I called AG this morning to find out if it's possible to get a replacement part for the shoes that come with Sam's Spring Party Dress. They're a soft plastic (I don't think they're leather but could be wrong) and the strap on one of them tore. I hoped to buy a new pair but it turns out they aren't available. I'll have to stick with the damaged shoes or buy the whole outfit again.

I know this isn't a big deal but it seems to me that when Pleasant Rowland was running things, replacement parts were far more readily available. Does anyone else have the impression that Mattel is really scaling back in this area?

BTW, the valentines that come with the Spring Party Outfit are available as a replacement part, in case anyone needs/wants them. Sorry I didn't think to get the code for them.
