Free Shipping and a New Fiat

 I'm not one to enable, but have you seen the new Barbie Fiat car?  Today, I am seeing it for the first time.  I received my MattelShop "come over to the dark-side and buy some toys" email this morning.  And it's a good one!  Free ship, you pick the day, any time between now and January 2013!  Now this is a promotion I can get excited about.  So of course I pushed the SHOP NOW button, just to see what I might buy with my free ship.


This is Barbie and her FIAT.  Normally, $26.99, it's now on sale for $18.99 (and free ship).  I like her outfit, too.  Cuffed jeans that will fit the bigger bodies, a cute shirt that will look great with black or white, a white belt that I hope is not attached to the jeans (probably pushing my luck with this request), and boots I can work with. 

I'm always down with car doors that open.

The hot pink on the inside isn't so bad.  It's when they put the pink on the outside that's a problem.  Look at the cute little Barbie details on the seats.


I sure hope I don't forget to use this.  Chances are they will remind me.

I don't really like this car, but I wanted to show it because it is a remote control Barbie car.

The golf cart is still on my list.  I just think it will be a long time before we see another golf cart.

It pairs well with the upcoming golf accessory pack.  Yeah, I know it's pink, but the golf clubs are nicely done.

  1. I have that Fiat! After seeing J.Lo videoclip "PAPI" my dolls claimed their right to ahve the same J.Lo's car. It's really cute and amanzigly detailed, the only things I dislike are the non moveable capote and the non articulated Barbie. It would be nice to see an italian car in Morris Town :)

    1. Sergio - Thanks for the review. I always wanted a real Fiat when I was younger. It would be nice to live out that dream in my doll world. I knew the doll would not be staying, so I focused on her outfit and the car. I didn't see that JLO video. I will go take a quick peek now.

    2. Sergio - I just watched the video. You are right! I love her little car in the video. Now I'm thinking Racquel's and Faith's mom, Lauren, would look good in that care. She has a J.Lo. look to her. Of course she would have to share it with some of the other ladies.

    3. I love that video! How many JLo's videos is a fantastic short film full of special effects and stunning choreography, not to say that I appreciate that she has chosen common-looking dancers and not the usual impossible hunks! Oh and it's pretty amusing that the videoclip is a big commercial: J.Lo's mini jumpsuit and the hobo handbag are from the collection she designed for Kohl, and the shoes are Gucci!! From this video clip Fiat drew an advertisement for their car, very broadcast by the TV here in Italy

    1. Mustiwait - You are the queen of nice cars, and you do a good job of showing them. I have plenty, but they rarely get seen.

  3. I am digging that Fiat. I saw Walmart has the golf cart on rollback right now. You save like 4 bucks. But now you got me thinking. I forgot about that Barbie golf club set coming out....Mmmmm looks like I need to make a list ^_^

    1. Miranda - Yes the normal Walmart price for the golf cart and the jetski are $22.97. They were never $26.99 there. Of course I noticed this after I bought my jetski. It's about time for them to do some lower pricing after all the over pricing they've been doing lately. Golf cart and golf accessories are on my list.

    2. I know what you mean...Walmart has been kinda pricey lately. I bought the mini cooper when it first came out at Target. then the following week it went on price cut. I went back with my receipt to try and get the difference since it was less than 14 days and they said that i could only get that when it's on sale not price cut...so frustrating sometimes :)

  4. Hello from Spain: I have the same Fiat two years ago ... It's very nice. You are shopping very well. The Barbie with the Fiat has too much makeup on her face but her clothes are very chic. I am surprised that USA is new this car. I like very much set about golf... keep in touch

    1. Marta - For whatever reason that Fiat is just recently available here. I would like to add it, not that I have any more space for vehicles.

  5. Does the Fiat have a cover for the hood of the car or is that just the design? Its very cute and I love the golf cart!

    1. A-Lise - There's no cover for the top of the car. In the video, the one J.LO is driving is open, too. I'm sure hers comes with a cover, though.

  6. Like it - the Fiat car. I have seen the golf cart in Philly. It's okay, but this bigger care, thumbs up.

    1. D7ana - Isn't it cute? I have talked myself into buying that little Fiat. As for the golf cart, I have big plans for golfing here in Morristown. I have the one really nice golf cart, but two golf carts on the greens look a lot better. Ooooh weee, I can't wait. I wish I could sneak onto a real golf course. Hmmmm....

  7. That Fiat is very cute. I'll have to look for it here (and compare the price with your price). Cars are one thing Mattel do seem to release regularly here -I've seen the remote control one and it's very pink.

    1. Carrickters - We get cars frequently here, too, but they aren't usually as cute as this one and the mini coupe. They are more like the gawdy pink one.

  8. That Fiat is actually rather nice, but I'm going to stick with the Mini Cooper being my one an only vehicle... unless something comes along that blows it out the water, of course.

    1. Muff - I admire your ability to stay focused. I need to start showing my cars more. No use having them, if the dolls aren't going to drive them.

  9. I've got the fiat and I just love it! But I cannot say the same about the doll, she's got too much make up on her, she reminded me of Priscilla, queen of the desert...

    1. Rossetti - That's so funny! You are the second person who commented about her makeup. I never use these dolls that come in the sets, so I didn't even look at her face. I will have to take a look now. LOL.
