Want to tour the Hot Wheels Design Center? All you have to do is show Mattel a photo of your collection! (And have them choose you as the winner of course.)

Did you know that Oompa Loompas work at the Mattel Design Center?  Did you know there is a room where everything is made of Super Treasure Hunts, and the rivers flow of spectraflame paint?  Did you know there is a machine where basic Hot Wheels enter and turn into Supers by way of unicorn sneezes?

It probably isn’t true, but how do you know?  Have you ever been there?  Well here is your chance.  Mattel is going to give a lucky collector and a guest a chance to visit the Design Center to see where the magic happens, unicorn sneezes or not.

You want to be that person?  I promise you do.  All you have to do is show Mattel your collection:

As part of a special Ultimate Collectors Contest with Kroger – special exclusive sets hitting this week – the Hot Wheels Team is inviting you to show them your collection, and they will choose a winner to venture to LA and see the Design Center.

How cool is that?  That is not an invitation that is offered lightly.  The Design Center is under heavy security, and I promise no matter how badly you would like to visit, they won’t let you in.  Those that have visited will attest to the treat that it is, and it would be awesome to see one of you get that chance.

Just follow this link, or visit Kroger stores and find the display.  That’s it.  Here are the details:

Show us your ULTIMATE Hot Wheels collection for a chance to win a trip for 2 to the Hot Wheels Headquarters in Los Angeles!  Spend a day with the Hot Wheels design team and get a behind the scenes tour of the design studio.  This experience is NEVER open to the public and is truly a one-of-a-kind, VIP experience!

This runs through the end of the year, so don’t wait.  Get those submissions in.

Too bad you’ll have to sign an NDA and won’t be able to tell us about the unicorn sneezes.
