Our experience from ALL Mean Girls drops, &do we think Bratz will RESTOCK? | Out of the Box Ep.34

[@PeachYReviews19]

They stated they won’t restock these dolls, so at least for the foreseeable future it won’t happen…but maybe for like the next anniversary? idk man what a mess 😭

[@theswiftie..k]

Gurl I think that’s gonna be 2044 or 2144🤣

[@zeldazonk6301]

Where did they said it? Just out of curiosity

You two are very sweet. I’m glad you got the dolls and have such a good attitude about the whole thing. You’re the only channel that I’m subscribed to who actually were able to purchase the dolls, and it’s nice to see. Hopefully, in the future, the manufacturer will see that people in the doll community just want to have fairness, and making such a high anxiety situation and such great competition for these dolls might not be in their best interest. We can keep our fingers crossed they may become more thoughtful about their distribution processes. This whole thing was kind of heartbreaking.

Take pre-orders

[@natalieilatan]

I didn't even try to get any of them. Whatever I've moved on. But it would be cool to see the Bratz team salvage this. Like remember the disastrous first wave of rock angelz repros in 2021? The team was amazing at rectifying that situation imo. And they've always been great at stocking the dolls. I've never been worried about getting whoever I wanna get. So it sucks to see how this mean girls drop was fumbled

[@BoldGiorno]

The Bratz team is really good at redeeming themselves so please guys don’t buy from scalpers! If it’s a good price ok, go ahead, but please don’t buy one of these Bratz for $200!!

[@jenneyblade]

Im glad you got the dolls.. I didn't even try. The skullector drops broke me of FOMO or wanting " limited" dolls like these. For me, its not worth the effort or stress. I want my hobby to be fun so I protect my peace by not participating in drops like this.

[@ThePlasticCritic]

Congratulations to all collectors who got them! ❤ What a nightmare of a collaboration! 😂 I am just glad it's over. I was lucky enough to secure Cady and the 2 pack Karen & Gretchen. I did miss out on Regina 😢 she sold out right when I was about to pay. ...but it's ok resellers are lowering her price rn. Also the best solution would be a pre order.

[@TrashFaerie]

Re the bratz drama, i didn't try to get them because for me the prices were just too high. Like $120 per doll or something crazy, so i personally had no skin in the game but as an observation, i think a lot of the problem was scalpers with bots but also, people in America may not realize that their internet connections are actually much faster than in Australia for example, where our ping is much higher and it just takes longer for us to connect to a server in the US. I used to play online MMO games where i would connect to servers in the US and its much slower in general than people who are connecting from America, so that may be a contributer to the fact that there was a lot of struggle for people in Australia and possibly other countries at the checkout and why it may have seemed so quick and easy for others in the US. I can understand the frustration that arose from seeing others and scalpers get them so easy because of a better connection and bots and then trying to sell to the people not from the US who already were going to be paying an inflated price and missing out and then seeing the dolls on ebay for literally a months rent. I think the doll companies are very aware of this and probably encourage the behavior from scalpers because it means they meet their quota no worries, they were a sellout in minutes and they can tell investors this good news! It's predatory marketing and unfair. That's late stage capitalism though unfortunately and i just try not to buy into it.

[@JoVs-vv8lm]

I didn’t even try to get the dolls cause I knew all the stress and drama that this collaboration would bring in myself 🤭! So I rather choose to be calm and save my money for other stuff… I bought the Dia de Muertos designer doll and MH Young-Hee so 🤷🏻‍♂️. Too bad that MGA limited so hard that collaboration cause the movie and the company have a huge fanbase and now the people who really want those dolls have the OPTION to buy them from Resellers/Scalpers.

[@natalieilatan]

The $10,000 sneaker thing is iconic

[@jackiecook8753]

Happy you both got all of them ! Yay !!👏👏👏

[@jackiecook8753]

They never added more stock of Regina that day. From what I understand is they had 2 batches, but the 2nd batch was still being produced, because of that, some would get Regina soon, but others wouldn't get till later in Nov. They did NOT word it well at all, so everyone misinterpreted that.

[@Spidrick]

I'm so happy everything worked out for both of you! I think any anger that got directed to those who got the does was misplaced. Some good did come out of all this in that people for the most part didn't purchase from scalpers. This bot situation is crazy!

[@jackiecook8753]

I was happy for the actual fans & collectors who got the dolls ! I was not happy at the scalpers, but never got mad at a collector! People get crazy😮

[@chrs8656]

With all due respect the way MGA was treating their fans with this whole process was disgusting so I think that’s where a lot of the people being mad at was coming from I was one of them who is completely upset with MGA in the way they were handling this whole entire thing not to mention all the bots and resellers that bought these damn dolls, so fans cannot get them

[@sailormoon2758]

Oooh such a good discussion you are all so awesome!!

[@jackiecook8753]

Bratz can learn from Mattel. Mattel still has drops, but if a member, they get early access. Or they Pre-order. Or they make available on other platforms, like Amazon, etc.

[@crayman775]

I don't think the question is what can MGA do about the resellers and bots, the question is why would MGA do anything about resellers and bots. As far as they're concerned, they got everyone's money, and they had a successful launch. They don't care what people do with the product afterwards. They only care that they sold the product and therefore made their profit. There's no way on this Earth that MGA would invest in an IT infrastructure or similar to combat it when as far as they're concerned, they're laughing all the way to the bank.

[@jackiecook8753]

For Cady, I did same as Cloe, was in the Mean Girls table, but after doll didn't show up, I went to Shop All & checked out, but it still sold out anyway. Regina i was faster, but didn't get her either. I DID get the 2 pack though !!

[@TheAlexgallardo2000]

I completely forgot cady was dropping so missed her but I'm so so happy I was able to get Regina and the two pack 💞💞💞

[@jackiecook8753]

The other countries that had to use Amazon for the Mean Girls, that drop never really happened, they waited hours, then I guess it secretly dropped at like 3am, but sold out very quickly & only 30 dolls anyway. It was awful!

[@kam8460]

Drop 2 and 3 were only crazy because of scalpers who will regret sitting on so much stock in coming months, especially as future shipments go out. They should have lasted longer for the amount they produced but they're all on ebay now. Cady was legitimately underproduced and it looks like there's no chance of more.

[@jackiecook8753]

I dont think they will restock later. The way Bratz responded to comments was not good. They acted like they didn't care. Plus, I did see a reply from Bratz to that question, & they said there was not going to be a restock.

[@immadollygirl2834]

Didn't get the first two drops...and I didnt even try for the third drop. Sidenote....I am pretty disappointed and whenever I see an unboxing video pop up on my KZbin about these dolls I do not want to see the unboxing. And I love unboxing videos lol. Unboxing Videos for me are fun to watch when I know that I am going to be able to get the doll, but I know I missed out so why would I want to watch an unboxing video of a product that A) I can't get and B) reminds me of the horrible experience i had trying to get the item.

[@TabbysDolls]

I know right?? Super sucky release. Unboxing videos are fun because they are like a little preview for the doll so you can decide if you want to get it or not... However they did not hit with this one. Why even care about the dolls if they are so limited that only bots can get them? I agree with jonny and cloe for the majority EXCEPT for them justifying the limited part of it. A collab release like this should be huge and instead of improving the security and performance of the website(which they should be doing anyway regardless), maybe they should just produce more dolls?? People are getting heated at the scalpers and bots, well why do you think there are scalpers and bots in the first place??? My opinion is that they should have kept it limited by maybe making it a pre-order for the entire month of october. That way those who wanted them were able to have time to plan out and decide if they wanted to get the dolls, and also anyone who wanted to could get them without a time limit or rush(obvs there would be a limit of like 2 per order/person). but no, I guess mga and bratz do not want any of our money..🤦‍♀artificial scarcity is SO dumb especially when doll/toy companies like bratz whose target audience/consumer(at least for this release) is collectors and they KNOW they can take advantage of fans like this. SORRY FOR THE LONG COMMENT

[@sarahbishop6187]

Scalpers have been in the doll world from beginning of time. Not new.

[@popteek966]

I did the same thing with the Yasmin before Regina’s drop but I accidentally checked out 😭 ofc I was refunded and I was able to get all four dolls.

[@jackiecook8753]

Regina...ok, how Cloe got her is pure luck ! Cause I had shop pay & one quick Captcha. Seriously went as fast as anyone could have & i missed out 😢. But ...whatya do 🤷‍♀️

[@jackiecook8753]

How do you know what # of dolls you were in ? Like you were in the 500 or 1,000 s ,when you got your doll?

[@JairoJuber]

It’s your order number. Mines in the 12,000s. My Regina doll hasn’t shipped tho.

[@jackiecook8753]

@JairoJuber ohhhh, mine was 18,000 something. Thanks !
