Ouch, my self-esteem....

Well, that's a kick in the teeth. I actually take a photo that I really like and bam! Knocked out of the competition. Suck. I really thought I was doing well this time. Which is just more fuel for my philosophy to never believe in myself or think that anything good will ever happen to me. Positive-thinking as a technique for me is apparently a crock. So nuts to that.

Ooo, really? I'd love the blonde one in the red/black outfit. I think she's a vampire? This is her:

Thank you so much! I never did get out to look for any. I try to avoid Target as I've been so poor lately and though I've got (or rather, had) a bit of spare cash over the past couple days, I figured they'd be off the shelves already. Yay! I'm excited!

You don't want the other two as well? I'm going back tonight to buy what's left and then just offer on my LJ, but since I know you actively collect them, you get first dibs.

I never did see these ones at Target or Kmart, just Walmart. And while I liked them couldn't justify the 5.88 but at a buck forty-five, sold! I didn't expect them to go on clearance either, especially since Target didn't put the Halloween witch Barbie on clearance either, like they usually do. :?

Heh, well, since you put it that way, sure, I'll take all three. ;) Thanks!

The price tag is what keeps me from really getting into these, too. There are a ton I want, but not as many that I'd pay that much for. $3.99 or less, then I'd buy a lot more. I actually only have the one right now, plus the Egyptian girl on the way from a friend. So these will help my collection along a lot. I think I'm going to get Rissa Ruby when I go to TRU next though. She's really pretty.

Haha, it pains me not to buy awesomely cheap stuff so if I have a reason and can pass it on to others, all the better. Hopefully Karma will look kindly upon it, too. ;)

The weirdly-high price and there's just so many of them, I get overwhelmed trying to look at each one and distinguish it from the others. I want the Emerald one though just cause that's my birthstone. Still no sign of the international ones here. :( Just a few ice cream, wedding and gemstone ones. Oh and those birthday two-packs. There's those Bratz ones too that look almost identical. I think they were about the same cost though.

I'm pretty sure I still have your addy from the Neopets switch so I'll try and get those packed up this weekend. If by some grace the cat girl has reappeared add her too. ;)

Oh are you still after certain Neopets? They've gotten in a few new ones down here.

The Emerald one is lovely. I've had her in my hands a few times, though she hasn't made it to the checkout counter yet.

The main Neopets I'm currently after are the Series 4 pumpkin JubJub (probably long sold out...I never saw any of the Halloween trio in my stores) and the Series 5 Christmas Wocky. I'm interested in the blue Koi, too, but he's one I want to see in person. About half the time I think one is cute online, I don't like the actual toy. Like the Korbat or all the Elephantes. :)
