Mine are on a shelf too. Im only keeping them because if I have to decide to get rid of any of the dolls then it will help to have these for resale.
I know. We are redoing my shelves today so I can fit them all. I wanted to have my collections all together, so like one shelf each for Ariel, Aurora, Belle and Rapunzel. But Im already out of room. So I think all my Designer Dolls will go together on one shelf, and then each will have their own shelf of misc merch like mugs, classic dolls, vinyls etc. Its taking over!!!Mine are on a closet shelf, along with the case covers. I guess if there is any downside to collecting these dolls (other than the difficulty of buying them in the first place), it's the amount of display and storage space they take up.
I know. After seeing the movie I want to collect Frozen stuff now. I dont have the money or room at the moment. Haha.
It would be nice if they offered them when the live-action film comes out, but since the Diamond Edition Blu-ray comes out in October, I have a feeling it will be a repeat of this year with TLM. Hopefully the Hot Toys Maleficent won't come out until 2015.
Here we go again! Second wave of LE Anna and Elsa 17" dolls will be available for pre-order (US only) on January 10. International release will be in March to coincide with the Blu-ray/DVD issue. This time the edition size is 5000 each, but I expect they will still sell out quickly due to the popularity of the film. These are must-haves for me.
). This is early,early Friday morning (January 10).The online pre-order starts at 12:00 AM PST (that's 3:00 AM if you live on the East Coast so drink lots of coffee if you're not used to staying up late
My advice is to check the Disney limited Edition Dolls Facebook page for the links to the Disney sale pages rather than just refreshing Disney.com. The reason is that someone usually posts those links in a couple of minutes after the start of the sale, while the Disney site can take as long as 15 minutes to add them. This really matters for the dolls that sell out in minutes. Be sure to be logged in at Disney.com, and it's not a bad idea to have your credit card info already stored there if that's how you will pay.
Pre-orders are also offered at Disney stores, but not all of them, so you need to call to see if your store will have them. They go on sale at store opening and are first come, first serve, so you need to line up early. I have never pre-ordered in a store so I can't tell you how early. The CM at your store can hopefully give you pointers on that. The store pre-orders occur after the online, so you at least have another chance.
Charges made by credit card at stores are immediate, meaning you pay in full at that time. Online you are charged at time of shipment, but your credit card bank may choose to put a permanent hold on your card until that time. Bill Me Later puts a temporary hold and then releases it until Disney puts the charge through again when ready to ship. I strongly recommend you NOT use a bank debit card online since it's possible to get to the point where you give Disney your card info and they will send it through for pre-approval even if the doll is no longer in stock. This means a 10-day hold will be placed on your bank funds even though you were unable to buy the doll(s). I know this from personal experience. Using a credit card with a large balance is preferred.
