Congrats! Also, here's a few tips if you need them:

I personally like to buy the first few dolls (y'know Raven, Apple, Briar, Maddie, Hunter n Ashlynn) in the original. You can find great sellers on eBay that sell them new in box for relatively cheap prices. Amazon will sometimes give you the "First Chapter" (re-releases) so personally, eBay can be a better choice.

The new packaging is a bit... horrendous. I mean, it's geared towards children so the pink and purple will stand out more, but the rustic, vintage look was better, imo. If you want the pretty packaging, grab those! However, for some of the newer dolls(like Epic Winter) they cannot be saved from the pink and purple eyesore :(

Those are just a few tips from me :)
