Anyone besides me and @HeadshipRegent have AGs?

As for girls I want? I still have a freakin' list, even if I don't have the room.

American Girl-wise, I want this year's Girl of the Year, Luciana Vega (and she ALMOST came home from Seattle with me, let me tell you internets), I want Kaya'anton'my, and my last truly GRAIL doll I want is Cecile Rey. (I kinda have a deep love of the Sonali facemold). If I ever get caught up financially, I have a plan to make a Create Your Own doll in a dark-skinned Addy mold with a red pixie cut and blue eyes.

Other brand wise, Our Generation put out this GORGEOUS new Beekeeper doll and I fell in love the moment I saw her picture. Here. Gawk in awe. Those freckles!!! Irregardless of space, she's coming home the moment I find her. I also want Maplelea's Saila, cause she's stunning.

I love your doll's names! I don't have any AG dolls, but I have some of their STUFF. If I had unlimited money I'd have every piece of furniture and accessory in the store. I was just really enjoying the Airstream camper, and especially it's outdoor cooking accessories. Some of my doll-collecting friends do have AG dolls, and so we go to the American Girl store a couple times a year. I especially want the typewriter, right now. I think my 1/3 scale archaeologist/author needs it for his desk. Which I also need. So many projects, so little time.

That Airstream is AMAZING. I love it so much. If I only had the room...

Also, Nanea's shave ice stand is adorable.

My daughters have them, and I live vicariously through them and buy all the things.  Thankfully, my husband doesn't complain.

I’m not a doll collector, but I have an our generation doll for sewing purposes - friend’s daughter, has one so I check sizes and fit on mine before sending clothes for the doll (with matching outfits for the person). My Pinterest is creaking at the seams because I’ve pinned so much stuff for 18” dolls!

I know it's been FOREVER since anyone posted here, but I figured I'd necropost this thread because...

I have TWO American Girl dolls on the way!

This past weekend I got to hang out with my friends again finally, and we masked up and went to the American Girl store. I was good and did NOT buy anything, but everyone else did, including two of them buying dolls. I kept saying "I really want one, but I don't $110 want one right now..." 

Then I went on shopgoodwill.com and there are tons there. So for just over $80 shipped I have Julie and one other I can't ID yet on the way to me, plus some clothing that comes with them. It includes Julie's outfit with the flared two-tone jeans and peasant top! 

I really like Julie as-is, I think. The other one I couldn't get a good enough look at but she seems cute. Unless she's stunning in person (or somebody rare, which is unlikely) I'm thinking I might try customizing her. I'm looking forward to having them around to dress and display, since the resin dolls are kept away from light behind curtains.

Turns out I got Julie and Nicki! They need a scrub and Nicki’s hair is a bit rough on the ends, but they are in very good condition for used played-with dolls!
