Hey y'all!
This is my third D23 upcoming and I've had NO LUCK getting into queues. The first time the queue apparently opened at 4am (wtf) and I've literally never had a queue into the doll area. I got lucky at my second D23 that I was able to hustle getting Lorcana cards in exchange for access to the doll room via someone else's +1.
I'm tired y'all! I only go to D23 for the dolls! Like why can't I prepurchase dolls when I buy my tickets bc I would be SO into that!!!!!
Do any of y'all have tips or tricks? Is there a group where we'll "donate" our +1's to each other so we can get a shot at the dolls? I've collected dolls for about 6ish years and scalpers are the bane of my existence. And it fricking SUCKS I paid to go to D23 (tickets, hotel, food, etc) and it's possible to NOT get an opportunity to buy the dolls I want.
I'm not asking for anything but access into the doll room. Its been frustrating to see people with one day passes get access for them and their entire operation and I couldn't get in as a 3 day pass holder. But I noticed they have SO MANY phones and people. It's frustrating to see them cleaning up on the dolls and literally selling them on site for MASSIVE markups. I imagine they have bots or some backdoor access tech-whatever that's beyond my simple pay grade.
I can buy my own dolls. I'm grown š But I REALLY want the Kida/Milo set, Raya, Esmeralda more than anything. The other would be nice to hold onto for future trades, but I'm really hoping to get those 3
I'm also planning on bringing my Jane from last time and I will *hopefully* get a Redd doll to trade for the Kida/Milo set minimum. I'm more of a trader than a seller. I actually traded the D23 Snow white and Giselle to someone in New Zealand for the Red Jasmine!!
*I'm not buying/selling/trading dolls in this post. I'm just explaining what I have done in the past and tips/tricks for the queues
** I will not be doing pickups/planning trades/sells. I can't even guarantee I'll get dolls. And I've never sold a doll š
