Beauty and the Beast Limited Edition 17'' Dolls Release Day - 2016-09-20 - Disney Store - Checkout Counter - My Belle Doll
My LE Belle 17'' doll at the checkout counter. Taken with flash, to minimize reflections.
I went to my local Disney Store to get the three pre-ordered BatB LE 17'' dolls this morning. I got there at 9 am, and was third in line. I saw no need to get there extra early, since there were no "surprise" releases today. But I did want to be close to the head of the line for the dolls, to get the best pickings. At about 9:50 am a CM came out and asked who was getting which dolls, so they knew how many dolls to bring out. Then they started bring out the dolls, some with tissue paper still wrapped around them. They removed the tissue and stacked them up behind the registers. After a short opening ceremony, we went to the registers in the order that we were lined up. There were about 8 or 10 people there, only about half of the group that pre-ordered the doll a month and a half ago.
The CM put my three dolls on the counter. I saw that Belle's box was creased in the left front, so I asked for another. The second one had a perfect box. I inspected all the dolls and then paid for them. I also got the BatB Blu-ray release, but didn't use the $10 coupon. Surprisingly, they let me keep all the voucher cards, which is a change from their previous policy. I took a few photos of the dolls, and then went home to drop my goods off.
Then I went to a second local Disney Store, to get my second pre-ordered Belle doll. I went home to drop the doll off, then go off to enter the raffle for the Designer Belle and Gaston set.
I took quick photos of my dolls at the stores, but will post more detailed photos later today.
