disney designer villains ( another fiasco?)

[glenpreece]

I'd prefer it if they weren't LE dolls, I wish the Princesees hadn't been so limited then I could've gotten more.

Watch out for hags offering apples!!!

The Evil Queen is released at select Disney Stores today.

I wonder if we can expect the same turn out as last week for Maleifcent.

[Queenie122]

I don't know, but my daughter is off from school today so I have to take her with me. I'm hoping it's calm like it was last week since she will be with me!

Good luck everyone!

Hmmm...WK #2 and Maleficiant is still available online. @ 13,000 LE looks like supply will meet demand.

Got my Evil Queen doll with no problem our store had enough to supply those who were there. A lot of people brought somebody along to increase their chances but increased the number of names in the "cauldron" so even though there were more names than dolls everybody still got one. A guy even brought along a Princess doll from ;ast year to trade if he didn't get an Evil Queen, but he was about the 3rd named drawn

I got the Queen in store today as well, but I was nervous the whole time! There were 19 dolls available and about 30 people showed at my store. I think I was the 5th name called. There were lots of people showing up with others to increase odds as well. It was interesting to see the men in line who said they were there for their wives lol, so cute.

Other then being worried about not receiving a doll the whole process went smoothly. It was my Second time going to the store to buy these designer dolls, and my first time walking away with one. I think I'll give it a try again for the other villainesses.

My store was surprisingly easy to deal with today. It was my first in-store purchase. There were only 10 people there for 17 dolls so they didn't even do the drawing, just had us sign up, go out to lunch, and when we came back for the drawing they gave us all tags to get her. I have a feeling this will continue to be an easy process with so many dolls made. I kind of miss the mayhem from last time, but I'm glad the ebayers are calming down. Have you seen that Ariel and Aurora are still $300 plus? I wonder if the villain-craze will kick in or if it'll be smooth sailing from here on out. I'm glad my Maleficent has a new friend.

I was lazy today and didn't go to my local Disney Store. Well, I had a doctor's appointment, and since Maleficent went so well I decided I would take my chances with the next two online. I'm just worried about how well Disney handles the shipping of their merchandise... I will not be a happy camper if my doll gets damaged But it's such along drive to the store...

But I have full intentions of going all out again for Ursula, Mother Gothel, and Cruella.

My Maleficent doll arrived in two boxes. The original manufacturer to store box, and then a Disney Store box. She was in perfect condition. I was lucky with the Princesses too. They all arrived the same way.

[glenpreece]

The only others I'm interested in are Ursula and Cruella. I can't go to the store to get Cruella since I leave for WDW that Wed and have to work on Mon. The more I see Ursula the more I want her eventhough she's been slimmed WAY down

[Queenie122]

We had maybe 6 people show up today, way less than showed up last week! And my store STILL had dolls from last week!! Because of that our store was very lax about the whole thing and it was actually kind of annoying, they skipped over the people waiting outside where they told us to wait (4 of us) and just sold the dolls to the people who were inside. They said they checked and didn't see us? I don't know. Anyway, I got mine so I am happy.

I'm still not taking any chances but things are looking pretty good. I will still go back next week even though the store isn't very close. After that I may try ordering them online. I heard the other store in our area was much more crowded than this store and I don't doubt it, it's closer to NYC and definitely has more people to serve.

Thank you so much for the info! I'm now waiting on the Disney Store to make the Evil Queen available for purchase...

So I decided early on that I wasn't going to purchase any of these dolls.

But I guess I talked myself into it.

After seeing that the first doll didn't go as fast as everyone anticipated, I knew I could safely go after the only one I wanted.

I sat in my bedroom contemplating if it was really worth $80. I looked up at my snow white designer doll. She sat pretty next to Cinderella. I then thought to myself how cool it would be if I got the evil queen to sit next to her.

So I ended up buying the evil queen today. Which means I will need to purchase another shelf so cindy can move out into her own place.

Oh man. No regrets, and it was just the thing to get me my disney fix!

Thankfully Cinderella and Belle don't have a villain in the designer doll line...otherwise, my wallet would be hurting much worse!

I pray they don't come out with designer princes...because then I wont be able to resist...

Thanks! Im only getting the evil queen! I have to get the mug and journal as well though, since I have both of those for snow white...and it would be silly not to get them. Once payday comes around, and if they're still on the site, that's what ill do! Disney always finds a way to take my money! Grrrrr!
