EBay
They retire American girl dolls because they nedd to put new dolls out there.Ex:Felicity retired so that Julie and Ivy could come in or Kristen retired so that Caroline could come in. Same witu Samantha with Rebecca. You wouldn't see them if the others did not retire.
The best place for an interested buyer looking for vintage American Girl dolls is the online auctioning site eBay. At eBay, one can find several different vintage American Girl dolls for auction or purchase.
All dolls were sold in 2009 except for Samantha, who retired at the beginning of 2009. Chrissa was the girl of the year (GOTY)
Have you tried Craigslist? Usually American Girl dolls sell fast there. Plus, it's free! :)
She's retired but her name is Gwen. ♥~AGLove
You can purchase used dolls on E bay or Amazon. You can also purchase new dolls or dolls that are retired/archived (historical, old GOTY's) on these sites. Just be careful because if your not ordering directly from American Girl you could be receiving a counterfeit (fake) doll, that's not really American Girl Brand.
Nellie was the Historical Character's Samantha's, best friend. Samantha was one of the first of five American Girl Dolls, including Addy, Molly, Felicity and Kirsten. Once the dolls are out for a while, like other clothes and furniture, they get "retired" because they are old. Since some of the dolls got so old, Felicity and her best friend Emily were "retired" in 2005 to make room for more dolls. Kirsten was retired in 2010. And Samantha was retired in 2009 and obviously, Nellie went with her. Click on the related link to learn more.
The first five American Girl Dolls released were Kirsten, Addy, Felicity, Molly, and Samantha. Obviously, they will be some of the first ones to retire. Kirsten, Samantha, and Felicity have all been retired, along with their clothes, accessories and furniture. I think that some of the next dolls that will be retired are Molly and Addy, and maybe Kit because she is old too. And, obviously, every year the Girl of the Year is retired.
Samantha Parkington, Nellie O'Malley, Kirsten Larson, Felicity Merriman, and Elizabeth Cole.
No, sorry. The only store that carrys American girl dolls is the American girl store.
Kristin and Samantha are now retired because they an make room for new historical character dolls. .
Maplelea feet are slightly longer and narrower than American Girl feet. All Maplelea footwear will fit American Girl dolls, but not all American Girl footwear will fit Maplelea dolls.
