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.

Ever panicked and bought a doll?

    1. Oh yes, it happened to me once. When BambiCrony first came out with Sisley, she was advertised as a very time-limited special. So I sold another doll in a panic, bought Sisley... And months later, BambiCrony started selling Sisley as a basic. So I wouldn't have had to sell that doll!

      Since then, I haven't really ever really panicked... Decided really quickly to buy a limited, yes, but not panicked. ;)

    2. I have a couple of times. Usually 2nd hand or limited dolls. Almost all of which have been sold because when they're received it's just "... why'd i do that?"

    3. Yes, with both of them actually :P
      Found Iplehouse Akando-Pierrot in the end of july, paid for him three days later.
      Same thing with Dexter, also from Iplehouse.
      He is a limited edition, and I had been eyeing him since the beginning.
      I had already decided to get Bibiane, but the day before the last day I freaked and ordered him :P
      Just hope I can afford Bibiane on layaway as well! :aheartbea

    4. I did this twice recently.

      I went to Iple House's site to look at one thing, and found they had one last Elemental Guardian style in stock for just 5 more days, and he was one of the most beautiful dolls I had ever seen (Barahan). I warred with myself briefly before just buying him. He was going out of stock and I totally panicked!

      Then right after that I found a site that had a Roke (from Fairyland) full set, and they no longer carry his outfit and never will, so I panicked and bought him knowing I may never see that again, even though it was way more expensive than originally priced.

      I'm waiting to receive the dolls and my pockets will be empty for a long time to come, but I feel so lucky I found them just in the nick of time!

    5. Haha, oh god, yes! It's not even a limited, but I've seen someone selling Luts HDF 'Pitta' on the marketplace. Just saw the owners pictures and was like "Oh my god, so cute, MINE! No one else shall have him! D:" and bought him right away.
      D'oh. xD
      Well, but I do not regret my choice at all, little Lucien is still with me and loved dearly.

    6. It's not the same situation, but I will explain it. Well, I bought Yuto when I was in Tokyo on holidays. I haven't got a lot money then, but when I saw him, I couldn't help to buy it. I wasted a lot of money that moment, but I don't regret myself. :)

    7. This has happened to me before. I was browsing through the marketplace for an Unoa Lusis, i found two, but they sold out the day afterwards! after finding another one, i couldn't help myself and bought her on the spot in two payments. aha, i didn't know what to do with her afterwards! i was kicking myself, i did the same thing with my IOS Blood. But once i saw her, she was lovely, so she's staying!

    8. Yes, I'm right there with you! Layaway is such an amazing/evil method of payment... *sigh*

    9. Bought my SA Bermann like that. He was my grail doll, had a search saved on Ebay for Bermanns and he showed up one day with a reasonable starting price. Nobody was bidding for him. I couldn't figure out why, I kept wondering if he was not an original, if there was something wrong but everything looked fine.

      After turning myself into a nervous wreck about trying to buy him or not ,the night before the auction's end I put in a low bid, closed the computer and went to bed. I was leaving it in the hands of fate.

      All night long I tossed and turned in a panic, what had I done! On the remote chance I won he would be the most expensive doll I had ever gotten.

      Sure enough the next day I got an e-mail from Ebay telling me I had won him, I nearly fell off my chair! I quickly payed for him and waited for his arrival on pins and needles. Yeah I blew my doll budget for a good long while! but he was everything he was supposed to be and at an amazing price to boot. I don't regret getting him I figure it was just meant to be; all the stars aligned just right that day. I have sinced gotten over the panic of his price and the guilt of having bought myself such an extravagant gift.

    10. I can't remember if I've answer this already but yup! I bought my Dollzone Mo out of nowhere because I need him in tan and they're discontinuing the tan. I had to starve a smidge but it was worth it. I have wanted him in tan for almost a year. I would've been disappointed to miss out. :D I may also do it again with a limited head but, we shall see.

    11. DomoniqueB-- I just love your story. xD Ebay does have awesome finds like that on occasion! :)

      The only doll I've ever bought through panicking was my Leeke Mikhaila. I ordered just minutes after her sales page went live LOL.
      Best panic ever, IMO, she's just so entirely awesome, and fits quite snuggly with my group.

    12. HUmm that's a hard question usually I panic over a life situation and I like to shop to sooth my self sometimes espcailly if the life situation has to do with friends. So that being said yes I have panicked and bought a doll and kicked myself all in the same breath because I didn't have the immediate cash or should have been paying back someone else for something. But then I am always happy when it arrives. So yes and No. But I have panicked

    13. I'm beginning to panic... I don't know if Fairyland is taking back Delfs or not, but Luts is stopping production on them as of the 15th on Nov 2011. I've wanted a Shiwoo since pretty much forever and the only way I'll be able to get him is if I scrounge up some $$$ and buy the sleeping head to mod and put on another body. So yeah, here's hoping I can find another hundred and something NZD and get him in the next couple of days!

    14. I nearly did, until I realized I had JUST missed the preorder deadline. God, did I ever feel sick!

    15. So has a situation ever caused you to panic and purchase a doll?
      Am yes . I think most people know about how luts announced that they will temporarily suspend offering Delfs starting with 15th of Nov. - At the time they posted this , I was saving money for a SD Boy , most likely a CrobiDoll Yeon-ho . I was determined to stop getting girls for a while .But then I saw the news , and panicked , because Soony is one of my grail dolls , but I figured she will allways be there. I started browsing the MP , but there was no Soony that spoke to me there . So I panicked and went in to super saving mode , and managed to get enough money to order her . - At first I was like " err you said you whanted a boy !" , but then , I thaught that since Delf`s future is uncertin ( - what if the price goes up , and I can`t afford her then ?) , so better sae than sorry.

      i was just passing by on crobidoll website and see B-Line limited Yuri and Ho-bin (its a week before they released)
      first i'm not that interesting but then i just got this dream i'm having Yuri as my first BJD , then yesterday at 04:00 (WIB) i see Yuri is being up for sell and i just panicked between it's fine if yuri not my first BJD ever and i miss him , or i can't have him and miss the chance to have him ~ (its complicated i know *_*)

    18. Yes yes yes! There is the story: once I had a dream in wich I was talking with such a nice and friendly little girl, sitting on the grass near the lake.. she told me the exact size of her lake, I said mine was bigger(shame on me, I lied- I have no lake, lol). I remembered the colours of her suit and that she was a doll, so the next day I went searching for doll wich will be most alike.. And suddenly I found her on Bambicrony! Though I didn't ever expected she will be tanned.. and tiny size.. it's Marion. BUT she was limited, 45 dolls worldwide. Plus I couldn't order her on my own - just another lamer without PayPal)) And at the last moments, when my.. mediator?(not sure that's the right word, huh?), when she was about to order, it wasnearly panic about I can miss the only chance.. Whatever, I believe it was something like destiny, and she's here for a long time! I called her Mary, she's just like in my dream, so sweeet.. ^^

There's a new doll and I'm all like "yay! lets take a look~" come to find out it's limited...so without any munnies for it or even a character I had in mind I find the first representative I could find, "Can I get layaway on this?" .....the payments have begun....there's no turning back for me now! ....well...at lest he's good looking XD
