Disney Designer Dolls

[Aurorabrir]

Hi there,
The girl at the Disney Store tonight told me that they may sell the dolls online in a staggered way, selling one per hour. It will still be crazy, and I don't know how their website will hold up, but that does seem like a better idea. The problem is, would we pay separate shipping for each? Would I be looking at the website for four hours?! LOL....that's hard to do when I'm working during the day. No word on what time they'll be sold or even if that plan is a "go".

On another note, I received my Snow White today and she's more beautiful than I had imagined. Feeling very pleased to have the one doll so far.

Best of luck to you all!

I am probably going to give the DS I am planning to go to a call to see what there plan of action will be for the release, check what time the mall doors open etc. Once I do that, I will plan my course of action. I wouldn't mind going to get there early, IE when the mall doors open, but I will not be camping out. I am going to the DS ONLY if I feel that I have a shot to get at least some of the dolls on 10/17. If not, I'll just try my luck online.

I highly doubt that will be the plan plus as we have seen with the previous information don't believe anything you hear from a disney store employee or manager they are usually the last to know and especially with any info on online process as they are only concerned with their particular store. Besides that would only create more work for Disney with 5 times as many orders than necessary to check to make sure their are no duplicates orders.

Did anyone else notice how there are only 4 items regarding the designer dolls on the disney store online? Wondering where everything went...

Yeah, I noticed that yesterday, I just wished they would of put the journals online as well... and bring back the clutch. When I bought Cinderella the first day she came out I wanted the clutch but thought it will be there for a while, I have heaps of time, yeah right! Never again will I be that naive, next time I see something I want, I will get it!

Hey so I need some advice. I bid on and won a Mulan on ebay for a pretty decent price. The auction ended a week ago and I paid on Wed. The seller said she would ship out the doll on Friday. Since then I have not heard a word from her. I have msg'd her on ebay and even on her hotmail account and still nothing. I know it's only been a few days but I just want some info and the complete lack of communication is driving me nuts. What should I do???

Sold out most likely. I almost bought the post its. But I didn't want to spend that much on them.

contact ebay and paypal. i mean it's been a week since you talked to her and there's no shipping confirmation when she told you she was shipping.

I just went through ebay/paypal and it says to wait a little while because the transaction is within the last 7 days. the longer i hear nothing the madder i get.

Good luck! I would be mad too. How was their feedback?

Her feedback was good but I think it's the first time she's ever sold something. I stalked her through facebook too LOL I am such a creeper sometimes

And the banner adds, search tabs etc are gone to. You really have to dig a bit now to find the Designer stuff. Anyway, looks like DS is really trying to bring the the buzz for awhile until 10/17 & 10/18. Out of sight out of mind I guess. Who knows, comes those two days, maybe the odds of getting the dolls will go up a bit. Trying to be positive, even with the issues and how fast the last few sold out, here is what I am thinking:

1. People are going to lose interest because of one reason or another. IE too much of a bother, already missed dolls, don't believe that they will be able to get what they want etc.

2. People who are not true Disney fans// collectors will forget or fail to keep up with the news and miss out. There were still people posting on FB asking which doll comes out Monday.

3. People won't want to make the effort at the stores. Some will off course, but it might not be too bad w/ it being a Monday.

4. Many people, including "flippers" cannot afford to buy all 5 at once. $300 will be a steep price tag for many, even those trying to resell on ebay. Buying a couple of one doll was one thing, buy trying to buy all 5 at one time is another.

5. Karma will favor us true Disney collectors.

So here's hoping!

I like the way you think! Time will tell.

i dunno i anyone ever answered this question... but why is rapunzel holding a mirror? it would've been cooled if she was carrying a lantern purse.

Unfortunately, no one seems to understand why Rapunzel has a hand mirror. Sure, the full-length mirror in her tower is used for 2 important things in the movie: as part of her flashback of being the princess and also for being the instrument that cuts her hair... A purse with the sun symbol would have been nice, either that or pairing her with Pascal. Even a fancy gilded hairbrush would have made more sense. The way she looks now, Designer Rapunzel looks very vain.

Good luck! I would be mad too. How was their feedback?

I am done waiting for a response and opened a dispute through paypal today. All I want to know is how/when the doll was shipped? And obviously where it is.

Be glad you didn't. They are really small and they don't even stick, super disappointed in them.

Rightfully so. I bought Belle and Snow White from eBay both sellers provided me with tracking within 24 hours of shipping the item. I am sooo excited to get them! the sellers wouldn't ship to Canada so I had them sent to a U.S. shipping address. Belle arrived there yesterday and Snow is suppose to be there Thursday by end of day. So I will be making the drive on my day off Friday. I see you are from Ontario, are you gonna hit the stores on the 17th? I wish you luck getting it sorted out

Finally heard back from the seller after having to go thru the Paypal dispute thing and SURPRISE she finally responded. She said she was sick and her computer had crashed (uh huh then why have you been on facebook over the past few days???) and how dare I cause problems and she has waited over a "hole" month for items from ebay before..

So I replied that I understand things happen and we all lead busy lives but I just wanted confirmation Mulan had been shipped, with what service and tracking number. I wasnot expecting to have recived her yet. Although since I paid over $30 for shipping and it's not even crossing a border I should've had it by now if she had sent it out on Friday as she had said she would.
Every other transaction I have ever had has provided with this info asap. So now it's apparently been shipped out today but I still don't know with what service etc.

Yes I am from Ontario and I plan on trying to get the dolls in person on the 17th. Going to have line up early I guess
