Why would they retire Kirsten?? I'm really upset! :(

[kekm223]

I agree I LOVE Kirsten. I got her the day she retired. Yep December 25 2009. Her collection is adorable and now I have to get an outfit that was $28 for $80 off of eBay because I love it so much.

[agdollluver4eva]

I know! The retired her and I was like. "Jerks!"

[EmiElephant]

this sucks they didnt even warn us like they did the rest!!!!

[AGLover4eva123]

i really dont like kirsten but i love her stories shes awesome

[AGlover4eva1]

I was soo sad when they retired her! She was sooo expensive on Ebay I tried getting her for Christmas but hopefully I can get her. I LOVE HER COLLECTION they even retired her chalkboard and her birthday dress. It makes me SOO mad that they have to retire the dolls because your right she was a best seller! Samantha is my 2nd favorite beside Kirsten. I miss her soo much...they even retired Felicity and Elizabeth a few months ago...luckily they had a resell because people had cleaned out the who

[periotprincess2000]

noooooo josefina is next (well thats the rumor)i is sooooooooooo sad that is my first doll and he is THE PRETTIEST doll EVER i bummed out idont even hve her heirlooms or her accesorries yet :((((((

[xErinHD]

same thing with kaya

[prettypuppies1]

@xxxcuera123xxx you do relize they won't be retiring julie until like 2030? julie was created in 2006..... so i think your good

[prettypuppies1]

i don't get it! why can't they just keep the old dolls and add the new ones? wouldn't the company be BETTER if they kept the old and added new ones?

[campbellhousehold]

But there is a jly doll who looks like Kirsten and Samantha

[campbellhousehold]

Yeah I have Samantha so I make all her clothes ow

[felicity237]

i discovered her the very first / she was the 1st doll i ever wanted! makes me mad!

[hugobendana]

Oh no i wonted her so bad but i did not have the money now i do and she is gon i am sooooooooooo sad:-(

[disneyfanhannah]

i want kirsten so bad !!!!!!

[lynnrocks78]

They retired Kirsten to make space for Rebecca! That is so sad :'( They could have let Kirsten in and bring Rebecca in. I agree with u

[nilacookie10]

to be honest the reason they have retired the dolls is because there msking room for new dolls i mean sure the older ones are amazing but just think of it this way one doll out another one in who knows mayby another african american girl doll or a japaneese mayby somones parents in the IRAQE war just remember they may retire there dolls but thell NEVER reiter there company

[MileyAndSelenaAndVAH]

you know why they retired then? Cuz of Mattel and their stupid barbie dolls. They make room for them but not American girl dolls. I think barbie dolls should retire!!!

[dancerdoll116]

I love my kirsten doll!!!! i can't believe that they did that. That was even the year I bought her!!!

[wildernessgirl078]

I just ordered Kirsten off of ebay last week for $86. So excited(:

[shagbarkfarm10101]

It is just a scam American Girl is doing to earn more money :(

[pandablue467]

i think theyre retiring her because they wanna make more dolls ;[

i know how you feel D:

[jecieltp02]

They always retire the best dolls! And now I'm scared they'll retire Molly and Emily next year, because I want Emily soooo bad!

[TheLivdoll101]

They might reintroduce her next year with samantha

[LexiM411]

They retired Kirsten cuz not a lot of people buy her same thing with Feilicty she is going to be retired and not a lot of people is freaking out. I have 3 American girl dolls my first one was Felicity then for my 12 b-day i got julie and kirsten

[jimmynguyen6566]

MOLLY'S NOT LEAVING FELECITY IS

[Cupcake9881]

I kinda agree with you half and half. some reasons why they might retire her is those dolls arent selling as well as the others, so why still sell them if barely any people are gunna buy them any more? Also dont you want new dolls? They are probably out of room in the stores so they need to replace some dolls. And those dolls have been out like FOREVER.

[theREDNECKprincess24]

I cried over both samantha and kirsten being retired i really wanted them so badly couldnt american girl let us no at the beginig of the year that they r going to be retired instead of 2 months before

[thetopdollmodel]

kirsten was my first doll too and i really wanted some of her stuff

[YoFantasy01]

Molly is going after! Then Addy or Josefina! The forgotten four

Kirsten

Josefina

Kaya

Addy

One is gone. What will happen to the others?

[xkeifx]

@YoFantasy01 i hope not addy i love her

[YoFantasy01]

@xkeifx

Probably them all.

[LexiM411]

@xkeifx American girl will never do that to Addy,Kaya, and jhosefina cuz that would be rasist

[LexiM411]

@YoFantasy01 As i said before American girl would never do that to Josefina,Addy,and Kaya cuz tat would be rasist

[runabbyrun]

This makes me soo mad. I like American girl, but I am wondering whats gotten into them?! The best dolls are all going! It makes me want to cry. We should all write a not to AG saying for them to stop retiring dolls. It could be like a petition. I also don't think they need new dolls. They should just keep the historical collectionthe way it is now!!

[ASimpleNest]

It increases the value when they retire...and the urgency to buy the new ones before they retire. I'm 3 behind! I feel like I need to wait til my daughter is older to buy kaya, julie and the other new one. I got once once a year since I was 8, until I had them all then I was getting madame alexander..... They are a smart company to retire and release one each year actually.

[1webkinzfan1000]

NOOOOO!!!!!! HORRIBLE!! I love her and samantha and THEY retire all the good stuff?! AGH!!!!! Hate it!!! i loved her :(

[AGrocks532]

Let me guess theyll repace her hoping to make it better and wipe it fromour minds but wait we love Kirsten so we wont forget ever

[florafan1]

THAT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOO UNFAIR!

i bet they are retireing all of the Historical ones! or making new ones to replace them samantha was replaced i have get one

[weloveagdolls]

i heard that molly kaya addy josefina and emilly

[TaylorTube2000]

American Girl is retiring all the ornigal dolls. [P.S I cant spell]

[poisionapple212]

I have her whole collection!

and my parents went on ebay to buy her midsummer dress and fourth of july accesories: and it was 90$ for just some honey jars!

[ajandlady]

omg i am so upset too!!!! why would they retire her?!?!?!

[Aleliam1]

I remember the school outfit!

[MsPonyluver]

samantha,kirstin,and molly were the first dolls and AG likes to retire old dolls to bring in new hisorical characters like rebecca so they might be retiring molly on december 31st of 2010

[1webkinzfan1000]

@MsPonyluver omg your frecking me out * runs to AG store* I WANT ALL OF MOLLY'S COLLECTION!!!!!!! * gets collection; see's tv* Next to retire.... JULIE!

* sighs* darn...

[metallicamommy]

12-31-2009

[Templephanatic]

Molly IS next. She was third doll

[HGgrits]

Ok I compleatly understand your sadness, but just one thing... You said the one of the reasons they might be retiring Kirsten is because shes just not a big seller. But what about Samantha? The first to go, my first doll, was at the hight of popularity when she went. Im just trying to figure out the logics behind it. I love all the dolls, even now as Im older, and I wish they had room for each and every one on there shelf. Expecaly the originals!

[teddybear12399]

i don't even understand why people aren't getting kristen. I was at the american girl doll store a few weeks ago and no one was even paying any attention to her section it said in big letters that kristen was retiring

[teddybear12399]

kristen was one of the first american girl dolls so was samantha why are they retiring them?

[Marendigell]

I know! I heard a rumor that Molly would be the next to go. They're all my favorites, too! =(

[teddybear12399]

people are going to want the three that started the american girl doll collection

[MIXIEandOLIVE]

@Marendigell no not molly. I have her. Well I don't play with her anymore but still :(

[syd121101]

@Marendigell molly was not the next felicity was

[taylorswiftfangirls]

@Marendigell They're also retiring Elizibeth and Felicity next! :( Go to the American Girl website and you click on Felicity and Elizibeth, it says, " Say farwell to Felicity and Elizibeth" :'(

[TheAglover26]

@Marendigell I think why they reired her cause she has been out for a long time and she is a spical doll.And maybe she is one of the 4 forgot.Also I think people forgot about Molly so I think Molly is reitre this year.

[lpslover6844]

ur so right!!

[agXsnsd]

i luv kirsten but i dnt lke her outfit...

but idk about that but all i cre about is how her historical life is so facinating!!

and she looks really pretty!!

[nucleophilic03]

They should just keep the originals. I have Kirseten she was also my favorite. I her got in 1993 and she is still in great condition. It is sad to see her go :(

[xlastchancexx]

all of her outfits are sold out and stuff just look on the website

[agdollsrock123]

ugh i wanted them both soo bad molly mite be next ugghhh y shuld they retire any dolls im pissed

[trevlacxam]

They should  of retired kaya or josefina

[stephenwodadancerfan]

no they shouldnt

[trevlacxam]

nobody gets those but i think they should retire NONE!

[agXsnsd]

no they should not...

uuuhhh about 89% loves josefina... about 76% likes kaya..

KK???

[tui0jst]

first they retired samantha the one that i wanted so bad and now kristen and molly

[MatKatBff]

omg i want her for xmas sooooooooo bad i love kirsten she's soo pretty and i love her

[InspireMe88]

I don't understand why this popular doll company would retire anything period. Kids are born every damn day!! LOL

[actressisabelle]

i went to the ag place yesterday and asked them y and they said because she has been around soo long i think they might retier molly next

[smithmcrae408]

you are right

[americangirlpixar]

they didn't evan give her a movie or BFF

oh could you check out my tribut to Kirsten Vid

[okore]

I just don't understand why they decided to retire her without even adding a best friend doll for her....Singing Bird would have been cool. D:

[heyheygalfriend]

She is the best doll i love her i got her when i was 8 i love her and whole world

[AGLUVER14]

why does ag keep doing this. they are retiring the dolls that started american girl doll and made it the success that it is today. i remeber when i was 9 looking through my first american girl doll magazine with my friend, and kirsten and addy jumped out at the page to me and i just had to get them and now they are retiring kirsten, that is just wrong!!!!!! :(

[LATINARULE19]

i was going to buy her i hope i get her before they retire her

[sailorb1959]

I love Kirsten why did they have to retire her

[AmericanGirlLover94]

I feel your pain i love Kirsten's storys, and i love her acceseries, she was actually really Popular right beside Samantha, and Molly until they Braught out the American Girl movies and then girls just wanted Samantha, Molly, Felicity and plus they new dolls like Julie, Rebecca, Elizabeth ext. but maybe this mean Kirstens movie is next and not Julies, oh and i have a new video CHECK IT OUT please!!!
