This week I've been spending the afternoons with someone since she is on Spring Break. Of course, we always love new Barbie clothes, and even that can get expensive. So usually, the outfits are made of balloons or socks. We use our imagination a lot while playing Barbies and of course, the wonderful stories we create.
I also went on a Barbie hunt last Friday at ROSS. I came across a facemold I had never seen before. The package had been retaped and looked rather sad. Although, the doll was OK and I liked her outfit with the cutest boots! Later, when I got home, I realized someone had switched heads on this doll. I don't think they did it in the store. Possibly, they bought the Teresa Barbie, got home, made the swap, and brought it back to get their money back because she was similar to the Teresa.
This head-swapping even affects thrift stores. Usually, you just find all sorts of dolls in the bin, but now they are packaged up, usually, by two, and you might pay anywhere from four to eight bucks. In some cases if the doll in rare, fourteen bucks or so. In most cases, you might end up with a doll you didn't want.
At Goodwill, you have to go to their website if you want to buy Barbies.
