March 28 — The Shops at Park Lane, Dallas

Fans at both events will have the chance to buy an assortment of exclusive merch, according to a release.

The roadshow has a sporty theme inspired by the doll’s athletic accomplishments, which include an Olympic gold medal in skiing and record-setting NASCAR runs.

Barbie Truck Tour visitors can score the following limited-edition drops:

Apparel: T-shirts, track jackets, half-zip sweaters
Accessories: Necklaces, wristlets, baseball hats, bag charms, crossbody duffles

Sadly, no actual dolls will be available for purchase, nor will fans be able to add to Barbie’s legendary wardrobe. Still, the duffle keychain is small enough for her to carry an appropriately sized jai alai set.

For its first DFW appearance, the Barbie truck will be parked at The Shops at Willow Bend (at the lawn near The District), 6121 W. Park Blvd., Plano from 10 am-7 pm March 21.

On its second North Texas stop, the truck will roll up to The Shops at Park Lane (near the lawn between Chipotle & Starbucks), 8080 Park Ln., from 10 am-7 pm March 28. Maybe Barbie will snag some new shelving for the dream house at the brand new IKEA store opening at the center.

Organizers say shoppers should arrive early to ensure the best selection. Also note that merchandise will be available for credit card purchase only.
