Don't get Blocked Today! Read the rules and write articles properly! Nethilia, The Admin December 31, 2019 / Joss Kendrick, GotY 2020 Let's all cheer for Joss! Source: Good Morning America, American Girl's 2020 Girl of the Year is First Doll with Hearing Loss American Girl through Good Morning America has released information about the 2020 girl of the year, Joss Kendrick, who's a surfer and competitive cheerleader from southern California. Joss has hearing loss--fully deaf in one ear and partially in the other--and comes with a new, unique hearing aid. She also has a new face mold, the Joss Mold. AG worked with experts in hearing loss as well as portraying deaf characters; furthermore, they've also announced a $25,000 donation to support the work of the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA). Items will be released on the website and in previews at stores starting today, December 31st. It's a whole new new release in a new decade - but the rules remain the same. We want good information, proper descriptions, and good pictures of items in the collection. The admin block finger stays itchy, especially in those first days of a new release when people suddenly act like they can't read the rules. Nethilia, The Admin December 29, 2019 / Banning for Leaks and Updates To The Rules Please check updates to the Rumors, Leaks, and Hearsay rules. Specifically, that we do not accept YouTube reviewers or product hint videos as sources for upcoming product. Especially not for pictures. A screen cap is not a good picture source for products. In fact, it's a terrible one. We still block for six months on the first offense. Even if we'll all know what's out in three days, that's not today, is it? Nethilia, The Admin October 22, 2019 / American Girl at Costco 2019 The following sets are available at Costco warehouse stores for the holiday season: American Girl Doll Bundles for $119.99 (savings are calculated on new cost of dolls at $98): Tenney Grant with Tenney, Tenney's Accessories, and Tenney's Spotlight Outfit ($48 Savings) Gabriela McBride with Gabriela, Gabriela's Accessories, and Gabriela's Sparkling Sequins Outfit ($38 savings) Luciana Vega with Luciana, Luciana's Telescope Projector Set, and Luciana's Starry Night Outfit ($50 Savings) Bitty Baby sets: a Bitty Baby doll (Dark Skin, Black Hair, Brown Eyes; Light Skin, Blond Hair, Blue Eyes; or Light Skin, Dark Brown Hair, Brown Eyes), two cloth diapers, print sleeper, diaper bag, Pink Top, Purple leggings, Purple shoes, cloth headband, and baby bottle for $79.99.

Historical Characters Book + Journal sets: Bundles of the newly released abridged Central Series books and an Activity Journal (the same for all characters) for $14.99. October 1, 2019 / The New Fall and Winter Release A lot of new items have released for American Girl across almost every line, and several changes have been implemented for purchasing. One of the biggest changes is that the prices of dolls have dropped across the board. All 18" dolls are now $98. Truly Me dolls now come with the book Friends: Making Them and Keeping Them. Furthermore, the Historical Characters have shed the BeForever branding. The new books for the first six characters to be revamped--Kaya, Rebecca, Nanea, Maryellen, Melody, and Julie--have illustrations (returned for Rebecca and Kaya, updated for Julie, and new for Melody, Maryellen, and Nanea) but are now abridged. Please see each book's article for details on what had been added or removed. Also, all pets have been revamped and now have button eyes. A new gift option is available: the customized gift experience. With this a doll is selected--using a quiz about the recipient that narrows down options, but any doll may be ultimately selected--and then a Starter set or Gift Trunk may be purchased of varying cost. The Starter Set includes the following: Choice of doll One book related to doll Choice of one play pack Personalized letter to gift recipient with envelope Optional free Ear Piercing Added on Hearing Aids $5.00 AG Rewards certificate for future order for Rewards members The Gift Trunk includes the following: Choice of doll One book related to doll Choice of two play packs Personalized letter to gift recipient with envelope Optional free Ear Piercing Added on Hearing Aids Premium storage container First-year wellness visit through American Girl Hospital $10.00 AG Rewards certificate for future order for Rewards members Both options come with free shipping and handling.

Gold and Berry members of the AG Rewards program may pre-order the Nutcracker-themed Nutcracker Snow Queen Outfit and Nutcracker Prince and Clara Outfit Set, which are limited numbered sets of 10,000 and 5,000 respectively for 18" dolls. Preorders are open until July 31st. The sets will be shipped by August 16th and not be available outside of the pre-order before October 1st. There is a limit of three per customer. Nethilia, The Admin July 9th, 2019 / Changes to the AG Rewards program Berry Level! A new overhaul of the AG Rewards program launches today. The most prominent change is that each tier is reached by dollar amounts spent annually, not points accumulated per year. Furthermore, each reward level will have its own unique annual reward certificate gift. Berry level members also will not have points expire as long as the level is maintained. Until July 31st, the first purchase under the new rewards system will earn two times points on current levels. More information is available on the article page, with full legal information available via reading the terms and conditions on the AG Rewards website. Nethilia, The Admin

Consider the Following...
For years, American Girl Magazine included American Girl Magazine Paper Dolls based on real girls who sent in information about their heritage. Samantha's Velvet Dress was released shortly before her first retirement, giving it an availability of only a few months. Kirsten Larson had two Short Stories that were not published outside of American Girl magazine: Kirsten and the Thief and Kirsten's New Teacher. Past Girls of the Year used to have a Whole World collection, allowing the purchase of the entire collection at once after all components were out. Molly's Central Series books had the most illustrators overall: Chris Payne initially did the first three, David Gaadt did the first version of Happy Birthday, Molly!, and Nick Backes did the last two, before he redid the first four.
