Ever fallen out of love while waiting?

no, not at all
I was saving up for my first BJD for years and I never fell out of love with her and don't regret getting her (over another BJD)
she was actually even better than I'd imagined

 

Every time I buy a doll I start to worry once they reach customs that I won't like them when they arrive, some I do, some I don't! But I ordered a daydream Coco and I decided a few weeks ago while waiting for her (she was a preorder) that I probably shouldn't have bought her And will most likely look for a new home for her when she arrives. My reasoning is that she's not a particularly happy doll, but she doesn't look vulnerable either, I'm not entirely sure what she's 'thinking' and when I bought that I didn't really realise how important it is that I can see the emotion in a doll's face. So that's it, I guess I haven't fallen out of love, but realised I made a silly decision.

 

Yes, I have. Most recently, my BBB/RS Dong. Not so much the wait, as the wait wasn't bad, but having him show up broken and trying for well over a month to get everything fixed and still not having it resolved, I couldn't even look at him anymore without being upset, so I ended up selling him to a friend.

 

Yes, that happened to me once and I eventually sold the doll.

 

It just happened to me with my Minifee Woosoo VE and my JDF Terra. I thought they were the cutest things in all the owner pictures but during the wait, I was just looking at the pictures every day and got to the point where I wasn't even impressed and felt like I impulsively ordered them. (Especially Terra) I also had started to seriously look at more mature SD sculpts and fell pretty hard for a few of them and wasn't really interested anymore in the ones I had coming.

When I got them home the feeling was very lukewarm, no matter what I did. Neither of them did a lot for me but Woosoo did look really cute... but that's all he had going for him. It was most likely a combination of his size and the muscular body and cutesy head that made me get to the point where I sold him.

And Terra I'm just very indifferent on. He looks cute on the site but he's very hard to find eyes for that look good.... Like.. he ONLY fits 18mm eyes because his eye sockets are huge... and the pupils almost always take up the whole space. I like expressive sculpts but it's been hard for me to find his character since his face is very... expressionless... Can only do so much with his eye position and whatnot...so he's on his way out, too.

 

It luckily never happened to me

 

No, thankfully that has never happened to me. I usually fall in love with them even more, so far I have loved every doll to pieces when I took it out of them box.

 

I have to confess that I wasn't as excited about my bjd as the moment I saw it first and ordered it. Probably becuase after a month of excitement you can't bring it up anymore on the moment she arrived. And after that I found some sculpts that I might have liked better. But after I gave her a new face up i was totally back in love with her!
recently I had the same kind of story when I ordered a angelstudio Kimo, and just after placing the order I found out about the Sugarble doll Helena. Luckelly I could scrap the order and now I have ordered Helena. To keep the excitement in place I'm not chekking other bjd's till she arrives, or atleast not in her range

 

I've been there, done that -and it upset me greatly, so much so, now I am super careful when selecting a new doll, almost to the point of not getting it.
I've learned which dolls are 'right' and which ones are 'great, but you know it's not for you, so don't even think about it!'.

 

Yes, this happened recently. I bought a limited doll on pre-order, and when she finally arrived over 4 months later, I felt very disinterested. I wanted her so badly for quite some time, so I'm pretty disappointed at my reaction. She's very tiny and cute, but she's also floppy and delicate, and feels cheap. I feel nothing for her right now. I may end up selling her, but I am giving myself some time to see if any interest re-develops.

 

I'm always worried that this will happen when I buy dolls. I am an impulsive buyer, so the risk is definitely there. :P

 

While I was waiting for my first doll yes. I bought her as soon as I saw her and later one when I saw a Fariyland Littlefee Luna I immediately regretted getting her because Luna's sculpt is identical to my first love....Pukifee Luna. However, when I opened the box I fell in love with her all over again. So happy ending. But I probably will eventually get a Littlefee Luna though.

 

Yes! It was one of the first dolls a bought-- a full-set Dollzone. I don't know if I fell out of love or if I just was disappointed after a long six-month wait, but since then, I haven't had to wait quite so long for a doll, fortunately! She's also been sold, as well.

 

Yes, now ive changed what dolls i like, I bought my RS Dong and he sat in his box for 2 months then i realised a few weeks ago he wasnt doing it for me. I think this all happened after i started getting Dollzone dolls and Iplehouse, i like them much better. So, i ended up selling him on ebay.

 

I ordered my first Dollzone bjd, Yan2, at the end of February and I am still waiting for the delivery. I had expected her to take 6-8 weeks, it is now nearly 14 weeks and I am told it will be another 2 or 3 before the order arrives! The reason given for the delay is the chinese new year........ did production stop for 8weeks????? Since placing the order I have seen some other dolls that I think I may have preferred and am desperately hoping that I will fall in love with her all over again when she arrives. One of the reasons I selected Dollzone for my first was because they seemed to ship fairly quickly! Fingers crossed everyone, I so badly want to feel that excitement again when she finally reaches me.

 

I've been frustrated to no end with layaways sapping away my money constantly and with having to pay exorbitant amounts for a doll or two I've ordered after them taking so long to get here too (it's a silly concept of 'since i paid so much for the doll i want it here NOW, even though i know that's impossible)... but fallen out of love? No. I can't say I've had it happen. Finally having the doll in my hands definitely makes up for all the frustration in my opinion.

 

So far, knock on wood, I haven't had this happen. I find the wait and excitement and suspense of ordering a new doll generally makes me want them more. I'm also typically really picky and careful about ordering dolls as well. No real impulse buys here. (I shouldn't say that, my mnf Celine that is on order was an impulse. I was just supposed to get a body for my floating head. Buying her resulted in having to order a second body...)
I usually make myself wait 2-3 months before ordering the currently lusted after doll. I figure if after that long I still want them as badly (or more so) then it's probably a safe bet.
There have been a few who have been difficult, but it's mostly just having the patience to get them the right faceup and wig and then it's love all over again!

 

Sometimes while very long layaways it happens that I think I shouldn't have bought this doll and regret it. This often happens with dolls which have a very short order period and limited like Soom - not enough time to think about, and order it when there is love at first sight. While some months layaway there is time to think and so I often have doubts if the doll was really worth buying - not always, but this still happens. But in the end when it arrives I still love it and I'm happy that I bought it.

 

No, I haven't had that happen to me yet, but I am considering a very long wait for a Dollmore Lusion. I just hope that doesn't happen during that 12 month layaway that I am considering.
