On the 23rd, I made two awesome discoveries: a 24-inch Batman plush exists and K-Mart was having a sale on certain Equestria Girls dolls. I don't know why the original deluxe Rarity and Fluttershy never seem to go on sale (except for when Fluttershy was on clearance on Wal-Mart and I couldn't catch her before she sold out), but ohmygosh, Trixie was on sale! She's normally $25, and she was on sale for $16.99! That was still slightly more than I wanted to pay for one doll, but I've wanted her so badly since I first heard she was coming out that I decided I was willing to get her at that price (especially since I had the lovely gift money from JP). At the register, I learned that I could have her for $13.99, apparently because I'm a member of their rewards club! Squeeee.
She is definitely about the most deluxe of the girls, I think. Her outfit is so billowing. She seems more like a collector's piece than a kid's toy. I hate to think of kids messing up her clothes or hair.
I really wanted the Batman plush when I saw it at a Wal-Mart other than our own, but I felt like I couldn't get it until I saw what K-Mart had (and I also felt that I couldn't ask for it for Christmas since money was tight), and I'm glad I waited.
Still, I really wanted Batman too. When I received the pajamas in the wrong size, I hoped maybe I could get cash from them. I couldn't when I tried yesterday, and I also couldn't get them in the right size. **headdesk.** The nearest store with them in the right size is still pretty far for a drive just for that, so I don't know how I'm going to get it. If I can't have cash, I really wanted the pajamas in the right size instead of exchanging them for something else. And Kohl's has a really dumb policy of only allowing an exact price match of one item; you can't get several things that add up to the same price. I couldn't find anything that worked for the exact price.
I kept trying to tell myself I didn't really want the plush, especially after seeing one that wasn't stuffed as good as the first one I saw, but that was about as successful as when I tried to tell myself the same thing about the giant Boba Fett figure. (And boy, am I glad I got that; I haven't seen another one anywhere since!) I was really only interested in Build-a-Bear's Batman logo bear because I didn't know a Batman plush existed (other than a small one). The discovery of the big one was very exciting.
We were by then in the next town over from the Wal-Mart with the better stuffed one, and then we had a rather fortuitous navigational error that put us on the freeway again and unable to get off until we arrived at that Wal-Mart. The better stuffed one was still there, and we decided that since Dad wants me to do some work for him soon, the plush could be part of the payment for that.
So right now I am quite satisfied. I don't think there's anything else I want immediately, although I do want the Sailor Moon set (and some more Perry DVDs). I'm looking forward to the next 1960's Batman release in February and Richard Anderson's book in March.
