Hello, I'm a mom of two but one is only 9 months the other is 4 and she just found out about LaLa's because of Coral Sea Shells. I work full time and play with my girls on the weekend. I think I like the dolls more than my daughter she's more obsessed with My Little Pony which I can fully support as I'm an 80's baby!

Hi bunnydoll! Welcome to the group! I'm the same way - I think I love the Lalas more than my daughter does sometimes! We're glad to have you with us - we have several other MLP fans around here, too.

I think I like the dolls more than my daughter For the record, I completely misread this part and thought "I know how she feels..."

Hello, I'm Shasta. Although I've been in the sport of doll collecting for years, and I've been stalking the Bittybuttons brand since it was first announced, I finally picked up my first full size Mango just this March. Low and behold she is the favorite of my entire collection, and I LOVE designing and sewing for her. Just a few days ago I placed an order for Toffee, so soon she will have more company. I can't wait to dress the two of them up together. I have until the end of this month and the beginning of next month to wait for her to arrive. This is also my first time doing pickup internet purchases with Walmart. I'm hoping it'll work something like the Costco photo pick up! LOL! I decided to join the boards because of the Snowy announcement. Besides being a huge Snow White fan, I was also on the fan bandwagon that wanted to see her blown up, and I'm still eagerly waiting to see if Curls will be too sometime in the future. I don't collect any of the minis because I solely like to sew for my dolls. I'm kind of naturally a lurker, so I'm going to try TRY TRRRYYYY to post comments. Sometimes it can be hard to think of something to say, especially when others have already said exactly what's on my mind. I can promise though, I'll be watching you.... ~dundun dunnnnnnnn~

Hi Shasta! Welcome to the group! I adore your photos of Mango and the sweet little apron you made for her. I think you'll really enjoy having Toffee, too .. those two are among my favorites. Hope to see more photos of your dolly outfits soon!

Hi, I'm Aubrey! I found this forum to find other lala fans I have 2 daughters who love these dolls, we started collecting them a couple of months ago. We started out "just" getting a few mini figures, which has bloomed into more, as I am sure some of you can relate! We got our first full sized dolls a couple of weeks ago (Prairie Dusty Trails and Rosey Bumps n' Bruises). Glad to meet you all!

Welcome Aubs - yeah, I thought we were going to get just a few dolls too, a year later we have every doll they have made (minus Harmony because I won't pay that much plus she's mechanical which I'm not too thrilled about), anyway..... We've all been there. This is a great forum with really nice people here! Jump right in!

Hi Aubrey! Welcome to the group! Yep, I think most of us probably started out just intending to get a few dolls, but these lalas sure are hard to resist! lol Just like lalacr8zy, we are now the proud owners of a nearly-complete collection at our house, too. We're so glad to have you with us. Jump in and enjoy the fun! ;D

I didn't realize that there was an introduce yourself thread. anyone else here from the philippines? My name is lisa. I have a daughter who is turning 2 years old next month. My friend got me into lalaloopsies just a few months ago. I run an online shop here in manila selling mostly pre-loved baby stuff that my daughter and my sister's twins had outgrown. then i started to venture out to pre-orders, which is kind of a big thing here. People pre-order stuff from US online stores. i buy fir them, use a forwarder to have items sent here then i charge them a sort of shopper fee. So my friend and i got around to talking about lalaloopsies and how the selection we have here is very limited. I explored doing a pre-order catalogue for lalas and when i saw how cute they were and when i knew who each of them were, i got hooked. What was supposed to be a batch of pre-orders for my store turned out to be half lalas, half business. I got mostly minis but i have a couple of littles and a of couple large ones with me now that all came last month (my forwarder uses sea freight and it takes 5-6 weeks for the package to get here, torture!). I have some more in transit that i am expecting to arrive before the month ends. Then some more coming next month and some more coming hopefully before christmas. So there. hi everyone!

Hello, I'm Bailey! Mother of none, but I do like picking up things that I enjoy. My tastes are somewhat varied I think, as I like to collect the small My Little Pony figures, some of the Transformers merchandise, and the odd model to build at times! At first I wasn't really into LaLas (since I found out about them around the same time as Coraline, the same story as others who don't like the brand)-- I didn't hate them, but I wasn't into them either. My friend's daughter brought one to work with her (she's 4) and I was really curious about it. She LOVES the brand, and would usually bring her doll with her when she came to pick up her mom. Last year me and my other friend bought ANOTHER friend a Marina Anchors for her birthday since she likes cute things, and since then I've been eyeing them for one that I couldn't resist. Toffee Cocoa Cuddles has almost gotten me twice-- I think she's my favorite fullsized doll. I then discovered the Minis for myself, and I managed to talk myself out of getting one every time I saw them until the Fairytale Collection. Curls 'N' Locks immediately came home with me, conveniently at the same time one of my best friends got one for herself, too. That placated me for a while until I found out about Dyna Might, who absolutely needs to come home with me, and then the Fun House Marina Anchors just has the cutest dress, and ohhhh Suzette La Sweet is just too cute in person.. So now I have a few Minis that grace my shelves! I really hope they give Pickles BLT a mini, because MAN she is just too adorable!

Hi, I'm 29 & from Australia. I was introduced to Lalaloopsy dolls just the other day, I haven't bought any yet as I wondering if it was strange for me collect them even though I don't have any girls (I have a son who will be 5 in January) I joined this forum to find others like me & so I can find info particularly on the htf dolls. I didn't want to post my questions on Facebook & have my friends read & think I'm weird!! Danni xx

Welcome Danni05 - I think there are many members on here that either collect the dolls for theirselves, or along with their kids (girls & boys). And for your age..... I'm 37 if that helps you feel any better! Lol! Don't worry about what others think, lala's are adorable and fun to collect. But I will warn you, they are like Pringles chips, you can't just have one!

Well, I don't know much about social norms in Australia, but it's pretty normal over here in the States. I know many grown men (some of whom are childless) who collect all sorts of toys and we have magazines and conventions devoted to it. I don't see why it should be weird for women to do the same thing.

Hi everyone My name is Ellie. I'm 13 years old and I've been collecting Lalaloopsy for a little over a year. We've recently moved and a few of my dolls and accessories went missing I'm trying to rebuild what I've lost and hopefully collect at least all the 13 inch dolls. I have collections of Strawberry Shortcake, Monster High, My Little Pony, American Girl, My Twin, and lots of other dolls but I haven't been as much as a dedicated collector as I am with Lalas ;D Can't wait to get to know you all!

Hi everyone! I'm Candy, mom of two awesome little girls. My older daughter Valentine (3 in January) fell in love with the Lalaloopsy dolls, and we've just started a collection of the minis for her. She plays with them for -hours-. I love them because they're so cute and friendly looking, and the outfits are adorable. Our other collection is Littlest Pet Shop (all three gens), so the LaLas in our house have a lot of animal pals to look after.
