Track Builder System in the mid-2000s, but the nostalgia for it remains strong among many who grew up with the program.
