03/11/2017 — Hot Wheels is once again partnering with the big box retailers to offer promotional vehicles for buying cars at retail. Kmart, Toys R Us, and now Walmart will all be the mail-in retailers where you send in receipts and card-backs for mainline Hot Wheels cars totaling $20. This marks the first year in a while that Walmart will be doing the traditional mail-in. It appears that they have scrapped the Race Rewards program, a program in which you could accumulate points for buying any Hot Wheels retail product, and scanning that receipt into the mobile app. The Walmart promo may be a pure mail-in now, but if one thing will remain constant, it will be that their promo vehicles will continue to be #ZAMAC editions. Below is the list of 2017 mail-in cars:
- Datsun Bluebird 510

ORANGE TRACK DIECAST 
Sweet deal! I buy tons of hotwheels. I am a very admint collector. I’m very Happy to see the hotwheel company giving some back to there customers.
How do I learn more about the mail-in offers
Feel free to follow this page and we will update the details as they come.
Any word on the Long Gone? It starting to show up on ebay now but still no dates for the mail in yet.
Hey Tim, still no official word yet.
I know that my local Toys R Us does not participate in the Hot Wheels give always so I will miss out again. No employee of Toys R Us can tell me which stores do & do not participate and why. I could drive 80 miles to the next one but they aren’t sure if they participate or not.
Hey Joshua, as far as I know, all Toys R Us (TRU) receipts are valid. The store employees are probably not knowledgeable because they don’t have to do anything, since its all on you to buy the $20 worth of cars, and send in the receipt and cardbacks for the Long Gone.
I can see Mail ins 1 through 6 but number four seems to be missing because they did a Wonder Woman car this year.
Any word on where the number four car is?
I believe it was revealed that #4 was scratched so the Wonder Woman Jet could be a promo. I have no idea what it was suppose to be.
I went to Kdays in November, bought 20 cars, but where do I mail them to and instructions? I greatly would appreciate info on this as the expiration date is coming near. Thank you. Robert
