In case you missed it, Greenlight Collectibles and the CW Television Network have joined forces to offer fans of both the TV show “Supernatural” and Greenlight diecast, a special treat. At the beginning of the month, Warner Home Video released “Supernatural – The Complete Third Season” on DVD.

Each DVD Box Set sold at Best Buy will contain a GreenLight Collectibles 1:64 scale 1967 Chevrolet Impala 427 die-cast car. The car was designed to be a replica of the Impala driven by Dean Winchester (played by Jensen Ackles) and Sam Winchester (played by Jared Padalecki) during season three.

The highly detailed ’67 Impala features:

• - A die-cast metal body and chassis
• - Gloss black body paint
• - A two-tone interior
• - Ohio “CNK 8003” license plate from the show

In total, there will be 26,500 DVD Box Sets available at Best Buy stores throughout the USA and Canada. This offering is not only a great opportunity for GreenLight collectors to add an excellent and unique piece to their collections, but also get a look at pretty decent television series as well!

Now that the latest Kmart Collectors Day has come and gone, the special events continue with the Kmart 2008 HOT WHEELS Collector Edition ’56 Chevy Nomad Promotion! Mattel teams up with Kmart for this type of special offer just a few times a year, and collectors are certainly in for a treat during this 40th Anniversary celebration.

Just as in the past, this is a 20-for-1 mail-in promotion. Simply buy 20 select Hot Wheels basic cars at any Kmart and send in the full card backs as well as a check or money order for $3.00. In return Mattel will send you a gorgeous Hot Wheels Collector Edition ’56 Chevy Nomad with the following great features:

• - Mate black paint
• - The classic Hot Wheels flame in red and white on the sides
• - Red stripes on the top
• - 40th Anniversary Logo
• - Real Riders five-spoke wheels with red stripe tampo
• - Metal body, chassis and engine
• - Light smoke-tinted windshield

Collectors should note that the original announcement for the promotion mentioned that the ’56 Nomad would include an opening hood. Since then Mattel has updated the announcement to let collectors know that the final version will no longer be including that feature. Despite that change, this 40th Anniversary Nomad is a great looking piece! Be sure to visit the official promotion announcement on HotWheelsCollectors.com for additional information including details on which card backs are acceptable for this promotion.

Posted last week over at HOTWHEELSCOLLECTORS.COM, was a RLC-only preview of the next mail-in offering from Hot Wheels. The Dairy Delivery will be the second of four mail-away cars for 2008. Done up in the same paint and tampo scheme as the Volkswagen Drag Truck offered in the current K-mart promotion running through 04/26/08, I’m sure that there will be no lack of participation from Hot Wheels collectors around the country.

The retail location, from which the cars and card backs must be purchased from, has not been announced yet. So stay tuned to HOTWHEELSCOLLECTORS.COM and diecastAUDIO for further information regarding this piece.

The ability to get early notice on great offers like this is yet another reason why Red Line Club membership has its advantages.

Keen eyes will notice a slight change to the 2006 Hot Wheels “Collector�s Kit” set being found in Toys �R� Us stores. This set traditionally contains 20 carded Hot Wheels vehicles, a 2006 Collector�s guide and $10 in coupons good towards Hot Wheels products, but now features an exclusive Blings Chrysler 300C with Faster Than Ever wheels! This version of the Blings Chrysler 300C can only be found in this set and it is replacing the �69 Camaro Z28 which also featured Faster Than Ever Wheels and was previously available in the HotWheelsCollectors.com version of this set.
