RPB, we were in the same boat. Was not going to buy our daughter one.

We finally caved and 2 years later she still loves it. Check Craigslist for clothes and all the other stuff. The doll we bought new but just about everything else has been used off of Ebay or Craigslist.

When I first heard of the American Girl scam, my best friend told me how lucky I was. That was right after I gave my goddaughter $75 toward an American Girl outing about 9-10 years ago.

Of course the last laugh was on me as soon as my sons then promptly went nuts for the latest PS3/XBox crap.

I was just being a smart ass. I have a daughter, but luckily she wasn't into dolls. She loves animals, so we have lots of pets.

I feel very fortunate that my daughter has never expressed any interest in these ridiculous American Girl dolls and seems content to play with good old fashioned Barbies.

idk go for it. My daughters loved theirs. Probably what they loved/remember more was the going to the store with my mom and that woman that won't leave me.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

When you have a son, you have to worry about one dick. When you have a daughter, you have to worry about all of them.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

One of my friends took her niece who was about six or seven at the time to the American Girl store downtown. They were looking at all the dolls. I guess each doll has a backstory or some shit. Is that right? Anyway, the kid is biracial so her aunt figured she might like a doll that looked like her. They had looked at all the dolls and my friend was steering her toward a certain one, but the kid was protesting. Finally, she yelled at the top of her lungs, "NO AUNTIE DAWN!!!!! I WANT THE JOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

i think any doll that teaches a woman to cook clean and suck you off at age 3 is an awesome doll. $250? thats nothing when it gets you off multiple times

Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had... but so did another man.

As I rained blows upon him, I realized, there had to be another way.

The American Girls dolls are not only well made dolls with top notch clothing, they actually help educate girls. They come with a story about the girl they represent. Many are from the 1800's and kids learn about how/when the character they represent came to America. They learn about how some kids were forced to work, before labor laws prohibited such exploitation. It's really pretty educational, besides the dolls being of higher quality. My Daughter has 5-6 of them and she will probably keep them for her children and grandchildren. Samantha was her first, Kirsten and Nellie came after Samantha. The last doll she got was Addy, who was a black slave, who escaped a plantation in North Carolina. Each doll comes with a book that tells the story of that girl and the stories are really quite good.

You allow the Addy doll in the house ? Or is she a field worker for you?

I just asked my daughter- we did buy her one (Kit), when she was in third grade. That was too late, according to her, the doll-playing-with stage is more like Kindergarten. Hers is now in the box, played with for about a year. She regrets choosing the doll with short hair- she lacks a styling activity

The answer to the original question is yes.

The dolls belong to her, not me.

Dude, just buy her the doll.

Pretty much concur. There's so much worse shit out there for her to get involved with.
