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.

    3. As I buy I am anxious, eager and very exited.

      But as I wait, I begin second guessing my choices often, worrying if I purchased the right doll, if I should have waited. Worrying it gets lost in the mail.

      She still has not arrived, as there was many weeks of waiting, so I am waiting...impatiently.

    6. I can really relate to being impatient! I have found, however, as I have become older it has improved. I have found that rushing into things can lead to mistakes.

      Euphoria?! Wow!! I cannot admit to feeling that, because I feel I enjoy my dolls more over time. Do you find that once you have the new item your euphoria fades?

      Yes! I remember!! I had a couple of Lati back in the day and remember it taking such a long time. But, they are so cute!!

      I feel that way about doll clothes, LOL!

      I hope she comes soon! The waiting is the worst part, I think, but when that doll is in your hands it is such a great feeling.

      I would love to say that! But, it is a more complex experience for me for some reason.

      I feel similarly, actually, except I do not feel guilt. There is nothing wrong with a few splurges to make life a bit more exciting!

    7. Yeah but it's not my money...My first resin is a birthday present from my mother so I feel a little guilty...
       
      #107 Arashi Uchiha, Feb 28, 2013
    8. But, that can make the doll more special. I am sure your mother wants you to be happy with the gift, and I am sure the doll can be a way to bring you both closer together. Oh, and happy birthday! Congratulations on your very first BJD!!

    9. I feel excited, impatient, thrilled, a little guilty at times. And I am feeling double that right now since I just put 2 on layaway! *_*

    10. first off cause is happy, but it spend too much time to waiting a doll after i paid the money. the waiting time was too long, so that sometimes when i waiting one doll, at the same time i saw and loved another doll. this is often make me unhappy. and after 2 or 3 months, one day when i received an UPS. i remember that , oh i buy a doll 2 of 3 months ago.......

    11. Happy, realized, excited, a little guilty. Just a bunch of emotions at the time.
       
      #111 pecore00, Mar 19, 2013
    12. I go through a huge range of emotions... first is excitement as I know the doll I want to get, then I get nervous about having the money for it but still having some left over as I am not sure how much my income might be (not the best income). Then I get thrilled and excited as I start prepping for the doll by looking at clothing, accessories, names, etc. But then I start to feel guilt as my boyfriend starts saying not very supportive things like "why are you getting another doll?" "Do you really need another doll?" and then I start telling people about the doll and I get mixed replies as either "That's awesome!" or "That's creepy!" So it depends on who I'm talking to at that point :sweat Then I'm nervous I might have put the wrong info, it might get lost in the mail, etc. Then I'm scared that when it arrives I won't bond with it or it could be broken :horror: Then I am relieved to see the tracking number seeing it on its way, then I am excited when it arrives, and then I relax for a bit and feel content with my purchase :kitty2

    13. When I buy a new doll, I worry a little, and suddenly it to me won't be pleasant or to happen still something. But while everything was ok.

    14. It's a mixture really. I usually feel excited of course, happy and anxious to style it whith a subtle underlay of doubt and guilt about the price.

    15. Thank you. He's home now and he has brought me and my mom closer together. She's helped me a lot when it came time to re-string him and we both adore him.

    16. Lately I've felt a little 'eh' about it. Maybe because I've been a little disappointed? I got a Dragondoll GuanJu and her faceup was not as pictured. Quite drastically different. I wanted her for a character and now I feel like I would have been better off getting a commissioned faceup. And I got one of my two grails, York by Soom. And they really did a sloppy faceup. One whole cheek is black because they smeared his eye makeup so bad. And his lip paint is smeared so bad I keep joking that he has a Kool-Aid stain. But I'm reluctant to wipe them because I paid for those faceups and my York took 4 months to ship because I was waiting on his faceup for so long. @_@

      Then today I received my other grail - which I ordered 2 of. Both of them came blank. I'm super, super excited about them and keep looking at them and getting happy feelings. ^^ I think it's partly because a friend of mine on DoA also got that as her grail doll, which was so much fun! Also I've been planning for them for so long, and then I found clothes that fit them right away while most of my other dolls are naked. So...I don't know! I'm just so super, super pleased with them!

    17. Lately, I have realized that I am happier buying dolls than owning them. I do enjoy my beauties at home, but I always feel incomplete if I'm not waiting for a new arrival. Right now, I am waiting for two, one is on the way and the other in production, and I'm somewhat happy. But already, I can feel the urge to ignore other aspects of life and to just buy a new doll from my extensively long wishlist.

      Purchasing a doll I've been yearning for, daydreaming of owning it, makes me more excited than actually having it with me. Even when it comes to my absolute grail doll - Unoa Lusis: I like her and enjoy dressing her up, but it's nothing in comparison to what I'd felt at the moment I'd bought her, as I spent the money.

      I feel I'm doing something wrong.

    18. Browsing: really focused and finding out which OUT OF ALL THE GORGEOUS DOLLS YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE FROM.
      Buying: Excited as hell. So excited. I feel like the doll will just show up at my door as soon as I press the purchase button.
      Waiting: Sad as hell because holy shit that waiting period is so long omg I'm gonna die.
      More Waiting: Fantasizing SO MUCH ABOUT THIS DOLL OMG WHY MUST I WAIT?
      Arrival: GROSS SOBBING I MEAN LOOK AT IT, IT'S HERE. IT'S FUCKING HERE. I'D LIKE TO THANK THE ACADEMY.

    19. I feel so happy and i just wanted that doll right now.. but when i brought dolls it takes up to 7 days... it feels like a long week

    20. At first I feel a sharp pain to the wallet area. After that, it's a lot of anticipation. I eagerly await the message from the company that my doll has been shipped. I even stalk the site to see if maybe I just haven't gotten the email yet, the closer it gets to the projected ship by day. Then I get excited and impatient. Will the mailman come with my doll today? Once I get the doll, I usually fall straight in love with it, followed by the shock when I realize I need more clothing. Thus the cycle repeats itself.
