So as you may have seen, this has actually come out.

It's a Gamestop exclusive, now I don't know if you can just go in and buy one or if it's a freebie with a game. Though considering the Gamestop brand, I'm assuming you buy it.

I would be very greatful if someone would be able to get two on my behalf and ship it over to the UK? I'll pay all fees incurred and even mail you back a small thank you for your help.

Please don't link me to ebay links if they're not Buy it nows or have a huge postage cost as I do not do business with that kind of ebay seller anymore.

Can anyone help me out here?

I think it's a pack-in with the game. Here's what it looks like uncarded:

I would still like someone to find out. I don't think it would be packed in with a game since theres no way it would fit in the game box, which is why I'm hoping it would be with the videogame merch section.

It definitely isn't a pack-in or bundled - I got my copy at Gamestop. I also saw no sign of the Danica Car anywhere.

Is it even released yet? O.O It has no listing under Gamestop and googling had nothing.

It's on an ebay listing right now.

So I would assume it got released at some point last week. Though why they've not announced it is questionable.

But if anyone can find and get me two I'd really appreciate it.

I actually spent an hour or 2 the other day googling/eBaying the car, all I could come up with was the picture Sonikku posted

I'll drop by a store... maybe today or tomorrow

Is it wrong that I think this actually looks cooler than what was featured in the game?

Aren't Hot Wheels usually priced around $1.00? Wonder how much they cost at GameStop.

WTF? I want one, but I already bought the game. Better not only be for copies of the game. Dammit SEGA, way not to advertise things... again.

The implication is that it's a separate piece of merch that's being sold without the game. If anyone could find out, I'd love to buy one too.

I just saw these for the first time while working last night. I asked my manager what they were for and he said he wasn't sure so right now we have about eight or nine of them sitting in a cabinet behind the counter. We haven't given away any with the game but then I haven't seen anyone actually buy the game from our store.

Just went to gamestop, apparently they have them but will only sell them in a sale that is going to start tomorrow.

The bad news: they are not selling the car by itself. You will have to buy something (I'm assuming transformed) to get it.

Let us know, asap, gamestop employees. I'd gladly run out and buy two tomorrow if they were on their own. But if it is "with ASRT purchase only", then screw it.

if you got the game from Gamestop before, just take your receipt in and demand one since this was supposed to be a promotion for the game AT release.

If you can only get one with a copy of the game... I may still be interested if you can have one with the Vita version.

Though I'd appreciate it if anyone can get confirmation that it's only with sales of the game.

I got it!Posted Image

So apparently you do need to get the game in order to get the car. BUT you can do what I did.

1. Buy the game and get the car
2. Return game to get a refund

If you want to get two cars
1. When returning the game go to another Gamestop
2. When returning it mention the promotion and how you didn't get the car
3. Get a second car!

You can also do this in the same Gamestop but with different employees. Also mention is for a little sibling or something to get sympathy points from the employee.

P.S. I'm already offering the car to a member here, but if they don't want it I'll sell the car to someone else.

Edit: I'm might also tried to get cars later on the week for other members here.

Whats the back of the box look like?

Also how much is the Vita version and can you get them with it? If so, depending on the cost, would anyone be willing to get the Vita version on my behalf and ship the lot over? (This depends on the Vita cost).

Gotta buy a copy of the game, and the 3DS version ain't comin til Feb? Eh... pass. Not gonna put $40+ on my card, and return it, just to get a Hot Wheels car.

Might try my luck next weekend and ask to buy the car itself. If they say no, I'll burn their store down.

And you get the car with all versions of the game.
