DOLLS 2024 Limited Edition Dolls


In a closet, unfortunately. But at least most are out of their shipper boxes!
 

What do you have to provide to get the cash back? Is it like Rakuten?

Yes, like Rakuten, Retailmenot, etc. They have an app, so you can click through there, or on their website, or thru an email. You just have to click thru and then make purchase during that session. And, while they will send you an offer “hey, you looked at this storybook ornament, get 30% cash back…” you don’t have to buy that specific thing as it’s really offering you cash back on anything on website up to a certain amount (usually says up to $150 cash back or something around that). Also…if you have the browser extension, you can usually see on their website checkout page if you click the capitaloneshopong icon while on that page….you should see “you are getting 30% off this purchase” and if it says something else like a lesser %, close the page and start over. They do offer so many different % at the same time, you might make a mistake. I also screen shot that final page “just in case”
 
Hi, im Jazz from Germany and im new in this forum. I started collecting Disney dolls in 2021, Cruella was my first one

Like most people here I desperately wanted the new Ariel doll…and it was an absolute shitshow today (sorry, there isn’t a better word for this). Worst release ever.
On the front page was a picture of Ariel, but it only linked to the „limited edition“-section. At release time she didn’t show up there…you could only find her via the search in the pop-up, not even after pressing enter. Obviously most people didn’t realize this until it was too late…happy bots/ scalpers, sad collectors.

I really hope, that the US release will be better. But if not, at least you are prepared
 

Europe usually only gets 500-1000 of the dolls so I think it might be better.
 
Welcome! I'm sorry your experience was so bad, and I hope you may have another way to get her. I know they release in Japan and other places than the US at different times, but I have no idea what the shipping policies are like. I have been collecting since 2014 and it used to be like that every release. I'm hoping the US release isn't too bad, but she is very popular. Thank you for the warning.

I think so. It’s normal, that the dolls are sold out in minutes/ seconds. We are used to it.
The problem this time was that you could only find the doll if you searched for „Ariel“ („limited“, „doll“ or anything else didn’t work either), not via the link that Disney themselves linked. We all were at the wrong place. That never happened before.
 
No luck for me on Ariel. I was over 5k in queue. It stinks they make you wait to find out it sold out. I'm hoping she pops up again but not counting in it.
She's in stock right now at 12:35PM EST. I got Masquerade Alice by obsessively 'adding to cart' even though I kept getting the sold out pop up. Then suddenly, she went to my cart and I checked out. I'm just gonna guess it has to do with credit card declines/ issues, and catching stuff falling back into stock - OR Disney releasing incrementally....but I think it's the first.
**5 min later update** she says sold out...but I was able to get to the check out screen with her. I was not going for her, just got home and wanted to see if she was a fast sell. Strange that Masquerade Ariel stayed in stock for so long - I LOVE her. Maybe more collect the 17" ones.

I tried but it kept saying low stock and then sold out. Eventually, I gave up because I had a lot of work to get done. I don't like the queue system at all. This was my first time trying it.
 
Thank you all for a wonderful year. I'm glad I finally got to join (and post in!) this forum and share my love of my Frozen dolls, since no one in my real life understands my obsession. And although I only try to collect Elsa, I love many of the princesses and feel happy reading everyone else's excitement too (not just this thread, but what remains of previous years' threads)
