Julie’s New VW and Car Wash Set

American Girl Julie VW

According to quite a few readers Julie is getting a new VW and there will  be a new car wash set and outfits for Julie and Ivy. This photo is featured on the back of the American Girl magazine and was posted on the American Girl Facebook page (thanks for the heads up Lena).

I am assuming this will be part of the holiday release in September. I can’t imagine how much Julie’s VW will cost, but I can honestly say, that is the cutest AG accessory I have seen in a LONG time. I may be putting this whole set on MY Christmas list.

More details as we have them.

    YAAA ivy gets a cute new outfit!!!!

  3. Lena says:

    A few people called CS and that’s the price they got.

    GOOD POINT MADELON. isn’t Julie supposed to be 9 years old? i have to say that I bet it’s metal like her bike, and even though no one wants to pay for it, it’ll be sold out until sept like mckenna’s gym set. I hated paying $225 for mckenna’s bed, but it came with a bunch of stuff.

  5. hula girl says:

    that new set looks so cool! I read on American Girl’s facebook page that it’s coming out late June. I can’t wait

  6. aglover says:

    who would buy it target or walmart has a car that 2 dolls can fit in for 56 dollars much cheeper

  7. Amelia says:

    OMG! It looks SUPER cute!

  8. Marina says:

    W-wow. 350$? Seriously? As much as I love ag, I honestly think tje overpriced items meed to stop. Its just to expensive and I feel like its getting even more expensive each year. In my opinion, one little ice cream set with cherrypie isnt worth 60 dead presidents (dollars)
    Signature-> dance like no ones watching, love like you never were hurt, sing like no ones litsening , live like its heaven on earth. •U•

    Again, Julie’s WASHING the car, not driving it. Ag’s not marketing to car so that Julie drives. No doubt kids will make her drive, but that’s not the marketing.

    Either way, Julie’s almost 12 in the story that takes place last cannonically, and at 12, I was learning to drive around private property, simple things like parking.

  10. Kt says:

    I wish they would release something for Molly and Emily their collection is so bare

  11. Amy says:

    Oh dear… $350? *sigh* That’s a lot…this is one of the first things AG has come out with in a lot time that I actually really WANT.
    I read somwhere that the doll can’t fit in the driver’s side though? Anyone else heard this confirmed or not? I could SEE how they would make it that way if it has to do with some safety mandate about 9-12 year olds driving, but seriously…I would hope that even AG wouldn’t do something like that…

  12. Serena says:

    I can see why some people are upset about the price I am a little shocked too. But it’s Ag so it’s reasonable qualtiy and it’s probably not completely made of plastic and looks like as if a small chid got a hold of it it would not easily break. I do not have any of the of other cars availbe for 18 inch dolls but they do kinds remind of enlarged barbie cars, will I be saving for this car anytime soon no would I be more likely to be saving for 2 dolls 4 outfits and the trundle which probably cost more and take up the same amount of room yes I like the looks of the car and that it is a real car color as opsed to some of the others that are hot pink heaps of plastic

  13. Cynthia says:

    Oh ok, comments being in moderation make sense. I’m just not used to it.
    It stinks that Ivy never gets anything and the one thing we love for her we have (the New Year’s Outfit and I waited 6 months for it to get off back order). We don’t like her new outfit and you would think they would give Ivy some good things for once! Julie’s outfit is SUPER cute and my daughter wants to buy it for her Julie. I hope the outfits are sold separately.

  14. Lena says:

    ^I actually prefer Ivy’s to Julie’s. Julie’s makes her look like a hobo.

    I agree about the price being with the quality, but still 350 is steep. Lanie’s camper was basically a doll house and came with little accessories for 50$ less.

  15. Jillian says:

    You guys, keep in mind AG items are geared towards families who can afford to drop $3,000 per person for a vacation, and buy out the ship within one day of announcement. In other words – NOT your average American family.

  16. aglover says:

    i prefer julies ivys looks like a towl with a rainbow belt

  17. April says:

    I am hoping/dreaming that the $350 is for the car wash collection: 2 outfits, VW, and car wash accessories.
    Wishful thinking…..

  18. Jenny says:

    Aren’t the other Historicals supposed to get something too?

  19. Rana says:

    I love the car, but the price is outrageous!! I mean 350$ for a car?? How are girls going to afford that? I love Julie’s outfit, and I can’t wait to get it when I go to the AGP! I like Ivy’s outfit, but not enough to get it. I like they finally gave Julie more attention, but they need to pay less attention to the price.

  20. Chloe says:

    I sent ur to u to. Yesterday,…. But I said it cost 350.00. And that it comes out June 28

  21. Pretty Irish AG says:

    Finally, Ivy gets a new outfit! But I really think the kites would be a better option.

    Off that note I got Marie Grace. I love her, I love her, I LOVE HER!!! To save me embarassment at school (today was my last day), my art teacher asked me “So, which girl are you adopting?”

    I answered, “Marie Grace.”

    Marie Grace is gorgeous!

  22. Megan says:

    thank you Jillian!! i have been trying to say that for a LONG LONG time!!! thanks!!

  23. gail says:

    So no new myag dolls next month?

  24. Lena says:

    There’s a pic on FB with an Addy mold short curly haired girl. She’s new.

    Megan and Jillian, no one’s saying AG is not. The fact remains that the VW is overpriced for what you get.

  25. Gail says:

    Lena where is the picture u mentioned?

  26. April says:

    The picture is on the AG FB main page now, just scroll down.

  27. Erica says:

    I’m not shocked that AG put a high price on this.

  28. Gail says:

    I cant find the picture! Is it brunette? What color are the eyes? Does it have a lighr skin tone?

  29. Gail says:

    Actually can someone just post a link to it? Sorry I am inda freaking out here lol!

  30. Gail says:

    Nvm found it… sigh…. doesnt look like me…. :(

  31. Lena says:

    Click my name, should take you to my blog.

  32. Jess says:

    I love the set; it’s really cute, but the price; not.

  33. Lorie Ann says:

    Isnt the volleyball outfit new too (girl on the left)

  34. Lena says:

    All three are new.

  35. Sarah:D says:

    Jilian- I totally agree. The average American family was/is struggling with the economy.
    Pretty Irish AG- That’s so sweet of your teacher!
    Oh my gosh! I love the new doll! She’s so cute! I love her hair! I also like her dress.

  36. Karen K says:

    I hope the middle outfit is not the new meet outfit. I would love it for my daughters (and myself!).

  37. Sofia says:

    Hi! I’d just like to point out that on the American Girl website they are selling some of the store-exclusive shirts for 60% off. Could they be retiring them?

  38. Karen K says:

    I was thinking that they are getting ready to unveil a new line of store exclusive merchandise since they are selling a lot of that stuff at the website and at really great prices.

  39. Sarah:D says:

    Karen K.- I agree. That’s exciting!

  40. Gail says:

    Well maybe there is still hope for my look alike u gotta stay positive u know! I got lmm artsyvtoday! Cant wait to open her boxx i will try to send a picture for the sunday showcase

  41. AmericangirlNews says:

    It coming out at the end of June

  42. emma says:

    I’m with you Gail! They have yet to make a doll like me! I’m hoping Caroline does though. She would need red hair, brown eyes and freckles. Who else thinks it’s time for another red head doll now that Felicity is gone?

  43. Cynthia says:

    The picture with the new doll question…..The brunette and blonde doll’s look like ones that are already out. I don’t like anything about the new one on the right (outfit or doll). I love the cute outfit in the middle. Is the one on the right the only new one?

  44. Lena says:

    All the outfits are unrealesed, two of the dolls are 27 and 49, one is unknown.

  45. aglover says:

    yeah i posted it on my blog to

  46. Jenny says:

    :D I love the AA doll with the little Afro-like hair!

  47. Gail says:

    thx for the support emma and btw Artsy is even more adorable in person! She is sitting next to me right now!

  48. joyce says:

    its so cute i think i might get it

  49. Char says:

    I can’t wait to see your pictures of Artsy – she is the only one we don’t have yet.

    @Sarah:D, My art teacher is a very kind woman.
