American Girl Retiring Molly and Emily

The rumor has been circulating off and on for years and was made official today. American Girl has posted on their website that they are officially retiring Molly and all of her collection, including Emily. My guess will be that they are ceasing production now and as soon as the stock of these items has been depleted they will be moved to the archived section. I'm a big fan of the historicals and am very sad to see Molly, who is the last of the original dolls, be retired. I hope that the historical taking her place will be just as educational and unique as she is.
The rumor is already starting that the next historical will be from the 1950's, I guess we will have to wait and see. Until then if there is anything in Molly's collection that you have put off buying, this is your last chance unless you count eBay.
