- We had so much fun touring the store- and I was NOT expecting it to be so huge and spectacular compared to the other stores! I bet the Middleton store is even more grand...

I"m a barista with blue hair and the amount of people who sent me the coffeeshop AG girl with blue hair when she was announced was INSANE
To answer your question about the Truly Mes. In early September they retired all existing Truly Mes and released 25 new dolls. Thats why there's so little right now. All the new dolls have the painted eyelashes. They also released the new meet outfits (the t-shirt dresses). There's technically different meet outfits, but each Truly Me has their set meet outfit. Hope this helps!
Man there were a few I had my eye on :( boo! I hope they do better with actually representing kids as they progress but the colored hair is pretty fun!
Thank you :)
@@xCanadensis I get you, I was looking at getting #58 because of her unique hair and now I have to find her second hand for crazy prices :(
Are these dolls available in the United Kingdom please
I just noticed that the black and white photos in the day of the dead display at 34:40 are all retired truly me dolls😂
It’s so funny and so sad! 😂😭
@@stephaniediamond516 it really is!
Yeah, they completely retired the existing Truly Me's and have just the new dolls now. Lots of us were really bummed about that. There aren't a lot of kids with colored streaks or completely colored hair so, like you said, it really narrows down a person's choice on what doll looks like them. Also, if you're interested, I turned you and a few other AGtubers into American Girl dolls on my channel recently. 😁
This makes me soooo nostalgic! I remember I had a scaled-down Kaya doll (idk what they were called?) when I was little because we couldn’t afford the full-sized one and I loved her soooo much. I remember really really wanting Josefina too but I couldn’t get her so instead I just saved up and bought a pack of accessories for her? I don’t remember much about it except I would play with her scarf a lot, just looking at all the details and running my fingers over it and thinking it was so pretty. I’d completely forgotten about all this until just now, I wonder where my tiny Kaya went? :’) I still have my Kathleen doll (from the defunct Girls of Many Lands line, which I think was meant for slightly older kids), though her shoes are long gone. Memories…
I loved the American Girl Chicago store when I was in college in Chicago. I used to just go and look at everything to make me feel better. I could never buy anything because I didn't have the money while in school, but now I have quite the collection. I do miss that store though, it's my favorite ❤️
Wow this was a blast from the past I’m like 20 years out from any amarrican girl knowledge, Addy had a little yellow canary that came with a set. I tried so hard to get all the animals for my girls, it’s amazing to see how many there are now.
I never liked this dolls, but seeing them displayed like this and all the diversity they have, so cute and the play sets are insane.
I Stan the ignore this everytime u went past the hp stuff jk Rowling should not be supported at all 💗 love. Ur videos!!
I don’t understand why she didn’t go and look at the HP stuff. Why shouldn’t JK Rowling be supported?
@@FlapackandGregsPS5 go look up why jk Rowling is problematic. it’s a widely known thing
@@FlapackandGregsPS5 To mention a few things, she doesn't like/understand trans people and has said problematic things in relation to lgbt+.
@@keeptaiwanfree really know JK Rowling well do you who are you to say who people can’ and cannot support her harry pitter books are amazing
I didn't understand why she did that, I thought she hated HP or something😅 but now I do understand it and think she did well ❤️
awe this gave me so many memories of going here as a kid! i’m from the suburbs so i go to chicago a couple times a year but when i was younger we used to go during christmas and always stop at the american girl store and me and my sister would run around looking for stuff to add to our christmas list, we never ended up getting dolls because they were so expensive but going there is still super sentimental lol
Omg, please do more American Girl content. They just revamped their truly me line and I recommend TheDollStudio by Kris’ video on how to take care of Evette’s hair.
Oh I know how! I was just nervous about kids
I can see how you couldn’t leave either of them behind. Absolutely love them both. It’s a tie. 💖💖💖
3:40 when she called Courtney Maryellen I died 😂
I’m so sorry they’re so similar 😭😭😭 whoops! The space costume is the thing that made me immediately think it was Maryellen bahaha
@@xCanadensis We all make mistakes! It was also really fun seeing someone who isn’t up to date on American girl react to all the new things sense I usually know everything that’s going on.
I loved watching you be so excited about everything!
I’m glad to see some AG content because I just got my first AG dolls: Claudie and a #67. I had no interest in them before, but then I realized the quality of the hair and the clothes. That store is like a museum where you can buy stuff. I could easily drop $20,000 if I won the lottery.
It seems with the Truly Me that they cut down the selection to encourage people to create a CYO, which is more expensive. If I am not mistaken, there is only one doll with your colouring (which is basically like mine), and it is just the Nanea mold, which I think looks better as Nanea herself.
I watched this while unboxing my GNO Bratz dolls! They are just now available in The Netherlands! It's so fun watching this video, it feels like being with a friend!
Thank you for this video. We did the virtual tour online of one of the american girl stores. This would be so fun. I bought my little girl a few 2nd hand american girl dolls and items. She loves them. We even got a red rc car and Julie's bathroom 2nd hand. Super cute. She also loves the our generation dolls and playsets. She took one of her our generation dolls to the pumpkin farm. It was so cute. I too hope to find nanea's market someday. It's so cute. I was not sure she would like them but she loves them. She loves dolls just like me. We saw the new house in the magazine. Super cute but we would need more room.
The Janie x Jack dress looks gorgeous on Truly Me 109, it really complements her skintone. Such a pretty collection. I’ve been obsessed with Truly Me 92, she came out earlier this year and I’ve been waiting to see if AG does any holiday sales. Idk if you’ve seen the Costco AG stuff already but they are selling Truly Me 27, 67, 82, and 84 who all have natural colored hair. They are all in soccer sets though so I think $10-$20 more than just buying a Truly Me from AG. There’s WellieWisher sets as well, and if I remember correctly you can save around $10 on Costco AG sets if you can find it in store as opposed to online.
This was very enjoyable to watch, I love your enthusiasm for everything!
they need to bring ivy back she was my first AG i’m so sad i got rid of her :(
The whole best friends lineup seems to be gone ever since Cécile and Marie-Grace were a financial failure. It’s such a shame because it was my absolute favorite line. We needed to see Kirsten and Rebecca’s friends at least :(
@@xCanadensis it’s a shame honestly i think they just hate us
Those Wellie Wishers are adorable was thinking of getting one they aren't bad price used. I like them more then the 18 in. ones because they are smaller and more reasonable priced.
I’ve had great luck finding Wellie wishers second hand for very inexpensive prices. They are easy to fix up to look new because the quality is so nice. Glitter Girls clothing & accessories fits them perfectly too.
@@veronicanovak8646 I was watching one on Mercai but it sold. Maybe it's for the best I get the feeling I would continue to buy clothes for her and that adds up.
I actually just bought Camille used for $30 and the rose dress that was in this video for $23 on Mercai. The dress is a great holiday dress without it hitting you over the head with Xmas. Was going to get Willa but I can't seen to find her without messy hair for a good price. If I get tired of her I can always sell her and the dress these dolls are quite popular. She would look good as the photo I send to my contacts wishing them a happy holiday.
American Girl is super expensive! I have one doll, Samantha, but invested in over 20 outfits for her. I would like to get Tenny if she is still available. I have two of her outfits.
Loved this video so much! I don’t have American Girl dolls but all the outfits accessories and playsets are so tempting. Usually I get my life as or our generation because they are in stores and I don’t live anywhere close to American Girl stores! But I’m very tempted by all the bonus stuff so I might look at getting some for my SmartDolls for the holidays
The mini dolls were originally created as 6 inch historical dolls. There are also GOTY mini dolls for 2013-2017. The mini dolls have been discontinued. Courtney’s mini doll is a mini Molly, which had already been created. There is no mini Courtney or mini Claudie. Courtney’s Molly was the end of the mini dolls.
I am sorry to hear they are discontinuing the mini dolls. Those were the only ones I could really afford for years.
I'm an older lady, and my dream would to go to the AG store with unlimited cash. I own 5 so far, but still planning for more. I'm jealous!
Back in the early 2000s they had stick on earrings similar to the stick on earrings in that one holiday outfit
Yay what a fun video!!! I can’t wait for you to set up your ag!! I haven’t been into ag as much as I use too and this totally helped me want to go to my ag store soon thank you!
That was so fun! Congrats on your 2 new grey-eyed beauties. :) Thanks for sharing your trip with us!
I love how you respect everyones privacy, even better that you inserted a cat pic as a censor bar haha
Hey,thanx ⁴ Great video.Loved the in AG store filming, sooòo fun 😊.Just found ur channel.
Warmly,
💕Lisa
When I was little I wanted an AG doll. But my mom told me they were too expensive. Then let me and my sister get these little mommy dolls instead. And someone gave me a pair of AG shoes and I think a plushie for my doll so I could play with them. I just wish they were cheaper cuz I still want one!
You’d be surprised how affordable they are online. I just bought a girl of the year for $70 with three outfits!
You can find a lot of them on Ebay. I bought 2 from them. Good condition and under 50.00 each. I just clean them up, style their hair and buy outfits for them.
36:57 omg the Equality sticker … so adorable
I have Ivette bought her last year for my birthday I am a grandma who collects doll I love all your videos you make them exciting and your boyfriend is such a good young man he really supports you God bless you both
So happy you were able to enjoy Chicago! For as long as I remember the store has always had those same character boxes. I assumed they were at every store.
They did reduce the amount of truly meals they had, the reason they did this is because they’re no longer going for it’s supposed to look like you kind of look they are going for it’s a best friend for the kid
Janie & Jack is a high end children apparel store. There is one I believe in the same outdoor shopping area that my AG store is located. The Janie & Jack collection is the holiday collection for this year. I didn’t get the outfit but I did get the coat you got and the boots. I also have Evette and bought 109 with 122 and 118.
I have an AG doll named Anna. I even got her a Frozen Anna dress for her
AG CONTENTTTTT😭 i can finally add new videos into my "xCanadensis American Girl" Playlist😅
More is coming! I need to fix up the current collection, redress them… and a lot more. I just try not to buy things that go to collections I can’t display so they were on hiatus for a while
I loved this video so much
I used to love the Kit movie with Abigail Breslin!!
omgggg i actually live in one of those buildings above the ag store 😋 it's so cool i go there like every day!
That’s why I was there
@@xCanadensis then why didn't you tell me you were coming? :(
I am in your walls
@@xCanadensis omg slay
i dont collect ag dolls but i still have josefina and kaya from childhood and i love watching ag videos. i cant believe you dont have kaya! she has both historical and modern outfits (although maybe all the modern outfits are retired now)
Omg I’ve been to the AG place Chicago 3 times, I love it there! I went this summer!
I definitely want to go back. I’m just shocked at how far superior it was!!
OMG they are so cute! those 2 Dolls are the one I'm eyeing for! Now I don't know who I'm gonna get first!
Glad you enjoyed your trip at the City of the Bean! :> Love your videos! ❤️
Love the AG content 🥰 also I had to skip to the haul bc I’m actually going to ag place by in like. A week. and didn’t want to spoil it for myself lol
This was fascinating! Very fun watch!
Здравствуйте!👋Отличная выставка, красивые куклы!👍
ive never really wanted an american girl doll before, but this video made me fall in love with corrine and nanea! will def need to pick them up eventually!! also... which bratz is behind you with the purple silk outfit? shes stunning
Looks like a Bratz World Yasmin but I could be wrong. 😩 the one that comes with “Yasmin’s house”
@@hanami6240 thank u!!! i think it is her
the LA store used to have the interactive displays at the historical section!!! unfortunately with the location change the historical displays have had a very drastic downsize :(
I like so much ♥️
I love your videos! ❤
I want to have a daughter so bad so I can take her to American Girl to get the same joy and excitement I did going there years ago 😭❤
They are super cute 😍 I like them both!
omg that story about your mom has me crying thats so sweet
So happy to watch a video by you that doesn't hurt my wallet...but still fun to watch!
i agree 100 percent with you on the first doll you showed when I seen her on the website when she was first announced I freaked out cause shes beautiful and I will someday get her
My favorite thing you got is the Janie & Jack dress you bought.
First!
Love AG content 💙😃
Oh wow there is one in Chicago might have to make a road trip over there
It’s such a cool store- I was shocked! I am very lucky to have had one in Houston when I lived there but WOW this Chicago one is amazing
Hate to break it to you but…..the world by us dolls r totally being phased out Maritza is already gone and 1 of her outfits is left and Evette/makena are both on sale for $65 and their outfits are already gone😭😭
Interesting shop, we dont have them back here, have fun :)
So my birthday is next month and there’s an AG store in Orlando so now I’m like COUNTING THE DAYS until I can go ughhhh. 😭😭💗💗💗💗I don’t even know who to get yet! I always wanted one as a kid but never got one. 😩😩💔 I guess I’m going to just go and then let one find me like you did! 🥰💗💗💗💗 in the meantime Barnes and noble has Welliewishers so I’m considering a Welliewishers in the meantime lol🥰😍
I have dolls like those’s ones in Canada but I can’t remember what they are called! Beautiful dolls!
I am Canadian. We do have American Girl dolls in Canada. They are sold at Indigo stores, but it is just a little section in the store. There are more online at Indigo. We also have Our Generation at Toys R Us, My Life As at Walmart, Maplelea online (made in Canada), and Newberry at Canadian Tire. American Girl USA does ship to Canada, so basically everything is available here. I would love to visit an actual big store to see it all in person.
I'm always screaming, crying, throwing up whenever I see Claudie, Josefina, Melody, and Nanea because they're all so pretty, but I know I can't afford their full sized dolls. My only American Girl doll is *supposedly* Girl of Today #3 or someone similar, but she has none of her meet pieces and I got her at Goodwill for $15.
If anything, I'll try and get my hands on the mini dolls of the dolls I love.
I have 11 dolls so far ! Lol
How long until there's a historical doll from 2004 😂
Girl of the year dolls cover that era so I think they won’t (2001, 2003 and 2005 … they skipped 2004 and 2002)
Do the American Girl dolls still have the “permapanties”?
They do not
I made it through the whole video phew!!!
I have an original Molly. She’s been sent to the hospital once already - I need to restore her again or something because unfortunately my dog got to her :(.
How did you get a discount at the store?! Was there a sale? Heading there next month and probably going to be needing to get a bunch! 😮 I love the Chicago American girl store but it was so much cooler in the 90s at the previous location.
There was a sale! We didn’t know going in actually, there were just signs everywhere about it
OMG i want all the animal play sets, sooo cute!!! to bad i don't live in USA :(
I can’t stand the kids screaming, my petty ass would be screaming at them to stop screaming, I love how you stayed calm thru it
Fr my mood would be ruined until that kid stopped screaming if I was there
i'm getting over a cold 🍬 🔦 🍲 🍵 ☕ 🍵 🎮🎮🍁🍁
Never really cared for the look of AG tbh. Though a few I thought were cute. I have visited this store though. On a family trip to Chicago my sister wanted to go. I do recall liking Kaya at the time a little but I generally like more realistic BJD dolls. Which brings me to the reason I could see myself visiting this store someday. I believe AG doll size is close ish to MSD size in the very least, I believe some of the accessories and such is close to scale.
Omg I haven’t been there in a long while dang the stuff there when peo0e say is cheap it’s cheap cause they know they can buy it or save up for it facts my family struggles hard with money sadly
Just out of curiosity why did u bypass the Harry Potter costumes?
She's opposed that jk rowing doesn't believe trans woman are woman.
@@normanshadow1 that may be the reason bit you are just guessing.
@@normanshadow1Dolls don’t have genitalia, my good friend. And Brooke is a decent human being, and smart too, she of all people would know fictional characters aren’t real. Last I heard she hadn’t even seen or read Harry Potter (not to stereotype, but she did grow up in the South…) so she wouldn’t even know if that did apply. Heck, have you seen how she defends Monster High G3? As a queer mentally ill woman, I promise you don’t have to force politics into everywhere it’s not, it’s actually kinda creepy.
Fictional characters represent real people…
I know that transphobic vitriol ends up hurting real people. I don’t need to have experienced Harry Potter to be aware of the things she continues to say online to the point that she’s become a martyr to transphobic people and racists. I’m sure most people who like Harry Potter aren’t like that but I find it weird and backwards that AG, a VERY outspoken progressive brand, would collaborate with HP after everything. Idk if the books or movies say anything inflammatory and I don’t really have anything against people who enjoy the media related.
Also my family was never religious idk why you’re assuming I must be from a weird hyper-Christian pearl clutching family o.o
Is it just me or when she at the end is talking about the dolls together the brats doll in the back has the same hair as the truly me doll😅
this video makes me sad because most of the historical stuff you showed is gone now 😭 they've cubed like alll of the historicals ;(
It's literally 12:17 am for me right now . I am awake because I was bored lol . Anyways, I am the first one commeting on your videos !
Claudie’s dog is either a yorkie or Maltese. Schnauzers aren’t as fluffy
I hope you bought 3dolls and that house and at least the bakery lol so cute not my thing but very cute 🎃
I like you your all vlogs ❤️
Brett and me are on the same page when it comes to american girl prices. Hi5 bb
My dream is to go to American Girl store
I think the other ones that dont have colorful hair are in a sepprate area
You saw the entire store- it was a relaunch
I went there to
Omg same
that looks like a Rosie or Rosemary or Primrose!
I have a Amreican girl new toy 😘
I have a name suggestion for your new doll you could call her Rose
we were pitting bratz and MH together all this time when the real fight was ag and bratz…
The Maryellen in the beginning of the video is actually Courtney lol
I think she is just too excited seeing all these dolls. But yes your right.
U called Courtney Maryellen
A testament to how similar they are 😭
@@xCanadensis lol I’m gonna subscribe
33:40 all those dolls are canonically dead now
Great Video!
The sad thing is that if you all had been black you never would have had the freedom to film and touch everything in that store the way you all did. That’s one reason I gave up on my American doll collection. I could never enjoy choosing products in that store. The store clerks followed me so closely it felt suffocating.
Did they shame you for that? I’ve only been to the actual stores a few times (probably 10 total) and I’ve always observed the displays being made to play with and one of those places where you catch a lot of people filming. But I can imagine as the dolls do attract nasty racists in their community that some of the employees may follow suit. I’m so disgusted to hear that happened to you, I’m so sorry.
@@xCanadensis Thank you! If it had happened only once I would have just dismissed it. But I used to go there a lot and it always happened. But that’s okay; these days I would rather shop at Target and buy Rainbow High dolls anyway 😁!
I hate kira so much 😒
Why is she wearing a mask? 😅
Is it pertinent to the content? I’m not sure why it’s a relevant question?
I didn’t want to get sick from traveling. It is very easy to get sick in crowded spaces and I dislike getting sick. It is a sensible thing to do
@@xCanadensis that’s your choice if u feel like it helps you by all means. I just asked because research has shown that for the coronavirus for example the mask does not help unless it’s a surgical mask. A young person with no pre existing conditions has a robust immune system so I don’t think it’s necessary but the video itself is pretty fun and I like your energy and excitement … keep up the enthusiasm and good content
I don't understand how you can be more into Monsters High and such rather than the AG dolls. You abandoned your most gorgeous dolls for some that don't speak to me at all. I just don't get it.
You really need to come back 🥰
I don’t really understand this comment. I never abandoned anything and my tastes just differ from yours 🤷♀️
@@xCanadensis I know. You are absolutely right. I am not making much sense. 🤣. You abandoned the best dolls ever 😭😭😭. Don't mind me, at all. Just see so many really liking Monsters High dolls and I can't relate. It is like the new craze - i acknowledge that. Me with mixed emotions. 😭🤣🥰😉
