Future Barbie doll preview privy to online shop owners, before Barbie Club Members.

[DIOMEDIS]

I have been a Barbie Club Member since the last issue of Barbie Bazaar magazine and the one gripe I have with Barbie collector is this: I just found out about Barbie 2013 BFMC Mermaid Gown Barbie doll at another online doll shop. What the Fudge!  Future Barbie  doll preview  privy to online shop owners, before Barbie Club Members; I didn’t even find the doll on community forum Sneak Peeks discussion, Go figure, seriously annoying. Please explain why online shop owners receive future Barbie dolls releases before your paying Barbie Club members?

We're sorry that you missed the Sneaks of this doll, which were posted on the BFC over a month ago, on 1/22/13, in the Sneak Forum here - http://www.barbiecollector.com/forums?plckForumPage=ForumDiscussion&plckDiscussionId=Cat%3aSpecialty+ForumsForum%3abc_forumid_375109Discussion%3a531530fa-20c6-4c09-8ffa-2a823b8a4a1a

 

There are usually lengthy discussions in the Modern Forum when new dolls are Sneaked, as is the case with this lovely lady, here: http://www.barbiecollector.com/forums?plckForumPage=ForumDiscussion&plckDiscussionId=Cat%3aGeneral+DiscussionForum%3abc_forumid_711103Discussion%3ad6d67da9-e6f0-4944-bfce-38bfa5d4a008 , so hopefully if you have a chance to spend more time on the forums, you'll see these discussions and add your thoughts.

 

Dealers often get preliminary information on dolls since they have to place their orders many months in advance, and will post information on their sites per their dealer agreement with Mattel.  The only Sneaks that BFC members are assured of seeing first are BC/BFC-exclusive dolls.
