http://www.mechadollusa.com is running a 25% off sale for the month of june. this takes some of the sting off the price increase. they are actually producing dolls now so it may be worth looking into if you had considered purchasing a doll in the past.
or if you are a forum member use the promotional code “forum” to get 35% off on dolls!!!
