Everything Disney Doll Related

I was able to get Snow White today. The store got 18 and I think only 12 people raffled for it. I do see the popularity going up as more people tune in and the fan favorite princesses make their debut

Congrats to all of you who have this first set in hand. Maybe I'll be brave and try the store raffle for the next release.

At first I thought we would only be able to pre-order these dolls for an October release, but I'm glad to see they are available immediately. I must have thought that because the people who pre-ordered the entire set have to wait. That's going to be hard on them if all of these releases go smoothly, since I'm sure most did the pre-order to avoid the chaos.

I'm hoping it keeps going this smoothly! Belle is the one I can't do without haha I'm hoping this one wont be too popular to easily get my hands on!

Me too! I might get Rapunzel, but Im definitely getting Belle and Ariel. I know they are pretty popular though so hopefully I can get them. My DS location doesn't seem to have that many doll collectors I don't think. So I hope it goes as smoothly.

Can someone please explain the raffle thing to me. Its so confusing. They only thing is that these are released on Tuesdays in the store, and I couldn't get to the store until closer to 11, so will I miss out on the raffle or getting one? Am I better off just trying online?

I wont be too upset if I miss out on these, because Im stalking Ebay for the Designer Dolls but it would be nice to have these too if I could get them.

Based on the little I have read about the process, you sign up for the raffle between 11:00 -12:00 A.M., and the drawing is at 1:00 P.M. that same day. I think this is mandated by Disney. Someone who actually participated in the raffle can verify if these are the correct times. I'm going to buy Snow White online, but may try the store for the next set.

It's 12:00 to 01:00 local time. Drawing is at 1:10, this is stated in their product pamphlet so it's pretty much Disney Law across all retail stores. Good luck to you

Thanks for the correct times, Asatira. They make more sense.

My store had 17 and only 7 people came. I got there at 1145 at 12 everyone was handed a slip you had to put your name on. You must have a photo ID with you and you must write you know exactly how it appears on your ID. At 110 they start to draw names, even tho there were enough dolls for everyone they still pick the slip out of a bag three at a time. When your name was called you had to show your ID and then the three ppl in that group where escorted to a register that was open just to those who were buying they dolls. You again at the register had to show your photo ID it was very organized.

I got my Snow White today! One down 4 to go!

 

[Axlcat]

Success! But the link never came up for me. I got it from another site. I think the frustrating thing is not knowing what page to be on. You start to doubt yourself and start typing in anything. I used "fairytale designer" initially and the doll is there now. I guess it just comes up sooner for some, probably based on servers.

I have a feeling some of the remaining dolls will be much harder to get, so I will definitely try the raffle next time. At least I will be giving myself two chances instead of one.

I think I can already see that I will have no chance at Ursula.

 

[sjv919]

What site did you get her from if not Disney?

 

[Axlcat]

I bought her from the online Disney store. It's the link to the Disney "add to cart" page that I got from another site. Just proves that we don't all get updates to the site at the same time.

 

[sjv919]

Ohhhh, okay I gotcha now! I'm going to keep that in mind in case I need to go online for the ones I want if I can't get them in store! Thank you!

Went to my local DS today, had to return the art of ariel phone cover, didn't realize it was for iphone 5. Picked up some more LM vinyls and dolls.

I talked with the SM and she explained the raffle thing to me better. She said with the Designer Princesses that they didn't see them really pick up in sales to the third one was released.

Im seeing a lot online that more people really want Ariel and Belle which is the only two Im really interested in so Im nervous.

Also, my closest DS is not carrying them, so I would have to drive pretty far to get to the only store in MA that is selling them, and I don't think I would make it in time giving my work schedule on a Tuesday. So I definitely couldn't make it to pick up a ticket for the raffle, or even the drawing since I couldn't be at the store that day until around 1:30-2!! So I have to hope that they don't sell all they have, and I can get a them then. Or I have to wake up at 3AM and hope to get them online.

Has anyone seen the Brass Key dolls of the Disney Princesses? There are a few on ebay. They look really cute and I'm "watching" a few. Can you tell me anything about them?

 

[tadamom]

Which Brass Key dolls are you watching? My daughter has the Enchanted Tales collection (4 dolls total) in their winter dresses.

I just received my Snow White Fairytale set. Beautiful!

Im looking at the Avon one of Belle in the red/burgundy cloak from the movie. Maybe its part of that collection? I'm also curious about the little De Agstoni dolls from Italy. Those look really cute but are pricey on ebay.

That's awesome! Post pics

Trust me, these dolls are gorgeous in person. I have seen photos where people have removed Snow's braid, and she does look really pretty with her hair down, but I am too chicken to do that. These dolls are staying in the box as is. Although based on photos I have seen of Rapunzel, it does look like she made need some tweaking.

 

[Tinkerboy00]

Cute! Don't forget that Rapunzel is out on Tuesday.

I will be out of my class by 1PM so I'll miss the drawing. My plan is to just call the store as I head their way and see if they have any left. If they have one when I get there, I'll get her. If not, then it wasn't meant to be.
