GOTY 2017 Announcement

The 2017 Girl of the Year, Gabriela will be announced tomorrow from 7-9 a.m. on Good Morning America.

American Girl has also been posting youtube videos with clues about Gabriela. So far we have:

Rebecca?

I was on americangirl.com the other day and I noticed that several items in Rebecca's collection are 60% off. 

The sets on sale include Rebecca's Costume Set, Rebecca's Director Set, Rebecca's Phonograph Set, and Rebecca's Teatime Traditions.

Lea Adventure Mini Doll Sold Online

I was on the AG website when I noticed that the Lea Adventure Mini Doll is now sold online!

This item was released in a mid-year release, however it was only available in stores. This mini doll retails for $34 online.

American Girl Truly Me in Toys R Us Milwaukee

Select Toys R Us stores had their grand opening of American Girl merchandise on October 29, 2016. Only certain stores stocked American Girl, so you might want to check on this website to see if the store nearest to you has it before you go. The store nearest to us did not stock the Truly Me items, so we drove up to Milwaukee the day after the release. The prices are all the same as they would be if bought directly from American Girl.

The American Girl section was right in front, and it was very well stocked, considering the fact that it was the day after the grand opening.

American Girl at Kohl's

I had seen on another blog that American Girl would be selling GOTY and Wellie Wishers products at Kohl's, but I took a trip to Kohl's yesterday and finally got to see it for myself!

American Girl Sold at Toys R Us?!

A tweet posted by Toys R Us alerted us to the fact that American Girl is now partnering with Toys R Us.

Some further research confirmed this, and gave us some more details. The partnership means you will soon be seeing "store in stores" inside many Toys R Us stores. The Wellie Wishers will be available for purchase for $60 and Truly Me dolls will also be sold for $115.

New Release: BeForever

At the same time as the Melody release, a few other BeForever outfits and accessories were released. Most of them are part of Maryellen's collection, but there are some for Julie, Josefina and Rebecca as well.

New Release: Truly Me

Melody's release date has been known for awhile now, but a bunch of items for the Truly Me line have also been released on the same day as Melody.

The Gourmet Kitchen Set is a wooden kitchen with an oven, fridge, cabinets and drawers.
