I have a huge want list from AG. Some of it is stuff that I will probably hold out on for awhile longer and doesn't feel like it's a major "hurry, buy now!" kind of thing. (Caroline's stuff, for one.) But with the upheaval in Historical Land, I've been eyeballing just about everyone else's collection because you just never know what tricky things Mattel is up to.
Free shipping code actually appeared yesterday (yay!) so I used it this morning to buy a lot of stuff. And the sad thing is, there's a lot more on my To Buy list. Sigh.
First, the thought process.
( This got really long. )
Which wasn't that much more than I was considering spending ($11 more since one of the things I ordered is on back-order). I figure I'll give FS time to put stuff on backorder and then make a second order. I'm pretty satisfied with this one. Historical and GOTY stuff. I'm sending a small list (two items small) with Cass for her weekend stop and both items are MyAG things. (Store pajamas and shorts.)
But the real question will be whether I buy Isabelle's studio or not. I still want it but I'm not looking forward to trying to sell the extra stuff I don't necessarily want (to help offset the price, you see). But the only time I'll be able to buy it is during free shipping because the shipping on that beast is $30. Looks like someone has had some luck selling the sewing machine (he got 60.99) and the dress form (50-something, I think) which would massively off-set the price. But then I'd have to either list on eBay or on a board somewhere. We'll see, we'll see.
Tl;dr version: After much deliberation, I went with Josefina's Feast Day outfit, her Dress & Vest outfit, Addy's Plaid Set, and just about all of Isabelle's separate pieces with the exception of her dance pants and wrap skirt. No, I didn't buy the crop top or theweird funky leggings either, but short of someone gifting me with the crop top, I will probably never own either. (Sometimes I waffle on the leggings.)
Whatever I decide on for a possible second order will depend on whether I can play backorder roulette. (Sometimes this is my favorite part of free shipping.)
I am as giddy as a nine year old at the thought of getting a box of goodies though!
And so this isn't ALL AG, I also bought a steam cleaner because yes. Dad and I were both considering buying one before he died and so in his honor, I will go around steam cleaning stuff and shrieking about my very own flamethrower.
I know, I know, I'm weird as hell.
