never give your little sister play the doll. escpecially if you have a dog. my mom made me let my sister to play with the bloom singing doll i got. and she left it outside. and my dog chewed her up! i was so mad. i couldn't do nothing to rescue bloom. so i had to throw her away. but i still have her stand.

tecnas voice is pretty weird on the singsational dolls, that sucks what happened to your doll! If that happened to one of mine, I would probably cry, just because most of my dolls came from ebay and are not easy to find, or I did get them in a store and they are very rare now and would be hard to replace!

I know what you mean! For my sister's birthday I bought her a Bloom enchantix doll and I also bought myself the Tecna enchantix doll (combined package deal) on ebay. I got them each for around $24, now, they're like $38, and shipping is horrible! I think if one were ever to get totally destroyed, I wouldn't even dare to replace them... way too much money. And I thought that people would be more generous with pricing around Christmas...I guess I was wrong....

yeah, the people know though that people want the dolls a lot for a christmas present (like little girls who expect santa to bring them a winx doll) and decide they can make a lot of money by making the prices super high. I still want the bloom tecna layla and flora enchantix dolls, but I don't know if I will ever get them because they are so pricey on ebay and thats the only place to get them!

I was trying to find the Stella enchantix doll for my sister (it was at the top of her Christmas list), but I couldn't find any within a reasonable price range (I did find another winx doll, but I payed double for it then what it would have been priced at a store.)

i agree with you about being cheaper on summer. but its still going to be pretty high for me. and your right the dolls i have found on e-bays are from canada. they probably do take advantage on us.

yeah most the enchatnix ones are from canada, and that means it shouldn't be so much shipping, but the price of the actual doll makes up for the shipping of it. I would already have the rest of the enchantix dolls if they weren't so expensive, or be getting one for christmas if it wasn't so expensive but I'm not, and I don't know if I will be getting the other enchantix dolls now.

Shipping is awful. It's almost nearly the same price as the doll itself....wait... now that the enchantix dolls are around $38, I take that back. The shipping is about half of that, which sometimes mean you spend over $50 on one doll o_O That's not worth it.
