Well I broke down and got Apple White (find, no crown) and Ashlynn (new, still boxed).
I did not know till I got Apple that she has blood shot eyes. I really only wanted her head but I guess I will keep all of her even though she has been de-throwned having being careless and losing her crown (not part of the deal/sale). She seems sturdier than MH dolls and is not as skinny as them. I thought of using her body on my Byul since she is a bit floppy.
I went to the Mattel site and there were quite a few marked down and free shipping over a certain amount.
Then I went to ToysRUs and found Ashlynn for $2. more than on the Mattel site. I asked at ToysRUs if they did price match at the Mattel site and they said NO and brought up a list of no price match companies which basically is all companies they carry since the list was extremely long.
Now onto the big shocking surprise . . .
Several days ago, I went to WM and there were lots of EAH dolls, I was looking and thinking about getting one, a friend for Apple. No Ashlynn though but they had sets like Holly and Poppy O'Hair (I like Holly) priced around $35.. Two days later I was back there and they had completely re-arranged the aisles so the EAH were moved over two aisles. I looked again and marveled at them and shuffled through the boxes but making them neat, to see if I missed anything (like someone hiding one for a later purchase). I walked away for about 10-15 minutes remembering to pick up something else before I forgot. I came back and there were NO DOLLS on the shelf!!!! Every single one was gone, the shelf empty, and that was a few dozen (3-4)! There was no one around (not even a customer) and no WM staff to ask about this.
Guess Swiper from Dora the E
lorer was there.
So that is when I decided to go to ToysRUs clear across town and a 15 minute ride.
I might go check Target and see what they have which most of the time, they are wiped out. Either they are selling fast or they just don't get enough frequent deliveries.
Christmas stock is arriving in the stores already.
TrU staff said they were getting a big shipment in and the store should be really stocked within three weeks.
