International Mail-Ins

Mattel Exclusive cars are Hot Wheels, which were sent directly from Mattel to their customers.The Mattel Exclusive Series is a Hot Wheels series in Germany.

The contest
In Summer 2009 Mattel GER started the first Mail-In-car. For every 10 barcodes you´ll get one of the 5.000 free VW Fastbacks from Mattel on Longcard and in a Kar Keeper. If you sent 20 barcodes you´ll get 2 Fastback and so on. It was limited until end of december 2009 and the shipping was a problem and took too long

The Car
The car was the ´65 Volkswagen Fastback in the same variation like the US-car, but the card was a bit different. The US had the writing "Collectors Edition 2009" on the HW-Logo and the German one hasn´t this.
