ryanreactsLook, let's be honest: $750 (plus shipping, which in this case is at least another $35) for six dolls might be worth it.
I mean, yes, obviously it is a ridiculous amount of imaginary numbers to sacrifice for Something I Can Live Without.
But I really love these dolls. Affordability is literally theonly main reason I do not already have all seven (note: MGA should absolutely make a Damian doll, but that isn't the point of this post).
Mean Girls is one of my favorite movies in the history of ever, and I do always get excited that October Third happens to be one day before my birthday! This year, October Third will be extra special because I will have the Janis doll --- but it would be way more special if I also have the other six dolls (and again, not the point, but please let me pay for a Damian doll! Release him and let me give you money for him!).
And the thing is, these dolls are usually so ridonkulously expensive that, um, $750 for all six (or if you slice that math another way, $125 per doll!) is actually a pretty fair price!
I mean, sure, it IS a bit of an investment --- buuuut, IF work and slash or the scorching blazing dangerous heat of another Death Valley summer do not kill me before then, October Third will be here sort of before I know it (and then the next day I will turn thirty-nine, how bizarre), sooo am I thinking about talking myself into pouring money into this particular set? Yes. I'm not going to decide anything right away, but I am seriously thinking about it. Especially if I can pay with Klarna? Actually, I don't know, it might be worth it to pay full price, especially if I can contact the seller and convince them to ship the six dolls in two pakidges . . .
Like I said, not deciding anything right now.
But just for fun, let's look around at other pricing options!
Since I was fortunate enough to order Janis for such a reasonable price on Amazon dot com (thank you, Lori!), that is where I'll start this search.
Okey dokey, they have some options!
Spring Fling Cady is $70, and Spring Fling Regina is $108.
Amazon does have all four of the other dolls, but listen to these prices.
CADY: $185
REGINA: $408
KAREN & GRETCHEN 2-PACK: $512
So yeah, I could not get all four of these dolls from Amazon for under $750: Cady plus Karen & Gretchen would be $697; or Cady and Regina together would be $590 for two dolls; or all four would be over one thousand!
WOW, they do have Janis! For $55! And Regina for $109! But that's it, only those two!
Entertainment Earth doesn't have any.
I don't feel like scouring the entire Internet for these dolls, so let's just pop back to eBay and see if they have any more ("better"?) deals.
Okey dokey, of course the first result is that set of six for $750 that I can't stop thinking about!
Then what?
Karen & Gretchen two-pack for $300 plus $15 delivery
Cady, Regina, Karen, and Gretchen for $850 plus $60 delilvery
Regina for $220
Karen & Gretchen for $305 plus $11 shipping
And so on and so forth.
So yes, clearly, the more I think about it, the more $750 for six dolls (plus shipping) doesn't sound quite as insane as it could, hmmm?
One of the biggest perks of living in the middle of the desert is that rent is basically free, so I can actually afford it.
I do want to message the seller and ask if they would be willing to ship in two pakidges. Six dolls in one box could be a little tricky.
Alright, message sent! If they agree to two separate shipments, I'm ready to make this investment asap.
Holy fucking what now.
WELL, they got back to me very quickly! They said no.
I don't know, it *is* a good deal, but these dolls are in pretty big boxes individually, so six of them in one box could be a pretty huge box. The kind of annoyingly huge box which would not be such a big deal if I still lived at The Ranch, or if I could stand to drive, and had my own car. Blergh.

(By the way, when you search for "Mean Girls Bratz," one result that Amazon currently shows you right after the three Spring Fling dolls is one non-Mean Girls Bratz doll, Very Merry Sasha, for $16, and I kind of want her because, you know, she'd be perfect if the Plastics ever needed a fifth girl for Jingle Bell Rock. Thanks a lot for that, Amazon! I'm not usually into Bratz, but you got me!)
I don't think Walmart will have any of these dolls, but you never know.WOW, they do have Janis! For $55! And Regina for $109! But that's it, only those two!
