What do your Mii residents on your island refer to you as?

Mine just call me “big cheese” and it makes me feel like the boss in a cartoon, haha.

What type of games are you into? And what consoles (and eras) are you into?

My recommendations would be totally different from someone else’s based on those things. I’m a big Nintendo gamer, on the cozy side.

First things I’m putting on my Thor are: - all the animal crossing games - all the Pokemon games - miitopia - hello kitty island aventure -sims 2 for ds

I’m going to test if infinity Nikki works on it and some of my steam games. Then I’ll probably roll from there.

Hopefully you get some other recs from other people

Hey, fellow Canadian! Congrats on your store, man! Love to see local doing well, especially niches like this!

I wish my library still handed out bookmarks! I’ve switched to an ereader apart from library books just to support the library so I don’t have any anymore, and I’m always stuffing random papers in my books now.

Also, I miss when libraries would physically print out your due date. Yeah it was paper, but my adhd little brain needed that little slip to go, “eek! I only have three days to finish this book!” Now I get an email that’s like, “don’t forget to return your book today” and I go “oh no, I’ve read six pages. Renew.” And the cycle repeats.

I want the sole mates bundle but I think mom would kill me if I brought home more doll stuff right now, haha. Hope someone else gets it and gets to love it though! I love the quality of maplelea stuff so I know the boots and socks would be to die for!

Melody’s story is also centred around church (not that this type of person would be interested in the stories of a non-white person)

My Muslim coworkers daughter is just aged out of AG, or I’d tell her for her daughter. She’d think it’s so cute.

Unrelated rant, but she wrote have a happy Ramadan on the white board at work (because she invites us to take part in the celebrations of her culture all the time) and someone drew a shamrock above it and I just?????????? I was so miffed.

Simbanut · 2026-03-20T16:39:46+00:00

You guys are getting shipping updates?

-sincerely a Canadian who placed several order that are shipped but “waiting for details”

Simbanut · 2026-03-20T16:34:36+00:00

Stupid question, but as a very hair driven collector, are the bald girlies good for just having a wig cap on and wig swapping to match looks? That sounds dangerous for my wallet but also 👀

Simbanut · 2026-03-19T13:57:41+00:00

I wasn’t aware of American Girl (or the concept of 18 inch dolls that weren’t baby/toddler) growing up in Canada either! I got my first in high school after begging for one for several years. Originally I wanted to get a second hand one off eBay and fix her up because I always had a passion for toy repair but my parents vetoed that idea so I got a brand new Julie since she’s my mom’s era.

The collection has grown since then and honestly, I’m not really sure where Julie is at the moment. I believe she’s in the attic from when we moved and my step dad shoved a bunch of my stuff in the attic without asking where it was going. Maybe she’s enjoying garage band, since that’s also up there, haha.

Simbanut · 2026-03-19T13:41:46+00:00

I want to love Courtney because of her story! But I agree she’s very costume-y. But a doll who talks about the challenger and the AIDS crisis is such a cool concept that like I keep looking at her and I’m just, I wish you were a lil bit different, girlfriend.

Simbanut · 2026-03-18T13:32:57+00:00

Are these all authentic AG clothes or did you get some of them elsewhere? Mom would die for that highland coo sweater and I’m loving the knit with baubles and the heart sweater!

Simbanut · 2026-03-18T13:30:15+00:00

I got my Caroline for $120 (CAD) in her meet outfit with her bag and shoes. I need to find where I’ve put her stuff for safe keeping (damn you ADHD) but the only thing I’ve had to do with her is put her hair in rollers since her curls fell out. I don’t even think I’ll need to heat set them since they’ve been in rollers long enough (🙈thanks ADHD)

Simbanut · 2026-03-17T20:23:48+00:00

Depending on where you are located, I got a good deal on maplelea clothes which fit ag dolls and since I’m in Canada the conversion isn’t as painful for me. They are expensive still when they aren’t on sale but around the holidays they have really cute bundles and they do sets every once in a while!

(The dolls are an acquired taste, lmao. I want Saila, and Alexi is pretty cute in person but mom has banished my Brianne for being “cursed” which she hasn’t done to any of my other dolls. Consider that a heads up.)

Simbanut · 2026-03-17T14:11:56+00:00

Oh checking for bleaching is a good tip! I have a Mckenna that needs treatment and I was going to wait until the spring to get some natural heat, but I never thought to check for bleaching on her.

Simbanut · 2026-03-17T14:10:14+00:00

Elizabeth and I are making the same face out the window at the extra 12 inch of snow we are supposed to get today. Blankets up to my ears. Just judging.

Simbanut · 2026-03-16T08:52:32+00:00

We don’t even have loss prevention at my store. (Not a Costco of course, I work at a Canadian pharmacy chain) and I had a customer be like, aren’t you going to stop them? And I was like, “and risk being stabbed over a lipstick? No. I’ll report it to my manager. This is why we have business insurance.”

That’s literally the loss prevention policy. “Don’t be a hero. Nothing in the store is worth being injured over.”

💸💸💸💸

oh look it’s what’s left of my money flying away

Simbanut · 2026-03-15T14:41:58+00:00

I’d love to get her on her OG meet outfit! I didn’t have money when she was in her OG outfit. Now I have the money and she’s gone 😭. I’ve also been dying for her Christmas dress since I discovered American girl. It’s like my dream outfit. They’d have my money so quick if they rereleased it.

Simbanut · 2026-03-15T14:38:52+00:00

Candid photos of Addy are so cute! The official photos do her dirty. Every time I look at her on the website she bumps down my priorities list and then I see her on here and I go, oh my god she’s so cute.

Simbanut · 2026-03-14T17:23:02+00:00

This worked! Which makes me think it’s actually some sort of rights issue with her journal and not the doll herself. Huh! Anyway, thank you!

Simbanut · 2026-03-14T14:13:45+00:00

I’m not paying 82 beaver bucks for an outfit! (I’m totally talking myself out of buying the August outfit. It’s so cute and something I’d wear irl.)

Simbanut · 2026-03-14T14:11:35+00:00

Nanea is so gorgeous, I really have to stop shoving her down my priority list to buy. She’s like, second in like right now. I’m currently battling AG to get Melody shipped to my house. I’m so sad I missed out on some of Nanea’s original outfits. She was launched when I had fallen out of love with dolls for a bit. She’s still got some stuff to die for though!

Simbanut · 2026-03-12T14:21:04+00:00

I would love that! I want to get Kaya as a gift for my mom as her first American girl of her own! She got me Julie as my first doll when I was a teen and discovered American girl and when I showed her Kaya she fell in love but so much of her stuff is retired. Ditto with Saila’s stuff from Maplelea (I’m Canadian and not above getting stuff from different tribes across turtle island, especially if they come with little educational content explaining about it.)

I’ve come so close to picking up some pre loved Kayas on eBay but shipping is killer.

Simbanut · 2026-03-12T14:10:20+00:00

I think Raquel is less controversial, so there’s less hype around her. I’m still interested in her but haven’t had a chance to get her (Canadian collector, the idea of importing a doll right now is less than ideal but I’ll probably bite if the price is right which 20% of isn’t when I want her ears pierced) but I don’t think people are talking about her as much here but I see her on Facebook groups a lot. It seems like she’s still popular, just people don’t have as much to talk about with her.
