Melody is up for preorder if you're part of AG Rewards. There's not a huge savings (just the standard $5 you get when you buy the doll and her accessories) but you do get free shipping and she is supposed to arrive BEFORE she's released to the general public. If it were possible to opt out of the dog (sorry, Bo) I'd be more tempted. As it is, I'm still debating. It's just hard to tell what she'll actually look like since the promo pictures seem to show like four different possibilities.
