I've been feeling a bit put out lately doll wise. Back when it all began I managed to find MH dolls fairly easily and paid £15 each time, usually on Amazon so I got the postage free too. I got so used to it that when Operetta and Nefera were being advertised on Littlewoods, Woolworths and Very I stupidly didn't put my order in. I actually thought I could get them cheaper off Amazon if I waited a bit longer.
Those days are gone I think. I've been getting seriously peeved with all the £50+ Operettas and Neferas online (someone is even selling a Cupid for £200!!) and even more peeved at the people paying those prices and encouraging scalpers.
So imagine my luck when I find Operetta and Nefera being sold on a UK website called 'Kids Play Store', for just £16.99 each! But alas, they were being sold in an assortment, so I'd have no idea which one I was getting. I decided to send them an email, asking nicely if I could pick and choose as there was only a couple of dolls I wanted.
They emailed me back next business day to say they'd split the dolls up on their website so I could order them separately, and indeed they had ;D I ordered Operetta and Nefera pronto, but decided not to go public with my find just yet because it said 10 - 14 days delivery and despite saying there were 5 in stock of each doll I figured the long wait for delivery may mean they don't actually have stock in.
... I checked back today to find the dolls have gone up to £24.99 and have sold out in that time They still have a few Abbeys, but I think Abbey has been a bit easier to find in the UK. She was on the Boots website last time I checked too.
Just got to cross my fingers and hope they do turn up now!
