I went by Target today and saw these. Now, it's not just that I'm cheap, because I am, it's that I refuse to pay $24.39 for something that used to be $11.68. I missed the previous Rocawear line and came in during the regular $7.00 play line and the Pastry line. I didn't even buy the Pastry line because I didn't think that having Rev Run's kids name on something warranted it costing more than the average Fashionista.
It's unfortunate that they are overpriced because I love the outfit and styling on each of them. However, there is just not enough stuff in that box for me to pay that price. I bought the 4 pack Barbie play set with the Living Room Set, Bathroom Set, Bedroom Set and Treats to TV Fridge for $25 bucks! Sure, it was on sale and I had an additional coupon, but still.
You can even get this new Paleontologist doll for $13.89 and she has a hat and bones. Come on!
At least this Liv clothing pack has been marked down. They had over 10 packs so hopefully if I go back next week they will have done their double markdown and I can get it even cheaper.
Tsk. $24.39. You crazy.
I totally agree! They have lost their minds with that price. Love the Paleontologist doll!
ReplyDeleteHello from Spain: I like to see the boxes to me of dolls that you can buy by your country. The SIS enchant all to me because in Spain no of that collection is sold. A pain!. Very good its buys the clothes of the LIV very cheap and. I am wishing to see your 4 pack Barbie play Seth with the Living Room Seth, Bathroom Seth, Bedroom Seth and Treats to TV Fridge. I see that by your stores he is everything very cheap. In Spain only a pack is worth on 25 Euros. He is all quite expensive one here. I like very much Paleontologist doll. That doll will send in Spain on Spring 2012. I willl buy her. We follow in contact of blog blog
ReplyDeleteI Agree, I like the outfits but not the price. I was hoping for an articuated AA male but my hopes are dashed!
ReplyDeleteI had the same reaction when I saw them. I have since been led to believe that Target has those dolls miscoded hence the wrong price is coming up. I got this information from someone on Flickr, who stated that Stacy McBride Irby had the same problem when she went to Target to buy them. According to the Flickr person, she didn't buy them either. So I am waiting for them to show up in other stores to see what the price is going to be. I am holding my tongue until then.
ReplyDeleteChynadoll, the Paleontologist doll is rocking that outfit. I want it, but I'll wait and see if she goes on sale.
ReplyDeleteMarta, I've already dismantled my 4Pack Barbie set, but I know I have a photo of the original box. When I get a chance, I will find it and post it for you and show you some of the pieces that are still intact.
Ms. Leo, I have been searching for a "reasonbly" priced articulated black male body. Haven't found one yet. I think it's time to do some experimenting. Mwah ha ha.
Vanessa, that is good news and bad news! I will have to adopt a wait and see attitude because I really like those dolls.
Hello again: I am thankful to you that when you have time you show 4Pack Barbie although it is not of the original box. It is for seeing if he is the same that sells in Spain.
ReplyDeleteHey Muff, its purplecandy1997, I'm new to the doll crafting community. I agree that is insane, I got my first edition rocca wear doll for $5, that could just be cause I got mine at big lots but tha is insane!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, Purplecandy! $5 is an excellent price for any doll. I think the cheapest SIS I got was $7.99 and it was the first Trichelle I bought that started me collecting. I have never seen a SIS doll at any of my Big Lots.
DeleteYeah they are rare to find there so I snatched her up! Lol
DeleteWow, I never saw that Paleontologist doll here in the Netherlands, I wish I had her!
ReplyDeleteDailey, I don't know if the Paleontologist doll was not popular or what, but this was the only one I ever saw in the stores.
DeleteWhy wouldn't she be popular, she looks so cool and those fossils are awesome :D
