Disney Classic 12" Dolls (Canadian Collectors Please!)
I was wondering if some of my fellow Canucks could give some info about the Classics 12" dolls available at the Disney Stores and possibly help me out with purchasing them. I am desperately in search of the Belle, Snow White, and Tiana/or Jasmine Classic dolls for a project. On the official web site the dolls are about $15 US or 2 or more for $10 each, and with the $25 shipping and currency conversion, that would work out to about $65 in Canadian currency (not including any importing fees I may get charged). I find that to be a little on the high side for what I'm willing to spend. Where I live, the nearest US Disney store is about 2 hours away and the nearest Canadian store is about 3 hours away, plus in the middle of winter the roads aren't the greatest and I prefer to stay off the highways. Is anybody familiar with the Disney store pricing that they know the price of the Classic dolls both individually and if there's a promotion where it's cheaper to buy 2 or more? I am also wondering if the dolls are sold at any other stores that are more frequently found in mid-sized cities, such as Toysrus or Target (not the Mattel versions though). I haven't been able to find any, but thought I'd ask just in case.
The second part of my question is, if the prices are worth it, would somebody Canadian who frequents the store be able to pick up some of the dolls, remove them from the packaging and send them all in one box to me via Canada Post? Heck, I think even someone in the US just sending through USPS would save me time and money. I would be happy to provide payment for everything, as well as provide something in return- extra for the errand or artwork?
Also thank you for everybody who took the time to read through and provide some answers. I know I'm being picky, but I am so desperate for the dolls and would really like to find the best option that would get me the dolls without paying a bunch of extra fees for international shipping and importing. I'm also always willing to help fellow collectors and Disney fans out, not really sure how haha, but if you think I can do something for you, just send me a PM and I'll try my best.
Thanks for the help! :wavey:
