It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.Dismiss Notice

Limited Edition
What does it really mean?
Limited Edition (LE) is used when an item, doll, or something along those lines is limited to a certain extent. It is important to know what companies mean by "limited"; for dolls, sometimes it can mean a standard sculpt with a special faceup or clothes or skin tone, or even a limited sculpt altogether. Sometimes LEs are re-released at later dates in different versions, meaning that the set as a whole was limited rather than the doll itself.
How do they work?
LEs usually work in a time or quantity based situation. The company will say either how long the sale will last or how many of that particular doll will be sold. Occasionally companies will have a set limited number and never actually release how many are to be made (rarely happens?). People tend to impulsively buy when it comes to LEs, especially quantity-limited ones, because some have been known to sell out within minutes of release; however, some LEs end up sitting on sites for years without selling out.
Secondhand Market
Resale prices depend on how popular/rare the doll was or has become, and obviously how well the doll was taken care of. Sometimes prices can be double –or more– of the original sales price.
