The store on Hennepin in Uptown should have them tomorrow, I called on Saturday. Might want to call again just to be sure though.

I just called my nearest freestanding store and she said that they got such limited quantities that the MA's are NOT allowed to purchase the dolls. I will be at the store at 9 am tomorrow to get mine as apparently they got very limited quanities...

With the level of HYPE that MACfinally (clued into) and perpetuated - effectively utilizing "leaks" to drive everyone into a collector's frenzy - you think they would have made enough to go around. I really think the practice of pre-order gives companies a good ball park to go by, and satisfies customer demand. I loathe the false economy of "limited release" and resent being manipulated in this way.

That being said, I could care less about the peripherals on this collection, and really only care about two of the shadow colours. However, if this had been "Hello Kitty Loves MAC" I would be gnashing my teeth with frustration!

If there are any dolls left at my counter by the time I get there, I will definitely pick one up.

I sure hope they are going to continue releasing high demand items until the demand dies down. Being sold out on the site, by the time I got up at 7:00 (-8 GMT), is more than ridiculous.

/rant.

p.s. LOVE the eyeshadow colors - am buying three (already ordered the green)

I just called MAC CS and they told me my Barbie didn't go through but that they are getting more on backorder tomorrow, so they can process it tomorrow. She said the Barbies will be back on the site tomorrow so others can order them. I hope she is not misinformed. I think their site is screwy cuz she said i didnt place my order till 9:21 this morning when my confirmation says it was placed at 12:32am. Also she meant to put me on hold but somehow didn't and some dude asked her a question and she said "hold on, I'm dealing with a crazy lady!" what a snatch! but whatever, i wasnt even being rude I just wanted to figure out when i can get my Barbie!

Hmm, that's really odd. I just checked my email confirmation and they only charged me $20 as well. And I checked my bank account and they already sent the charge through at that price. What's up with them jacking up the price after the fact? They're having some serious issues at MAC online.

i'm hoping this will be a repeat of what happened with the Danse MSF's.. they were "sold out" on the website within a few hours, but showed up for sale again. (i think the next day.. not 100% on the exact time frame.)

**crosses fingers**

The CS I talked to told me they weren't going to get anymore in, and that I'd have to check the stores.

That is pretty much what they told me too.

Ok, so if they do release more dolls tomorrow, do they fill the backorders or are backorders cancelled?????

 

[franimal]

The lady told me that backorders are filled and that the rest of my order will not be processed until they can get more Barbies to complete the order. I did think that was weird though.

I never wanted a doll, but I really feel for those of you who did/do, and won't be getting one. It must be especially annoying if you thought you had gotten one before they were gone, only to find out otherwise.
Remember a few months ago, when we were considering whether or not a Barbie/MAC venture was an appealing idea?

Seems like a long time ago, doesn't it?

 

[Tash]

I just talked to MAC. There will be NO MORE Barbie's online AT ALL. Only in Freestanding and Pro Stores.

The lady said that they wouldn't be getting anymore since they were only given so many to sell online. Once they sold out online, that was it. That's why she told me to check with stores. I dunno. Right now, I just want my makeup to come in!

 

[Jennybella]

I am so f**king livid right now.. I ordered the doll at 1:30 AN HOUR AND THRITY F**KING MINUTES AFTER IT GOT TO THE SITE AND IM NOT GETTING IT.. I am so mad.. f**k MAC

//admin edit: i know you are super po'd (and rightfully so), but please remember we have young'uns on the site too

 

[cdaizybug]

I would blame Mattel more so than MAC. They are known for producing dolls in low quanities and making dolls limited edition..creating a frenzy.

"Frenzy" is the right word!
Why am I getting a mental image of burly security guards trying to separate grown women whacking each other with axes, trying to get the last "Barbie Loves MAC" doll?

Of course, I may get out my axe if I start feeling insecure about my "Rocking Chick" lipstick!

 

[Hawkeye]

Hey Jennybella,
I understand you are pretty upset, but that language is not appropriate. There are younger adults on this site that are under 15.
Thanks!
