The Real BSC Mystery


I don't know that I've ever posted books here, but BSC is doll adjacent. 

They've been reprinting/retooling the original BSC series for a few years now. #30 just came out. Well, they also tried the same with the mysteries and for some reason, decided to make them a Walmart exclusive. 

I saw #1 and #2 at my little Walmart next door, so I was pretty happy. Then I found #4 a few weeks later. No sign of #3. I checked every Walmart in the area. I had friends look. Nothing. #5 also never appeared on my shelves. #6 is possibly the final one. I just ordered a copy on Amazon, realizing the price, release date and cover matched the supposed Walmart version, so we'll see what they send me. 

Have any of you guys looked for these? 


I'm sure they're long gone from shelves, having come out in 2023 or so, but it bothers me that I have #1, #2 and #4 only. I do have the vintage, but I collect the new ones, too. Mostly because the covers are adorable. Somewhere out there, there must exist copies of the others for me. 

So yeah, behold the rarest new books I've ever seen. I have no idea how their distribution got so screwed up. I've not seen them on ebay or Mercari or anywhere else. They weren't ever on Walmart's website. So frustrating!

I just bought something fun for me to review when it arrives, so there will be a new doll review soonish. I haven't been buying much recently, both thanks to my upcoming concert trip and due to lack of interest. I did get MH Marikit but I'm struggling with whether to open her or not. But there will be more posts coming, I promise.
