Which store in Houston? Was it the Galleria store, the Willow Brook store or the Woodlands store (I'm not driving to the Woodlands too far).
I would not mind going there this next Monday just to call her out! I went there last week to get a doll and there where no dolls at all. In fact not much merchandise at all, the store at the Galleria is rather sucky.

I wonder if the stores should start having only one cast member (or the manager) ringing up the dolls on release days at a designated register to avoid this kind of shady behavior? If the stores are receiving only about 14 dolls of the new dolls on release day, it should not be difficult for a cast member to remember the 7-14 people who make doll purchases. Given the limited availability of the dolls, a limit of 2 dolls per buyer per day should be enforced.

By the way, the general consensus is that Mulan is to be released next Monday, but has anyone heard any rumors about the following weeks?

Liana, yesterday I called all stores in TX looking for a Belle doll (trying to help a friend). Actually, Galleria had 3 Belle's but they refused to ship 
So, it must be another one. I think the area code was 281 if this helps at all.
Luckily, and with our dear Judy's help, we were able to secure a Belle for my friend.

My local store got 16 for the LE 8000 dolls and it is one of the busier SoCal stores. There is no way each store could get 24+ dolls, there are like 500 disney stores in the US alone. I've seen posts that stores have gotten as few as 3 dolls. With the lower edition dolls coming, I expect each store will get ratioed down ... so for my store that got 16 for the LE8000, they would get 12 for the LE6000 and 8 for the LE4000.

The CMs in our local store are so sweet, but maybe the young lady I talked to was mis-informed then. She also told me that all have the same edition size (??) She was not aware of any lesser editions. We will find out next Mon when Mulan gets released.

Check Ebay for pre-sales. Sharks would know.
*edited to remove name* said:
Well, sorry, but it is completely unfair for you to make that statement. If I want to buy something for my child to play with or display in her room, then I will. I work very hard (and I mean very hard- outside in the FL heat on my feet the entire 8 hours straight) for my money and I will spend it how I choose. I am also buying an extra to "stow away." She only asked for one of the dolls(Rapunzel) out of the ten and I love to make her happy, so that is what I am going to do.
I do not mean to be rude in any way, shape, or form, but it is unfair for you to judge someone's use of something that they are paying for. I agree that reselling stinks, but it isn't very nice to complain about someone giving something to their child.

I agree with you. No one should be telling others how to spend their hard earned money. I get so upset when people tell me that I shouldn't be buying pins or anything else. My money I will spend it on pins as a reward to myself for working so hard for them. If the child is well behaved and deserves what they are asking for then it is the parent's right to take into consideration and purchase what the child has asked for.

Who are you to say that only adults are allowed to have them? It's just as judgmental as when people say adults shouldn't collect dolls because they're for children. If someone wants to give their child one of these dolls, there's no harm in that. As a child, I had collector edition Barbie dolls. And you know what? They're still in pristine condition, because I was very careful with them and I knew my mom paid a lot for them. Not every child will destroy their doll. A lot of them will love & cherish them. It's just a thing anyway. Things are meant to be enjoyed, in my opinion.
And just because someone stows their doll away doesn't mean they don't appreciate it or enjoy it any less than you do your doll. It just means that they have a different way of appreciating it.
Ah, I am so excited my best friend revealed to me today that she will be buying me Rapunzel for my birthday present!
That's so sweet of them! Congrats!
Congrats Tales!! I'm so happy to hear that you're getting the doll you want :3Ah, I am so excited my best friend revealed to me today that she will be buying me Rapunzel for my birthday present!

To be honest, I don't think that the "sharks" really know any more than what we do. From the time of Cinderella's release, some CMs are rumored to have revealed that Ariel was next, followed by Belle, and then Mulan. I think that the "sharks" have just been following forums like ours for information. Also, around the time when Cinderella was released, some people on eBay were posting pre-sales of all of the remaining dolls, using pictures they took of the display dolls in the retail stores (and as I recall, no one bought them - they were being posted for $125 each with, of course, no confirmed release date). Presently on eBay, only Mulan is being listed for pre-sale, since the forums all seem to agree that she is indeed to be released next Monday.
Having said that, for all we know, the one of the "sharks" may actually work for Disney. Corporate Disney has to know the order of the princess doll distribution, so who knows?
Very Insightful Shiva! I enjoyed your reply very much. It's kind of sad if the sharks get their info from our forum, and see that we're outraged by their price gouging.
Why 6000? I thought it was supposed to be 4000 or 8000...this is weird!!!!!!!! I still personally think edition size should be higher for all the marketing they did to add the hype to this set. OFC some will disagree- that it's cooler to have something with a lesser edition size, but my opinion is that the more the merrier!

) and the 3 came out is the more l.e. size...8000... Interesting... But... i am scared...i want Rapunzel,only HER. :shock:Pochaontas will be 4000 L.E!!! I hope you get her :hsd:
