Disney Princess Designer Collection DOLLS --- NOW WITH PICTURES PAGE 3! ---
I looked up the previously released Snow White doll on ebay, because she's just so pretty(!), and well...she's going for over a grand. :/
Yes she is sold out on DS.com, but I got her today .Cinderella is now showing sold out on DS.com
Is that BIN or completed? If it's not completed, I wouldn't believe it...someone on the Disney Store Facebook was talking about the older Snow White LE doll, and said that the BINs are *highly* inflated. I think they said they were really only going for a couple hundred, at the most.
Yes, we do ship to other states . If anyone wants a Belle or Cinderella , PM me and I will give you our store's number .I went to the Florida mall in Orlando last Friday just planning on seeing what non-doll merchandise they had left for this collection (only had one Snow White journal that was missing it's pen and one Pocahontas mug!) and ended up getting an Ariel doll for my sister's birthday. She is definitely the prettiest of the collection (in my opinion) and I now regret not getting one for myself as well. I really underestimated this collection...I thought the edition sizes were so high they would not be as sought after...but I was definitely wrong!
I went back to the Disney Store today and they were out of Ariels but still had a few Cinderellas and Belle so I got one of each. The dolls are definitely prettier in person and I might get the Snow White and Rapunzel as well. I keep telling myself I don't collect dolls but I am strangely obsessed with these LOL.
Also...does anyone know if the Disney Stores will ship things to you? For instance...if I happened to call a store in a different state and they still had an Ariel doll would they ship it to me? Has anyone done this before and how much does it cost?
OR if anyone happened to pick up an extra Ariel and would like to trade it for a Cinderella or Belle (or sell me the Ariel) let me know!
Is anybody else absolutely so blown away at the prices that these dolls are selling for on ebay?! Belle has already reached $300, and Ariel is pushing $400. :eek2: And most of us thought there would be no value in them due to the high edition sizes!
Belle is now Sold Out online...that was fast!

This makes me wonder about Mulan. She is LE 4000 I believe? Half the size of the previously released dolls. But she is not a very popular princess. Will she sell out quickly too and be as popular?
I'm almost scared to see what Rapunzel will be going for after she's released...

1.) It creates a very nasty competitive atmosphere for anyone who actually only wants to obtain the dolls for their own collections (who was unable to buy them at retail price direct from Disney), because the people who are looking to only turn a profit will be buying them en masse, reducing opportunities for the true collectors to buy the dolls at their original retail price. This point bothers me a lot, because I think that people who really want to appreciate owning an item should not be subject to paying hundreds of dollars more for it, just because the item sold out before they could get one.

I have to say I'm a little surprised that this many people are turning to eBay this quickly for edition sizes this big, though...that's weird.

I was told that each store gets 24-26 dolls, not sure if it is true. If re-sellers are purchasing them by doubles, they would be gone within minutes. One CM in my local store said Monday morning store openings are crazy.
Once it is sold out on-line, where else can people go other than Ebay?? And now, every body got the idea and jumped on that train. Moreover, people who buy in doubles in stores would also be buying on-line I assume.
I have seen a guy on Ebay sell at least 10 Mother Gothel dolls before. He recently sold Snow White for $685 auction style. It is so lucrative.
I am guessing that the doll market is much bigger than the pin market. Dolls are a bit more tangible maybe?
I am wondering if there are still yet to be more of the 1st 3 dolls to be delivered to stores as when I talked to a couple of store managers they said that they got more Cinderella shipments in late last week. I could see at least the stores in larger cities perhaps getting more, it would explain why there is such a demand for Ariel if not all 8,000 have been sold by Disney yet. But who knows?
Just now, I got done calling all stores in TX looking for Belle - does anyone have an extra Belle by any chance?
Several stores told me that they got a shipment of Cindi last week (maybe because she sold slower on-line) but this morning they also got a notice saying that there won't be any more Belle or Ariel shipments. My local store got only 3 Belle's this morning and they were snatched within mins too. I think sometimes along with the new release dolls, they get few of the older ones as well.
One store in Houston told me this: A woman comes and buys 2 dolls at opening. She goes back and puts them in her car, waits like 10 mins so there are more CMs working at the register. Then she comes back to get 2 more. The CMs all knew that, but nobody called her out.
