Mattel Disney D23 Expo: Convoy Brothers Already Checked In (Plus Buzz Price Change)
The Convoy Brothers have successfully moved from the Anaheim Convention Center to a nice comfy hotel room.
Housekeeping will wonder who goes to Costco to load up on Motor Oil while on vacation? 🙂
BTW, tax is NOT included in the $100 price of the Convoy Brothers.
So, it’s really $108 for the set or $108 something (OC tax is either 8% or 8.5%).
Though UPDATE on Mattel’s Small Fry Mini Buzz is $25 not $20 as listed on the D23 Expo website.
UPDATE: All is normal. No additional tax – tax built into price. In most cases, Mattel & other larger companies simply prefer to build in the tax to the price to avoid having to give coin change and/or simplify purchasing).
Buy a 6-pack and maybe you’ll get a free “collectors” Master Carton.
There are slight variants of the “oil stain” on the outside of the exterior box so collect ’em all. 🙂
Remember – the “stains, cracks and damage” on the exterior of the box are DESIGN ELEMENTS and printed on the sheet that wraps the box – more detailed photos in the original box post.

Thanks for the nice photos, “HK17!”

Great big thanks to you all ! Kevin , Josie, Mariela & Pablo … Thankyou for all your hard work in helping us again!! Great to hear that the price was $100.00 total .I cannot wait to see it in person !
I would also like to thank everyone involved in getting these sets at D23. I’m doing my best not to email you and bug you so that you can focus on the task at hand. However, I am sitting here at home bursting with excitement to get these guys in the mail! I appreciate all you’ve done this weekend and the weeks/months leading up to it! You have my sincerest gratitude! Good luck again today!!!
Shelby….you were good until some chick from Kansas blew in with her little rat dog and three bums said you told them they could have them FREE
Tin Man, you have no heart, toying with our emotions!
Thanks again! 🙂
Sitting here in the line this morning… I have to say that almost all of you are TONS MORE PATIENT than monster high doll customers are. Thank YOU.

Kevin Rocks!

I know it is kind of late. Is there any way you can get 1 set for me?
I started this list back in January and closed it in June, sorry no more orders for Convoy Brothers.
I JUST WANT TO THANK KEVIN FOR THE HELP! SPECIALLY MY NEW FRIEND JOSIE! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING OUT ON GETTING OUR ITEMS, MY KIDS ENJOYED THE BUZZ SMALL FRY A LOT!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU TONS!!! IT WAS A GREAT PLEASURE MEETING YOU GUYS IN CALIFORNIA!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!
SINCERELY
CHUY VAZQUEZ
My sincerest, heartfelt thanks go to Kevin and everyone else who is at D23 again today. I can’t even begin to fathom what a mammoth task it must be to purchase and distribute all these sets to other collectors around the world. And, I mean, actually stand in line for tedious hours (and days) to do so after driving who-knows-how-long to get there. Without you, most of us would never hold hope of seeing the Convoy Brothers in person. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again.
You are very welcome. Its six to seven hundred miles about 10 11 hour drive from Salt Lake City Utah… to Los Angeles California
Mark T.: THANK YOU for the errand run.
Chuki mama thanks for the coffee support
We had one person ask for the Ridemakerz Metallic Blue Lightning McQueen. We will hit that booth ONCE again today
1000x Thank you Kevin & Josie for helping out fellow collectors get this Long Awaited “Convoy Brothers” Set!
I could have never made it there living Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick)…a LONG WAY from CA!
Mariela, Pablo and Monica thanks for offering to help out…great TEAM SPIRIT.
Best regards to all of you,
Rino
P.S. I cannot wait to get them and, most importantly, see my son’s face light up when he sees “THE” set!
Rino …..thanks. Your box was one in those photos and is ready to go unless you want to cancel ….giggle
Oh cool…just noticed the update that these were indeed $100 even with the tax built in to the price! 🙂
Another huge thank you for helping us fellow collectors us out – you guys are the best!!!
Kevin Fleming gets my nomination as Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year”!
I second that!!!
THANKS KEVIN!! And thanks to Josie, Pablo, Mariela & anyone else who may have helped make this group buy possible!!
Lets just hope there will be enough to go around for everybody to enjoy!!

Oh man, I closed my eyes, lol!!
Thanks Kevin and all those who helped out with this fantastic event to support all of us collectors. It is hugely appreciated. 🙂
some shipping confirmations from USPS for International orders are now going out. You should be getting emails about your boxes by now.
It’s Miller Time,
Legit thanks for all you do!!!
No invoice= no set yet?
Simply asking 🙂 no idea where we stand on lists 🙂
it means I have not got to your order yet or not bought it yet.
I do have more to buy
Who wants a sneak peek of boxes shipping out?
We are in line again… we got here at 420. Some people were here since last night at 10:30 in a line three blocks away. I nailed my knee on the cargo extension twice last night. I hope.it goes away.
A huge thank you to Kevin and Josie and everyone who helped make this happen! There’s no way I would have been able to get my convoy brothers or ridemakerz without you! You guys are amazing and so appreciated for going out of your way to provide this service to us collectors! Thank you x100! -Ryan

Thanks Kevin and all those who helped out. Appreciate the effort that everyone makes to help me here in Australia,
A toast to all of you at D23 who are shopping for us. Thank you so very much!
First off, HUGE THANKS to Kevin and Josie for making all this possible both at SDCC and again now at D23. Thanks for giving up at least half of your hotel rooms to make it into a shipping center for us that cannot attend. Thank you for your time before, during and after each event. I personally think each of us owe you a foot massage for standing in all those lines and for carting all of our stuff around.
Big thanks to Mariela, Pablo and Monica for their selfless acts of kindness in helping Kevin and Josie in their efforts to help us get our stuff in those long lines.
I hope you all had a little time to enjoy the exihibits amidst all the lines.
half? I wish I had half a motel room

A few, …again thanks hun, I appreciate the help….
my burgers are as cold as the beer…
If anyone wants a Small Fry, I FINALLY got paypal to set me up with a BUY IT NOW button. PLUS SHIPPING
For those on My Buyers List:
I had all 4 credit cards locked up…because the teller didn’t put in the correct dates I was going to be gone, and Paypal debit cards… Well do I need to say more? I could have got more if it were not for Paypal dropping the ball. I did call them 4 times, 3 weeks out, 2 weeks out, 10 days out, and then on the 8th….
I do say thank you for those that sent checks.. man o man that cash helped in the line…Right Mariela?
Time to go eat…
Totally 🙂
I think I spy some Jim Bean in the background.. haha
“”Product placement “”
Mariela, what would they really do as a variant anyway…..They only drink Dinoco!

Hey Guys, thank you so so so much, over here in the UK, we can’t get things like this over here, if wasn’t for people like you, so a big salute goes your way from my side of the pond!……nice one!
Thank you so very much to everyone! And an extra big thank you to Kevin for your efforts with coordinating & helping us all. Your updates & efforts have definitely been appreciated as I am sure at times it has been stressful & time consuming. You guys are all amazing!!
Thanks!
Is there a limit to how many each person can buy?
there was no limits at first, then 6 per person, then 8, then 6. Alot of dealers got several cases right off the bat. But that is life
Hopefully they have the same number of sets available each day
nope, they sold out at 245 today and probably earlier tomorrow
HK17 is you Kevin?
nope…… I do not have a Sorcerer ticket
First off, nice pic!
Second, I’m guessing there is no limit to the number of sets you can buy. Would that be a correct assumption?
Either way, I’m very excited to pick up these guys.
Ooh, I’d love one of those Mattel outer boxes!
Yea I went over the tax thing with my Buyers List for the Convoy sets.
Any way you can pick up a Convoy Bro for me?
Hey Met, can you pick me up a Buzz Small Fry?
(MET: Sorry, won’t make it out there this year).
Ah…thought you took those photos. Nobody got back to me so I ended up buying off someone through eBay. Should get here on Monday. I moved on from Cars at the end of 2011. I still pick up a car or two every now and then. Lately my focus has been Toy Story. I have pretty much every major and minor toy from the series.
