I swear, I am gonna stash some of these away, mint in box, not for collectors purposes, but in case I ever have children. xD
I think the MH line will last for a lot longer if they slow down the releases, they seem to be releasing so many dolls recently but the supply and quality cannot be maintained. I think if they pace themselves more they'll last for a couple more years at least.
... i love it when people say they don't trust the store employees ...
stores are very upset about the lack of product and we may very well see a few drop the MH line at least for awhile ... eight feet of emptiness doesn't sell anything, where if you fill it with stuff that IS selling it's a heck of a lot more profitable ...
I've got to agree about the lack of product. All the Wal-Marts here have been out of MH dolls for a month now. And the one KMart I went to had empty shelves too.
a case "here and there" isn't filling the stores' orders for filling eight foot sections that they were promised to be able to keep filled lol
and they would fill it with other product they do have, bratz/liv/moxie/other doll and/or girl toys they have on hand in the back instead of having a gaping hole in their shelves. they would shrink the MH area down to maybe the two or three feet they can keep filled "wigs/clothes/journals" and use the rest for things they have in stock, as in actually stock it there, not just have it full of the random crap that collects there by people just setting it there lol
At this point I can't tell if Mattel is worse, or the stores are worse.Yeah. All the Walmarts out here put Cupid on sale for Valentines. And then they only got 16 dolls. For the ENTIRE Vegas area. So they amended that all the 1600 dolls would be sold for only $20, just like Cupid. Except that, y'know, they didn't have any 1600 dolls. So they had the apology, with the shipment coming on the 17th, and the sale ending the 15th.
Fred Meyers had a sale on Monster High recently. At our Fred Meyers?
They NEVER had the DT, or SS dolls that were on sale in stock.
They now have a note up to apologize and say that they won't be getting them in stock until the 19th, and that they can't offer rain checks, and they're soooo soooorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
They fail to mention in their note that the sale ends on the 17th.
In the entire time the sale ran they never had the dolls in stock.
