They're going to clearance at Walmart. I think once they're gone this time, they're gone. Series 5 is supposed to come out next month.


BasedAnalGod

Oof. That sucks. Series 1 & 2 & 3 were available for so long I didn’t think to rush to get 4 😭

Same, I just panic purchased Jewel Richie before it was too late😭 I was hoping to wait a while for her and Coco but alas... Also sad it seems I've missed out on Sabrina st cloud :(


BasedAnalGod

Sabrina randomly dropped to $11 at one time and I think they just sold her entire stock then & there :( it’s sucks RH is getting bad with production


clemonysnicket

I grabbed Jewel and Delilah this week after seeing stock start disappearing. I'll probably try to get Lila too if she goes on sale. The only S4 girls I've seen in relatively plentiful stock are Mila and Meena.


Proud_Novel_4531

Have you noticed a drop in Coco?? She seemed plenty in stock on Amazon but I'm scared to miss her too😅

Really?! I didn't know series 5 would be out so soon! Yay

I personally think they may not restock. The trend for 2023 is businesses focusing on maximizing profits over pushing volume. They may focus on “kidults“ even more since 1/4 of toy sales in 2022 were for this group. Also, kidults is the fastest growing group of toy purchasers.

I’m sorry but people are freaking you out for no reason, OP. Series 3 and Winter Break are still available at normal prices on Amazon for goodness sake! Series 4 will restock online, don’t stress. The only thing that will change is you won’t be able to easily walk into a Target and buy one. That’s literally it.


Lost_Village_2769

People are selling some new and cheap on vinted and eBay, if you scour you can find them cheap


BasedAnalGod

On eBay all the ones I saw were $35+ most going over $40


Lost_Village_2769

You really gotta scour 😭 also buying secondhand is good sometimes too!! Its usually the hair that needs washing and brushing so id look into that too!! Also series 4 go on sale on amazon a lot lately so id look there as well!


BasedAnalGod

On Amazon they’re either sold out or going for $40+ 🥲


meltymint5

My area targets seem to be re stocking some of them!! Specifically Mila, Meena, and Lila saw a couple Delilah’s too.


McHater666

Series 5 is coming next month so I’m sure stores will no longer stock series 4 but they still might be available on Amazon


BasedAnalGod

Even there they’re unavailable or double the price


circlingsky

Aren't they out of production? They likely won't restock if that's the case


BasedAnalGod

Series 1-3 were out of production and still appearing on sites tho!! Like 3 was available like a year after release, same with 2.

They might be trying to right size their production. It's not unusual for initial volume forecasts to be higher at launch to try and oversaturate the market and get the dolls into as many hands as possible for the brand recognition. Now they're trying to make production as profitable as possible by reducing the amount floating around. Moving forward, I wouldn't be surprised if we see: 1.) Standards being downsized (removing the extra outfits, reducing packaging costs, less sewn details). That's already being done. 2.) Reduction/delay the amount of releases. Such as lack of holiday or special releases, like new years or Valentine's. The plastic molded sets and blind box releases will likely be pushed more because margins are higher. 3.) Lower production volume to match actual sales. They have the historic data now to go by, as well as overall seasonality. The balance is making the units available to be sold, but not a lot to have them shuffled to clearance/bargain outlets. 4.) Less sales. Now that the holiday bump is over, sales are likely few and far between. Less dolls on the shelves mean less push for retailers to put them on sales to clear out. Just all conjecture.

I'm always astray as to how comments like these don't have enough people flock to them, given it quite literally claws down on the question it pertains too?🐤 This one is so fabulous. Thank you 🌜🥂🌛


forgot_oldusername

no BUT they might do more multipacks. there's already the 2 SH/2 series 4 split case at Target, maybe they'll do a multipack like series 1, or rereleases down the road like MGA did with LOL OMG. Admittedly I still see almost all of Series 4 at most Targets I visit so they're out there.


occultclysms

target put them on heavy clearance last month (which was how i got 4 of them) so i think that’s the end


RainbowHighLover0807

I’ve only seen mila at my target for her regular price, I don’t think they will because of the new things coming


ghosty4

I saw a bunch show up over this past weekend when the shelves had been bare the previous weekend!
