V3 is the smart buy IMHO. There will eventually be fixes for the current V2 clothes to fit her and you get V2 when you buy the new Vicky anyway - you get V3 to V2, which fits all the old clothes. Then you get the benefit of V3's wonderfully morphable head. And right now is the cheapest the price will ever be. It's cheaper than what I paid for V2 when she came out, even if you buy everything (if you are also a platinum club member, you'll get the biggest discount). Laurie
