Best online store for Corelle Calin dolls?

[the mommy]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a Calin doll for my cousin's daughter. She turns one in a few weeks and I would love to get one for her. My daughter really likes hers (we bought it at local Right Start) but since the birthday girl lives states and states away I thought an online retailer would probably be a better bet. Any advice appreciated- I love this board. My husband. . . not so much. :)

Thanks!

We got ours at kidsurplus, where there's a bit of a discount to offset the shipping fees.

We got one for around $20 at Kidsurplus as well.

Thanks everyone- looks like the consensus is kidsurplus. Do they ever have deals on shipping or should I suck it up and order? :)

I am thinking of ordering the Calin "laughing bright" since the little one I am buying for has brown eyes. I can't tell from the picture but is the face different from the "charming pastel" version? Not that it really matters, I am clearly spending waaay too much time worrying about which doll to buy!!

Thanks again-

Yes, the faces are different:

I'd buy the one whose face and clothes you like best. Ours doesn't have the same color eyes as DD's but she could care less. She loves her "baby"!

I recently bought the Laughing Bright Calin doll for my 1 y.o. I liked the bright outfit and the brown eyes. We've been very happy with the purchase. And boy, did I obsess over dolls also!

Thank you all for your help- it always helps to hear from someone who has the item and likes it. Hopefully the birthday girl will like it too! This community is wonderful- people are always so helpful. :)
