How long did you wait to get your first doll?

I found out about BJDs circa 5 years ago and discovered Chloe two-three years ago before I ordered her on December 2017!

 

I found out about BJDs back on 2013 then totally forgot about them when i started working. I then decided to buy a doll 2 yeas after.

 

From the time I found out to the time I bought them? About 6 years!

From the time I decided to buy a doll to the time I ordered them? About 3 or so months, the only thing that stopped me was finances, I had to wait for the holidays and my birthday to pass to be able to afford them both

 

15 years

 

It took me only 4 days before deciding to purchase an expensive peakswood doll because I tell myself if i have been looking at something more than 3 days I should just buy it LOL. (Probably really bad on the bank acct) She was adopted from Korea so it took just 1 week ems

 

I waited almost 10 years to buy my first bjd. I was a student and I had no money.
When I started working, I bought my first one, in 2013.

 

Hmmm, I believe it was a 3 month wait for my Bobobie when I finally saved up enough. I'd been waiting almost a year before ordering her.

 

It was about a year ago when I first heard of them. I was very excited, so excited that I didn't do a whole lot of research, so I basically thought Fairyland and Luts were the only companies out there (cringe)
I bought a Littlefee Chiwoo from Denver Doll, but I realised soon after I had rushed my descision, and ended up cancelling the order. I found more companies I really love, and now I'm happy with my first doll. Sorry little guy, don't regret cancelling you

 

So looong ! 6+ months. I order my first doll from DZ spain... Big mistake. x)

 

Funny you ask. I've been into BJD for maybe 2-3 months. I really didn't want to wait 6 months for what I really wanted from the factory. And I didn't want to fill the forums with junk AND wait two months to get into the marketplace. So I kept an eye on Ebay and just waited until I found something that:

1. caught my eye.
2. looked legitimate.
3. didn't feel like I was settling for something I didn't really want.
4. was "worthy" of being my first one.

She arrived this week, an old (14 yrs?) Elfdoll Nabee.

 

I first found out about bjds around ten years ago through a friend, but I really decided to get one for myself around ten months ago, and purchased a Supia Muriel four months after that - now I'm waiting delivery! Fingers crossed she gets here safe and sound

 

i think i wait around 3 months since i paid layaway at alice collection in 3 months. alice collection is good

 

About eight years. I discovered BJDs in late middle school or early high school. My parents never would have given me enough money and I didn't get a stable job until after I graduated... I was always interested, but spent a lot of money on conventions and cosplaying. Becoming a part of the hobby just felt like a scary leap to take, and I truly thought I'd never be able to afford it. I only caved in and bought one a little over a year ago after falling in love with a sculpt and realizing I could afford it if I did a layaway!

 

For me it took almost two years, since I've seen the doll on my avatar, but it was also little expensive for me. But then, DIM made a Sales, and it was right time for me!
Ofcourse, it was a bit scarry deal, I had to pay not via PayPal but just to send a money somewhere, and got not ane response or note, just wayting for a two month! Was nervose time! But I love my first girl!

 

I found BJDs on DeviantArt back in 2008. I was only 14 then so I had no way of saving enough money for one of my own. But I enjoyed watching a whole bunch of BJD owners and commenting on their doll pictures. I've always liked BJDs ever since then, but was focused on my other hobbies. A few weeks ago I stumbled across a thread on BJDs on another forum and was reminded about them. I figured that since I have a job now, I can afford it, what's stopping me? I did research for about 24 hours straight then ordered my first doll.

 

About a year ago, I ran into BDJs because I wanted a custom doll. I had some money set aside for this doll, then I ran across MYou Junyao on Dolk US's webstore. I was in love with her cute face! I fretted over buying her for about four hours, then took the plunge and haven't looked back since!

 

I'm interested in BJD around 7 years ago, I like Dream of Doll brand but at that time I still studied and didn't had money.
3 years ago I already graduation and had job so I want to buy bjd for myself.
Last month I found Lati doll, I like her pink-gray hair then I buy her and she is my first doll.

 

11 years for me. Eyeing them for a long time at every anime convention I been to. Mostly because I never thought I would be able to afford one. Many years later, I was fortunate enough to be able to own more than one. I do admit that 2 years of the 11 is mostly me unable to find one to buy first and window shopping for the "perfect first doll".

 

I knew about BJDs in the past, but I decided to buy a doll about seven months ago. I bought it this month.

 

6 months...it was a Dollzone Minas and i have no plan how long Dollzone need XDD
