davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2025

[Alliecat]

I'm pretty sure I'm done buying stuff for a while now.

Yeh, OK…
True, if you find an item near the end of an auction, you can’t really wait long… I would still wait till the end and see whether I felt like sniping. Otherwise, I have found that if you bookmark stuff and wait, sellers will often send offers. Often not much – 5%, whee – but still.
I have missed out on the odd thing that I waited too long for. I am particularly pleased with myself for pulling the trigger on a few things before it was too late. Like, whoa, you made a decision 

The only thing I remember from statistics class is how to calculate your odds of winning lotto 6–49. Which is why I don’t burn money on lottery tickets. I have to agree with Mr. Bison about having something to show for the money you spent

I love her shoes and socks.  Where did you get shoes that have space for socks?

I searched for "1/6 sneakers" on eBay.

These ones:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/134040975974

I heat up the plastic shoes in a mug of hot water and loosen them up using a pencil stuck inside.

Yes, I have received some pretty good offers from sellers when I add items to a watch list. I forget now what it was, but a few months ago a seller dropped the price by 60%!

The odds of winning are nonsensically staggering, and there are a lot more than 49 numbers now. It's match 5 out of seventy-some, I think, and then the "Power Ball" that boosts the win in to the mega-millions (or billions) is selected from a separate pool of seventy-something.

I know nothing about the character other than what was in that link that I linked in a previous post. I bought him for the hat.

Monster High Ghoul Mobile

.

I spotted this nifty Monster High Ghoul Mobile toy car at Walmart today. It reminds me of a cross between the old Draculaura's Roadster and the Disney Princess Tiana's town car, with a hint of classic Batmobile.

I kinda wanted it... but not forty bucks worth of want.

UPDATE: I just learned, via eBay, that there is a miniature Hot Wheels version of the Ghoul Mobile. Actually, there are at least four different Hot Wheels versions of the Ghoul Mobile! It's a good thing I've tapered off on collecting Monster High!

I am often tempted to get the crew more cars. I mean, the minis already have two and two scooters. They're ready for their own Grand Tour episode if PTFCo ever makes another movie. But the 1/6 crew doesn't have a car. They are pretty darn ex$pensive though, and I often wonder whether big Pullip heads would work in a Barbie-sized car.
