Limited Edition 17" Collector Dolls Information

Yay, high five! We are totally on the same page here (love the GIF too by the way)
 
You are hilarious! I love that! I completely understand about the whole searching for a tiny picture or anything that will show what the next doll may look like. Even if their kids really want the doll, they will probably forget about it later on, where as collectors like us don't.
 

Love it! You are so on point with this. I even have kids and have noticed this. Some people are completely unbelievable.
 

Oh my gosh yes! That happened to my family in WDW a few years ago too!

Yeah I'll be going into work tomorrow super exhausted and will get the eye brow raising from my co workers once I tell them why lol Although some of them are like " Did you get them? Did you order them?" All anxious for me lol

I told my mom that the Elsa released on November 20th was the last doll I was going to get (even though she's my first of the 17" dolls), yet here I am. AND I plan on buying the next set of DFDC dolls too


I am such a liar, ha!
 
Just checking up on how everyone is doing this fine evening/afternoon or whatever time period you're in the world lol. I'm gonna be probably updating when I wake up & head to the store & try my luck there. My friend is actually gonna be with me this time, sooo I'm gonna be pretty stoked!! Haven't been this excited since Ariel was for pre-order back in July! I've been working on this Frozen poster that took me 2 days & it's finally ready to be put up for work for the contest. We usually do a contest with our store to see who does the most pre-sale. & I'm in charge of this contest since Frozen is no exception. I'd saw I'm pretty happy for what I've accomplished. Do not mind the random mustache! LOL, it's just to cover up the cast member names.



UGH! Don't even get me started on my collection! Thank goodness I'm not a HUGE fan of Frozen. Only love for Olaf but if I did, I would have like no room to put them; let alone display them. One of my New Year's resolution is to actually get shelves to display everything. Sad to say it's like stuck in one corner of my room :[



But me being SO off topic, hopefully the UK will have their pre-orders for the movies soon too. Plus also have the same movie covers as us, here in North America. & to everybody else, good luck with your pre-orders & get some good rest or good coffee to keep you awake! ;]

Alright. I have decided to preorder Elsa and check out Anna in the store to decide whether or not to preorder her. I have reasoned that Elsa will sell out faster, and there are barely any dolls of Elsa in her coronation outfit-just the 12 inch one from the Disney store that comes as part of an expensive set, and the ugly Mattel one, both of which I would never buy. However almost all Anna dolls are in her snow outfit, are reasonably priced, and lovely, so even if I miss out on this LE one, I can go for the classic one or the singing one. In fact, facewise, I think the singing one is just as good as the LE one; just add lashes and you're pretty much there. Of course the outfit will never compare but I was never one to buy a doll solely for her spectacular outfit. The face was always much more important.

Also, sorry for asking this so many times, but does anyone know if its possible to cancel an online preorder? I would rather preorder and pick up from the store (so I can pick the perfect one), but I'm afraid of missing out if I do that. If I could cancel the online preorder, I would preorder tonight, go to the store tomorrow, preorder from the store if still available, and cancel my online preorder. That way, if I go to the store tomorrow and there are no more available, then I'll still be assured I will get them from my online order. Thanks to anyone who can answer!
 

I love that green dress Ariel figure! What collection is she from?
 
The friends that know I collect dolls tease me about it.for example, when I sound upset they ask me "What's wrong? You didn't get the next disney doll?" Haha makes me laugh.
 

I've seen people (myself included) have a lot of trouble trying to cancel it in the past. If you're not prepared to get stuck with a set and pay for both and find someone else who will buy it, I would just say choose one or the other. However, I don't think you'll have a problem finding someone who would take it off your hands this time round. haha

Haha my parents got me into collecting the dolls in the first place. My mom bought me the Snow White doll when she was released cause she could see that she would become valuable in the future and suggested that I should try collecting them all. I almost missed Tiana when she came out and got the last one in the store when I reminded my mom that she said that. Hahaha now my parents are kinda annoyed about all the releases cause they were told that it would only be the princesses back in 2009 when there was only 9 princess, and only 1 doll per princess. So this is actually going to be my first time buying the dolls with my own money cause they could not afford to do it for me this time, plus now with every release they kinda make me feel bad about it by complaining about how many they are going to release before they are done, only to make me feel better when my mom falls in love with them when she sees them. So now I'm gonna try and buy them all with my own money when I have the means to.

Hahah and now I have gotten my best friend into collecting them too and I am currently staying up to preorder her Elsa for her cause she can't com with me to the store tomorrow when I get mine and she has no internet....and my mom's dolls cause even though it annoys her a little, she still wants them

Oh my goodness I just burst out laughing. That's probably how I will be the next time I see a LE doll that I want, though I will hopefully have enough self-restraint to keep myself from overspending since I'm saving my money for going to grad school abroad next year. Key word: hopefully.
 
Soooo.... I'm exhausted. Tomorrow will be a tiring work day, but at least it's Friday. To make matters worse, I'm not entirely sure I'm buying the dolls yet (I'm incredibly indecisive down to the last possible second, I know.). I mean, I can afford them--it's not like I'm going to starve or be evicted if I buy them; but my boyfriend and I are also planning a 3-day trip to DLR sometime this year where we'll get engaged. I think I'll still buy--or try to buy--them anyway, and if I feel too guilty about it later, just sell Elsa off... maybe. I feel like I am in the minority in my massive love for Anna over Elsa. Both dolls are gorgeous, though.
 
I seem to recall people saying they were able to cancel pre orders due to the amount of time until they are able to process. I know that's what I'll be doing since I have a super important meeting first thing in the morning and can't get to the store till later (and in the meantime am trying not to die of a heart attack while I sit, endlessly refreshing this page, waiting for midnight!)
 
I'm staying at a WDW resort, and the internet has been laggy.. I seriously can't even watch an episode of a tv show on hulu. I can't scroll through tumblr.. I can't do anything without a wait.

I'm hoping these will last a while.. I just need to order them and go to bed!! T____T

Good luck to everyone!!
 
I'm up with my newborn so time zones don't mean anything to me right now. Getting anxious though, since the forum crashed last time.
