Disney Designer Dolls

This is just madness, isn't it? Can anyone please tell me the retail value of the dolls? I am SO SAD to see the prices on eBay.

Nice to see that some sellers on Ebay had a starting price of $60. Makes a change!

I saw a post from NJ. I was 12 in line at Willowbrook in Wayne, NJ. I only got Jasmine and Rapunzel. My mom got Jasmine and we will trade for any one of the three Tiana, Aurora or Poca for our extra Jasmine. When they came out of the store, the had only 7 complete sets. So you know 3 went to employees. My mom got the last Jasmine I got the last Rapunzel.

Those are the 2 dolls I really want! Lucky you! I live near Rockaway Mall and I know they carried the dolls. I am sure it was crazy there this morning. I hope I have some luck on the website tomorrow!

That's a good idea. If anyone needs Tiana or Rapunzel numbers let me know.

I would loveee a rapunzel Id please, even if it won't make a difference, it'll be nice to have! Thank you so much!

Congrats to everyone who got their desired dolls!

I was in an extreme state of paranoia all the way up until I was in the line in front of my Disney Store this morning at 6:30. Luckily for me though our store definitely got a large number of dolls in. I believe we had about 37 Rapunzel's and 40+ Jasmine's, I was quite surprised. Not sure about the other 3 but I would guess around 20-ish each, judging by the number of people who got them. I was 13 in line and all the dolls were still available.

I would definitely be willing to trade though..my Rapunzel or Tiana for either Ariel (preferably) or Snow White. If anyone is interested feel free to PM me~

I wish the best of luck to everyone attempting to buy their dolls online tomorrow!

Our store was a mess. People kept trying to line up all night but Mall security wouldnt even let people in the parking lot until 6AM and when people finally parked and formed a very orderly line the Chief Mall Security guy yelled that we need to get off the property and in the blacktop of the parking lot. So the people who came at 4AM (me) were mixed in with the people coming in at 630AM and he pretty much yelled "Okay, you can line up" which caused a stampede and so I ended up in the middle of the line (and of course being our of luck for a doll).

It was unfortunate and as much as I'd like to blame Mall Security, I'm kinda upset at Disney Store too because this whole delay was supposed to be to think things through better and establish a more orderly procedure. But even though a line was made at 7AM, they said they werent allowed to "share info" on how many they received so we had to sit there like dummies for two hours until they finally said "Okay, we only got 15".

I was definitely there early enough to get the set, but because I'm not the type to push people then I lost out to mob mentality.

That's so awful. I'm so sorry about that If it makes you feel any better, I couldn't get the doll I wanted either

So is there an idea of which doll was the most popular that everyone was scrambling for?

I know there were more Rapunzels and Jasmine since there's a bigger allotment, while the rest only have 4000 each.

...I think the whole point of Disney going down for 45 minutes before the sale is so they can add everything into the site and having it all up and working at noon...

Yes, that is correct. The downtime is so they can update the cache on their servers so that the browse-able pages & named search results will be available to everyone. This will basically make the #'s irrelevant however, one thing the numbers do is get you directly to the item page, bypassing a "search results" page and decreasing the amount of clicks needed to get to the actual doll page.

I do have a list of all of the numbers that allow you to search for the doll; they are not active in the system until the product is added to the website (hence they currently don't work -- former numbers still do work).

With all that said, I lucked out today and completed my collection (thus can bypass tomorrow) however I don't have enough posts to reply to PM's for the numbers which means I either post them here (for everyone to see) or need a staff member or mod to PM me so I can send them out.

i would like the one for Pocahontas if possible please

Everyone in line was getting all 5 if they could.

Aurora seems to have 1 or 2 less available then Tiana & Pocahontas. At the store I was at, they had 8 Aurora's, 10 Tiana & Pocahontas, 17 or so Rapunzel & 20 or so Jasmine. Most of the numbers seem to be around these, at least in the midwest from what I've seen.

My guess is the Aurora being sent out instead of Mulan caused her to be less & the extra Rapunzel's in London (probably due to be released on 10/3 when Rapunzel became an official princess) are why Jasmine has the most quantity at the stores I've seen.

I believe you need 10 posts before you can PM people, I believe? So try posting some comments in other forums. There are some great discussions going on in the Forums.

And that's what I thought, when you search the number it takes you directly to the page you want. And every second counts in the scramble.

I'd like the Jasmine one if possible.
I wish I could drive, I would have traveled a far distance just to try and get her.

If someone has the numbers for Poccahontas, Tianna, and/or Aurora please PM me...

Hoping having the numbers will prevent the extra clicks tomorrow so that I can finish my collection.

3rd in line in mn... Mall said doors unlock at 6 but they were unlocked when we got here and someone was already in line and somebody budged when we ran in even though I was first at door for awhile.... 13 ppl in line now... Good luck!

Ah lucky you! I walked by on my way to work at like 8 am because I'm planning on buying online and not in store but I thought i'd check it out anyways. Did most everybody get a doll? I heard they didn't get a very big ship met which is weird figuring its the freaking mall of america. I saw a group who were from out of state and she's like we didn't make the cut ): sad. I hope you got the dolls you wanted! i feel a lot of people were ebay scalpers which is sad. I'm still glad you got yours!

 

[luckyleo81]

If anyone has the sku for Aurora I'd greatly appreciate it!
