Lot of 5 Littlest Pet shop blythes:  $12.69 off eBay

It'd be more special if all of mine were thrifted, but these were such a great price, I couldn't resist.  Plus, I don't have any with these new style eyes.  I think they're pretty cute...the eyes are bigger than the other ones and they just seem cheerier somehow.

I just wish the middle one didn't come with a different body.  That's the body the current blythe figure has (which is all plastic and totally redesigned).

I'm just glad they all came with shoes.  Most of the ones I find don't, and I'd gladly pay $.50 more for them!

Mine didn't come with two purple boots though.  The black haired one came with flats, which I'm ok with.  Those are so much easier to lose, it'd be harder to find them secondhand!

My little pony - Ponyville ferris wheel:  $1.99 (RSP:  ~$20)

Bag of doll accessories:  $1.99

Both @ Value Village

I'm pretty much done with ponies, but I couldn't pass up this ferris wheel!  It's just so fun and cute.  It plays music and spins around, plus the price was so cheap!

I'm happy about the bag of doll stuff too.  I rarely see them, they must be in high demand.  No wonder, there's so much stuff included!

 

Well worth the two bucks!  I only really wanted the rollerblades (the wheels really turn!), but there were a ton of neat gems in there.  

Mainly the hats.  I love the fedora and the band hat, even though the latter is basically a bucket with a brim.

The Ken picture in a heart shaped frame was pretty fun too.  Here's hoping I find lots like these more often!

Vintage lace blazer:  $3.99 @ Value Village

And this was their regular price!  That hardly ever happens.  This has a bit more wear than I normally like, but the style was so interesting, I was willing to overlook it.  Just look at the back!

I love the multicoloured lace, but the beading seems kind of tacky.  I also love the flaps at the front...this is such a unique blazer!

More than that, it's super fitted in the waist, which I love.  I think it's probably from the 60's...I see "1962" on it, but that could mean something other than the year. 

Phi - leather belt sash:  $2 (RSP:  $615!)

Double seashell belt:  $1

Both @ MCC Thrift shop

That first belt is crazy!  I knew it was good quality, but I thought it would be around $100 max.  I've never heard of the brand, and even high end brands like Gucci and Burberry charge less for their belts!  

Here's a stock picture of it:

Turns out it's from their 2009 Spring collection:

I just can't imagine ever paying that much for a belt, but I'm happy with the price I paid!

I found a lot of other high end things that time, which is rare.  I'll bet they came from the same person!  

I found a silk Marc Jacobs dress (the one made in Italy!) for $10, and a costume national suit for $20 (retail is over $1000!).  They were way too small for me though, so I left both of them behind.

Bag of doll stands:  $1.99

Monster High - Meowlody doll:  $4.99

Bag of dolls:  $1.99

All @ Value Village

Thank goodness they didn't raise the price in my city!  I found plenty in this price range, and this was one of them:

I of course bought them for the 2 littlest pet shop blythes.  Yay, 2 of them!  I'll probably keep the Madam Alexander dolls too.

I already have the Meowlody, but since she was just missing her purse, it seemed like a good deal.  My other ones are on display, so I can keep those ones pristine and use this one instead!

I'm out of monster high stands, so I thought the bag of them was a good deal.  There were 4 MH stands and one stand I haven't figured out yet.  There are indents for huge feet on the unidentified one, but it's not very tall...no markings either, so it's a mystery!

The tan blythe has the worst hair I've ever seen.  I didn't think it was salvageable, but it looks ok after a comb and wash.  It even looks bad in the promos!

Her boots were super cute though, I would have liked to have them.  The other one came with a car:

I actually had a chance to get the car for $2, but I didn't think it looked that great...nothing opened up, plus the one I found had some wear to it  Though I do wish I bought it now, since I haven't found it again yet!

Monster High - Swim class Draculaura (RSP:  $9.94 - $19.99)

Monster High - Swim class Lagoona (RSP:  $9.94 - $19.99)

$2.76 for both @ Superstore

Thanks to my PC points!  I still have $20 left, but I'm waiting for another sale.  I've already waited for these ones for almost a year now!  I'm glad I did, because they finally went down to a price I was willing to pay.

 

I'm not normally that crazy about Draculaura, but I really like this edition of her.  Lagoona was the one I really wanted though - she's perfect!  I love her glasses the most.

This line has only been found at Superstore in my country.  I'm glad, since I don't know if they would have ever gotten this low otherwise!

Huge eye necklace:  $2.06 (Highest:  $3.99)

Grey bow belt:  $1.51 (Highest:  $3.85)

Gold wing necklace:  $.55

Fancy gold/rhinestone necklace:  $1.86 (Highest:  $5.50)

Cascading gold necklace:  $1.76 (BIN:  $5.29)

Circular necklace:  $2.30 (Highest:  $5.25)

Cow head necklace:  $.99 (Highest:  $3.50)

Rilakkuma miniature set:  $1.56 (Highest:  $4.76)

All off eBay.

I think that eye necklace is neat in a campy way, but I wish I paid less - I saw a few go for $1 after I bought mine!

Gold metal skull belt:  $.39
Gold metal skull and crossbones belt:  $.34
Skinny leopard bow belt:  $1.06 (Highest:  $1.75)
Skinny turquoise bow belt:  $1.06 (Highest:  $3.25)

All off eBay.

Hooray for cheap belts!  The gold ones are actually really great quality, they're made entirely out of metal!  I was happy I was able to win some for so low.  I actually saw a few people win similar belts for less than ten cents, but I was still happy with what I paid.

I wish I paid less for the next ones though!  I've seen a ton of them end around fifty cents since I bought mine.

Icy doll - "Lovely"

Icy doll - "Charm"

$55.08 for both off Aliexpress

That works out to about $27.50 each, which is way cheaper than anywhere else! 

They're around $40 BIN on eBay, sometimes there are some for $35 on auction...but the types are limited and there's no guarantee it'll stay that low.  They were around $50 when they first came out, so I wonder why the price is so low now.

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about these (especially after I saw that Jecci five doll in person), but it was love at first sight!  I even like them more than blythe.  Their faces are so cute, I can't find any flaws with the sculpt (which I can't say about blythe!).

People say they're the same quality as blythe, which again, is nuts!  I'd say they were about half the quality.  Around the same quality as Jecci five, except the hair is slightly less nice (though still way better than blythe).

The body is even worse than jecci's!  It even made my hands tingle, and I'm not normally sensitive to chemicals.  Yikes!

The head seems better quality than jecci's, just a little.  There aren't any places where the plastic is too thin, but it's still not as good as blythe's.  Somehow, the eyemech/eyes seem a little bit worse than Jecci's, though not bad.

What I really like is, some of the dolls have special designs in their eyes.  The redhead had moons!  I should have taken a picture.

Well, I also should have taken a picture of them inside their box, but I was so excited I skipped that step!

I bought another one from the same seller, and I'd really like to buy more.  I'm just kicking myself though, since I saw some other people got them for $20 just a few months back!!

Not from this seller, but another.  Which is strange, because I never saw the sale!  I did look every once in a while, and I even had that seller in my list.  The sale lasted pretty long too!  It probably ended two weeks before I bought these ones, which sucks.

I was thinking that I wouldn't buy anymore until the seller's next sale, but now they've taken them all down...so I guess I missed my chance.

The only bad thing about the seller I did buy from is, they take so long to ship!  About three weeks.  

There's a sale coming up soon, so I'll try some other sellers!  They'll cost me about $27 each, but with the low canadian dollar, it's going to convert to a lot more.  It almost seems better to just buy them off ebay, at least then I can pay with the US dollars I already have in my account!

Teacup piggies  - Lacey:  $1.99

Alexis - NWT Pale peach blazer:  $7.99 (RSP:  $185)

Both @ Value Village

Too bad there weren't more toys at this one!  I kind of wonder if I should have bought any teacup piggies new, I've been finding so many secondhand ones for only $2 each!  Most of them (except the light coloured ones) look unplayed with.

This one is a colour I don't have, plus it has a very cute feature...there's a heart around its eye!  And on its butt!  The price was sure right too.  I found a really exaggerated promo picture of it:

Of course, the hearts aren't as pronounced in real life.  You can't see anything in my picture, but I found this good picture on amazon:

 

Adorable!  I've never even seen this one before, which makes me wonder just how many pigs are out there.  I wonder if there are more with hearts around their eyes?  It's just too bad there aren't any good resources for this toy line!

The blazer was an afterthought.  It's a bit snug on me right now, but the design was just so nice.  It has slanted buttonholes!  I've never seen that before.

The fit is also very flattering, plus it was new with tags.  It's also this really gorgeous peachy white colour.  It was too unique to leave behind!  It's just that I hate paying full price.

Barbie Vespa:  $3.99

Barbie scooter:  $1.99

Polly Pockets "designables" convertible:  $1.99 (RSP:  ~$18)

All @ Value Village

I was so happy about this!  I was about to buy that exact same scooter just a few days ago (because it was half off), but there was a glitch and the discount wasn't coming off.  I'm so glad now, these were far cheaper!

The regular price was $30 (geez, just checked and it's $32 now!).  That includes a doll, but the dolls are cheap and have ugly outfits so their value is negligible.  Even at $15, I could have gotten around 5 used ones for that price!

I'm still hoping I find more, so we'll see how long it takes.  There are a bunch of ones in other colours I don't have!

Thank goodness I decided to take a few more looks.  I found the one pictured above on the third round!  I don't know how I missed it, it was under some other stuff or just tucked way behind.  I wonder if I've ever missed any other treasures that way?  I had no idea it was there!

Today I realized how awesome polly pocket vehicles were.  Most of them had opening parts and cute designs!  There was this helicopter van I really wanted, but sadly, they're too small for my big headed dolls.

I only got this one because I thought they would fit, but the windshield touches their faces.   Good enough!  At least I can sort of use it.  The design was so cute and cheery, I couldn't resist.

Lalaloopsy - Sir Battlescarred doll:  $3.99

Barbie - Lilac Vespa scooter:  $1.99

Both @ Value Village

Yep....that's the exact same doll I bought for TWICE the price a few days ago!  Really wish I didn't do that now.  I actually saw 4 of this doll today, but this was the only clothed one.  I couldn't resist!

I'm also happy about the scooter.  I want a ton of them to display my dolls on!

Funny thing about this location...I thought they didn't carry toys!  I always only saw a small display at the front so I assumed that was it.

Well...I happened to make my way to the very back, and I noticed there was a basement!  It only said there was furniture there, so never went down before.  Big mistake!

This was like toy heaven!!!  This had more toys than any of the ones I've been to, probably because other people don't know they're there either.

I'm so excited to go back!  Now I'll always make it a point to go to this location, whereas before, I was never very keen on going.

Pearlescent lucite/acrylic clutch:  $4.99

Le Chateau - NWT Rhinestone square clutch:  $1.99 (RSP:  $39.99)

Both @ Value Village

I always find such great stuff here!  I have a theory that it's because no fashionistas come to this location.  It is pretty out of the way and in a small city.

Oh well, more for me!  I was so happy to find the plastic clutch, I always buy them when I see them.  I just think they're so beautiful, and they've been making a comeback lately!  Jimmy Choo has been making very similar ones for $600!

I was so surprised their regular price was so reasonable, especially since it looks unused!  Most of the time they're around $10, which I would still gladly pay for these kind of purses.  Of course, I'm happiest paying around the price I did!

I probably wouldn't have picked up the other one if it wasn't so cheap or new with tags.  I was totally surprised it was that low, you rarely see that!

I wish this place wasn't so out of the way.  I'm sure I'd be finding gems regularly there!  This is where I found my awesome leopard purse, which is still one of my favourite finds ever!

Bag of toys:  $2.99 @ Value Village

This one seemed more worth it, it had about twice the amount of stuff as the other one!  Of course, I bought it for the blythe again.  It's the exact same one as the one I found earlier today!  Isn't that funny?  

They were even dressed the same, but I switched out her dress before the photo was taken.  This one came with two neat glasses plus some mini clothes so it was worth the price.

One pair of glasses is Ghoulia's from monster high, but I have no idea where the other ones are from.  They're really cute though!  They're flaming suns!  They fit blythe perfectly, but I looked at all of the stock photos and I didn't see one that came with it.

There were a ton of polly pocket dolls and clothes.  Too bad there were no shoes, that's the only thing I need from that line!

Liv - Hayden in Wonderland doll:  $3.75 (RSP:  $19.99)

Lottie - Raspberry Ripple fashion:  $1 (RSP:  $10+)

Both @ Shared thrift store

I always like going to this store, because for some reason, they always have new in box toys!  The years range all over the place too, from the early 2000's to now, so I have no idea what their deal is!

I've never even seen this wonderland line sold in Canada, which is a shame, because it's definitely the best one.  They all have such neat outfits!  This one has remnants of a winners sticker on it, so I'm guessing it was only sold there.

This is one of the best ones, so I'm really happy I found her.  I love her pocket watch, which is strangely oversized when you compare their scale.

Anyway, I was surprised she was so cheap!  There were other Liv dolls that were $4.75 (and one beach doll for $3.75), and this one was much nicer.  I didn't pick up the other ones because I didn't like their outfits, and they just didn't seem worth it overall.

All of their single doll outfits were $1.75, which really didn't seem worth it.  For $2 more, I could have a doll too by their pricing!  

The lottie outfit had no price on it, so I brought it up just in case.  Happily, the lady charged me $1, which is much more along the lines of what I wanted to pay.

I've seen these dolls on someone else's blog.  They remind me of americanized Licca dolls.  I wouldn't go out of my way to buy them, but they're kind of cute.  

It's definitely the kind of doll I'd want a child to play with, so I see the appeal there!

Bag of dolls:  $2.99 @ Value Village

Crazy!  This would have been $1.99 in my city.  I saw this trend at all of the ones I went to today, so hopefully it hasn't spread to my local ones as well.

I of course only wanted that littlest pet shop blythe.  Finally!  I haven't found one in a while and I've been itching to get more.

Too bad there was nothing else good in the bag.  I just kept the outfits of the other dolls, and I might keep that bratz kid too.  I probably shouldn't, but I think she's sort of cute...and I could keep her around to do Pullip/Angel dal comparison, which were kind of a rip off of this line.

I also saw a $3 bratz car here, which I would have been happy about...except that one was such cheap quality!  Like, hollowed out barbie quality.  All of the other bratz cars I've seen have been wonderful quality (with opening doors/trunks), so this was a shock.  

Of course I left that one behind...I saw a ton of good looking cars this day, but none of them had opening parts.  Too bad, I'm really looking for more!

Lalaloopsy littles/mini lot:  $24 for everything

I'm so into lalaloopsy littles right now, but I haven't deboxed any of mine because the packaging is  so perfect!  When I saw this lot of loose ones, I couldn't resist...even though I do have 3/4 of them.

The one I don't have, I've never seen in stores anywhere!  She's one of the first ones, so I didn't think I could find her otherwise.

Well, there is a silly hair version of her that has the exact same outfit and pet, but I like this version better.

The littles lot was $18, and the minis were $6.  She wanted $12 for the minis, but that kind of seemed like a ripoff.  I made her an offer and she accepted, otherwise I wouldn't have bought them.

The dolls are all in worse condition than I thought though, so that was a disappointment.  I could see the stains on Sprinkle's face, but the rest looked fine in pictures.

Well, in person they all have a ton of marks, some in noticeable places.  I cleaned up a lot of them, but they still look pretty used.  Considering that, I kind of wish they were a lot less, or that I didn't buy them at all!

But then I wouldn't have gone on a shopping trip and found all of those great things, so I guess it's a tradeoff.

I suppose I'll return my in box ones.  Well, 2 of them at least, the time has already passed for one of them!  

Funnily enough, once I get my return, I'll make back what I paid on this lot!  There's no point in keeping the boxed ones now that I have them loose.

Re-ment Mickey Mouse food keychains:  $1.06 (Highest:  $1.31)

Orcara miniature pastry set:  $1.04

Hello Kitty miniature kitchen lot:  $1.04 (Highest:  $5.79)

Hello Kitty miniature sushi set:  $1.29 (Highest:  $4.25)

Re-ment asian food lot:  $1.25 (Highest:  $4.04)

Re-ment miniature lunch set:  $1.04 (Highest:  $3.10)

All off eBay.

And I still have more coming in!  I got lazy and stopped checking their listings though.  There's one package that seem lost at this point (it's almost been two months), and the others are taking their sweet time as well.

Jecci five - "City Girl" doll:  $36.80 @ Aliexpress (RSP:  ~$75)

I've known about these for a while, but I never really felt like buying them until now.  Finding that blythe at value village resurrected my love for the big heads, I guess!

 

Sadly, she looks better in photographs than she does in person!  Her face is just kind of weird...there are a lot of odd inclines to her face.  I really dislike her philtrum -- it sticks out so awkwardly, though I can see they did it for her profile.  She just looks so bad from the front though!

Her eyes also face downward, a lot.  It's a little weird, but not as bad as the philtrum thing.  Overall, she's just not as pretty or charming as blythe.

I heard people say that these dolls were blythe quality, which is another reason I bought it.  Well, that just isn't the case!  I'd say they were half the quality of blythe, maybe even less.  They used to be around $75 including shipping when they were introduced.

The bodies are completely crappy...shiny, cheap, plastic, nowhere near the quality of blythe's.  Maybe 1/4 of it on that front.

The heads are better, but still not as good as blythe.  The plastic feels cheaper, and it's definitely thinner in areas.  

The eye chip and eye mech do seem as good as blythe's.  The hair on the other hand is WAY better than blythe's!  I always disliked that about them...they all had terrible feeling hair.  I like my dolls to have silky hair, especially when they cost that much!

I really wish I got this one instead, but I chose the one I got because I saw way more flattering photos of her.

A sale is coming up soon, so I almost feel like buying her anyway...she'd be cheaper than this one!  I really like her hair and outfit, but the face is just a no go. 

I do like her cat eye makeup though.  That was another reason I bought the one I did!  Only a handful have that kind of eyeliner, the rest are plain.

Lalaoopsies - Mini Princess Nutmeg (RSP:  $3 - $8)

Lalaoopsies - Mini Princess Juniper (RSP:  $3 - $8)

Lalaloopsy Littles - Tricky Mysterious (RSP:  $12.86 - $22.99)

All for $2.84 @ Walmart

Thanks to my trusty tellwut gift card of course!  I even included some of the shoes in my other post.  

I was surprised the oopsies were at this location, since the store locator didn't show them in stock.  They were clearanced to $3, so I didn't think there would be any left anywhere.

Well, I got the other ones at winners for the same price, so now I have the whole set!  I could have gotten Juniper back then, but I never saw Nutmeg at any of the ones I went to.

Tricky Mysterious was the one I really wanted though.  She's so adorable!  I just love her gloves and little carrot.

There are a few more littles I want, but I'll probably wait for a sale/more gift cards. 

G21 - Glittery black Gita pumps:  $3 (RSP:  $29)

G21 - Glittery fuchsia Gita pumps:  $3 (RSP:  $29)

George - Mary Ann fur lined boots:  $5 (RSP:  $39)

George - "Lucky" suede booties:  $3 (RSP:  $20!)

George - Jeweliana teal rhinestone studded pumps:  $3 (RSP:  $29)

All @ Walmart

And the last two were free because I used my gift card!  I heard about this deal on smartcanucks, so I went to two of them to see what I could find.  

I'm surprised there was so much good stuff left!  I just can't pass up fun $3 heels.  I found official pictures of them:

There are still a ton more I can check out, so hopefully I can go to a few more!

Monster High - Cleo's vanity:  $2.99

Lil Bratz - NIB Stylin' space furniture pack:  $2.99 (RSP:  $9.99+)

Both @ Value Village.

There's been a toy drought lately, and I really didn't think this one would break it!  This location doesn't have that many toys, and any good ones are severely overpriced.  That's why I was surprised these ones were priced so reasonably!

I was a bit unsure about this one, but since I liked some of the accessories (especially the shoe rack), I decided to get it.  It being new in box helped too!

I was super happy about getting Cleo's vanity, since I was totally kicking myself for not getting it at $15.  I heard some people were finding it for $5, so I held out...well, it never got that low here of course.

It is missing a lot of stuff though, including extra cats at the legs, the chair, and all of the accessories.  I would still like a complete one someday.  It's the most beautiful vanity I've ever seen!

Evan Picone - Long black wool coat:  $9 (RSP:  ~$300)

Bebe - Contrast coated scuba moto:  $6.50 (RSP:  $129)

Joe Fresh - NWT Wool/mohair sweater dress:  $5 (RSP:  $69)

6 Shore Road -  NWT Silk shirt dress:  $7.50 (RSP:  $100+)

Katie - Pink polka dot halter dress:  $5

All @ Value Village

I almost didn't go, but I'm glad I did.  I almost always find great stuff, and this was no exception!

I was pretty annoyed at the prices though.  This is one of the worst ones I've seen!  They had a lot of USED dresses for $20...which is crazy.  At least the other ones reserve those prices for NWT stuff!  

Which makes me really surprised that the Joe Fresh dress was so cheap.  It was extra small, so I didn't think it would fit...but thankfully, I tried it on and it did!  It wasn't even too tight, it was like magic.  

The 6 Shore road dress is missing 3 buttons, which means I'll have to replace all of them.  But the style is so gorgeous I thought it was worth the effort.

I wasn't sure about the last one, but since I'm a sucker for halters it had to come with me.

The coats...I'm sure the bebe one was new, because there were three of them, and all of the labels were cut off!  They all had slight staining to the sleeves, so I think they were probably donated by the company.

They were all marked a large, and they certainly looked the same size...but two of them were actually extra small!!  Thankfully, one was a medium, and that one fit.  But really, looking at the rack they all looked the same size!

Bebe stuff is normally super pricy even used, so I kind of thought the prices were sort of up there.  I do think they have a lot of interesting styles.

I was surprised to learn that the jacket only retailed for $129!  I guess they price things so high secondhand because there's a demand for it.

I was happy about the black coat, since I've been looking for a long, warm, fitted one for a long time.  The outside looks new, but there are a lot of tears in the lining that I'll have to repair.  Considering how great it looks on, I thought it was worth the effort!
