Get Pepared, Designer Villains!!!!!
Cruella looks gorgeous!
This pre-order has been such a headache. I emailed disney last night because my tracking number still says "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."
So I asked what the hold up was....the response that I got this morning was that the package had been delivered.....I do not have it so now I am freaking out. Ugh.
Set arrived this morning in perfect shape - #60 of 13000!
That's fantastic, Steve! I think that is the lowest reported LE number so far on a public forum that I have seen.But best of all, thank goodness your set did not have the same issues as last year's debacle! As I recall, they sent your Designer Princess set to an open field?!?
That's interesting, I got an shipping notification email from Disney indicating my gift bag is being shipped separately (apparently, still stuck in the warehouse)
FYI, on the outer box label "Girls Toys / DesignerVillainsDollSet", the set number (060) was in the Dept field on the label
Both of my sets have 060 as the Dept field # too
Yes, for me, as well. There is a mysterious parcel that weighs 1.50 lbs that has had a shipping label created for it, but it's been sitting at the warehouse since 10/10/2012. I had assumed that it was the gift bag(s), but people have been saying that the promised one gift bag is in the same box as the dolls. Very curious!
This exact same thing is happening to me. My dolls are scheduled to arrive to the place I'm having them shipped to tomorrow and I'll be going there to pick them up later in the afternoon so hopefully they've arrived by then or that will be a wasted (sort of, I also need to pick up my Tremaine from the same place) trip. But my mysterious 1.5 pound most likely the designer bag package has only ever said "shipping label created", since the same date. I hope the bag is in the box with the dolls, as it SHOULD be. I mean, it's a bag that can be folded flat. A whole separate package is such a waste! But the extra shipping number is really confusing! Has anyone who's received their dolls already had the same sorts of e-mails with two different tracking numbers but got the bag inside the big box with the dolls anyway??
Another thing I'm curious about, people are saying each doll is listed at $477, PLEASE tell me that's what the price sticker says on the back of the dolls and not what's listed on the invoice slip. I'll have to submit the invoice slip to customs to get the dolls into Canada and I only want to pay customs on $79.95 x 6, not $477 x 6!!! I'd literally cry if that happened and I'm not sure how understanding border guards would be when I explain it's the whole set that's nearly five hundred bucks, not each doll! I guess I'll find out tomorrow!
Hmm thats interesting that the CART# wasn't the same. I don't own any Designer dolls so I wouldn't know. However it is still true for the LE dolls. Great pictures ! Also makes me want to collect the designer dolls. I'm hoping Disney will come out with a heroine designer set. Also as far as Cruellas plunging neckline , I heard a lot of people complaining that someone without children must of created her. I think that is a bit riddiculous, cause I don't know anyone who would give a child an $87 doll to destroy.
The Villains must not be doing so well...I received this email today:
All of the dolls for this series have now been released...and not one of them has sold out. And they are still pushing the buy-all-six option, and discounting other Designer Villains merchandise. I am wondering if Disney now regrets doing such large edition sizes for these dolls. I felt like they could have made all of these somewhere between LE 5000-8000 and met the demands without problems, but I guess the fiasco with the Designer Princesses prompted them to up the edition sizes. I wonder how long the dolls will actually last, and if they will get desperate and eventually start discounting the actual dolls, or ship some of them back to stores so people will see them in person and purchase them, or just leave them up on the website until they eventually sell out. I guess time will tell.
I also wonder how this will affect future Designer Doll releases (if they were planning to do more). If they were planning on doing Designer Heroines, for instance, would they lower the edition sizes back to Designer Princess levels...or would the Designer Villains turnout make them not want to do anymore Designer dolls ever?
