I think it's a fair trade if you want Gothel. She is a great doll, her hair is amazing in person! I think she's a bit more detailed than coronation Elsa.
 
Whoa, what the heck happened? Mother Gothel was selling for about $350-$450 on eBay just about two weeks ago and now all the listings are around $800 to up to $1500?!! The person who sold me my Rapunzel doll offered to sell me her Mother Gothel, but I just didn't have the funds, thinking I'll get her sometime later. Now I'm wondering if I've made a terrible mistake. Yikes! It seems as if sellers are trying to push ALL the dolls up to the $1000 mark now. :ugh: Of course, I haven't been around the doll-collecting block long enough to know ... maybe this is normal and the prices will go down again?

I'm having the same issue with Merida, I was waiting for a good price when she was around the £100 mark ($170) but now I can't find her for less than £140 ($235) :( I really hope the prices settle back down again over the summer!

I just added Merida to my collection last week. I got her at $162 in an auction, which I was worried was too much at first because everyone was saying she normally goes for about $130-150. But the seller was very helpful and answered my questions and seemed honest so I didn't mind spending a bit more for that security. Now I'm very glad I got her because most of the postings for her now are over the $200 mark -- although I did just see one going for sale at $150. Keep looking! :) I hope you find her at a good price!

I just saw Merida for about 150US $ on ebay as well (new buy it now?)

Anyway, I wanted to ask in terms of liking on the upcoming Couple dolls: Which doll couple might be sold out fastest? Because I'm debating between buying Aurora or Cinderella (will probably decide when the first picture shows up) – on which doll will I have a better chance? I have no idea about what Disney princesses are most liked/not liked among collectors, so I don't want to try to buy the most sought-after doll if I have no chance from the beginning. Thank you everyone :)
And I finally got my Anna Snow Gear, she's SO beautiful!!! She's my first LE and I coudn't even imagine the beauty of her from internet pictures. I just sit in front of her every day and admire her and have to touch her clothes and hair. I'm debating on deboxing her, but I'm scared that this will devalue her very much :(
 
Does anyone know what is a fair trade to trade blonde Rapunzel? I have blonde Rapunzel and someone offered me wedding Rapunzel and another doll, so what other doll and wedding Rapunzel is worth blonde Rapunzel?

To be honest...
Either Snow White or the Alice in wonderland ones.

Blonde rapunzel is up there with the best dolls, I wouldn't trade trade her unless it's the other 3.

That's just my opinion :)
 
I still don't think she's worth a Snow and definitely not an Alice... Both are worth a lot more- I think Rapunzel is worth around $600-700, Snow is $1000ish and Alice is getting to be over $2000... Yikes! I think Tiana, Belle or maybe March Anna could be added to that trade :) good luck!

Considering Rapunzel goes for around 550-750 USD and wedding Rapunzel is around 150-200 USD and Belle is around 450-550 USD, I would consider it fair. The thing with trades are that the two people who are trading decides what's fair. Some might value their Belle really high, where's others really want Rapunzel and see it as a good deal.
 
I am pretty sure I CAN'T wait to see what the LE Aurora doll is going to look like. I hope we will get to see pictures soon! Probably not though. Just wishful thinking :)

I'd say no, Belle is rare, but she is no where near as lovely or rare as purple Rapunzel. Also, Belle's prices fluctuates, p. Rapunzel's only goes up. If you think you will ever want her later keep her, and just purchase W. Rapunzel and Belle. I promise you, you'll regret it if you trade her. I had both Belle and p. Rapunzel, and I literally sold Belle b/c I didn't think they could be displayed together, Rapunzel is that much better!
 
I have to agree, I think Belle is the least well executed doll in the series. Value wise at the moment that trade would be okay I guess, but purple Rapunzel is stunning... Once you have her keep her lol! :) Tiana is much lovelier and one of the best dolls if you're sure you want to trade, but like ladyroselie said I think Rapunzel will just go up and up

I think I will keep her, I like belle as a character but she is my least favourite of the line which is a shame:/ Tiana is a lovely doll but as a character she is my least favourite.I still would like the Belle because I like the character but based on what you guys have said I will keep Rapunzel as she is beautiful. I want to buy Snow White but can't bring myself to buy her as I would rather have a holiday than her lol.
 
woah, this is crazy..i leave the forum for a few weeks..i feel like i missed EVERYTHING haha!

I personally don't care for Mother Gothel but I'm helping my sister finish her rapunzel/mother gothel doll set...however when we were looking for LE mother gothel..the prices are CRAZY! haha did I completely miss something? Should I tell her, we're back on the waiting game?

Thanks for any help

Mg has been at $350 for a long time and she got hit by the Frozen craze, I suspect she will die down though. But take it with a grain of salt, because LE are tricky to predict.
 
I agree that they did poorly on creating Belle's doll - which is why she's been on the bottom of my want list (where's Rapunzel and Tiana were my most wanted).
I mostly dislike Belle's long hair - I don't get why they keep making her hair that long on dolls, when she's never had that kind of length in the movie.
But seems like she's pictured with longer and longer hair recently... :rolleyes:
Anyway... her doll doesn't look like her at all.
I would of course like to buy her doll if I found her at a good price - especially since she and Snow White are the last princesses missing from my collection, but at her current price... I'll pass.

Push...no one?
 
I think it's too early to know who will sell the fastest, it will likely depend a lot on the outfits, as I don't think anyone is a huge standout. It could be aurora because the movie is being re-released, it could be pocohantas or mulan because there is not a lot of merchandise for them. I think you should just try to get the doll you want the most, if you are up at midnight to order online, there should be no issue for you getting any couple that you would like. Plus you have 2 chances for each, you can try in-store, and if that doesn't work, at midnight that night you can try online.

This conversation should be moved to the Designer Dolls thread, not the 17" doll thread :)

I agree with Mali these characters coming up are not the most popular of the princesses, especially among adult collectors so I think it will just depend on the way they look. Personally I do not believe his set will sell out fast due to their nature. Even if they were to sell out fast that would be by scalpers so they would flood the secondary market so you should be able to get them for close to retail on places like eBay, Amazon and Craigslist etc.

Also all this talk about the value of dolls should be done on a new/separate thread instead of these ones as I know talking about that sort of stuff can upset other members or at least result in posts being ignored due to their irrelevance to the topic.
