Tempest In The Barbie Teapot...

With sneak peeks of many of the new 2004 Barbie dolls just hitting the Internet, many of the Barbie chat rooms and bulletin boards are also buzzing about rumours regarding the new Barbie Collectibles dealer contracts and newly re-sized limited editons for many dolls.
Rumours say that no Barbie Collectibles dealer will be able to advertise Barbies for less than the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) and that no newly released Barbies can be sold on eBay until 1 year after their release. Also, its said that Barbie Collectibles will be offering some dolls in more limited editions than in years past.
I'll pass on more, solid information from Toy Fair starting on Sunday, when I'll be talking to representatives of Barbie Collectibles in person.
