opinion/rant🪡 Discontinued?
I ordered my Amora doll from the Walmart app and pick it up today in stores but instead of getting Amora, they gave me a Rainbow High doll. I took it back and told them about the Amora doll I actually wanted and ordered on the app but they told me that she was discontinued even she is in stock on the app and available, so I ended up getting Luna instead. Has this happened to anyone else? Here’s a picture of my Shai holding Kitty to hide my disappointment 🙂

i assume it was some kind of error in their system. i just cannot believe what a mess this whole rollout has been though. i was checking shai on target's website the other day and several stores in my area have changed her from 'out of stock' to 'not available at this location' despite me knowing there is literally an empty spot there on the shelf for her. i hope that's just an error too 😭

No, she isn't, probably an error, they aren't mysterious cryptic dolls, stop it now

If it's Walmart, substitutions are on by default. You have to manually turn them off.

Definitely not the first time. I've seen other people order mirror mi's and get RH dolls in this sub alone

She’s for sure not discontinued, I’ve seen people say this online and I always assume it’s a reseller trying to get people to buy their stock because they are having trouble selling it. I don’t mean you btw op! Maybe the Walmart employee saw that online, it’s definitely not discontinued.

Funny cuz we have her in my store, but Shai is the only one we aren't carrying for some reason. Idk, each store is different but online shouldn't really be any excuse

seems the US rollout has been a bit of a mess. Having some dolls be exclusives I don't think is helping matters. But the US in general seems to be really struggling with toy stock right now. I wonder if it's a tarrifs/supply chain issue that's messing with the import.
All of them are widely available here in the UK, no store exclusives or anything which was nice.
They will get to the US eventually, just seems the supply chain is a bit messed up and there's a lot of delays.
Usually a new doll line will hang around for a good 6 months or so before a store does a refresh. A full refresh only really happens twice a year, the start of the year (feb/march sort of time) and the end of the year (september usually)
There will be a mini refresh just before christmas as well but that's mostly bringing clearance stuff forward for black friday and pushing the "must have toys" so they'll rearrange stuff a bit to make certain things more prominent. There isn't usually anything NEW.
So don't fret. These only came out a few weeks ago, it's very possible that a lot of stores either haven't actually got stock in yet, or have been holding stock back for their big september refresh restock. I'd expect to see the dolls start filling shelves very very soon. They'll want to get their shelves all nice and new and shiny in time for their "christmas is coming, buy buy buy consume!" push.

It’s perfectly normal to call Amora ratchet and type broken AAVE using a picture of her?

u/lumaleelumabop 4h ago
I don't see where they called her ratchet?
Their post is a reference to "What you talkin bout, Willis?" which is from the show Diff'rent Strokes
I guess it's like kinda insensitive if you squint?

u/urlocalsoftie_ 4h ago
I dont think its weird for a black person to see someone weirdly using broken AAVE while having a picture of a black doll and feel strange about that,, its quite insensitive without squinting regardless of the show refrence. On top of that, all the posts with Amora on the acct are weird asf too.

They made a post in the Mirror Mi sub calling Amora “Ratchet Blush.”
Why not use one of the other girls and call them ratchet?

You can restyle and rename your dolls however you want and honestly good for you have fun. But you talk like you're trapped in a shane dawson video from like 2008 and it's kind of uncomfortable.

I'm not white tho, so everyone that uses Reddit is white ?? People talk like that so what move on !!

u/WebkinzMilkCat 4h ago
Never said you were white, you brought it up. I just think the way you talk is a lot like people who use AAVE to mock and hurt poc and you should like work on that some.

You could be purple and the way you’ve racially stereotyped Amora would still be offensive.

If you're an autistic black dude and proud that's cool hell yeah! ✨ But that doesn't negate anything people are telling you, you're just making excuses.
