Do you get over excited to?

I'm going through that just a little bit now XD I bought a KDF Caju from luts about 3-ish weeks ago and I keep looking at pictures of Cajus and KDFs in general and looking up accessories and even found a YoSD sized doll I like and plan to buy sometime, and already looking up stuff for her.

I check the Luts site and my email at least 2-3 times a day hoping for a shipping notice XD

Then again, I get over excited all the time like this over anything that I really want badly.

 

I was also pretty excited waiting for my first BJD, especially as I was recovering from a bad road accident and his arrival was something I could look forward to (and I could do lot of research which helped pass the time as I was bed-bound). I was able to sleep at night, though. My advice to you would be to enjoy these feelings! They don't really last. Nowadays I still get excited, of course, but I'm more used to the feeling now and much more laid-back. It'd be nice to be really excited again. I just hope when you get your doll, it isn't an anticlimax!

 

I was like this, sort of. I had weird dreams, mostly. I remember checking my order status daily (even in the morning, before getting out of bed), and getting really excited when the status finally changed to shipping.

 

Ever since getting permission to buy her with my own money I've dreamt, thought of and looked at stuff for my girl. Owner pictures and everything...

 

I'm a fairly patient person, and I was incredibly level headed with my first BJD until I knew my doll had shipped. Then I could barely contain myself. I kicked into almost OCD type behaviour and checked the tracking status ad nauseum. I still have exactly the same excitement level with any new additions and I firmly believe that is a big part of the bjd addiction for me. I crave that new doll excitement and the unveiling takes me forever, almost a ritual, and I thoroughly enjoy every moment. I know people who rip and tear into parcels, whereas me, I find a quite time and space and take my time to enjoy the whole process. I drag it out considerably.
Another issue for me: When I see a doll go into customs, it drives me insane. I had a doll in customs over Christmas and New Years and it took FOREVER and I thought I would go beserk. It didn't help that when I received her, the customs officers had actually broken small things in my package. Since then, I almost go into a frenzy when I see an order is sitting there. I find it extremely stressful actually. I feel I cannot properly breathe until I have the doll sitting in front of me without a scratch on it.
So yes, you are not alone by any means.

 

I'm over 20 dolls in, and this happens to me with EVERY doll I buy! I can't sleep for a couple of days after the order is placed for pre-orders, and then I can't sleep the last couple of weeks before shipping until they get home! For in-stock and second hand dolls, I don't sleep until they get home! All I can do is think about them wheneverI try to sleep. I dream about them. I toss all night (causing the hubby to either move to the couch, or kick me to the couch!) and wake up often, only to have REAL trouble getting back to sleep again. Those are times that I sleep with the TV on, just like when I'm sick, because I find the sound (especially of documentaries) soothing, and if I can't sleep, at least I'm distracted so I'm not keeping my husband and children awake. I don't think it's something that I'll EVER get over.

 

I haven't bought a BJD yet, but I am saving up, and the thought of me owning one is making me excited. My excitement will probably worsen once I buy one, but even know, I keep looking at outfits I can put them in, what should I sew, seeing other people's dolls. etc.

 

After six years of wanting a BJD, I finally decided it was time to save up. I came across the one within less than an hour, (HZ Wang-Ye) and bought him. Admittedly Doll Zone's "Hong" was the VERY first I wanted until I realized, the sculpt didn't quite fit the character I had in mind. To conclude, I waited very patiently, and was quite surprised to find that the company had finished the doll before I even put the final payment down. He arrived in less than a month. My second doll arrived after four solid months, but I remained patient, because he was an impulse buy. Now onto my third...which has not arrived yet. I've waited three months already without any updates, and to make things worse just recently found out the company is backed up on orders, so I'm starting to get a bit impatient. So needless to say, this is the first time. XD

 

Hee, I was so excited about my Noir that I kept looking at a picture of him from the company on my phone. Actually, I still have it as my wallpaper and I like to look at it. I get very, very giddy over big purchases like a BJD.

 

XD I totally do! I spent the entire time from ordering my Iplehouse Isar to receiving her with a tab open to her sales page so I could look at her, and combing DoA for box openings and galleries of Isars. Now that I have her, I set her up next to my computer whenever I sit down to use it and put her back on her shelf every night. I can't get enough of her!

When I got her, I had to spend the whole day at school and almost decided to skip all my classes so I could stay home and play with her.


Now that I've ordered a second doll, the process is starting again. I keep going to his sales page to stare and pine.

 

It's definitely okay to get overexcited over your first... or any... doll you buy. While it didn't happen on my first (I was almost dying with worry because of the courier company that he was being delivered with =_= ) it definitely happened with most of my other dolls. Especially when my SSDF Avalanche was coming, after he was shipped I had to watch movies or read books -or keep otherwise busy- all day because I'd get happy anxiety. And recently when my IoS Sezz head was in the country I had a couple nights where I'd think about him all excited until I'd fall asleep~

 

I was very excited over my first! I counted down the days based on the average processing time, so I used to always know exactly how many days had passed and how many were roughly left. When I was considering buying my first doll I thought of nothing but for several days. The night before she was due home I couldn't sleep I was so excited - it felt like being a child on Christmas Eve again.

I'm less excited about dolls arriving home now. I think I'm a little cautious as my first was a bit of a disappointment (never bonded with her), so I'm worried about building their arrival up too much.

 

I was certainly over-excited. xD I opened her right in the mail room!

 

Overexcited is probably putting it mildly. I've been overexcited just planning a doll out! xD I love researching, love comparing face and body sculpts, joints, figuring out clothes, wigs, eyes, shoes, adding up the total cost, coming up with a savings plan...waiting might actually be easier for me ><

 

hehehehe don't worry Kentarin. I think is pretty normal, considering this is your first bjd... Is a natural anxiety so... there is nothing to be worried about.
If you think you're over excited then try to relax, waiting is the worst part!!!! we all know that.
