Yes, worth the investment. Several things made my experience purchasing from this site stand out from the rest. From the very first email it felt like I was talking to an old friend with the same interests. Not only having someone knowledgeable to bounce ideas off of, but having someone who understand these dolls at a very high level provide advice is outstanding. I presented the seller with several ideas, and he gave me insight from personal experience and what he’s observed to set me up with EXACTLY what I wanted.
