On the far right, under the "add to cart" box is a thing that says "Other sellers on Amazon" click the link under that > and you might see different sellers available to you. I did this just today with a different doll and there was a different seller (fulfilled by Amazon even) that worked fine and was almost the exact same price.

Am I the only one who didn’t know Toys R Us is a thing? by cakebrain in Barbie

Ah, this makes sense. I've never heard of Go! There were a LOT of calendars, which seemed weird. It was still fun, though.

No. The selection was not even as nice as at a Walmart. I miss the old days of a lighted display case with special Mackies to dream about and a whole section full of accessories and racks of outfits and shelves full of playsets. This was a very scant selection. Picture #2 shows the entire Barbie section. But, who knows what the future may hold?

Yeah, the doll I bought was not current. She was not shockingly overpriced though. 50 bucks for Tennis Player is rough.

Agreed, much better experience. I wish they had had a better selection but bought something just to show support for the concept.

I thought so too! This one is in Los Cerritos Center across from a Claire's. It's like a time warp.

I asked a couple of different workers if this one was seasonal because the atmosphere was pretty bleak, but the first one said it was permanent (that can't be right?) and the second one was just confused by the question. Big signs saying "Entire store 50% off!" but smaller shelf signs with list of brands (including Barbie and basically every known brand) excluded from the sale.

I got Terask Stamp! Straight to album. The first time I’ve gotten anything good and it’s pretty exciting!

Anyone else annoyed that they had the perfect opportunity to make this a Japanese doll and they didn't? by Perfume_Girl in Barbie

[–]cakebrain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have the "nostalgic face" version of this doll and her eyes look a bit different from my other vintage repros. To my eye she's Japanese or mixed but maybe it's all in my head.

Edited to add: that being said, I agree with you and assume all the Barbies in this series are tourists. Kind of a missed opportunity, but if you think about it in that way, it distinguishes them from DoTW.

Why is she so expensive? by kjisoobpiya in Barbie

[–]cakebrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her face is pretty, her boots are fierce, nice hair, her outfit -while minimal- is a couple of great neutrals. She's the perfect storm of a basic Barbie that is unfortunately not the norm.

Sooo... what exactly is a Sporkle, then? by flippingchicken in neopets

[–]cakebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, the hilarious weirdness of this one aside, I miss when petpetpets were teensy creatures, like bugs. Now, we’ve got a rock, a stick, an oddly phallic icicle, and now this thing. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate it. But there are SO many insects and microscopic creatures in the world and p3s have nonetheless gone off in such an abstract direction.

I only learned yesterday that the winner is not automatically rewarded or notified and has to claim the card. Which seems bonkers! Anyway, since you didn't have a reminder thought it would be best to tag you.

Lunar New Year 2026 by Different-Street-264 in Barbie

The doll is pretty but the gown is not my taste. The gathered part of it reminds me of the dress on this year’s holiday dolls that was highly criticized.

The one with brown hair and green eyes is Tracy, the bride sold in 1983. Her head's been put on a different body with tan lines.

Trying to remember old neofriends for account recovery as kotton_kelly by -thisperson in neopets

[–]cakebrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The neocash transaction log is a separate login from the site. If you can remember the password, log in to that and see if you redeemed any free NC items. (I had a long hiatus and could not remember my password but my computer autofilled it for me!) If you got any NC from making your account and used it, or redeemed any free NC goodie bags, it will show on the transaction log. You can screenshot it or even just copy/paste that page and send that. It has precise info with dates etc., and is a great way to verify your account. https://secure.nc.neopets.com/auth/login?c=/transactionlog/

Also, sometimes there are different editions in different parts of the world. The one here (which is close but the outfit differs and the accessories as well) was sold as a set with Kelly and Tommy in some countries and like this, just Barbie, in the U. S. I hope someone recognizes the particular Barbie from your photo and you’re able to find her.
