Dream Doll 'Lily' from Laidoll - Anyone Recognise Her?

You know, I don't think I ever got a reply to my email to Laidoll. It's probably best to email through the Lily listing on ebay - it's actually Laidoll that's selling her (you're looking at the one sold by change8023, right?). You can ask about combining shipping with dolls sold on Laidoll. I asked about shipping Lily together with a Dollzone Xi, and the combined shipping was about 1.5x the shipping quoted in the listing (I live in Asia though, YMMV).

Good luck! I hope you get her! I'm waiting for my own to arrive.^^

 

I think I actually replied to the welcome e-mail from Laidoll, figuring that it was Laidoll's e-mail address. Everyone keeps talking about change8023, but I don't see that name anywhere, so I have no idea what they're talking about. ^^;; I was just trying to go through the Laidoll website.

I'm planning on order my Lily with Yanagi's Yin, and there isn't a Yin listed on e-bay...but Yanagi and I would still maybe be able to order our dolls together? I should ask about that, then. If I don't get an e-mail from Laidoll by tomorrow, I'll try that. I live in the U.S., and I was recently told by a friend that shipping for her two DOD wasn't much more than shipping for buying one doll, so hopefully this will work out to be the same.

Thank you so much for your help!

By the way, I love your Tamaki icon.

 

I just got a message that my Lily will ship next week!

Kaga: change8023 is the seller for Laidoll on ebay, and is pretty much the only one who sells Lily on ebay. Here's a tip: Put "PLEASE REPLY" in the message subject and she will answer very quickly.

Sue: Love that photo of Kefri! It's almost spooky how "real" she looks under that lighting...

mendokusai: Thanks for posting the tutorial! Nice trick with the eyebrows. I'll have to remember that if I redo Rukia's faceup.

 

i love kefri

i was not so much bratty...but my friends had a count on their calendar. but i never got a shipping email so when i was told she was here...i flew down the hallway (i'm not supposed to run) fell down and hurt myself. but i still kept running!

and screaming!

 

(((hugs Kaga)))) I'm glad you like Kef. I SO know where you're coming from LOL. Good luck with the ordering, I'm sure it should cut the costs down to order the two together. Can't wait to see someones pix of the lad as well, no one seems to have him
OOOH fantastic - have a great time at the doll meet and TAKE PIX!!! LOL (oh I'm working on a 'doll and you' shot of Kefri and I to put up in the thread in the games section

OT if you give the mercedes lackey books a try start with the Black Gryphon and go from there

Tokiko - OOO congratulations!!! we're all waiting with you! <hops up and down in anticipation) I never got the shipping confirmation mail either, I asked for a tracking number but Kefri turned up before it did :! I was just glad she arrived safe.

Thanks for kefri comments - she always preens a bit when she's got her pic up on here!

Reine thank you sypathy for the falling - thats not so good, I'd have done the same tho.

 

Sorry to jump into this topic but all your Lilys are gorgeous dolls. I was between her and Yin and...finally the fact I wanted another boy won out. But now I'm almost reconsidering .

As to anyone who is emailing Laidoll...be careful. I've emailed them three times already because I need to get an estimate on when my doll will arrive because I won't be able to recieve mail for a period in April and need to make other arrangements for the doll to be picked up (change shipping address or just arrange for someone to actually get the paper and pick him up at the post office). No reply. Tried sending one in Mandarin even so...*crosses fingers that it works*

I only ordered on Feb. 3rd but getting a bit stressful. Anyone have any ideas for shipping time for a doll with faceup? Since it's the same company...

But back on topic. I've heard 18mm and 16mm eyes for Lily. Is one better than the other or is it personal preference? Also, exactly how does she pose when she doesn't have a joint in her upper chest? I'm curious for when I get my Yin or in the someday I get a Lily .

 

Sue, that's... really creepy >.> somebody just asked me if i read her books, and i hadn't even heard of her. so i was just now looking at a list of her books wondering what one i should start with

Kama, she does have a torso joint n_n

 

hahaha its 'lily magic' gotta watch it - one look and you're hers!

OT tho - black gryphon/white gryphon/silver gryphon/"Magic' series - bestest books EVER!!(vanyel would make an ace BJD...) then swap around, she released them all over the place. kethry is in the Tarma and Kethry books which is Oathbound, Oathblood and By the Sword. For my girl she's based more on Tarma (shin'a'in based loosely on Native American) but I preferred Kefri as a name.

Kama for what its worth I had exactly the same thing happen, cept Kef was from Ebay, I kept mailing and asking for a tracking number and out of say six mails I got replies to only two. I checked her with someone who'd left neg feedback and she said that there was a communication problem but everyone seems to get the doll eventually. Try the suggestion to put 'please reply' on the subject line since you need the info for delivery.

I never did get the tracking number, and Kefri took about a month to arrive.

Edit ; ah - Kama? the eyes she is currently wearing are 18mm, a bit too big but I'm in love with the colour and detail. if you look at her earlier pix those are the default eyes - 16mm I believe. Hope helps

 

Sue: I love the eyes. They look a little big but then not in a creepy way. She's cute as a button...a really, really cute button. And I ordered my Xi from laidoll...he was on my doorstep in 15 days. Given, he was no faceup but it's kinda rough having no idea when to even expect the doll. Guess just keep emailing and making a general pain of myself . How long did it take you to get yours sorted out?

mendokusai: She has a torso joint? Is it just the boys who don't have one then? Both mine have joints like in the ribcage area and Yin's body at least from pictures doesn't seem to have one.

*firmly tries to stop looking at Lily but can't resist and goes through more pictures*

 

If you go back to the pics that I posted of my girl awhile back, she has 18MM masterpeice eyes in...

Sue - still working on the face up (I have three going at once!) I'm taking my time, like Mendokusai said, and it's coming swimmingly! Can't wait to show her off! I'm going to the beauty supply store this weekend and purchasing new eyelashes for my ladies. I just finished the last coat of pastel, paint on the inner eye and MSC last night. Tonight it's all about the gloss and when I get home with the eyelashes and get them in, I'll probably be posting new pictures around Wednesday. This slow face-up thing is torture.... but it is totally worth it!

 

Kama, you sound like the opposite of me! I have a Lily, but keep oggling Yin and Xi. And for some reason, that makes me giggle.

 

OK, I couldn't resist taking a few of Kayla with her new face-up, pre-lashes. This digital camera is terrible. I will take better pics with my fiance's camera this weekend. She's wearing a tonner tyler dress and coat. You can't tell in these pics but it goes well with her wig and eyes.... better pics on the way... ignore my little ShuShu in the backround. She's envying Kayla's outfit right now. it's COOOLD up here in Syracuse,NY....I know Mendokusai, you live in Alaska, I shouldn't be complaining.

 

Sue - I meant to tell you before, Kefri looks so cute in her little black and red number. I love her jewelry! I think sometimes the best looking dolls on these sites are by the people who understand the importance of accessories (like you!) I bead too, I'm thinking of making some jewelry for my girls. Not quite a business, but just for fun... I sell human jewelry at craft shows. I think a nice necklace would make this outfit just right... (points up at Kayla's piccies)

Mendokusai - Eyebrow tip rocks! my girls have perfectly arched and expressive brows now. You can kinda see that from these pics. I promise better this weekend!

 

looks good!!

 

You're a lot more patient than I am.

I ordered a Lily with faceup on Feb 16 (right before Chinese New Year - real smart of me ) through eBay. I emailed change8023 through ebay last night, asking when Lily would be shipped, and put "PLEASE REPLY" in the subject line. Change replied immediately and said that she will be shipped next week. So... about 5-6 weeks?

 

click on the pic to enlarge it...that's Sadako!!!!

 

Sarah and ReineDeLaSeine, total cuteness!

 

Hm. Okay then. The eyes thing confused me a bit because with my Dollzones I was told they'd take 16 or 18mm...and they can only take 14 or 16. But cute either way for Lily!

Mileebert: Xis are full of wonderful. I love mine to pieces (well not really but you get the idea). I kind of wish I'd gotten him in tan but I kind of got him months too early for that. And Yin...well I was curious and couldn't resist. But it came down between him and Lily.

Tokiko: I might have to go with that road because I really do need to know at least when to expect it...so if I'm not available to get my mail I can tell someone else to get him. Postal system around here has a bad habit of making packages disappear if no one claims them within a very small period.

Sarah and Reinedelaseine: Too cute! You're both making me wish I had gotten a Lily. Beautiful girls.

 

Sue~"Lily magic" is the perfect phrase for it. :P

AND! NEWS! It hasn't even been a week, and I already got an e-mail from Laidoll. ^^ I can't contain my excitement!

Shipping is $80 for the two dolls, which isn't bad at all. And EVEN BETTER. I can get Lily with the faceup that she has in her promo pics on the website, because there's a default option, after all. YAY!

But I do have a question, since it's probably easier to ask here...

How exactly do you do the shipping? Do you "add it to cart", or is it added automatically? *doesn't understand* 6_6

 

Kaga - got mine through ebay, so I don't know. I took one look at shipping on that site and said forget it! I suppose you might have to e-mail them once again.

ReineDeLaSiene - Sadako is very sweet! I like the blue shadow. I just gave my Kat (Soony) blue shadow and it's very fresh looking!

OK, as promised, better pics with the fiance's camera...sans eyelashes still...
