Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Barry Diesel RV On Sale Today (Hello International Orders!)
Barry Diesel RV is on sale starting today (right now LIVE) at MattyCollector.com.
Shipping is reasonable via UPS Ground in the US – it will obviously vary from where you’re at but there seems to be no huge surcharge, I’m going to guess they are shipping from the CA warehouses since shipping was not very high (and I’m in CA).
It seems they are accepting international orders – there is nothing indicating otherwise – no warning and all the countries seem to be available in the pullback.
Of course, a bunch of other stuff is on sale also so you might get the REFRESH PAGE – don’t worry – matty seems to have learned their lesson from a dozen major glitches so it works fairly smoothly – geneally you do not have to wait more than 2-3 for a “refresh” page to go “live.” as suggested, DO NOT manually refresh as you’ll be placed BACK in the line AGAIN. Just wait it out – a few minutes should be all it takes …
I doubt that Barry Diesel will sell out today but don’t take too much to decide. Matty has a habit of dropping items when they feel like it so while you might not have to decide today, if you’re going to pull the trigger, might as well do it soon than be sorry later.
Have fun.
Just curious – was everyone in the US charged tax or just CA, WI & TX? (where Mattel has stores – physical presence).
(Let us know if you placed an international order successfully).

Anybody have good news on their Barry shipment? UPS shows mine has arrived at their facility in NV. People out west should be getting theirs soon.
Got my shipping confirmation at 2:30 this morning.
Wow thanks for the reminder grabbed two for now. 🙂
Shipping confirmation 4/16 at 2:29 am est…
I have just bought 10, no problem. $61 postage 🙁
I hope it is on a card! Also does anyone know what qty of this car has been made? i can not see it been more than 2000/3000 whitch will make this a very rare car.

I was wondering the exact same thing. I am quite surprise to see Barry is still available… They have maybe more than what he think! MET do you have an answer for us?
(MET: No idea how many they made … but Matty will drop it like a hot potato in a few weeks so get your order in).
Oh I did…. I ordered two that morning… Cannot wait to get them… It’s funny how things changed with time. When I start collecting them, I didn’t want to buy any Mater or McQueen variant (I tough that was ridiculous) and now I am not only collecting all variants buy I am willing to pay $25 + shipping for a single RV… WOW! Good job Matell…
Got my shipping confirmation this morning!
No tax here in SC, it was $33.30 shipped. AND ….. I got shipping confirmation already with tracking info. Yeah … It’ll go in A’s Easter basket !
I’m Barry excited about getting my RV!!!!!!
Just ordered mine.. Woo Hoo only $9.95 postage to Australia What a great start to the day 🙂
International order placed in a short time. (3 min)
Shipping to UK is very cheap too; only $9.95
Good luck to everybody…!
Thanks for the heads-up Dude-Met-Dude!
Almost forgot!!!
Got my confirmation within minutes…!!!
Yesh!!!!!!!
Got mine in about 30 minutes, and confirmations shortly after.
They could stop the auto refresh while you enter in new credit card infos and type that stupid two words.
Paid that Cally sales tax too which I think is ridiculous
Taxed in Colorado….
I guess later in the day is better? Took 5 minutes, including the confirmation email. Wish the shipping would be as quick!!
Shipping conf today. Good sign…
Pretty bad day for Matty when 4.5 hours after the sale begins they are only sold out of 1 of their 10 April 15th sale items! It’s no surprise that Barry is still available. After all, Tokyo Mater was up for what felt like a month or so… I wonder how many more would have sold if they were $15/each? Oh well, I’m not going to formally start griping about the price until he arrives. I am thinking he might actually be worth it this time around. Any word on an SDCC Cars item? Isn’t the show in like 3 months? MET?!?!?!?!?!
No tax in WV! Good thing too because I have to ship 2 of these to Canada!
Good for you!
Quick transaction. I went in on this with a few people so after tax and shipping, it was just under $30 each. A bit pricey for one car, but we had to. 🙂
Just saw some Cars 2 diecasts. Glad they’re not lenticulars!
Ordered at 2:04 pm est… got email confirmation by 2:09 est…
No Sales Tax here in NJ
8.70 shipping… not too bad.
got hit with tax in fl. Took me till 12:15 est with the waiting rooms to get my 1 Barry diesel.
ONLY $14.95 FOR SHIPPING ON 10 PLUS TAX TOTAL WITH SHIPPING FOR 10 $288
Firefox here, quick transaction, MD sales tax charged (Boo!). Too much $ for a Car but they have us by the curb feelers!
Very expensive for 1:55 scale car. But you know us collectors MUST HAVE THEM ALL. Atleast the Tokyo Toon Mater Lite up. Maybe this car will have something special too. Cant wait.
Actually I was on my Droid X, not Firefox, on the home wifi.
Thanks for the info! Taxed in TX. wow, $65 for 2. that hurts!
Met, someone grabbed your photo:

Tax free in GA. Wheee-doggie!
Too much tax in Cali, but just finished placing my order them! It took 2 minutes.
Got charged already..that was quick!
Got mine…That price w/shipping and tax was painful.
Hope its worth it.
International order to the UK took 3 mins!
Shipping was very reasonable, only $22 for 4 Barrys!
paid tax in IL
I can’t believe how expensive he was ($35.33 total) but I couldn’t pass him up!!! He’s sooooooo coool!!!
Wow, superfast and no problems at all.
Done in 2 minutes….
🙂
I paid sales tax in New York.
Yep, me too 🙁
Me, three
me FOUR!
Thats what happens when you live in states that are broke. They tax everything 🙁
You are so right! we are all Broke! including states, but it was totally worth it! Awesome car!
Waiting for Albert…. just to match…
International order placed successfully, and everything went VERY smoothly, I might add. No problems at all.
Thanks for the reminder. I had to pay tax to ship to Maryland.
It was probably 15 minutes total by the time I sat through many auto-refreshes before getting in and then 4 or 5 auto-refreshes trying to finish the order. Overall, about the same as any other Matty orders I’ve placed.
Matty works pretty well under pressure! 😉
Well, I had to give up on the school network and laptop … used the phone … and was very quick! Just got my email confirmation so my mind is now settled!! 😀
Was it the guy named Peggy that waited on you? They guy from the CC commercial in the little shack in the middle of nowhere?
I love ‘Peggy’. He’s the best.
Pit Stop Toy Shop has Barry Diesel – pre-sale! on EBAY for $54.98 with $7.80 shipping. 😆
Yikes, for one Barry Diesel? That’s quite a mark up for something currently available at retail. To each his own.
member on tfad here…
Anyone knows how is it going to come?
in box? in case? in bubble?(hope not)
Matty stuff typically (I was going to say always) comes in a white cardboard “mailer box” packed within a typical cardboard shipping box with packing material. I have never had an issue with their stuff arriving damaged. I actually use their white boxes to ship small packages to members all the time. Hats off to them for that!
I think she was asking about the actual product, what kind of package, like the mega sizes or a nice display box, right? 😉
Oops
It says 8 available.
Is that Jake? Wao, that is a lot of money 🙁
International order placed, and in very qick.
About 3 mins of waiting while seeing the “refresh-screen”.
Shipping to Canada – $8.95 for one Barry.
Enthusiastically waiting.
Good luck.
25-30 minutes. Hooray! Firefox was the key to a smooth process I think. Good luck all!
got mine , only took 10 minutes . just got confirmation!!
Darn waiting room! I had to log in again because my session timed out while I was in the waiting room. Must be all those people buying up Lex Luthor and Superman (for the extra hair and hands 🙂 )
It took about 25 minutes for me as well, just got my confirmation email
International order placed in a short time.
Always works fine for me- just a little bit of waiting while seeing
the “refresh-screen”.
Looks like Matty has an international-“power”-line…
Shipping to Germany is very cheap again; only $15,55 for three Barry’s.
Good luck to everybody…!
one and done, took about 15 minutes. I am getting use to sitting in virtual waiting rooms; they have better magazines. the process was relatively painless except for the final cost.
Got Barry x 2 in about 20 min. Already got the confirmation email. Matty can count to 5 backwards very well. 🙂
Yeah took me the exact same time….
you can call in your order too…if you don’t mind speaking to somone overseas 1-877-GOMATTY
Ordered 3 Barry Diesels. $11.75 to ship to WV via USPS Ground. I’ll let you know how they look when we get them!
well that only took 27 minutes!! finally!
27 minutes you’ll never get back…………. 😉
