[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a big doll person. I played with Barbies when I was little because I enjoyed the fashion, but it was rare that I actually did anything more than that. So I wasn't planning an AG experience for my DD, who turned 4 right around the time they opened the Tysons store. She's enthralled with them! My mother bought her a Bitty Baby when she was around one, but I didn't give it to her until she turned the recommended 3. What a waste; DD shows little interest. Clearly she's not a "baby doll" kind of kid, just like her mom. She does, however, love the regular AG dolls, especially the ones with a back story. So my mom bought her last year's Girl of the Year (Kenani), Kenani's chair and a bunch of clothes for Christmas, and we bought her some additional AG clothes and accessories, also for Christmas. DD still doesn't really play with the dolls, but she loves, loves, loves to change their outfits and style their hair! She's getting a doll that looks like her for her birthday from my mom and couldn't be more excited. She also likes the mini dolls, which are miniature versions of the historical dolls. They're still expensive, but are far cheaper at $22 than $110 for a full-size. Based on my nieces and older children of other friends, it seems 12-14 is when they finally grow out of AG and move onto something else. I'm not sure we'll last that long, but it's been a good investment for my DD, far better than some of that other plastic crap we were buying her.

As for Our Generation from Target, I think the quality isn't there and, as one PP noted, it's somewhat frowned upon. I hear the clothing isn't great, so haven't even bothered investigating. Friends do comment that the accessories (e.g., salon chair, bed) are definitely worth it, so we decided to try to wardrobe for $55 versus nearly $400 for the one at AG. It's definitely not the same quality, but for what it is, it will do.[/quote]
