1. 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.

    2. He's an LE. Something about a Volks' cruise, and there was a lottery for tickets, and if you go on said-cruise, you can buy him.

      Fwoosh. :daisy Maybe there will be something there that answers? He's very pretty, huh? I'm not sure how I'd like him though, to keep forever. He'd seem almost uncompatible with everyday life when he reminds me of a pirate. x3 !!!

      In any case. (^_^)

    7. Just look at the wide variety of start prices on the auctions... anything from a bit over 100,000 yen to 400,000
      I guess these people are pretty damn sure they will be able to get Cecil?

    8. Well, by now everyone who's on the cruise has gotten their tickets, and if you're on the cruise, then you get to buy Cecil if you want to, so yeah, I guess you can at least be sure they'd be able to get him (as long as they HAVE been invited. #_#). But I'm always really sceptical of these pre-order things on Y!J, they always sound so... iffy to me.

    10. I agree. I have to see the "doll still in box with everything in mint condition" pictures on an auction before I buy it.
       
      #10 Cammy, Sep 22, 2005
    11. Yeah I'd wait too. Buying the doll from someone who doesn't even have it yet is soooo sooooooooooo iffy.

    12. Coincidence that it came out so close to Talk like a Pirate Day? XD

    13. Cross-posted from the Cecile the Scarface thread, just in case people wanted to see more real-life pics of him...

      I kind of was keeping this quiet until now, because, well, I don't like to hype stuff too much, but thanks to Yuzuko entering, she and I were lucky enough to actually go on the Volks Cruise which was held today. :D

      We hobnobbed with the big names, saw Cecile the Scarface up close and personal (he is freaking HOT) and generally had an awesome time. And due to being able to go on the cruise, I was also able to order Cecile the Scarface himself. :D :D

      He'll be delivered sometime in the next four weeks, at which point I will take about a gazillion photos. I'm still sort of in shock that we were able to go, and that I am able to get him as a result!!!

      If you are interested, I posted a review of the cruise here:
      http://www.livejournal.com/users/kyashieru/305748.html

      Or if you just want to see pictures, I posted those here:
      http://www.livejournal.com/users/kyashieru/305980.html
      Including pics of the two Ceciles (they had the open-eye version there as well, but you can't buy him, long story, it's in the lj post above) and also Sylvie and Cindy who were on display with them. Warning, there's a few pics of me in there too. :P

      Volks are the absolute best and I am so grateful to them for holding an event as wonderful as this cruise was. I hope they hold plenty, plenty more, whether I can go or not! :D :D
