Here is new info:

Alexbabs: "Anyways, I just got word that not only is Novi Stars NOT discontinued, but MGA is currently in the process of launching them in more international markets too, hoping to achieve the same success as the Moxie Girlz, which do really well overseas but not so well in the States :) Novi Stars marketing also verified with the Customer Service head that the original email from BH is actually a fake! I haven’t used their CS, but apparently a real email wouldn’t look like this and should have a tracking number."

There is so much rumors that we can´t be sure what´s true or not but I really, really hope this is the real explanation. Novi stars is my favorite collection and I don´t want it to end  :cry:

Wow- interesting!  I am actually a little surprised Novi Stars are doing so much better on the international market when they are so dang expensive.  But maybe that's the explanation...

Rimmu: Where do you buy your Novis? Not here in Finland surely?

I was a bit sceptical about the email at first, but then took it at face value, because nobody seemed to question it and no evidence to the contrary surfaces.

I just got my Ari on Tuesday and deboxed her only to notice then that her other antennae was broken. It wasn't in the box, so she came broken. :(! Now I can't even return her, because she has been opened. Bleh, but it's OK, I like her anyway, although the smell is too much for me.

I have bought all my Novis from US. Finnish price is so high.. I got 3 Orbit beach dolls, Tula and Malie all together for 40 dollars from Target clearance with help from lovely Arena member. With that 40 dollars, I couldn´t get even 1 Novi from Finland! How crazy is that :shocked:

I just picked up my first Novi, Una from Goodwill this week.  I didn't think I'd like them so much but I really adore her!

:cry: No :cry:

I can't even find a store that carries them anymore!  Michigan must HATE these cute little aliens XD

BUT I should say it seems my stores are going through really sloppy resets :huh:  If I wasn't so smart (:rolleyes:) I would think they were set........but I can tell something isn't quite right.  I'm hoping when the dust settles Novis will have at least ONE facing on a shelf somewhere!
I won't be checking this site anymore for messages.  If you need me, you can contact me at the MHArena :bigups:

I'm glad to hear they are going to keep making them!
Why would someone fake an email saying  they would be discontinued? That's pretty wicked.  :huh:

I think they really did hear something about them being discontinued but it was just hearsay and they made the email so they would be believed since everyone is so skeptic. A lot of their "news" comes from reading online British toy industry magazines and trolling Amazon for hidden listings.

Ina Ferna was meant to arrive today as well, but she's a no show - hopefully she isn't too delayed. I also have Mimi Merize incoming, so now it's just a hunt for Vera and to decide if I want the Steller Skinz or not.

Phew. I don't know what to believe about the possible discontinuation/not discontinuation of this line. They certainly don't seem to be selling well over here, from what I can tell.
