  • FYI: Sears sells Cars...Well sort of...

    I've been scouring my city's anemic store stock of Cars lately and had to resort to getting creative. The two nearest Kmarts to me have closed in the past year and it got me thinking that Sears is a related store so why not. And Success!!!

    Not sure if you all know this, but Sears does sell Cars...well sort of:



    The pegs are bare, except for a lone Francesco...If these pegs had 20 Francescos I would consider it empty.

    All things being equal, you should be able to find a small carousel of pegs near the checkout in the children's clothing department. As you can see in the picture, it is actually a Cars/Planes peg section. I asked the cashier, and she confirmed this is the only toy section in the store. Well, this particular Sears anyway.

    I check Sears once in a while. Sometimes I find Sal 2 Packs.

        I've only seen Cars at 1 Sears store - it was in Indianapolis... our local Sears closed this summer.

        Most people know to check stores such as Walmart, Target, Toys R US, and Kmart... if you have a Meijer store, they have Cars but don't always have a good selection.

        Some other stores in the US where you might find Cars - they may or may not have them all the time or have a good selection:

        Aldi - usually for Christmas and Easter - I expect to find Cars there again towards the end of October.
        TJ Maxx/Marshalls - part of the TJX chain
        Kohl's - used to be a very good source for Cars but lately they've just had leftovers since May 16, 2011.
        OReilly Auto Parts
        HEB - a grocery chain
        Giant Foods
        Fred Meyer
        Kroger - Signature stores tend to have more... I've seen decent toy selections at one store in northern Kentucky and another in Dayton, Ohio.

        Some pharmacy stores, such as CVS and Walgreens, carry a few Cars... you may or may not get lucky.

        Occasionally Costco (warehouse store) will have Cars merchandise

            Yes... right before Easter 2013 they had 2013 case D... singles were $2.99 each plus tax... however, I don't believe Aldi stores in other countries get in Cars.

                I checked a couple of Sears stores in the last month or so, but they had not re-branded the display with the dual Cars/Planes sign yet.

                      Interesting that some of you have Cars in your Aldi stores - my Aldi is food only and that's it.

                            I think you are thinking of something else...I have never seen anything showing an affiliation between Sears and TJ Maxx.
