So if the cast members claim they did not get the pre orders in their store but will have the dolls that is basically falser info they are giving out? I wont count on my stores having the dolls but I will be at the store Tuesday anyway to get other things. will just have to wait and see what happens

Are we talking UK or USA here?

Some said they had talked to disney and they seem to ship on the 18th - which is a bit late...
I was talking about the US - because the person who asked about the stores were from the US.

Yes I would not rely on that cast members information. There are numerous times where cast members have misinformed people in situations like this and I feel like this will be one of them. The US had a pre-order policy which meant that all stores had to sell the dolls as a preorder. The fact that the store did not get them earlier would mean that they are not getting an allocation at all. The information just doesnt sound consistent with the doll release policy released by the Disney Store. I am pretty sure that all stores have to comply with what the head office tells them to do so which is what also makes me think you have been misinformed.
USA. Dont forget only the US do preorder. The UK does not do preorders. In the UK the dolls will still be available from March 18 both online and in store.
LOL not really dont forget the dolls are supposed to be released on the 18th so as long as if they start shipping them by next week then they are technically not late. I find it funny that since they are preorders everyone is now expecting the dolls to be shipped earlier than the release date and that anything later than that will be late. Yes Ariel was processed earlier than release last year but that doesnt mean that that will be the same situation here.
Don't forget guys, if this was not a preorder and was just an ordinary release those buying in store would get their doll straight away where as those that buy their dolls online would have to wait several days before their stores are processed and shipped. So to be honest if they were to process it for shipment on March 18 then that should still be considered early.
They could still possibly take the hold on the cards tonight and start processing shipments before the weekend? If not then surely by Monday they will start processing orders. Either way you should definitely be expecting your orders to get to you before the end of next week.

So after speaking to people who would be in the know at the ds it looks like theres not going to be a surprise. I will say I am hoping that they are all super restricted on the info and they are supposed to keep it s secret and that's why I was told no but the people I know are high up and im sure would have told me for sure.......... 
lol and whats funny is I had a dream that I bought the regular barbie sized hans doll. Which i said I would do if they didnt make a limited one. But still I want to believe that not alls said and done until tuesday.

I guess I just heard stories about some of the previous dolls being shipped before the release date, so I thought it would be a few days before the 18th.
Personally I don't really care, since I won't see my dolls before I move to Japan anyway, so as long as my dolls arrive safely sometime in March/April - I'm happy.

LOL well you are right, last year Ariel was being processed a week before her release and most people were getting her by the Friday before her actual release and I think because of that we were expecting the same in this situation but I guess Disney might have only done it last year because they would also have Ursula and Eric to deal with on Oct 1 as well? So maybe they bumped Ariel's shipping earlier to avoid having to organise shipment for 3 dolls at the same time? Also makes it more likely that there will not be a surprise release either, especially if they havent started processing the shipment of these dolls yet.

Called my store today and the CM said they have ours already, waiting in the back and ready for Tuesday!
I know I'm late but I liked your post. I can't say I hated him, but I very much disliked his character - not just because he's the villain. I normally like the villains (jafar, maleficent, gaston)... But Hans.... He was just a poo poo head. I mean playing on someone's heart strings is just seriously cold, which is why I can't stand his character - no one fakes love and gets away with it! Lol
Yeah I expected as much and that it might be false or misinformation but I have to go to the Disney Store anyway so I doubt these will be there but if they are thats awesome if not oh well. I do hope to get a couple Plush Olafs and the classic elsa doll that day as they are supposed to restock that stuff. I did just order Merida off Ebay for less than $125 and I can't wait to get her. shes really the only other Limited edition 17" doll I want besides Anna and Elsa(until they release Maleficent that is:drool Shes looks gorgeous. Now all I can do id wait and see if my stores get these dolls or not. Does anyone here know of the Disney Outlets usually get these LE dolls for pre order or sale?? I know the Outlet near me got the Tinker bell and Zarina Dolls
USA. Dont forget only the US do preorder. The UK does not do preorders. In the UK the dolls will still be available from March 18 both online and in store.[/QUOTE]

Merida is an amazing LE doll and $125 is a great price for her. I think you will absolutely love her.
Based on what I am aware of I dont think outlets usually get the LE dolls. From what I heard only major Disney Stores get the dolls? So maybe some major outlets may get them?
Perfect for using the coupon you get with your pre-orders as well.
Lets say there will be a surprise doll(s) next week, will it be only on the UK site or US site as well? Like, the UK site would get surprise and Anna and Elsa, US only the surprise? Just trying to figure out the DS policies
I always want to be positive like Anna but chances of surprise seems less by the minute
or they strike when we have lost all hope XD

I like Hans. But I think why he gets so much hate is that his character is so real. He is a pure sociopath at it's finest. He says what he wants people to hear. And mimics them to get what he wants.

Nope, I guess we'll get them too, but just a very limited number. I remember we got Ursula and Eric just 100 times each. They were outsold just a few minutes later, so you need to be very fast.

The only dolls that the UK got exclusively was the Harrods Frozen set. So far all dolls that have been released to date have had a majority of them released in the US and a smaller amount allocated to the UK/Euro market.
So yes that is correct, if there is a surprise release that will mean the UK will have all three dolls released on the same day and the US will only have the surprise available for sale since the other two dolls were released for preorder back in Jan in the US.
The dolls are generally available in both the Euro and the US market especially now that they are becoming more and more popular generally the Euro market gets a lower allocation but that has always been sufficient in the past with the dolls usually lasting at least a day or two longer than the US.

Charge on my card for my frozen girls!!!
I think it would be too risky, selling them and then buying another would be much safer. I read somewhere here that someone got an empty box. It would have been a LE Snow White for a LE Snow Queen Elsa if I remember correctly.
