the bad news is i couldnt' find my keys this morning and forgot to call my fiance and tell him... and i made it home before him... so i am locked out of my house the good news... i still get internet access inside the garage and i had my computer with me... and i just bought toralei... she was about $19 after tax.... but i think she'll be worth every penny once she's out of the package. <3 other sort of good news... i got to finally see abbey, spectra, and the skull shores dolls all in person!!!!.... and... i don't need them! i think i'll buy spectra eventually... or maybe even go back tomorrow and get her if she's still there.... but i'm not a fan of gil, and all the other girls i just want to steal their shoes... especially ghoulia's... i also didn't realize how glittery abbey was.... i think after i buy her, eventually, i'll have to remove that glitter... unless someone can convince me otherwise with photos!

No way!! Where did you see them? Are you in the USA? Congrats on your awesome find! I love Torelai!
Abbey...*covets*
I think people where I live get up at 5am and stalk Toys R Us employees until they put out new stock in the morning. No Torelais or Abbeys to be found.

My Toys R' us is BARE too... as is Target and Walmart... i got the tip from someone posted on the MH section at the MLPArena--- ihave to thank her.... found them at Justice. There were 2 spectras, 1 abbey, 2 toralei's (i got both, one for me and one for my kid-sister since it's the only MH doll she wants), and they had multiples of all the skull shores dolls... like 4 or 5 ghoulias, 4 gils, 4 lagoonas... i was pretty stoked to see them all in person... i might go back tomorrow to do more shopping if they are still there...

Is it terrible that taking refuge in the garage, huddling in the warm glow of the internet and talking about Monster High dolls sounds kind of like an exciting adventure to me? Roughin' it! Hang in there soldier. ;D
I also have a problem with wanting certain dolls just so that I can have one or two of their clothing items, haha. I think Abbey's glitter may be mixed in with her plastic/vinyl, and non-removable. I'm not sure though, I've only seen pictures. If I ever actually see her in stores I'll feel like I've found an actual yeti! Sounds like your local stores are a treasure trove. *u*

If I was forced to spend time stranded in a garage that'd be how I'd like to spend it! ;D
Toralei is absolutely worth every penny! Her colour scheme, outfit, purse, shoes...All of it are freakin phenominal in person! I got lucky and an Aussie member over at the arena picked her up for me at cost +shipping! I think I paid $23 for her all together, and she's totally not made me regret her purchase! Her bright colours really stand out in the MH crowd on my shelf!
And I have an Abbey I got online too. And while Abbey is gorgeous, her hands kinda freak me out. I don't mind the glitter! The glitter is actually really soft and shimmery, making her look icey, not as OMGGLITTERFABULOUS as you would expect. If that makes sense...LOL. And her hair...Gorgeous!

My Toys R Us and Targets and Walmarts also have nothing!
Also, thanks for the Justice tip!! EVERYONE GO SWARM YOUR LOCAL JUSTICE STORES. Seriously! I found Toralei, Spectra and all of the Skull Shores dolls at Justice today!! I bought Toralei and SS Gill and SS Abbey. I'm gonna wait on the rest of SS until I know if SS Draculaura will be a set exclusive or not.
Anyway, the SS dolls are listed at the ridiculous price of $24.00 each, but everything in Justice is 40% off right now, so I got them for $15.50 each. Toralei was regular price $30.00 but with the 40% off she's $18.00.

I looked in a Justice on Sunday and didn't see any Monster High stuff--although the place was SWARMING and I didn't have a real thorough look before I retreated to the safety of the mall overworld. My MH eagle eyes are pretty good though, I can usually spot those boxes from miles away. How long is this sale lasting? I wanna have another look. @__@
