Good Morning! This is the first year ever that I am sticking to my resolution to get my Christmas shopping done early. I need some help in the Polly Pocket area!

Some have magnets, most don't. Which is the most popular and loved by little ones?

Thanks!

Dee, my 6 yr. old DD (pardon me, 6 and a HALF) loves Pollys. She prefers the regular kind, not the mini teeny ones. She hasn't wanted any magnet ones. She also would say that she likes the ones with plastic hair, not the kind that have yarn-like hair. I would say, the more clothes the set has, the better. For my DD, it's all about the clothes! They are pretty great little toys, occasionally one of the rubbery outfits will rip, but that's about it.

Samantha loves Pollys too. Her favorite is the Pajama Party set. Has lots of clothes -- and a bathrobe! We also found a really cool carrying case for Polly Pockets to keep them from getting all over the place! We got it a Target - if you have one in your area.

Thank you! The Target here has them on sale and I wanted some input before I made the commitment of having to pick up all these little pieces!

Also, EBay has several listed. Is there anything special about the "vintage" ones?

I have no idea, but my guess is if someone collects it and wants to pay premium, they willQ!!

Have you checked out the DIsney Stores? THey have the Princess Polly Pocket - dd 7 (and a half!) loves pollys too - dont ask me I dont get it, i like Barbie!!

DISNEY STORE

Today (July 2 ) is the last day to save an additional 15% which more than covers shipping, and they have their awesome summer sale going on too!!

edit to add they do have the Princess Poly sets, Aurora, Azriel, Tinkerbell, etc... as well as a castle bedroom, and a horse and carraige... all for $9.99

I think that the older polly's were actually something with a clip that you were able to put on your backpack and had the little doll and a little house type thing all in one. (That's thinking way back to my polly days ....) I like the ones they have now better - they make more of a mess but seem more fun for the kids to play with.

Reader, I am going to check that out!

Danas, I think I had something like that once, but my dolls have doll hair...

Thanks for the info!

Reader234, I just wanted to mention that I did buy some of the items on sale from the disney site. During the hurricane when we didn't have power for five days I broke down and gave my daughter one of toys that I had bought for Christmas. As it turned out, it was not in complete working order...it is the Cinderella Castle Disney Park with a train and other moving parts. I emailed Disney and they basically told me "too bad so sad".
