Disneyfreakingprincess, I'm sorry if you feel unwelcome. I don't think most people here are purposely trying to make anyone feel unwelcome, at least I know I'm not. But I agree with Quasimodo and the others, I noticed a lot of new people that joined the forum right before these recent doll releases and quite a few who kept repeatedly demanding links or items numbers and not really contributing anything at all to the conversation. I'm sorry, but not only does that scream "scalper" to me, it is also kind of rude. I'm not saying you did this, but this is why a lot of people won't respond to these types of questions asking for links and such.
Also, everyone keeps complaining about others having inside knowledge -- I for one don't know anyone on the "inside," and when I started collecting I couldn't figure out how people got links --- no one ever told me either. I relied on the link fairies. It's only been after over a year of collecting that I have a better idea of how it works now. I try to get all of my dolls in store now anyway but, even for that, I get up usually around 4 or 5am in the morning to get in line and wait for several hours outside, sometimes in freezing weather, to make sure I get my doll. I've done a lot of research on these dolls, and keep up with releases and what's going on. I've put in the work, so to speak, and I'm sure a lot of others here have to. So when people come on here only at release time and start asking others to give them information and links, it is extremely off-putting. Again, this is not directed at you Disneyfreakingprincess, but to this issue in general.
And just FYI to people -- there is not going to be a link to a doll that is still a week away from being released. I saw so many people asking for links here and on Facebook up to two weeks before the release dates. The link has to be "live" and that's not going to happen until the scheduled release time. It is completely pointless to be asking for links in advance.
