If so, whats your reasoning? Lack of money? Too many dolls? Afraid of flaws? etc
I am waiting for some members here to receive their dolls and check their feedback on whether or not she is what they expected. I wish she had more of an Asian look.
I am waiting because I only get 1 doll a year. I got Marisol this year.
My birthday is in January, and my husband knows I want her, but it would be okay if we waited until Christmas too.
I need time to enjoy the doll I just got.
(Although I LOVE everything about Jess and want her now, I am trying to be a sensible adult, who realizes that I can't have EVERYTHING I want)
I'm waiting because I may go to Chicago this spring. If so, I would want to go pick one out myself.
I went back to school a few years ago to finish my degree, so I now exist on Financial Aid money. I don't get next term's $$ until school starts on the 9th. I am also wanting to see what Jess looks like from board member photos. I couldn't decide what doll to buy last year when I had finally decided that I wanted my first AG. It wasn't until I saw some pics of Marisol on an eBay auction that acually showed her out of the box that I decided she would be the one. The dolls just look so different from AG's pictures. I didn't really care for #25 until I saw her in HB member albums, and now I think she's so cute!
I decided to wait last night, because I ordered an Addy doll w/paperback book collection, her accessories, and AG Brush for my older sister who lives in Michigan.
She is the DS who went with me to AGPC when I was at the family reunion in August. She fell in love with Addy and AG there. DH told her he would get it for her for Christmas. Well, he did not get her. He thought she was joking. (DS is 59 years old).
He got her something else for Christmas. When he realized that she was serious he told he would get her one after their tax refund.
To make a long story short; I bought an Addy package for her with my Jess budget last night and had it shipped to her home in Michigan.

I'm waiting to get her with my tax refund. We're all tapped out right now. I'm actually glad she doesn't look more Asian. I think she looks a lot like my little DD whose father is from Central America so we're buying Jess for her for those reasons.
I'm waiting because I need to enjoy my new dolls and the rest of the stuff I got for Christmas. Kirsten and Megan (Magic Attic Club) need to feel at home before I get Jess.
prasnlrd - What a nice sister you are!
Yeah Prasnlrd what a nice thing to do!!!! [img]smile.gif[/img] Id love a sister like you! HEHE !!! [img]wink.gif[/img]
awww, pranslrd, that was sweet of you. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I'm waiting to order her until... I crack. I know I shouldn't, but I doubt I'll make it another 24 hours. [img]confused.gif[/img] [img]eek.gif[/img] Good thing the AG site is down. That might hold me off!
Right now I'm running frantically through the house looking for things to sell to pay for her.
I have several reasons for waiting:
1) We want to go to AGPLA this summer and it would be fun to get her then.
2) I'm not sure who will get her. It's my nieces turn to get a LE doll. We had a rule of no repeats but DD and one niece got Felicity for Christmas so that rule is out the window.
3) The girls need to enjoy their Christmas dolls.
4) I don't want/need another doll.
I plan on ordering Jess at some point this year, but not right away. The last four dolls I got had dark hair, so I want some variety, plus I've been wanting AGT22 (my look-alike) for some time. The AG website is down right now, but I'm ordering her as soon as it comes back up. After that I want to get Elizabeth (because that will be three modern girls in a row and I will want an historical), and then either an eBay Kailey or Jess. But definitely Jess at some point. I don't plan on missing out on any more LE dolls.
As much as I could do with a new, adventerous AG with a fresh face mold and complete opposite features to my most recent doll, I think I'm going to hold off for a while. I agree with Laura - I JUST got my Elizabeth, and I don't want to go out and get another doll just quite yet (for fear of 1. Elizabeth feeling unloved and 2. My parents thinking I don't appreciate my Elizabeth and never buying me AG again)! I will get her though, maybe for my birthday in 2006 [img]smile.gif[/img]
I'm not getting her because I want time to sit and adjust and decide if I really need another doll. I have four AGs now, and, after this Christmas, two slim bodies (Carpatina Emma and a blonde DDD, who is yet to be named).
Also, I live in LA. I would much rather choose a new doll in person. I don't know if I want Jess, or the new dark haired brown eyed AG, or to wait for a dark haired AG with long curly hair.
I am going to wait to get her, too many dolls all at once... [img]redface.gif[/img] I could though buy her and put her in the closet til the Fall, or just by her during the Fall....

I'm waiting to get Jess because I am leaving for Honduras on Friday and won't come home until June. I toyed with the idea of getting her rushed shipped here abd taking her with me, but I really should save the money in case I need it in Honduras.
Stephanie, Jess and her collection may hold more meaning for you when you come home from Honduras - she may serve as a reminder of your stay there! [img]graemlins/thinking.gif[/img]
I think she is really cute, but we got Marisol last year and Kailey the year before. I would rather add to our historical collection.
I am waiting until January or even February. I want to get myself some non-AG things. . .but she is soooo soooo soooo cute. :-).
Well, I have $60 of her tucked aside, lol. I've got a few things up for sale and after those transactions come through, she'll be mine. [img]smile.gif[/img] At the very, very most it'll take two weeks. Which gives me time to make Samantha feel nice and welcome. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I am holding out for a trip to Chicago, which we may make in January. I'm still not 100% convinced I'll get her, but will probably be rummaging through boxes to find the right one within minutes of hitting the store.
