Of course they had to evaluate their prices since they were too low :hmlol:Quote:

Look how many guys had PKE Meters in the $300-400 range before the sale now they're kicking doors wishing they dumped them for less sooner.
Dealing with stuff is a gamble from both sides and some times the buyer wins and some times it's the seller. Just depends.
I also just think buyers jumped on them after the sale on HTS fell through, frankly.
Well yeah $200-230 is going to be cheap I think when all is said and done. This could easily reach the levels of the 1st Monster High Exclusive (B&W Frankie) which now goes for easily $350-600 and it originally cost $25
So she was up on Hasbro for another round of sales then? well that's good news. Any Idea how many more there were available?
I don't want to think it Markatisu, but your probably going to be right. I still kick myself for not getting tokidoki barbie when she was $50 on ebay, now, add another 300 bucks to that amount. This might end up being a pick and choose line for me, I won't be able to afford each doll if they're going to be so limited.
No she has not appeared again yet (that I know of) she showed up for 90 seconds this morning but that was about it.Quote:

They better not be this limited or I'm not going to bother. Hollywood Jem I can live without. If I don't get regular Jem... then I'll pass on everything else.
We can just hope this sale shows the demand and they produce accordingly, especially for the icon that is the standard JEM doll they need to make more than enough
Yeah, I hope so.
I've been refreshing the HTS page every hour on the hour in vain. Sigh. Oh well. I'll try again tomorrow at noon. After that, I'm giving up.
In my experience its always in the morning/lunch hours. Apparently Hasbro employees only work during the most inconvenient times lolQuote:

Sad, but oh well. At least I can give up. I saw each other exclusive come back in stock one by one as I refreshed the main page, but she never did. They must have sold out all of their leftover stock yesterday. They couldn't have had much.
I bet they had 5% which if it was rumored to be 500 total it would have been around 25 dollsQuote:

Putting aside the Hollywood Jem issue...
Was anyone else a bit surprised that they didn't say anything about the first doll in the "real" line? I thought maybe we'd get a first glimpse or expected release date or something...
Didn't they talk about the 1st doll in the doll magazine they were giving away at the Hasbro booth? I thought I heard mention it was going to be one of the MisfitsQuote:

Stevie Wonder could have seen that the first Jem doll in over 20 years would be a hit. It makes you wonder why we haven't seen a Barbie She-Ra in all these years.Quote:

KJEM Radio just found out that approximately 50 Hollywood Jem dolls were made available at the Hasbro Toy Shop web site at the opening of their business. The information of Hollywood Jem’s listing was not made public via Twitter, Facebook, or Hasbro Toy Shop official Web site. Fans who wanted to snag one had to watch the site this morning, but within a couple of minutes Hollywood Jem was completely sold out. According to the certificate that each doll came with in the instruction manual there were only 500 made in total.
Well I'm out for this doll. I'll wait till they do a Pizzazz and call it quits if it's like this each time a new doll is out. Wondering when they'll be put up online and ebay prices, forget it. If I have to save up alot for just one doll, she will be it.
I just read this on jemcon.org, a member who spoke directly to Hasbro said only 430 were made for the con. The other 70 were sold online the other day for those few minutes and are being made. Also no word on any more dolls yet, but they should be less expensive.
So I was close it was 10-15% they held back for the store, stupidly low production run though given the license. The doll maker has made other no-name dolls in higher quantityQuote:

I dont think to many of the " Higher Ups " in the toy world understand how popular JEM is..and the Hub network brought it back to life and added a bunch of new fans.. Plus Dolls are "IN" Right now in the toy world. Monster High, Winx, and many others.Quote:
