starter kit size changes

Buffington · Guru

OK, we have the deluxe starter kit (with 19" and 22") http://www.secristdolls.com/inc/sdetail/697, then we have the basic starter kit with the 12" and 19" (there's a small one for ya) http://www.secristdolls.com/inc/sdetail/16840, and then last but not least we have a really small beginner starter kit (with a 6" mini) http://www.secristdolls.com/inc/sdetail/42471
So you do have 3 to start with.
I think they like to give different options instead of having it the same all the time. If you really want a Zoe I can check with the office and see if you can get that kit instead with the basic starter kit instead of what's offered online.

Oh, and BTW, if you get to choose the Zoe in place of one of the other dolls, I can tell you it won't make the kit any cheaper than it is right now.

Thanks for the reply. May I ask you just one quick question? Are the head sizes of the 17" and 19" babies very different?

Buffington · Guru

I'll measure and let you know.

Miss Reborner · Senior Member

Okay, that'll be great. I wouldn't get the starter kit with Zoe replacing a 19" doll, as I could get everything in there cheaper separate with Zoe. So you don't know of a preemie starter kit coming soon in the horizon? If you ever do, please let me know. But maybe there's not such a big difference in the 2 sizes, and I'll be fine with a 19", or maybe I'll just order everything separately. Thanks very much for measuring the heads for me.

Miss Reborner, Premies are 28 cm and 32cm for 19". Only 4 cms different weirdface

That seems like not too much of a difference. I assume you're measuring the circumference of the area to be rooted? Thanks.

"For a limited time the Basic Newborning Starter Kit and the Deluxe Newborning Starter Kit will include a 19" infant of your choice with 1/4 limbs."

Apparently they will be going back to the 17" preemie kits in the starter kits but for right now (limited time) they have the others. I guess just watch the website. :)

Really, the 19" kits are only around for a little while in the Starter kits? I didn't see that on the website. If they go back to the preemies in there, they might have to consider lowering the price, as all the items included in the Basic Starter Kit, bought separately from Secrist, add up to only $96 aprox. , so buyers will actually get a slightly better deal buying things separately. Just thought I'd mention this, no offense intended.

None taken hun. And the quote I made is from the website :)
Also, I THINK I saw in there that the price is temporary for the larger kits (DON'T QUOTE ME!!) LOL

Miss Reborner · Senior Member

Hi, could you post me a link? I just don't see it. And the possibly temporary prices, are they going up or down, and when? Thanks.

Sorry about that Andrea, I can't find it. I know it said it and I think it was in an e-mail to me from the office.

Yes Mo, I too am a dealer, and yes, we alllllll have to pay for our kits :o

Miss Reborner · Senior Member

Okay, well I've ordered my basic starter kit with 19" Jasmine. I'm so excited! They just sent me an e-mail saying they shipped it, and I can't wait to get started on her. I'll do Zoe after her. :)
