When choosing Vintage reproductions
When creating new Collectible collections
Never
No idea

What do you think about the part of adults collectors inside the hole buyers (child, parents...)
We’re more important than child part cause less people, but buying each one many more items
We’re as important as child part
I don't know but really would like to have a precise idea
We’re a big part but not so big as child part
We’re a very little part without any importance


Do u think collectors need an only big group to have more influence on Mattel decisions as a lobby?
Yes I think without this, Mattel will never really take care of us Yes it would be great and very interesting Yes but I think it would have no effects on Mattel No it’s a waste of time

If there was an effort to create this type of big unique community, would you want to join it ?
Yep, surely and activly Yep, just as a member to make ithe group bigger Yep but with some reserve and conditions no, too many efforts , I don't have time no I'm enough happy whith what Mattel is doing for the moment No that's all

Where do you live?

Did you know that Barbie Bazaar announced the edition of April/may 2006 should be the last one? They so gently invite us to read Haute doll in place of BB after this last date! Sorry 2 more questions :

Do you read Barbie Bazaar?
Yes i usually suscrib for the year Yes I sometimes buy one edition Yes I read but don't buy it No I don't read it

What would you think / do if Barbie Bazaar would really stop its editions after this april/may n°?
I would have a great deception, but would be happy to buy and read Haute Doll in its place
I would stop buying dolls mags, cause Haute Doll will never replace what BB used to offer
I would think people collecting Barbie dolls receive less and less efforts each year
I would fit to find another serious group to re create the magazine
