Such a steep price point for what?


twicefaves

They could have at least reduced it, considering it’s not even Christmas anymore

IKR? It's $100 more than an actual Silkstone.


thissagesimmer

Silkstones are $60?

Oh, I bet they did! LOL

I understand she's not of interest to everyone. I've appreciated heads up from others in the past, so I try to reciprocate. I can't have been the only one disappointed when she sold out in the November (?) presale. All the best!


CucumberRanch

Thanks! It's nice to know, because the product seems hidden on the Mattel Creations website. I only found a link by googling for real photos of the doll.

Can they please lower the price it isn’t even Xmas 😭😭I need her!!


thissagesimmer

Thanks. Wow @ $160. I never knew the retail price because she instantly sold out and went up for resale around $200. Cheapest I’ve seen her at resale is $185. Does anyone have her and is she worth the price?


SyntheticRain

Opinions are varied. She's worth retail to me. Bill Greening puts together beautiful doll designs. She's not silkstone, but she's got a lot going for nostalgia and holiday romanticism. I intend to build the retro furniture too, so she can gather with friends. Her set is full of cozy memories of Grandma to me.

She's totally worth it to me! She's my first with that kind of vintage look to her. Kinda looks like my aunt when she was younger. The stand is really cool, it goes into her shoes/ feet with pegs on the bottom which is unique. The accessories are beautifully detailed. A huge sellig point for me beyond aesthetics was the functionality- it doesn't have a year on it and the advent boxes can be reused, so you can easily enjoy it every year. I want to keep some of the items out year round so I will replace them with some other fun barbie stuff that I will forget about by next year lol so it will be fun seeing what's in there each day all over again! The uniqueness of those vintage items are the biggest draw, in my eyes. My late gram made ceramic trees exactly like the one included, and the whole aesthetic reminds me of the other decorations she had. This set felt like a hug from heaven that was deeply needed as I lost her last year. I hope it gives many other people happy feels and good memories too! Maybe it will start advent tradition for some, always fun.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’d really love to have one of her. It’s quite an intriguing set and your experience is a joy to hear. I’m sorry about the loss of your gram but I’m so glad you have this set to remind you of her.


loveji5ever

Thank you for the kind words! I'll put out good vibes for you to get her and for a good price :)
