Buy S&ASRT in Gamestop, get Danicar for free

11 December, 2012 9 May, 2025

Remember that Hot wheels replica of the car Danica Patrick drives in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, un-ironically a replica of another Hot Wheels car, who was shown some time ago?

Looked like it was totally forgotten…until now.

Sega has published on their official blog site how can you get it. And is pretty easy…you just have to buy the game on Gamestop.

Since December 9th, if you but the game on any of the Gamestop stores around the states, for Xbox 360, Ps3 or Wii U, you will get for free one of the Danicar replicas.

And what happens if you want the car, but you already have the game? Well…you’re out of luck. You will have to buy the game again if you want one. Bad timing…or good strategy to rob the fans wallets once more?

You can read the complete press release sega published, down below.

Not professional, it’s like they are thinking of ways to sell AFTER the game is sold.

I still can’t imagine who actually gives a shit about this enough to be upset by it. Yeah it was a stupid move to pull this after the fact, but OH NO, NOT THE DANICAR. I FEEL SO CHEATED

This is mind fuck for those of us preorderd

It is another push by Sega for the ever highly overrated Danica Patrick in the form of a free Hot Wheels Danicar, but it isn’t even a toy of their mascot or one of their intellectual properties. If it were a something like a Sonic, Tails, Eggman or even Ristar Hot Wheels toy, I would definitely feel like it was worth but I am sorry to say that for me Danica is left with her thumb up without ride on the highway as a lost and lonely hitchhiker in the video game arena.

Oh come on. I already got the Xbox version and I’m getting the Vita version. DX

So… you buy the game at Gamestop, and recieve a small toy car that you will likely forget about a week later?

Its a nice bonus for collectors and little kids, I guess.

“Good strategy to rob fans wallets” No. It was just bad timing.

What kind of ridiculous assertion is that?

The first time I ever pre-order a game, and the pre-order bonus is to receive NOTHING. Metal Sonic and Outrun Beach are common rarities that anyone can get and not only DON’T I get anything else, but people who DIDN’T order until now get a bonus? ‘DAFAQ SEGA!?

Who the hell likes Danica Patrick enough to re-buy the game if you already own it?

Nascar is cool but, if you’re really gonna pay an extra 60 bucks for a fucking hot wheels race car that will probably go on sale at Wal-Mart 4 weeks from now, I hope you get the help you need.

To be honest? Meh.

@Nuzamaki90: I have a confession to make. Ever since the game was announced, I have had a obsession with the very thought Danica Patrick with her photo plastered on every window and every wall of my house, in my wallet and on my t-shirt. I cannot help but think about her every time she makes another left turn on tv during the NASCAR events and hope she does better every race and does ASRT and me proud. I cannot stopping thinking now of having to get that Hot Wheels car or else my three months of therapy will go out the window and I will regress to my previous state and need medication and a straightjacket or I may get out of hand and hurt someone walking around in NASCAR apparel for any other driver and don’t even mention Jeff Gor…

jk XD

PS: Google “Danica Patrick overrated” and have the ride of your life.

PPS: For anyone who has second thoughts of becoming a Danica fan or *shudder* SonDanica fan, set aside some time to carefully read this to yourself. Reflect over its inner meaning and its application on the world in general. Realize how overrated Danica Patrick really is in the world of racing. Regret that you even remotely thought Danica Patrick was fitting to be in ASRT, let alone racing in the real world and rightfully deserved your attention. Then remember there is more to life than video games, the Internet and Danica Patrick.
