&lt;br /&gt;
: The official American Girl Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/americangirl/posts/687593937950436?stream_ref=10 has announced] that this fall, [[Samantha Parkington (doll)|Samantha]] will be re-released, along with some new changes for the Historical line. As of this time we don&amp;#039;t know anything else or if Nellie will be accompanying her. No speculations, please.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; February 21, 2014 / Leaks, leaks and MORE leaks&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: A certain Chinese blogger has posted beta pictures of what seems to be a possible 1950s historical, along with her wardrobe. I know you lads and lasses are either excited or eager to get them in the future and would like to spread the news about it, but keep in mind that these are leaked images, and as such are not allowed here on the wiki. We don&amp;#039;t tolerate any speculation, and of course we don&amp;#039;t want AG to go bonkers on us, so don&amp;#039;t even think about uploading them here, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;comprende?&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

; May 9, 2014 / BeForever Covers Revealed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BFAddyJourney.jpg|thumb|250px|&amp;quot;BeForever&amp;quot; Journey Book for Addy Walker.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The covers for the revamp of the [[Historical Characters]] line have been uploaded to the American Girl Publishing website.  The line is being renamed &amp;quot;BeForever&amp;quot;, consolidating the [[Central Series]] into two-volumes covering three books each.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The &amp;quot;My Journey&amp;quot; books appear to be a Choose-Your-Own Adventure style book for the characters receiving them. The covers have shown new outfits for several characters. There is still no detail being shown for Cécile, Marie-Grace, or any retired characters other than Samantha (who is being rereleased). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Much like when &amp;quot;Just Like You&amp;quot; was renamed to [[My American Girl]], the Administration will likely be editing articles to reflect new names and designations, but not redoing the whole category if at all possible due to size and imprecision. Also while there have been leaks of outfits and information, we do not put up non-official pictures or rumors. &lt;br /&gt;

; September 3, 2014 / American Girl Charlotte grand opening and American Girl store in Hawaii&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AGstore_Hawaii.png|thumb|200px|Screencap from American Girl&amp;#039;s website showing &amp;quot;Hawaii Coming Soon&amp;quot;.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:* The Charlotte Business Journal reports [http://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/news/2014/08/28/american-girl-to-open-oct-11-at-southpark-mall.html American Girl Charlotte has its grand opening scheduled on October 11].&lt;br /&gt;
:* American Girl themselves seem to have plans to open a store in Hawaii as the post announcing a location&amp;#039;s store mentions Hawaii, after Charlotte and Orlando, on the American Girl Stores&amp;#039; page, as seen in the accompanying screencap. This may be just a mistake or a possible unintentional leak on their part - unless an independent, verifiable third-party source is found or American Girl confirms it through any of their official channels (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube announcement), a possible store opening in Hawaii remains &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;just a rumor&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
