So I was grocery shopping at Walmart the other day, and I peeked in the toy section to see if they had Cupid. In the completely empty MH section, there was a sign that said "due to inventory issues, we will not be carrying the Sweet 1600 Cupid Monster High doll".
I was completely devastated when I read the message. I want Cupid so badly!! But that's not the worst of it. I checked the MH thread on the MLP Arena today and someone else, located in a different state, was complaining about how her Walmart had the very same message posted!!! And yet another person mentioned it as well.
What's the use of Walmart having an exclusive doll if they aren't even getting her in?? I don't understand it. I'm so upset. I can't buy her online, I've seen too many wonky-eyed dolls with lipstick printed off their lips to do that. I'd need to pick out the doll myself in person or get another picky collector to select one for me. But she's just so sparse. I was really looking forward to getting her, and now I'm not sure I ever will.

That is insane! Maybe she'll be available in other stores soon though, maybe after Valentine's Day? Toralei was supposed to be a Tesco exclusive in the UK but after a month she was available in all the usual stores that stock Monster High. Hopefully that'll be the case here. I haven't seen a single Cupid or I'd be willing to pick out a good quality one for you

I still haven't seen her, but if I do I'll grab you one! I haven't seen much of ANYTHING lately. I'm lucky to find more than a couple of Sweet 1600 dolls anywhere I go. [the sound of me forever kicking myself for not grabbing a DotD Deuce the ONE time I saw him]
Are the scalpers just grabbing everything the second it hits shelves?

Thanks for the sympathy/empathy. I have pretty much given up ever finding her. Collecting store exclusives is so freaking frustrating. :<
I don't know if it's scalpers or low supplies and distribution that's to blame. Probably both, as is the case with Signature Abbey. I've heard that the box Cupid comes in is ONLY Cupid, so that's 6 Cupids per box. Maybe there's a very limited amount of Cupids and Walmart can only order 1 box at a time? I've never laid eyes on Cupid myself, ever, and I live near 4 different Walmarts. :/
