DisneyStore Limited Edition 17" Dolls Discussion
For all those Anna fans, and since many people, me included, have already posted several Elsa pics, here's one of Anna. Mine's number 2,336/5,000 and is quite pretty in her own right, though Elsa's my personal favorite of the two!

Super congratulations to everyone who got them so far. After being stuck in traffic I was so sure I had missed them but to my surprise when I got there I was number 7 :D I'm so so happy I got all of them! It was an awesome experience everybody was so friendly and organized. Oh man they are breath taking I love them so much. They had the Deluxe singing dolls i was so tempted to get Elsa but it helped to walk away that I was holding my LE Elsa lol if not I would have bought her. They're having the family & friends 25% starting tonight :) which I would have loved to use with the tsum tsum FF & Christmas sets but got them online this morning thinking they would sell out. But I already have my eyes on some other things hahaha... I have to finish my shelf and I'll upload some pics ^^
 
Thank y'all for posting the numbers & your pictures! I was debating only getting Anna but your pictures have made me confident in getting Elsa as well. So thrilled for tonight. :daisy:

Unfortunately not until the 5th, smart of Disney since they knew people would use it for the dolls tonight, they wouldn't dare let that happen for collectors to get a nice discount on 2 LE dolls and a designer set....

Lol, yeah, heaven forbid they let us get a deal on any of the dolls! In all honesty though, I doubt the discount would work anyway, I've got $10 off from the Inside Out preorder today and it can't be used with the LE dolls either, I checked!
 
It does start on the 4th for Disney Card Members (early access perk)...as usual though there is a long list of fine print of what is excluded. Anything Limited Edition does not qualify, discount codes never ever work on LE dolls :(

My best coupon day was the 'one day lapse' this year of the release of the Cinderella live action 6 doll set and a one day sale of 'take 40% off your regular priced purchase' :) I'm sure that set will go on sale soon, but wow...didn't expect them to let that be a part of it.

Either way you wouldn't have been able to apply the 25% off since it says it excludes limited edition merchandise (among a bunch of other things) in fine print.
 
37 HOURS OF QUEUE for me; 44 HOURS OF QUEUE for the greedy scalpers who started the queue and a stupid an arrogant collectioner girl. Let me explain what happened at the Paris disney store champs elysées for the limited edition frozen fever release! I wasso mad;

let me present you first the greedy scalpers who starts the queue the 1st november at 1 am; His girlfriend is a collectioner (not the stupid i talked jut before ) and last year, an inside source told them there probably be a surprise at the champs elysées, for the Frozen 2015 march. So they came 24 hours before the release. It happened that the next day the disney store had in store for the first one in the queue 1 elsa snow queen and 1 anna coronation. So the greedy scalper got them ( he already had bought them on november 2013 of course )

last thuesday for the hans and elsa duo greedy scalper didn’t want to pass the night on the champs elysées and he and his girfriend come the morning at 4 am and were maybe btw 14 an17 in the queue and at their surprise , the disney store got 4 more rapunzel and gothel duo! they were highy upset by that , he and his girlfriend were not the first in line this time, it happened that the first in line came from north of france because they missed the previous dolls last weeks. So they bought them , they were so happy.

But greedy scalper and her girlfriend were mad; So they didn’t want to pass their chance for the next release of course. they expected to have ore elsa na hans duo…. So the greedy scalper started ( from what the CM of the disney store told us ) to spy around the 30 and 31 october he came at disney store closing time to see if somebody was starting the queue. Of course nobody wanted to come before the 2nd november in the morning;But in the 1 november stupid collectionner girl came with her husband around 1am a bit before, and our greedy scalpers was already on alert around the store since morning this time. He spotted them( they are people who came at each release so he knew them). Greedy scalpers had to be first so he ran to take place just before they reached the “ place “ where we usually start the queue. Then , they reached ( they knew who he was too ) and they agreed to not leave the place and start the queue since now they were the first , sure to get their doll and more important greedy scalper had number 1 !! just in case so “old” duo ‘s coming back.

why did i say that stupid collectionner girl was stupid? Because you don’t start a queue for half of a day 2 night and 1 full day with just a chair! so her and her husband was so unprepared that the next day , they quit for half an hour the queue ( we are allow to have a break ) to go shop stuff to camp out - and she was arrogant and stupid enough to live the queue few minutes to order on her cell phone the limited edition pin’s on the disney store.fr and the very time where tickets were given to us by the disney store. Disney store cm was very kind to wait for her!!!!!!!! we were all sooooo mad. And stupid girl took 25 mins to pay in the cashier because she wanted to choose carefully her tsum tsum ( tsum tsum thuesday à) no allow to choose her dolls ) so we yelled at her . We were soooooo mad.

Back to november 1st afternoon, i was taking a shower , when my phone rang, was with full of shampoo in my hair when my friend told me “ the queue at the champs elysée “ the worst was when she told me who started it!!!!!! i was so mad . I laughted at first.. we decided to wait, to see if the queue were going to grow or not, if the internet was going to spread news or not, and for now, the net didn’t know yet . So we agree to not go that soon, because it was crazy! even more crazy when you know why it started to early. Because of our greedy scalper hopes for “older “ dolls coming back. I came to my friend home at 6pm and she told me, unfortunaly that the word about the queue is spreading and now they are 8 people. We are not living in paris ,; we live from one hour via train from it and the news just go posted on the forum. So we were doomed. Upset to no limits. And we packed and live for the disney store. When we arrived,we were number 13 and 14.

At midnight almost 40 people were there, more come, in the morning we were 47 people in total ,some came during the night. 5 People had to forfeit, two get sicks , 2 of them knew ( german girls ) it was almost hopeless and they were number 41 and 42 , so they leave to try the next day on the webstore in their country and their home . You have to know that in Europe both release store and website release are in the same day!!!!!!!! you can’t choose.
more people came in the morning and decided to try their luck, hoping for 45 dolls. So 46 47 i think people queue for around 30 hours minimum.
At the end, the store got 35 elsa, 36 anna, 39 duo. It was heartbreak for the people who waited for around 30 hours a bit more for nothing , to see them cry to know for them it was too late for the website as well.
Just because a greedy scalper was hoping like last thuesday and last year, “ old dolls “ were coming back ( duo hans and elsa ) and a stupid and arrogant collectionner girl.

we were all happy to see no more “ old “ duo came back. At least we laugh at him for that. Or disney cm who were not happy either decided to not display them at that time … Who knows…

You know.. The more complaints/vents I hear, the more I think that Disney should start a collector's club.
I mean, this is getting out of hand. I think Disney wants this to be a Pins situation, where if you don't check out in less than 30 seconds, you won't be able to order any dolls.

Also, I think we can all agree that Disney will never make a doll with an LE higher than 5,000. If Frozen Fever didn't get that treatment, no other doll will.
But I did notice that stores were getting more and more dolls compared to last time. So they're probably sending more dolls to the stores, which means less dolls sold online.

By instilling the collector's club, they can ensure that ONLY one doll per guest rule because that person wouldn't be able to create two accounts and people who buy stuff in stone won't be able to get them online. Now, if I scalper decides to sign this thing up under his friend's name, Disney can't do anything about that.
 
I've got toothpicks keeping my eyes open here on the east coast. Really...just once could we have a magical release day? ;)
 
Can someone confirm when I put search on the site with the item number do I have to put #? Or just the number ? Good luck to all those who really want the dolls, I just hope I can get Elsa.
And the Paris store sounds crazy, 30 hours queuing!:/
 
Congrats to everyone who managed to get a doll or even both. Still so disappointed and angry with the U.K. Online stores, not that they care. :(
