So, I realized that there are still a bunch of photos from my American Girl Place Chicago trip that I have not posted. Below is a picture I took the first weekend in May – just prior to the release of Rebecca. The historical vignette case from the Samantha collection was the last piece of her display to be removed from the store. I was told it was about to be removed so it could be replaced by the Rebecca display.
I love these vignette’s they do for each of the historical dolls. It really helps tie together the actual history and items of the time period with the dolls and their stories.
More of my photos coming soon!
FIRSTIE! THAT IS SO COOL!
awww, thats sad tho that that was the last 2 b removd!
I don’t think they should have removed all of Sam’s displays, but I guess they needed more space.
Awww! cool! fourthie!
I wish they could’ve kept her display, just … I mean, they’re almost acting like she died or vanished!!
I like the doll in the display.
Only one more day until we get to see the new stuff online!!!! I can’t wait!!!!
Aww, so cute! I miss Sam and Nellie!!
thats such a pretty display! great doll too!
I miss them, too. Long live Samantha and Nellie!
i wish sam would come back

I loved Sam’s bridesmaid gown. It’s my favorite AG outfit ever.
. . . and my Samantha is wearing it right now. I’m glad I bought it before it was retired.
Ya, I love that outfit so much!!! Now I lost the DVD of her movie!!!!!
And I really want to watch it!!!!!! 
Really? I don’t really like that outfit for some reason, thought the movie version was beautiful!
I wish AG actually hadn’t even retired Sam and still released Beckie! Sam&Nellie were so beautiful!
Phooey,the last Samantha display case makes me so sad… I loved those display case,with windows. They were so like ones in museums-maybe even better.
I agree!!!! I loved looking at those when I went to Chicago!!!! I loved Julie’s the best!!
Originally, I didn’t like Samantha’s bridesmaid dress either. It seemed too cheap, shiny, and Barbie-like. But in person, it’s very pretty. That color of lavender is perfect and I love the frills.
Oh, and I also didn’t like the bridesmaid dress because it seemed like there were too many holes in the hat and you could see her hair through it. It’s less severe in person and I never notice since my Sam is displayed up high.
Thought you’d want to know. New stuff = up on AG
I’m glad I have the samantha doll! my sis has Nellie.
I’m glad I have both Sam and Nellie!!!!
Those sets are so cool! I love historical stuff!
Awesome!
i wish sam and nellie were still here:( r they coming back soon or are they gone for good?
I’m kicking myself right now cause I lost my copy of Sam’s movie!!!!! Any1 have suggestions where to look (besides my room)
I have Sam and Nellie in their pj’s right now. They r so cute!!! I wish I could have gotten more outfits. Oh well, I’ll just start looking on ebay.
awww so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish the were still available cause i want sam’s whole collection!!!!!!!!!!!! (including nellie’s stuff) but im glad i have them both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
