If they're there, we might experience the same difficultly with purchasing the Ava Durvernay Barbie -- Mattel doling out just a few at a time to Amazon. I need to check with Doll Genie to see if they are actually going to have the dolls. <br /><br />Why Mattel releases dolls to other markets first or allows them to be sold by other merchants like Amazon before they are sold in the US, on their website, or as you've indicated to Platinum members is asinine. They should always take care of loyal customers and "home" first. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-15140822263685967232018-01-25T17:02:04.009-06:002018-01-25T17:02:04.009-06:00These dolls are awesome!

You would think as a Platinum Member of Barbie Collectors, that we would get an opportunity to purchase these before they hit the mainstream market (This is what they promise you when you join after all!) So far, I have not seen any real advantage to being a Platinum member. I saw a post on Facebook that these were already available for purchase at Amazon.com Chez republic! Lately, many of the new releases are available internationally long before we see them here. The Curvy MTM doll is an example.

When I checked their website the doll is no longer shown with the list of dolls. I hope this just means the store's allotment has been spoken for and my doll is already reserved for me. <br /><br />I didn't read the Twitter thread. People are funny. <br /><br />General Public Service Announcement: Even though you're an adult, you do not need permission to love, buy, collect dolls. It's okay. Dolls are not just playthings for children.<br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />Yes, I know people are already making plans to customize the Oprah doll. I'll sit back and enjoy the photos that will be shared. My doll will remain as is. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-58128359546780723802018-01-25T16:13:31.335-06:002018-01-25T16:13:31.335-06:00They really need to do a Meg doll, she is the main...They really need to do a Meg doll, she is the main character.<br />aprilperlowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14776229165714962195noreply@blogger.com
