Why did this doll increase in price from $29.99 to $50.40?

I found one at Walmart for $29·99 today but Disney store sold out of every Frozen doll.

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've been looking for Elsa dolls for my daughter. Back in January, this was $50 on Amazon sold by other retailers through Amazon. Most stores like Target or Toys R Us (in the NYC area) have been totally sold out of these dolls since Christmas. I finally purchased this doll on Amazon last month (February, 2014) after it went down in price from over $50 to $29. Now I see it's back up again and the Elsa dolls seem to sell out much faster than the Anna dolls. Wait, and the price will eventually go down again.

This is an OLD question but VERY pertinent NOW (Fall 2013). This version has been discontinued and when I checked KMART'S web-site I almost choked... the item was $162+ and SOLD OUT! $96, at the time of the original question, was likely someone just listing it high and hoping someone would buy it when everyone ran out the last few hours you could purchase it AND still get it in time for a major holiday! This is now a highly collectible item for those into "Monopoly" games. It is no different than a Barbie Collector or any other collector!

Yeah..no way on God'sGreenEarth can this toy cost $250.00 bucks!!!!!! Amazon needs to do some fixing...on this & I have noticed it on other items as well.....or serious price gousing laws are going to hit them...that is if anyone was stupid enough to actually purchase!!!!!

the first release of this toy does not come with a doll. however, the second release which is a different color (maybe orange?) does come with a doll and costs generally about $10-12 more. I've seen the second release most recently at Target, but they have been selling out fast. hope this helps.

I don't have the doll, but it's probably nothing particular. There's a different set of product testing that needs to be carried out for toys for under 3s and a lot of companies just don't want to pay for it so they have to label it 3 and up.

Most likely the price usually goes up when the set is no longer available from Corelle. The supply gets low and the demand is still high.

I have the same question....I bought mine 2 years ago for $51...now it's $400+? I wanted to buy one for a friend who loved mine...I was willing to spend up to $75 for a gift..but $400? No way

I noticed that about amazon..they will be selling the same product two to three different times and they all will have different prices. The dolls are the same..just different clothing.

Whoops! I missed it. The price is back up to $1137.99. Which is still cheaper than buying it direct. But you would think prices would DROP nearer to Christmas, not go up. Bummer.

I got it for 499 this morning... an hour later, when my friend decided to purchase it also, it jumped 50 bucks.

I agree. It's insane that the dolls have a diff. price according to ethnicity. How do they reason that out? It doesn't make sense at all.

I noticed the same thing! Came back to buy 2 for my 2 boys and was surprised at the price difference. Hoping it drops again in time for Christmas!

we are selling it for $50.00 on Amazon, I do not know where you are getting a $288.99 price from because I have it listed for $45.90 plus $5.49 shipping! Please buy & I will ship it out today.

Evidently as we approach Christmas the price goes up. It's $36 now, but still only $19.99 at Walmart. Weird.

I'm not entirely sure as this doll was purchased a long time ago. Sorry I can't be of assistance. Try emailing the seller.

Thanks for the update. There was no way I was going to buy this from Amazon when they were selling it before Christmas at 249.00. I kept tracking it to see if the price went down and now I don't have to. I bought one as well from Leapfrog. Thank you again!

There are two Hapes, one at $98 and one at $117 but the more expensive one has an extra vehicle. It may be that the $130 toy is sold by a different company.
