Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Barry Diesel RV – Priced by OPEC

I guess Barry Diesel RV is sipping high grade low sulfer sweet crude oil by the barrel …

Barry Diesel will be released on April 15, 2011 … At MattyCollector.com

Be here on Friday, April 15th at 9 a.m. (PST) …

No, I do not know if Matty will ship internationally on these. Some items mattel has international rights, other they do not so you can send an email to ask but we might not know until day of event-sale.

Purchasing limit of 10.

Matty will also be open to sell Superman, DC & Masters of the Universe at the exact same time so fingers crossed – it may not go all that smoothly πŸ™‚ … Here’s the Matty page with a list of everything up for sale at that time and date.

BTW, that’s 9 AM Pacific, 10 Mountain, 11 Central and 12 noon Eastern.

Note for US peeps – Tax day is 4.18.2011 this year so no worries. πŸ™‚

    Barry Diesel – Last Call:

    If anyone international wants β€œBarry Diesel” let me know I plan on being here ordering some for others, which I have started a list.

    Paypal fees plus shipping will apply. I will be sending out invoices this week as as others want them.

    Prepay, please as I will NOT order any extras.

    I plan on taking the day off for this ordering so I will need to know by April 13th at Midnite mountain time.

    If you want more RV’s made, buy it. This is probably a test to see how well they’ll sell. If not many buy this, and with Cars 2 coming, this slims our chances of seeing more RV’s. Will Clayton Gentlebreeze come out soon as well? The proto was nicely detailed and I voted him 4 on the survey.

    SO is this really the only release of it? Or will it pop up on some shelf somewhere?

  • NC says:

    25 bucks is way too much.

  • Mariela says:

    1.55 scale ==> $25.00??? ouchy..

  • Man-I-Fold says:

    Barry Diesel – yay! But, it’s like Mattel has decided to get in on the secondary market prices. Good for them, bad for my wallet. It’s tough, but I’ll definitely be getting 1 so long as the ordering system lets me.

  • LUCA says:

    Matty. Com has shipped to me ( italy) in the past… Why NOT this time?

  • Alex says:

    Do you need to be a mattycollector member or anyone could get one?

  • CaptainChunk says:

    Outrageously overpriced, which is nothing new from Matty. Despite my excitement to see this finally being produced, I’ll be passing on it at that price.

  • Jack says:

    Funny thing OPEC really does not have anything to do with oil prices. It’s a good cover though. Got to hand it to the real oil barons. The people who brought together some sheiks who were happy to play ball and tell them ok your OPEC now ok. Just go with it. It’s been working ever since.
    Can’t say they haven’t warned us though. Truth is really stranger than fiction.

    (MET: Yea, I know the answer is crazy fund speculators but it’s not nearly as catchy as OPEC … remember, we live in a shell here, a giant clam if you will … :-0 ).

    See some pics from that collection and also look at the 13 graphics I found on the web…

    http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=266027&id=567707101&l=06e9514fa9

    That will be cool if these CARS were available at 1:55 I would be one of the first customer πŸ™‚

    • Jack says:

      Hey Quercy. Just a small request. Is it possible you use another type link for sharing pictures?
      There are some that others can see them without having to sign up. I know some members including myself dont use Facebook.
      I know many people like it but I care for the social network sites for personal reasons. Although there are plenty enough reasons for anyone to at least consider when using these sites. I am Sure happy back in the day my personal photos and shenanigans weren’t posted on the web for all to see. that’s for sure. πŸ™‚

      • quercy says:

        This is the fastest way I have found so far to load several pics in one click. Can you suggest me a easy one and I will be glad to do. Thanks, Carl

        • NascarFan says:

          Flickr and photobucket both have bulk uploading

          • Jack says:

            Thanks Kevin. Funny thing is I was thinking as I was writing we need Kevin right about now for picture information and there you are like Johhny on the spot. I hope you have been well.

            • NascarFan says:

              I don’t facebook for the simple reasons, it will some other “social network fad” next month and then another and then another.

              I wont and don’t share my current “life” with my past. My past is past for a reason and it should stay there. I have the friends from years ago and they have my contact info and thats fine.

              I don’t need old friends who couldn’t stay current friends and thats where they stay, in the past including ex wives and ex gf’s. I could care less who “finds me” or who wants to “friend me or find me”

              I have better things to do than deal with “drama” on a social networking website because on friend is “higher” than the other.

              I grew up.

              I got a life past being a teenager

              • quercy says:

                For your information guys you do not need to have any facebook account to see the pics from the link I post. This is a public link to that unique folder. However when I will have some free time I may open an account on flickr and learn how this works…

  • Wraukn says:

    Ugh, $25. This is tough.

  • Dunroamin says:

    I have all the Matty stuff. Multiples of some. I will pass on the RC talking lightning thing unless I see it in person first..
    I don’t think this will sell out right away at this price…The tokyo mater didn’t sell out right away…we’ll see…
    Other than the 1:24th scale cars, it’s the nicest so far…I hope

  • VDC says:

    The active link is gone…is Matty Collector waiting until the last moment to activate the link for Barry.

    It was there..but now it’s gone

  • cac1959 says:

    I’d guessed that the price would be either $19.99 or $24.99… unfortunately, my higher estimate is correct… I’ll still buy 2; if I pass on this now, I’ll regret it, and end up spending more money for it on eBay at a later time…

    Thanks for the update…

    • Lorri says:

      yeah but that was Indykjt’s for Nathan’s playroom. So it was for charity. I know I bid way more than I would have otherwise on another one of his auctions. Someone else still beat me! Im glad it sold that high!

  • Ace Diamondrunner says:

    Woo-hoo! Can’t wait!

  • NascarFan says:

    If anyone international wants any let me know I plan on being here ordering some for others.

  • Rippers says:

    Crazy price!

  • MWH80 says:

    It’s like Arwyn speaking to the Ringwraiths:

    “If you want him-come and claim him!”

  • collectormom says:

    If I only get 1 I’ll wish I got 2, if I buy 2 I’ll wonder why did I buy 2. I’ll probably still buy 2. At least I’m not interested in the 12″ Superman or Lex Luthor, those are $60 each!

    (MET: But Lex has four different hairpieces – more than most Barbie’s! πŸ™‚ ).

  • jason says:

    Do we know if this will come on a card or are we going to get this loose in a box? Maybe a display like the lightning storm mcqueen came in from Matty?

  • Matt says:

    Funny thing is that people will actually fork out $25.00 for this oversized car, and Mattel will then leave you all sitting pretty without finishing the Cars 1 line. I love this site, I love the cars, but am glad that I got out of this when I saw what Mattel was doing. Good luck for those of you that go forward and start collecting line number 2.

    • I-am-speed says:

      Matt, I think most of us feel that, overall, Mattel did pretty well by us, keeping us in Cars die-cast for over 4 1/2 years after the release of Cars.

      Obviously, after seeing the success of Cars(1) merchandise, they’ll be much more prepared for keeping the pegs filled with Cars 2 items.

      To each his own, but you’re gonna miss out on a great piece of art if you pass on Barry Diesel.

    • Chris says:

      I’m the last person to defend Mattel, but when I started collecting the Cars line I never expected Mattel to “finish” it, if by that you mean release every single car in the movie.

      They’ve made far more cars than I ever thought they would, and I would consider the line “finished” when they release the last car they make. If there are prototypes out there that never make it to release, that’s par for the course. This happens with so many other toy lines, that it would be almost impossible for anyone to collect anything if the criteria were that the line will eventually be 100% complete and finished.

      I say just enjoy collecting what comes out. That’s what I try to do, even though I admit I get very frustrated with Mattel’s distribution practices.

      • Stig McQueen says:

        I figured they were “done” after the first 12, so all the rest are “gravy” as far as I’m concerned. After all, Playing Mantis and Disney never released any more “Herbie Fully Loaded” diecasts after the first run (Stigette still doesn’t have one), and Mattel’s “Speed Racer” movie diecasts sold like coldcakes, so I figured it was a one-time deal between Mattel and Disney to hype up the movie, and that would be it.

  • bobbyjack says:

    $25!!! I was thinking $15 was going to be expensive, but $25! I guess Mattel knows we will be powerless to resist buying it so they have decided to take advantage of that. I wonder how much they are going to charge for shipping? If I get 2 extra, will anyone trade for Brian and Chuck?

  • John in Missouri says:


    Cough cough cough cough cough…

    Like Chris says below — YIKES!!!

  • old hippie says:

    Low sulfer. That’s always a good thing. I’m in for two.

  • Chris says:

    Yikes! Still getting one, but yikes!

    I hope they ship to Canada.
