American girl doll sale

[jiminy14]

I received two Girls of Many Lands dolls today. They are absolutely beautiful dolls that come in a very nice box with an added book. Well worth the $11.50 that I paid for each. I liked them so much that I went back and ordered two more and the coupon still works. Before, anyone complains about the multiple orders, you should know that all four dolls are going to two little girls who are looking at a bleak Christmas this year. Their father recently suffered a back injury that left him on disability. Because he is out of work, they have lost their home and moved into a very small apartment. I am sorry for the long explanation but some people get carried away on their soapboxes.
BTW, The prices on the books have been changed so that you can no longer add them up to equal exactly $10. They now all end in .99

I, too, used the coupon on a "Doll of the World" (Isabel) and received my package today. My account at AG still said "in progress" until today and I never got a confirmation email. But hey, the doll is here!

The coupon is on the site to be used. If it wasn't to be used for multiple purposes, then they would have taken the coupon off the site. The problem they had with the free shipping has been fixed. Don't feel bad for using the coupon mulitple times. AG knows what they are doing.

Can you tell me, are these just collectible types or are they meant to be played with? Gosh I already spent a fortune between Samantha and Nellie, but they may be worth it to put away for a birthday or some other occasion.

Thanks for any thoughts from anyone.

BTW my girls are 7 and 5.

Thank you so much for the code.

I too used it several times and considering I spent over $200. in orders
I am sure American girl had no problem with me using it multiple times!

My DD will be so thrilled with her gift from Santa, the Samantha doll!

Thanks again

I received 3 of those dolls a couple of days ago: the one from France, Turkey, and England. The one from Turkey, Leyla, is my favorite. The costumes are really beautiful and intricate. The dolls are about the size of a barbie collectible doll. The detail in the costumes remind me of something you would see in a barbie collectible doll. I would say that these are geared towards older children, and not to be played with. I think your 7 year old would love it. I'm going to give them to my 13 year old niece, my 9 year old niece, and my 6 year old dd. These would also make TERRIFIC bday gifts throughout the year. They are so cheap (when using the code), and they are so beautiful. The box they come in isn't a cheap box either. It has a ribbon on the side that closes it up. Hard to explain. Anyway, I don't think it's worth the original $54, but definitely worth $11.50! Heck, I think I'm going back online to buy the other dolls and put them away to give out for bday gifts throughout the year. You really can't get such a nice doll for such a low price anywhere else.

My 6 year old has the Samantha and Nellie dolls, too. I just bought her Samantha's coat for xmas. I would love to get her Nellie's coat too, but I've already spent so much! She just had a bday a few days ago and I got her Nellie's xmas dress...it is really beautiful! I think I like it better than Samantha's xmas dress.

It is absolutely a dangerous obsession! I ordered Nellie's coat last week and it said it was backordered until Dec. 31. Now, it says it's completely sold out! That had me worried, so I called, and the lady said since I ordered while it was on backorder, I would still get it, but the demand since then has been SO large, it overwhelmed their ability to backorder. Plus, since it was a "holiday" coat, they weren't going to carry it past December anyway. So, they decided to just tell everyone it was sold out. I would definitely try the NYC store, though. They just might have it.

The store is amazing. It is 3 stories, and gets PACKED!! We went in October on a Sunday. It wasn't too bad first thing in the morning, but after lunch there, you couldn't move.

I know. We had lunch in the cafe and it was better than any character lunch we have been to including Cindys The kids especially liked the seats for the dolls. I am going alone and hope to be in and out quickly. No way I would take the girls there the week before Xmas.

You American girl fans will appreciate this story. My DD's (7) best friend was having a party at the AG store. The parents were taking 4 girls (and their dolls) into the city They had been looking forward to it for months. Two days before the party, my DD hurt her foot and couldn't walk. Initial x-rays showed nothing so we waited for her to get better. The night before the party, she still couldn't walk. So instead of breaking her heart, I went out and rented her a wheelchair. The birthday dad wheeled her around the store, bless his heart!!

They all had a wonderful time and the pictures of the lunch are precious. Turns out DD had a broken foot not seen on the first x-ray!! She still thanks me for getting her that wheelchair. One of my hero-mommy moments!

I went to the store in nyc on Tues and everything is practically gone. All of Nelly's clothes are gone(not that there were to many things for her). Her coat,dress and pjs are completely sold out. As for Samanthas accessories they are also sold out. They do have the dolls and some clothes but the store is less a lot of items.

 

[pjlla]

Just wanted you to know I got my packages today. The dolls are gorgeous! DD's best friend will LOVE them! THanks SOOOO much for the info! I truly appreciate it! It really helped our tight Christmas budget!................P

 

[Disbug]

Thanks again!

I received DD's Samantha doll and she is gorgeous! I also ordered DD's best friend a Spring Pearl doll (she was adopted from China and is just starting to ask about China) Really outstanding doll for $10.65!

 

[Lucky4me]

Thank you SO much for this thread!
I ordered a few to give as gifts throughout the year as well as one for dd.
She is going to be thrilled!
If anyone else is considering these as Christmas gifts, they can only guarantee delivery by Christmas if they're ordered by midnight tonight!

 

[pyrxtc]

These are amazing dolls! I got my first one today and even the box is wonderful!!! My 10 yr old DD is going to love them, but I think we'll have to find somewhere to borrow the books so the box is not ruined...LOL

I went crazy with these dolls. Originally I only ordered 1 - Cecile from France - but I was so impressed with the quality and presentation when I received her that I ordered 8 more dolls for b-day gifts throughout the year. What a great deal.
