AG blatherings.
Sep. 20th, 2016 03:15 pmSince Cass won't be here for her after birthday weekend, I think I need to come up with a plan. I mean, sure, I'm still sort of on this weekend but still. Got to plan ahead!
I'm thinking that I should go through my AG stuff and update my lists of haves/wants because I don't fully remember the things I bought last year. Luckily (?), I haven't bought as much this year but I do know that when free shipping hits, I will have a list.
Until I can work up the desire to go digging through things, I think I'll peruse the site and see what's calling my name and what I should double check my closet for.
We go by character/line.
BeForever:
Addy: I'm pretty sure I have everything of Addy's that's still available already. I'm still not sure if I'll wind up with a BF Addy since I prefer her eyebrows and I do want to play with her hair... but Addy feels like she's Cass's and only hers, y'know? We have twins of so many dolls and enjoy it, but Addy feels different. Triple checking the new nightgown, but I'm 99.99999% you get the idea, sure I snagged it when the Addy retirement rumours began in earnest. Maybe the mini will find her way home, maybe not. I'm not a huge fan of the minis, but I do like that dress.
Next free shipping buys: new nightgown if I'm wrong about owning it. Maaaaaaaybe the mini.
Josefina: I'm debating her BF Meet, though it's more of a sale thing, I think, since if I wound up with a Josefina, she'd likely be wearing that. I do like her new outfits (festival and navidad) and I don't think I snagged her new nightgown. I do like her nighttime necessities and I don't think I ever caved and bought Nina. So maybe.
Next free shipping buys: Navidad outfit/Festival Outfit, maybe
Julie: Still want/need her summer skirt set and I think her rollerskates. I dig the NYE outfit and her purple coat, and should Nutmeg go on sale or I need that exact amount to hit free shipping, I'll snag the bunny. I also like the lunchbox set.
Next free shipping buys: Summer skirt set, maybe the NYE outfit.
Kaya: Mebbe the Deerskin outfit, mebbe the LE mini.
Next free shipping buys: maaaaaaaybe the LE mini
Kit: Her radio set is still pretty high on my list, her reporter set is something I don't think I ever bought (check on this, self) and I'm not sure whether I ever got the lunch set. I should probably check ebay for her BF Meet because I do think it's pretty, though it seems skimpy for the price AG is asking.
Next free shipping buys: maybe the reporter or lunch set
Maryellen: This is the part of the list where I get to the stuff I'm most likely to actually pull the trigger on for free shipping. Me's christmas dress, holiday cookie set, and punch set all call to me though I've heard the punch set is scaled very, very weirdly. Like the punch bowl is ridiculously small. I still like her LR set though that'll have to wait for a sale, and probably ditto to the hat/scarf/mittens combo. If the scarf in that set was a real one and not a velco mockery, I'd be more interested. And it turns out I have the crinoline (yay) so floofy dresses are a go.
Next free shipping buys: Me's christmas dress and cookie set.
Melody: Wants in general: Melody herself, her accessories, her pajamas, her Christmas dress and coat, and her travel essentials if they ever go on actual sale. I'm still fence sitting on the play outfit, though I've seen a lot of cute pictures.
Next free shipping buys: Christmas dress and coat, most likely
Rebecca: Man, that jacket for girls is snazzy. Why do you make these not in cute doll form, AG. Why. Anyway, I think the only thing on my definite want list from Rebecca's stuff at the moment is her Bedroom Accessories and that's a sale thing. Oh, and Bex herself.
Next free shipping buys: not free shipping, but sale - Bedroom Accessories
Samantha: If Cass stumbles across her at Costco, I think we all know I'll cave. If she doesn't, I probably won't. Stuff wise, her coat and her accessories, as well as her LE mini. I think I either own everything else or have no major interest in it. I wouldn't say no to the painting set, the hairstyling set, or her travel bag, but of those, only the hairstyling set is super likely and it's been on clearance for awhile now.
Next free shipping buys: coat and hairstyling set, maybe
Lea: Man, I've basically not been at all interested in her since she appeared. I still want that Celebration dress and I lowkey want the Bahia Outfit, but I'm kinda set on everything else.
Next free shipping buys: Celebration dress, maybe Bahia Outfit
So from the land of BeForever, I don't have a lot of immediate wants. Addy's nightgown needs to be double checked, Me's holiday goodies are wants, as are Melody's. Part of this is due to me having snatched things up previously and there not being a ton of new things put out in price points I want.
Lea kinda tanked for me, though I do think the doll is lovely.
Truly Me:
This is, btw, where most of my free shipping shopping will go.
Want Now:
Merry Magenta
Holiday Penguins PJs
Pretty Plaid Shirt
Indigo Bubble Dress
Playful Print Skirt
Hooded Denim Jacket
WS Cupcake Set for Dolls
BB Holiday dress for 2016
Want:
Skeleton Outfit
Enchanting Winter Outfit
Star Quilt Skirt
Purple Play Shorts
Side Cinch Tank
Kitten Sweater (for Saige as Mal)
Ombre Ballet Outfit
Spirit Squad Set (one day)
Sparkle Socks and Leggings
Bitty Baby Snuggly Bear
Double Check?
Golden Sparkle (need reviews, dammit)
Christmas Eve Set (we'll see)
Pretty Plie Ballet Outfit (I think I bought this, but did I really?)
Western Dress, pretty sure I have this
Huh. Not quite as bad as I feared. My complete lack of interest in Lea's stuff probably helped keep the overall list under control, and it doesn't hurt that a lot of the TM things are individual items and not sets.
I didn't include the Wellies because I'm pretty sure that at some point I'm going to hit the TRU and see if we have them. If we do, I'm hoping to not fall in love with everything but I know myself well enough to not make that promise.
I do hope that this year Cass, Jess, and I make it to one of the AG stores to see stuff in person. I'd really like to see Melody's stuff up close and see if my opinions change any.
I'm thinking that I should go through my AG stuff and update my lists of haves/wants because I don't fully remember the things I bought last year. Luckily (?), I haven't bought as much this year but I do know that when free shipping hits, I will have a list.
