I'm pretty new to collecting and just wanted to ask a question of the veteran collectors. I really want to buy an LE Snow White, and looking back at the post Polaris started in October listing each doll, it looks like the prices for her on Ebay have gone up dramatically since then. So I am wondering, do you think the prices will continue to just go up, or is this a product of the Frozen craze and if I wait a few months they might be more reasonable? Trying to decide whether to fork over a fortune for her now or wait.......
Snow White for only 400$? Wow, sounds amazing! She is really gorgeous, would totally get her for this price! But while she is always for over 1000 priced i am not very interested in getting her, would prefer to get the coronation Anna but her prices are sooo ridiculous!
OlafOlaf: I think you have a point, there are many new collectors out there (including me) since the Frozen Hype and with them the scalper groups are growing faster, unfortunately.
This is very premature lol but I'm planning on travelling to London in October to try and get the dolls, my nearest store I don't think carries them so might as well plan a trip to London lol. Can anyone who went to get Ariel tell me which Disney store had her in London as I'm guessing theirs more than one? And how early do you have to line up? I was thinking 6am? Store opens at 10am or would I need to be even earlier?
I don't think Maleficent has anything to do with it, to be honest. It's just that more and more collectors start liking the dolls and with that popularity it also brings more scalpers. After the craziness of Frozen they probably want to turn every future doll release into some high end sale. I mean, just look at the Ebay listings right now, they're trying to sell her for big bucks and she's not even delivered yet.
Thanks so much for the advice Luna! I will try to wait until after doll season. I don't know if this helps anyone, but there are still a few Aurora preorders available at the Pineville, NC Disney Store.
I'm close to Pineville. If still available, I might be able to go get one tomorrow. Happy to trade it for another doll for my wife (I was able to get an online preorder). Do you know if they are still available there?
It's not premature at all! I spent my morning in a business center in a hotel while each and everyone of my family was out enjoying the celebrations. These dolls are like an obsession...
Anyways, I'd suggest going to the main Oxford street store. I don't know if the Harrods store will get any though. The oxford store has always been the main UK disney store I think. I've been to it twice and it appeared that way to me.
I think no matrer if there was a hype or anything the resell value was always going to be £250 / $ 350 plus. But now it sold out so quick and the likely hood of is in Europe being able to get 1 of only 500 I think people will pay over the amount I mentioned above and this will become a very hard doll to find under those prices
