Get Your Valium Ready….
…There is a platinum release Barbie available for purchase to BFC members next week.

Her name is Beaded Gown Barbie® Doll and she is the first in a new series of black and white themed Barbies®. Linda Kyaw is taking over the drivers seat for the platinum editions and I would say she did a beautiful job with her first in a series design. This elegant lady was designed exclusively for the BFC and at $85 she will go on sale online Wednesday, May 22nd, at 9:00am Pacific Time. BFC exclusive means you have to be a member of the BFC to purchase her and platinum edition means there will only be 999 available for purchase. Typically these are extremely hot sellers and they have been known to sell out within minutes.
I swore that Pinch of Platinum was my last platinum purchase because I needed a bucket o’ valium after fighting to purchase her online. I am hoping that for those who are going to try for this beauty the phrase o’ the day won’t be “SERVER ERROR”.
Have the tums and the valium ready for this one folks…it’s going to be crazy at 9AM on May 22nd.
Hope everyone’s experience is this…
rather than this….

There’s always hurt feelings when these platinum dolls go on sale. I hope everyone who actually wants one is able to get one. It’s hard enough competing with fellow collectors but also people who have several BFC memberships to be able to purchase these limited dolls for resale. Hoping for the best. Good luck!

Thank God I don’t collect vinyl, because that is a stressful experience that I can do without.
