RB WANT LIST

Tue Apr 06, 2010 3:13 pm

UPDATED on 8 June 10...

I'm looking for the following items, all MIB unless mentioned otherwise.

Gen 1:

RB Star Shoe Doll. I just realized this is the only Mattel RB version that I don't already have in one form or another.

Small RB Red Bottom doll.

Two Large OJ Sprites

Hardbody Starlight

All Doll Carriers

All girl sprites less Posie and Dee Lite.

Stuff from Canada that I don't already have. I have RB large and small, Red, Yellow, Green, Indi and Starlight plus a wallhanging.

Dolls from France that only have Blondine Arc-En-Ciel on the packaging and written only in French, especially the large RB. I have small RB, Murky and Lurky.

Certain dolls from Spain with ARCO IRIS in small black letters.

Baby Sprites from Germany in balls.

Dolls from Mexico or the rest of Spanish-speaking Latin America with ARCO IRIS in large red letters, especially RB herself small and large. I have Blue, want the rest.

Large RB from Brazil, printing on box in Portuguese. Box is white and doll and clothes are a little different to Mattel dolls. I have small.

Sail Mobile toy.

Anything from Holland written in Dutch, but won't be Mattel.

For the collection of Marie-Louise: Canary, Lurky, certain Mattel wallhangings and toys.

Gen 2:

Large. At least two RB in different outfits, one must be a version that I don't already have. And an MIB one from Europe would be AMAZING!!! I'd also take a pair of nice loose Gen 2 large RB dolls as well

Small. RB

There's a few Gen 3 things I'd like but not many. The Color Castle is one of the few.

Some Gen 4 later on.

OK, that's all for the moment.

I saw one on ebay.com today for USD 67.

Me too !

But I will lurk for a lower price ...
cause I have to pay a lot for shipping and customs dues extra ! ;-)

Highest price I would pay for a nice Kitty would be 40 $ ... but not more ! ;-)

I don't think that USD 40 will be enough for a decent one. Even EUR 50 isn't going to get you anything to be proud of.

Sorry, but she is rare enough to get higher prices than most of the other RB toys from Gen 1.

Oh ... good to know that ...

Think I have to deliberate about buying a Kitty a little longer then.
I am not a big fan of cats normally ... like dogs a lot more.
Maybe this is the reason why I do not want to spend a lot of money for a Kitty brite ... she would be great to complete my collection despite everything.

I will keep my eyes open for a nice Kitty with a bearable price.

Why not find out exactly what the import costs will be? Normally you'll start with 19% Mwst/TVA/VAT and perhaps import duties. There should also be a fixed fee to process a small packet. Understand there is usually a price where no taxes apply and it can come in for no extra costs so you need to find out what this amount is. Your local Zollampt can tell you or maybe you can find it online.

Custom charges would be manageable if the offering price would be acceptable.
You are right ... it s always possible to calculate true entire costs !

How much should pure delivery charges cost from USA to Germany for a Kitty ?

Custom charges are quite cheap compared to shipping costs ...
even small packages from Japan do cost less than ones from the USA ! ;-)

I turn it over in my mind ... I hope for a good chance furthermore I guess ! ^^

Not sure if you have this but I found while looking at stuff for fun on ebay. I found an in box Rainbow Brite with Azurine on the packaging. Here is the name of auction NR RAINBOW BRITE 7233 & TWINK GASPARD AZURINE 7233 NRFB.

Yes, I have both the large and small versions. That's the Canadian version of Rainbow Brite. Her French name for Quebec is Azurine, which comes from the color of her dress.

I saw that and the box is wide open at the bottom. If I can get it for next to nothing, it will be worthwhile.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
