Why doesn't Amazon get enough Monster High dolls to sell directly at the retail price?

Because they get their stocks from suppliers who only supply when the item is produced and distributed in all stores, therefore limited number and high price since they can't just go and buy from anywhere even if the demands are high and the item is available at a lot of places.

Those two figures are an exclusive prince and princess set, so they are harder to find. That is why they are more expensive.

I'm guessing the sellers didn't like being told they are greedy. I have the Disney store costume already. I'm also getting a couple more from the epcot center. To help out other parents who are missing out because of people like you. I'll continue to find dresses and help other parents. Disney will eventually up their production.

Hi Kim,I agree! This doll is posted everywhere else for $39.99- $49.99. Hasbro says it should be available by Dec 12th.

I notice that Amazon has two vendors selling the Mark IV for $6600. I am a big Amazon Fan however I believe they do themselves a disservice by listing Scalpers (neither of which I've ever heard of) selling the product at $1600. above suggested retail. Three months from now they'll be selling for $200.00 below suggested retail. In any event I am patiently waiting for my number to come up. Sure would like to hear from others on the "Wait" list and those with recent arrivals.

Because it's sold by a third party and fulfilled by Amazon. People will try to charge to much because it is demand. I suggest waiting because eventually they will get more in stock at the lower price. I would say check other retailers also.

I completely agree. This doll was posted at $37.99 yesterday, but increased in price over $60.00 overnight. I can't even find it for this much anywhere else. Just ridiculous.

Usually when this happens on Amazon, it's because the usual sellers have sold out. Sellers then raise prices, sometime incidentally because prices are managed by computers algorithms. I don't believe this is an expected price for this.

people buy them up in store and sell them to make a profit which is why we don't have them yet. There is an abundance for sale all over the internet, just not for the actual price. It was already a little more than the others in the animator collections so I decided we will wait until the fuss dies down to get ours. No way will I pay 3x the price. The lady I spoke to at the disney store said you have to get there fast after a shipment or else they are gone. :(

They are in high demand. Most of the time if you order it on the Google website you are going to wait a while for shipping.

While Amazon gets these directly from Lego, sellers typically have to buy the product at the standard price (they basically pay 34.99 or around that) plus when selling it on Amazon they have to cover Amazon fees (around 20% from what I hear), shipping (Amazon sets shipping so sometimes sellers have to pay the difference). Of course, a seller also has to make a profit so when Amazon is out of something they try to make some profit.

This product is not available through the actual Amazon Store. The dolls you see for sale are through other seller's and stores linked through Amazon. Their prices often vary for the exact same item. Often times sellers will list the condition of the item, so you can see if your getting something New in Box Mint, or New in box slightly damaged, etc. I hope this helps

If it is in stores, why doesn't Amazon have them?Anyone know when Amazon will get theirs?

This is a scalper, people. They are on sale, but many dolls get bought off the shelves so that the "seller" can take advantage of the hype. Wait a month. There will be more!! That's how it was with Robecca, Rochelle, Venus, and CA Cupid.

There were two prices for the Monster High Clawdeen Wolf Doll, because I purchased two dolls. They were hard to find. I purchased one for my daughter & one for my daughter's classmate. It was her birthday, so we gave it to her as a gift. They were both very happy with the dolls. I recommend Monster High dolls, because they're different. My daughter likes them very much.

Melissa, I am not sure why there is such price disparity. Usually that indicates hat the particular Yummy Stuffer (alligator here) might be in low supply. I say, "Buy it at Target!" if you can get it for $20 there and shop at Amazon next time - It is my favorite place for shopping - so easy!! My son LOVES this Alligator Tummy Stuffer, by the way. He's 6. It fits an amazing amount of toys - I was pleasantly surprised. Susan

If you say so. Part of it is supply and demand, but part of it is that amazon is willing to source to rip-off stores who price-gouge the customer. You can currently get the BD35K from sears for $250+shipping or $250+tax in stores. Don't support the price gougers and do a little price research before buying. ;)
