Since collectors will pay thousands of dollars for such a doll, (not
too surprising, since fewer than 1.5% of the $25 dolls would say any
given phrase) it's pretty unlikely you'll find it cheap.  A recent
article in rec.collecting has several addresses of publications
devoted to Barbie collecting, for the benefit of anyone who really,
really wants such an artifact (or who has one and really, really wants
thousands of dollars.)
