I have been selling off my entire collection because I am strapped for cash and once all is said and done, I just want to get the hard to find dolls and resell them elsewhere. I know it's all part of Mattel's grand design, this is where they make money now. The play line is horrible quality, nothing like what I played with as a kid, and it seems to keep getting worse. I'm pretty much done with collecting, I can't wait to get rid of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-71484876355819101062011-05-26T17:02:28.095-04:002011-05-26T17:02:28.095-04:00Anonymous: I realize that it can be sold for a pre...Anonymous: I realize that it can be sold for a premium. I did that with the Cher platinum and a few others. I didn't try for this one but I read that there were horrible issues with the sale with slow server and dropped orders.

It's not so much about the doll, it's the limited availability. Medusa is worth 10 times what I paid for it because it is so hard to find.

I wish they would give us a clear, real picture of the production doll.

This one is boring without a doubt.<br />There is nothing remarkable about any of the releases last year or this one.<br />You're correct, the pricing is ridiculous - why can't we get this platinum label for no more than 39.95 max?<br />For me personally - this doll is no better than any Pink Label doll in TRU or Target.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-7061873506996158782011-05-18T15:31:52.383-04:002011-05-18T15:31:52.383-04:00$85 is outrageous!
