Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to send in the whole blister card?

For mainline Hot Wheels, you need to send the whole cardboard blister card, but not the plastic bubble. For multipacks, you can cut out and mail the barcodes.

I don't open my Hot Wheels. What do I do?

For the promotion, you need to experience the fun of ripping open some Hot Wheels. But if you really don't want to there is an alternative.

Collectors who open their Hot Wheels often sell the leftover blister cards on eBay. Twenty mainline blister cards usually go for around $10 or less.

The assortment codes for mainlines have been the same for years. You can mail in your Hot Wheels mainline purchase receipt with almost any mainline blister cards.

Does my Hot Wheels purchase have to be on one receipt?

No. You can use as many receipts as needed as long as the Hot Wheels purchase is during the promotional period.
