Those Retired Items You Know You Will Never Get But Wish You Had Anyways

Everyone has some AG items that they wish they had but know they'll never get because they can only be found on Ebay for a bijillion dollars, right? I know I do! I'm going to show some of them to you...Maybe they'll make their way onto your dream wish list! These items are ranked by level of possibility of having them, from the least possible to the most possible.

1. Josefina's Piano


This little piano is so adorable - it'd fit amazingly in any little AG room. Unfortunately, I've read that it's the rarest AG item and there's usually 0-2 of them on ebay at any given time. Plus, they go for about $900. But, in a perfect world, this would be part of my collection.

2. Dress Like Kirsten Prairie Dress (image from curtdanhauser)

Time for a little AG history lesson. Around 1988, AG first released the dress like your doll line, with 4-5 life-sized outfits (per doll) matching each doll's clothes. Apparently, when Mattel took over, this line was reduced greatly to the size it is today (just nightgowns for historical dolls). I would LOVE Kirsten's prairie dress...It's so cute, it looks so comfortable, and Kirsten's meet outfit is already my favorite. However, these don't come up on ebay very often, mostly because they were expensive to start with and because it's hard to find the size you need. I'll bet that most of these existing dresses are at the backs of old closets.

3. Josefina's Toy Farm

This little set is so cute - and tiny! I would probably use this with Kirsten, since I don't have Josefina - the little wooden animals are so lovely! This is quite rare, though, it was retired after being available for only three years. But, in my dreams, I have it.

4. Kirsten's Swedish Dirndl

I LOVE THIS OUTFIT! It's adorable, beautiful colors, traditional northern European, and it fits in so well with Kirsten's story since she wore it on the boat to America. I REALLY wish they still sold this. However, it goes for as much as $200 on ebay these days.

5. Felicity's Work Gown

Despite its gray coloring, this dress is adorable and would look great with every doll!

Those are my top five on my dreamland AG wish list. Which AG items would you love to have, but doubt you'll ever get?
