Other stores that had already opened for the day flatly announced that they had "sold out" within moments of opening doors. All dolls are sold on a first come first serve basis, no shipping. The next best bet for those salivating over the doll is online @ barbiecollector.com when their quantity is released.

i have been hearing the same thing all morning!

Just FYI, the reason so many stores have gotten such limited quantities of dolls for public sale is because the artists are allowed to reserve the dolls prior to being released to the public.
At the store closest to me, 18 dolls were there, 11 of them were saved for artists and managers. The rest were sold to the public. Of the 7 sold to the "public" two were sold to artists who'd already purchased their own and were now purchasing for someone else.

Interesting.

I noticed that too when I went to my local store this morning--they allowed employees and friends of employees to jump ahead in the line and purchase the Barbie before any of us got in--even delayed the 10am opening of the store for a bit just to accommodate these people.

The store manager said that whatever number of dolls a store gets half is for employees and the other half for the general public----nice to know after waiting in line for two hours

Oh and to the person who held the spot in line for your four friends to show up minutes before the store opened.....never mind I would be banned if I wrote what I would like to do to you.

I can't believe getting the doll is THIS crazy. Truly didn't think that Barbie was going to be *this* popular.

I went to my freestanding store the minute it opened when Raquel launched, and the store did not have ANYONE for an hour.

I didn't bother to go today, knowing it must be crowded, but I called just to see if they had any dolls. The entire store sounded completely crowded, and she told me people are lining up outside the store waiting to get a doll.

This is madness!! I really hope if I go later I can atleast get a lipstick and a couple eyeshadows for B2M. :p
