I was surprised to see that almost all the realborns are $69.95 now. It used to be by size and the preemies were $10 cheaper. BIG babies are still $10 more.
To be expected I know with times being tough. My thinking his that maybe it all balances out with all the sales they’ve been offering
I was also shocked by the price of bodies at about $20 instead of closer to $12-$15
I’ve seen the prices on the regular non real born kits go up as well. I hope they are able to restock them. I know times are tough because of the pandemic. It just seems like they may never get restocked
Understandable! I just miss the days when nevin was thoughtful enough to make a post explaining these things so we didn’t get all upset. It’s like he doest care about us anymore.
Yes I noticed up one more time. I am really bad i use to buy from BB at $29.95 and on sale $19.95 and some were lower on sale $9.00. Bodies were $5.95. Soon (well now) I guess I won’t be adding to my stash if the kit is $69.95, the body $20 and shipping $10,thats $100 without rings or plugs. I personally can afford on sale kits only or seconds and seconds are not cheap. Oh well onward.
I know what you mean , here by us there isn’t mutch sale and we pay at least nearly 90,00 euro for a kit with body and shipping at least !
So most of the time i buy from Spain or U K and even there i pay 45,00 GBP whitout body and shipping .
By us it is a very expensive hobby but i still work (61 years now ) and my husband also work but otherwise i could not afford to buy reborn kits !
I just received an invoice from Mac’s but hadn’t ordered anything lately so I inquired. It was an order from Sept 12, 2020. It was for a custom and of ourse I lost the sale because of delays on the kit, but, 7months? Forgot what it was!
Maybe suggest they start offering it since they are raising prices. They might as well do preorders too. I just had a little fantasy scenario where hubby would secretly buy preorders from my wishlist and they would show up as a surprise he asked if there was a special kit I wanted for my bday and I told him grumpy sleepy playful and happy LOL!!! I have to get happy I’d worry she’s feeling left out cause I don’t particularly like her
I know BB mentioned when all this started last year it would take a LOOOONNNGGGG time to get everything restocked. As they had an order either made or coming to them, and that would be the last they knew of at the time. I appreciate them so much. I don’t know how they are able to handle all the logistics to keep it all going.
It hasn’t been that long since I started reboring, maybe 2 1/2 years, and when I started the kits were $29.99 and the paints were $3.95!! Prices have gone up alot and fast
