I think I’ve talked about this before but my DD is suddenly obsessed with American Girl Dolls. Her bday is on August 13th, and I’m trying to figure something out for her.
Before I go searching the depths of the interwebs, and I don’t know if this is even a thing, but does anyone have any promo codes? coupons? Accessories they are getting rid of that I can buy off of you?

Your best bet may be to go on a fb buy sell trade groupd specific to AG. People are constantly listing. You can also make a post stating your budget and whay you are looking for and people will respond with what they have. Does she have a doll in mind? |

Discount codes are very, very rare and usually you have to spend quite a bit to get money off. Is she wanting specific AG stuff? My DD has some dolls, but I usually do Target or Walmart for outfits and accessories. I agree that marketplace is your best bet for finding authentic American Girl stuff at a lower price.

I definitely would look second hand. Sometimes there are dolls in great condition (because they last!)
We do the dolls from American Girl but usually accessories/outfits/furniture from Target/Walmart.
DD is 10 and still going strong since about 5 with AG.

The OG dolls and accessories from Target are fabulous and very reasonably priced. DD has the ice cream truck, the kitchen and the laundry room and a couple of dolls. She doesn't know or care that they aren't AG brand but that may not be the case with your DD,

This won't help you for her birthday, but Costco has had Wellie Wishers gift sets the past couple of years around the winter holidays.

sudsy DD1 is passing her AG stuff down to DD2, but DD2 isnt quite as interested as DD1 was. That said, we will be going through our stuff and I’m happy to pass anything DD2 will part with to your DD. We have a mix of AG and OG (Target brand) accessories. We are out of town at the moment but I’m confident we can get stuff shipped in time for her birthday. PM me your address please.

Accessories they are getting rid of that I can buy off of you? The Target line is awesome and completely comparable, and makes up the majority of our collection. Also, check FB mkt, I see them for sale all the time. |

The only thing that is not 100% comparable is the shoes. OG shoes fit different than AG. Also, Costco sometines carries AG items for cheaper. |

Another recommendation for the Target OG stuff. FYI if you do go that route Target circle currently has $10 off $50 toy purchase that expires today. They have deals like that at least a few times throughout the year too.

Kohls will have the Wellie Wisher line and accessories on sale sometimes. I’ve also ordered clothes from Amazon for the Wellie Wisher dolls.

sudsyIt doesn’t end. She still loves all the bitty baby dolls too. She is picky with dolls probably because her first was my old childhood one. She never liked other brands as much for dolls. Same with baby dolls. All the “stuff” though we’re interchangeable.

On the fb groups I see a lot of complaints that the wellies wisher legs break. I've been tempted by them but have never bought one for that reason. We do American Girl dolls and clothes and accessories from target. I think the difference is there in quality between the AG vs target dolls, particularly the wig and eyes. That said, my dd covets plenty of the target dolls, they are definitely nice too.
We only started with the "real" dolls because we found Addy Walker at the goodwill for 5 bucks and I saw how high quality they are.

We gave up on the WW after that… |

We’re going to the AG store next weekend for her bday and I told her she can only get the big dolls from now on! |

sae82 and donnamoss exactly! Everyone says that same thing! It must really happen a lot. I wonder why they do the legs differently on those? It must play into the more reasonable price point, but damn they should fix it.

It must play into the more reasonable price point, but damn they should fix it. It is interesting because DD1 had the original WW from when they first came out. She actually has all five. No matter how rough she or DD2 played with them they NEVER broke. It must be a recent design flaw. She got most of them clearances at TRU. But I think two were direct from AG. |

I used to buy the clothes and accessories on Amazon for super cheap. DD had the AG dolls but never cared about the accessories brands. I think it’s just under 18 inch dolls maybe?
She also loved to match outfits so I would find an outfit for the doll that I could easily replicate for DD. Like red tunic top and black leggings from Cat & Jack sort of thing.

Zulily sometimes has AG. I bought dolls from there a couple years ago for about 70. They have accessories and stuff on there too. We buy AG dolls and the target line for clothes and accessories because no way am I paying 30 bucks for a doll outfit...my kids clothing is cheaper than that.

It’s cheaper than reg AG but still not a cheap doll so it’s crazy that it happens so much |

She has two Wellie Wishers, and she’s never broken their legs, but she did break the arm of one. We need to send it to the AG hospital. She’s 12. |

sudsy, would she be interested in one of the older dolls? I have Samantha and a lot of accessories, clothes, and all of the books. All in original boxes (pleasant company boxes because I got her so long ago). I don’t know why I’ve held onto it for so long, but I think it’s time for me to part with her if you think your DD would like her. This is lovely and generous. |

I’m not sure where in the world you’re located. But there’s an AG outlet in Hershey PA, and I got some things for a very reasonable price. The dolls were still $110, but I got outfits for between $8 and $16, a double stroller for $47, and a bitty baby high chair for $27. They were offering an extra 20% off as well.
If you happen to live near the Fisher Price headquarters, the toy store there often has cheaper dolls. I got an AG doll for $45 there a few years ago.

I think she would love that, but please make sure if the doll is an original that she’s not worth a lot of money. Especially in the original box! |
