Since AG still prints the books for the retired LEs (and few stores carry them), they should make a set sold in bookstores consisting of the book along with a mini-doll of the LEs! That way, people who didn't get the full-size Lindseys, Kaileys Marisols and soon-to-be Jesses can still get a mini doll of them without making the full-sized LEs people do have less special. So Lindsey's book with a mini Lindsey, and so on.

Another option would be to make a new story for the previous LEs, now since we know Nicki is going to have 2 books. They could put the mini-LEs with the original meet books (therefore causing people who have the books already to want another one with the mini-doll) and then release the second book on it's own.

Also, I've found the mini dolls are often a more affordable and more accessible alternative for those who cannot afford the full-size AGs. I started out with mini dolls I bought at the bookstores before I even knew there was an AG Place or had a catalog to look at.
