Help Please - Limited Edition Dolls, When to Buy?
Hello all! I'm new to this forum and new to Disney LE dolls.
So new that I sadly missed both Elsa dolls (the most recent one by a week!). So unfortunately I must resort to Ebay and similar sites to find them, but I had a question that I was hoping someone could help me with.
When is the best time to buy limited edition dolls? (assuming you're unable to buy them for the original sale price, of course)
Obviously the fewer the dolls, the more expensive they are, but it seems like the Frozen dolls are much more expensive than you would expect given their number. Is that just because they're new? Would you expect the prices to go down after some time? Or would you expect them to stay much higher than other dolls due to popularity? Do you think the current prices (~$1000 for Snow Queen Elsa and ~$400 for Coronation Elsa on Ebay) will remain relatively stable? I know the newest LE dolls have only been pre-ordered. Would you expect the price to drop once they have been delivered? Or since they're coming out the same time as the movie, will there be a spike in popularity causing the price to go up again?
Any help in figuring out the limited edition doll market, particularly Elsa, would be greatly appreciated.
And I'll definitely be watching for upcoming LE dolls much more closely now that I'm aware of them! Don't want to go through this again!
