I'm so glad you shared this footage. I really enjoyed seeing everything. It's so interesting that this store is no longer there, but that you still had the footage.
I’m so glad that I had the footage too! My husband and I went so that I could exchange my Isabel (I had ordered both of the twins and her wig was a bit off). I hurriedly did a walkthrough of the store. I wasn’t super happy with the footage so it’s just been on my phone. I remembered it and decided to edit it to see if it was salvageable. Editing the footage was a little different knowing the store was no longer there, it made me appreciate it more. I’m so glad I hadn’t deleted it!😅
Thanks for sharing. My daughter and I went to the New York store last weekend and spent lot of time talking about when she was a child and all the experiences we had together at the New York 5th Avenue store. The new New York store is smaller and not as magical. We went there regularly and it always seemed like an adventure each time. The store had three floors with the different lines on each floor. I am just glad we still have a New York store.
Thank you so much for sharing your memories of you and your daughter and the changes you both have experienced with the AG stores. It really echoes my experience with the new store in Dallas. Losing the magical adventure the AG stores once were is sad. They would have to do a 180 to recapture what has been lost. I also share your feelings about being glad that there’s still a store in our area. Thanks again for sharing your story. 💕
👋 Thankyou so much for sharing, I've yet to watch the other video's of new Dallas AG store.But that said after I do I'll come back here to leave you my thoughts. Sry 😮 you were so disappointed thankyou. Best Regard's, 💗Lisa
Nice to hear you once more; I knew that the Dallas A.G. store moved to a new location and is really nice see for the last time the old store which, as you tell, had a different magic. I don't realize to imagine how is the new location, but I suppose that is more a shop and less a fun park: I understand your disappoint, but is a sign of the times that are changing: there is more people who make shopping on line and less in the physical stores; if it is happening in Europe, let's imagine in the States. About me, I diffused the passion for these dolls more and more: there are some family friends who felt in love for them and probably I'll have to order soon some dolls at their request. It is needless tell that I love my ones always more: at this point I love them almost as daugthers; I already had to switch them to the summer outfit, but as we had an unusually cold and rainy April, they still are dressed for winter, as in my last video (I plan to post another one soon). I even began to watch the Wellie Wishers videos on the A.G. channel and find them really nice. I began to think to my fifth one and considered the Truly me 80 or a customized one if I'll not realize to find Sonali; I am anyway sure that the next has to be a dark skinned one; I'll make the step within next autumn. Have a nice day. Bye.
Thank you for your kind words.😊 I completely agree about the times changing, it’s a little sad to me. Change can be difficult. It sounds like you’re continuing to enjoy your dolls. 😊 I hope you’re able to get Sonali, but I’m f not it sounds like you already have a good plan. I’m sure whichever you decide she will be lovely. Thank you for sharing! Have a wonderful day 💕
@@agitssocute I planned to purchase her next autumn, together with others 2-3 dolls for my friends, as I had other expenses during this period. I found two Sonali dolls for sale (used) on ebay, but each of them cost almost 600$: well then, suits me more order a customized one from A.G.; it is possible mold one identical to her which, new, costs less than half. In one way or another, she has to be my self present for next Christmas; I am not in hurry 👍. P.S.: I recently ended to read the Nanea's book; I found it really interesting and moving: it tells very well how the war could be bad and scaring, overall for quiet and innocent teenagers as her. Now I am reading the Corinne's book, which looks passioning too. I like very much this stories; probably I will purchase other their books next time.
@@67luis64 you have really done your research and it sounds like it will pay off 😊 I think it’s a great idea to get a custom doll…you can get what you want that way. You sound organized in your process of making decisions as to your doll purchases. You are more patient than me. Autumn will be here before you know it!😃 Congratulations on your choices. Have a wonderful day!💕
@@agitssocute Finally the warm sunny spring is arrived even by me, so I changed the outfit of my A.G: dolls and posted this video: ua-cam.com/video/Rd5v41HmSNc/v-deo.html It has been a complex work, even as I don’t have much experience and manual skill as the american A.G. collectors; but it was fulfilling and made me feel as a real daddy of so many young girls. It was so emotional. Have a nice day.
The pendant around the neck of Molly is a present found in the Easter egg; I don’t know by you, but in Italy there is the tradition that for Easter we buy a chocolate egg, inside of which there is a surprise; Inside my egg there was this pendant, perfect for the doll.
It’s located off of North Central Expressway (75) The new store is light and bright, but I miss the size and location of the Galleria store. It doesn’t have the wow factor in my opinion. This store is more difficult to get to, which may mean that I won’t go as often. I’m glad we still have a store in the metroplex I just miss the old one. I hope you get to check it out soon and I hope you love it 😊 I would love to hear what you think of it. 💕
@@agitssocute Ugh. The Galleria was hard enough to get to for me coming from Mesquite.I’m definitely going to check it out. I’ll tell u what I think. Thanks for sharing…
Here,in Chicago, we have that black birdcage next to our Harry Potter display, too. I wonder if all American Girl Places have that same black birdcage next to their Harry Potter display?
It would be nice if all the stores had the birdcage, but I don’t know if they do or not. I don’t remember seeing it at the new store, but I may have missed it.
Hello So I just visited the AG store at Park lane in Dallas. I kinda like the store. But I hated the location…. I parked in the garage closest to park lane and just walked till I found it. Then got turned around trying to find my car LOL. I definitely have to buy something whenever I do go just because of the inconvenience. Just sharing my thoughts…
I’m glad you liked the store 🙂 I miss the Galleria, the store and the location. I completely agree with you about the new store’s location. It sounds like the parking was a bit challenging. I hope you were able to get something fun! What did you end up buying? I really appreciate you letting me know about your visit to the new store! Hope you have a better parking experience next time! 😃 Thanks for sharing!💕
👋 sry 4 such late reply,Life😂.Well I'm not really anyone to speak on any AG store,as I've never been to 1😮.But from the few I've seen compared to the original store you showed that closed ,really there was no comparison 😢. Anyway sry that store closed,& I can see whY you were disappointed. Thanx 4 sharing it,was Nycc to see it before it closed. Best Regard's, 💗 Lisa
I hope you get to go to an AG store…there aren’t as many as there used to be. 🙁 I hope you get to see one that hasn’t been downsized. It may already be too last as the original stores may all be gone. I do still think you would enjoy a visit 🙂 I appreciate your input, thank you so much for letting me know your thoughts. I hope you have a wonderful day 💕
@@agitssocute 👋 G'Day, I hope your doing good .Sure thing ,I enjoy💗 all your video's & I alway's get so much out of each one 😊. Really 😪 not many original AG stores left? How would one go about finding out if a AG store is a originl 🤔or if it has been downsized 😭. That's too bad there aren't many original ones if any left😭.AG does so well ,I mean I read alot of thing's about their sales & we all know how expensive AG is 🙄.Thankyou 4 sharing. Best Regard's, 💗 Lisa
@@fatimaazam6108 hello 👋 I’m well, I hope you are too😊 I’m really happy to know that my videos are helpful 😃 As far as finding out about the AG stores, I think calling AG and asking is probably the best way. I say that because if you Google their stores you often see pictures of the stores and it shows the old and new. The stores I Googled looked as though they had been downsized. I had one viewer say that she likes to visit the store in NYC, but that it had gone from three stories down to two and that the magic that was once palpable in the old store was missing from the new store. 🥺 AG has been losing money, from 2016 to 2023 their revenue has dropped 61% while during that same time global dollar revenue had grown by 23%. (Info from Google) Things are changing. I hope you have a wonderful day 💕
@@agitssocute👋 hello 😊,thankyou 4 the reply.Yes sure ur more than welcome & thankyou.Yeah i think calling AG store is the best way to go.I wonder how AG is doing now 2024 . If you know plz let me know too 👌 😍. Were doing good can Alway's do Better 😂 know what I mean😂.What have you been doin lately & how's the weather where u r? Here in PA.is Alway's 🙄 either too dang hot 🔥 or too dam cold🥶 .We never have the usual 4 season's like back home New England aka Mystic CT.❤. I'm loving my AG Collection, recently I purchased a AG 2017 X-Box w/ chair, Headset ,1 controller,2 CD'S -1 dance other Blocks & 1 AUX cord short as it may be😮 Lmao🤣🤣.The kewl 🤪 thing about it i love is plug the aux cord into ur phone & can enjoy ur fav.music.Music comes through chair speaker😅. Anyway can't wait till my rent rebate gets here 😮,July 😒.Then I can purchase the OG sweet home,I like it for now till I can build what I really want 😜.

Warmly, 💗 Lisa
@@fatimaazam6108 things are good here, just busy with general life, family and work. As for how AG is doing I don’t know much except that Mattel’s sales were down 1% for the first quarter of 2024, but I think overall sales are better for them than the same time last year. Sounds like you’re having some interesting weather. It’s full spring weather here with storms, but it’s a blessing to have the rain. The AG X box sounds nice! The OG Sweet Home is a lot of fun I’m sure you’ll enjoy it, it also comes with furniture!😃 Lisa, thank you for sharing your name it hasn’t been overlooked. 🙂 I have chosen to not share my name or the names of my family. It’s just a personal choice. I hope you understand. I used to think if I had chosen my own name I would have liked Miranda, MacKenzie or Ashley. You can choose one of those and call me that if you’d like 😃 I hope you have a wonderful day 💕
My nearest store in Columbus, Ohio closed in February. I am still heartbroken. When life gets crazy, it was my happy place to go. I will miss it terribly.
I am so sorry 😞 We are so fortunate to still have a store. I understand about the craziness of life and having the store as an outlet. I’m sorry that you are no longer able to have that. I would be heartbroken too. I hope you didn’t find my video too negative. I am glad we still have a store, absolutely, but I’m disappointed that the magic has dulled. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for sharing 💕
