But first a quick report on the availability of Grace's Whole World--the doll, her clothes and accessories. For those of you who like a visual view, the below shows the online status of her items as of December 1st.
I am surprised by how many items, especially big ticket items, are already gone!
As of December 1 (online/website only)

French Bakery (October 5)
Paris Accessories (November 10)

I will periodically post an updated detailed list with dates as a way to archive GOTY 2015 Grace Thomas' sell out dates.
For those who may be new to the whole GOTY sell-out phenomenon, collectors and fans do their best to guess base on prior years, but Grace has broke the mold in several ways already. The first being the sell-out of her wildly expensive but much coveted French Bakery on October 5th! This was easily a month or more before many people suspected.
Also, a surprising number of Grace's items are sold out already by December 1st. In brief, if you want something from her collection, assume it will sell out without further notice. Past years I was often able to use a backorder status as an early warning sign for eminent sell-out, but some of Grace's items have moved straight from available to "no longer available."
So what is the next surprise sell-out for Grace's Whole World? Will the doll itself sell out before mid-month?

I was recently at an American Girl store and they had plenty of Grace dolls. I wonder if she will even sell out before the holidays.
