I've been looking for some of the older ones I don't have at local used book stores and am getting a lot of different versions. While I do like having all the same our library is getting some extra character with the different bindings. :)<br />Xyra Silverleafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12842466753806936933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966560382421058464.post-66001177303538937612015-12-03T15:39:18.362-06:002015-12-03T15:39:18.362-06:00My collection is based solely on the books for the...My collection is based solely on the books for the original six PC characters. If I saw a dress in an illustration, I would try to make that dress for the doll (including Felicity's teal and blue stripe winter dress that AG never sold). With the exception of Samantha, because she wears several very similar dresses in the book illustrations. Now the illustrations are gone, I can't do that with the newer books. Good thing my local library has the older books!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966560382421058464.post-74316858934757671652015-01-15T14:17:37.651-06:002015-01-15T14:17:37.651-06:00I like that the boxes are different.

If the former then it will be even easier to sort and find outfits (the way I have mine stored). If for GOTY & MYAG...well, will still allow me to find the newer outfits. I have a nice collection of black, blue, red, pink, and pink & purple boxes. The just purple will make a nice addition.<br /><br />With regards to the books...I am not happy. One of the great things about AG are the supporting stories to the doll characters. The illustrations helped readers picture other times and places giving greater substance to the characters' worlds.Xyra Silverleafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12842466753806936933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966560382421058464.post-47654622738494240102015-01-12T15:35:24.077-06:002015-01-12T15:35:24.077-06:00I actually like the purple boxes because they move...I actually like the purple boxes because they move away from pink, something there is waaaaaaaay too much of in AG these days. But I hate the new mini books. You can't even open them because they won't close afterwards, being paperback - their covers will be permanently bended backwards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966560382421058464.post-65310822951008478762015-01-12T10:50:30.385-06:002015-01-12T10:50:30.385-06:00The purple box with gray lettering on the smaller ...The purple box with gray lettering on the smaller boxes makes it hard to read the text. I understand why it changed but I don't like purple with red.

Not happy with the smaller mini-books, like they weren't small enough already?

I know our Samantha box is different from our others and that our year 2000 boxes were ruined (water damage on delivery) but we do have several different boxes from AG.Nonnahttp://mommysdollclub.comnoreply@blogger.com
