I live in chino valley az I have shop at the Safeway there for years. I have an son with special needs. He loves hot wheels and I buy him one every time I shop there. Lately I had to wait for the hot wheels to be put on the shelf .

I asked a employee why . An he told me that the other employees go thru the cars before they put them out to get the good collectible ones and if I wanted one of those the people in produce is who to talk to or go on ebay that they resell them there.

I talked to Safeway Company but not much has been done. I fine it sad that little kids can't get a toy because adults employees take them before they even go on the shelf.

As an uncle, I try to bring joy to my nieces and nephew. Both nieces are my goddaughters. My nephew isn’t my godson however, I try and spoil him like I do my girls. Here’s the problem! My nephew loves the WWE.

His favorite superstar was Shawn Michaels. Your company allows AMAZON to distribute WWE Elite Edition Shawn Michaels fan takeover figure exclusively on their website. Since my nephew shared pictures with me months ago, I’ve been on the prowl to get it for him like I did the HHH fan takeover that we’re still waiting for.

A few weeks ago I hit the jackpot and scored him two figures. I get my email confirmation and get excited that his birthday gifts will be awesome. The very next morning I wake up with an email stating that my order was canceled because of a credit card error. I get…

No in-store restroom. The clerk made my 3 yr old run 2 blocks away to use the bathroom!! You cater to young children and parties. You would think you would provide them a bathroom. FARMINGTON STATION, UTAH! I spent $91 and was treated so poorly!!

Next time I will spend my hard earned money somewhere else.

Hello, I sent the following message to Mattel Hot Wheels today, 14 Feb 2018. Since Hot Wheels CS moved from Wisconsin to Pennsylvania, I am thoroughly unimpressed with the change. Since Hot Wheels began shipping in bags instead of boxes upon the move to Pennsylvania, that was bad enough. Now the once Friendly Customer Service has become the Unfriendly Customer Service. Change is suppose to be good, the change to Pennsylvania has not been good at all. This needs addressed and fixed quickly to get the CS department back to the high level as before.

THE MESSAGE BELOW WAS SENT 14 FEBRUARY 2018:

Please DO NOT CANCEL my rewards order 1416256601 Pink 67 Camaro Rewards # 2017_2...... Please instead cancel order number 1416233664 which was a cash transaction. I can't believe I have to ask for…

Please consider on a revised 24 inch voltron, this voltron is horrid. I'm most certain this voltron wasn't tested properly, you can't even move this product in its entirety without the lions legs popping out all over the place, my goodness it can't even stand up straight without leaning back or tilting forward, and its articulation is horrid I'll tell ya.

I took it and threw it in the garbage. Please Please revise this Voltron. The only thing I was pleased with was the look of the lions. NEED TO DO A BETTER VOLTRON. Take heed Have a great day .

I am a single mother of a little boy who desperately wanted a Mattel hot-wheels ultimate garage and fan man play set this year for Christmas. This toy was exclusive to walmart stores, and was in very high demand. It was sold out for days online, but i was diligent and checked every single day.

One day, to my delight, the walmart website had it in stock at several of their stores in my area according to the Mattel website. I ordered the toy, paid for it with credit card and received and email saying the toy would be ready for pickup the same day. When i received no confirmation email saying the toy was ready, i called the store only to discover that they didn't in fact have the toy, and they had been out of stock.

I was told to call customer service for walmart. I was put on hold for 20…

At mattel, my son was able to find his hot wheels stuff. Mattel keeps upgrading their shop by having the latest collections and the newest toys. From Disney to Barbies,hotwheels and many more, one can find really attractive toys to keep the kids busy.

That's not all, they have online games that are interesting and fun too. My kids really find the shop interesting and the online games keeps them busy during their holidays. The toys at Mattel are worth every penny so I do not have to worry about money getting wasted.

Highly recommended for parents who want to buy toys.
