They have a blue Barbie?! Does Toys R Us carry this? That's pretty cool.

I've seen it at Target before...I think they may be kind of common. Or a lot are left on the shelves because they look dead...

The pink one is kind of pretty, lol. Walmart had them too. I know they only cost about 6 or 7 bucks because I tried to talk Dakota into buying one with her allowance money and she only gets 7 dollars.

I guess I need to check the Barbie isle a bit closer! My daughter is just 2 and still a bit young for them, but I'm impatiently waiting for her to take an interest...

Kaili said, "I saw the blue one...I thought it kind of looked like a corpse of a Barbie. Creepy."

I have to agree. I had 2 Dr's appts. this AM and afterwards stopped at the only Kmart left in our area and they had the 3 Fairy topia fairies, the blue one looks really sick. They were $9.99 there.

Landi, even though I've just now bought a few more I still have quite a few I'd like to get rid of, LOL! Have to get back to work on that list....

Hi all,
My good friend who really needs to go into a rest home (he lives across the street) had to go to the hospital this AM and I went over to the ER to see how he was doing, then went by my moms and on the way home stopped at the thrift store.

They had a lot more Barbies (still in the box) mostly from the mid to late 90's. I bought 6 Dolls of the World. Only one of them I didn't have so now I have an extra India Barbie, Japanese Barbie, Arctic Barbie, Russian Barbie and French Barbie.

Landi you interested in this line?

I talked to a friend of mine tonight and someone had told her about the Barbie's at the thrift store. She went in about 5:30 and bought every one they had! She is a REAL collector, some dolls she has as many as 3 of them. She also collects all kinds of other stuff and has it nicely arranged in her house.

I checked out the blue Barbie at Target today. Showed it to my 2 year old and asked: what's that? She says "Halloween!" Needless-to-say, we didn't buy her. Maybe when she goes on clearance...

Pamy, I'm not sure but I think the Mattel thing that just opened here is just a huge warehouse, shipping center. I'll check to be sure though.

Wow! Looks like you found some great buys Pamy. I haven't had time to check on the Mattel store here as yet. My friend came home from the hospital Thur. late afternoon and I spent several hours both Fri. & Sat. and so far 3 hrs today taking care of him!!!!! I feel like his family has put most of the responsibility on me! His son is supposed to either take him to the VA hospital tomorrow (he's registered there but never been a patient there) or get him into a nursing home so he can get the 24 hr care he needs to get back on his feet.
I'll check out the Mattel outlet asap!

Hi Pamy, I would love to meet you at the Mattel outlet here in town. It's so nice if we can have one this close. I never got to the one down where ever it is????

I have a lady friend here in town who is a HUGE Barbie collector, she buys quite a few of the expensive ones and sometimes 2 or 3 of them! She still thinks they go up so much in value...little does she know. You check on eBay and it's hard to get what you paid for them if you paid full price when they were first released.

She reminded me this afternoon that she wanted me to look up the Cruella De Vil dolls for a value on them. I checked Joe Blitman's page and he's asking $50 for the one in pinstripes and $175 for the one in red! So I checked eBay and right now some are down around $10 if they even have a bid at that!!!!

Is "That Girl" one that looks like Marlo Thomas? It looks like it does in the picture. I loved her show when it was on.
