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.

How long did you wait?

    1. I got my doll about a month after joining DoA, which was a few months after I first became aware of BJDs (just through seeing them in people's LJ icons). The one I really loved had been out of stock, and suddenly she was in stock again so I jumped at the chance! Now I can sit back and relax and wait for another perfect one to come along, because there isn't anyone I want particularly at the moment.

    3. akasora,
      Three years is a long time. If you haven't changed your mind in that amount of time you are going to regret not buying the doll. Plus as it has been said if worse comes you can always sell your doll. I got into BJD from a friend and within days I put a doll on layway. Believe me I have lots of other things I should probably pay first but I really want the doll. You only live once and things will always happen. First your computer breaks, then you get a speeding ticket then your cat gets sick...If you hold off there always be something in the way. Props to your dad for his kindness, he sounds very sweet.

    4. I waited a year plus before I made a final decision ^^

      Though I knew about BJDs much earlier @o@

    5. three whole years.

      i kept trying to save the money, then i'd give up.
      then i'd go visit the volks or dream of doll sites and start saving up again.

      it was a long process of convincing myself and rekindling the love (that now is a healthy obsession :)).

      totally worth it.
      no regrets. especially since i found DoA within those three years!

    6. i vaguely wanted one about a year ago, when I was unemployed, and I'd knew id get a job eventually ( just got out of collage) so I put the idea of getting a doll it on a " wait and see when I have the money list" then i got my current job in February, and rediscovered bjd's and decided that id save all of may 08 to get one and here I am now about to order my first one. ^^

    11. I waited exactly until I found The Perfect One. That timeframe turned out to be one year. I'm glad I waited, for a lot of reasons. If I'd just bought one right away, things might be very different. I kinda like the waiting...it makes it mean so much more when the dolly finally arrives.

    13. I've waited from about the summer of three years back. I saw them on DeviantArt and I was like "Oooooh Grandma can I get one pleeeeease?" And at the price she said "Not for that price!" (Duh :P ) But after 3 years of being very intrested them and four years after my other grandmother left me with some money.......I finally ordered a fabulous DollZone Shoyo-3 Cat Girl. She's so pretty. :3

    14. I seen some about 5 years ago and looked them up, I so wanted to buy one and looked at all the clothes, but was unable to get one at the time and forgot about them for awhile. Now when I recently found them again, I could not find any reason not to buy one. Specially with the Aussie dollar so strong ^_^

    15. Hmmm. I think I first discovered BJDs in the spring of 2001, My first doll was a 1/6 Volks Neo-EB GO and I got him spring 2005, and as of May 14th 2008 became the proud adopter of a 1/3 B&G Sunny. It took me all of two days to decide that I was going to get him. So long story short it took me 3 years to start collecting 1/6th size dollfie and 7 years to start 1/3rd size. All in all I have 4 1/6 Dollfie and just the one 1/3 B&G, hopefuly I will have an LDDoll by this fall to keep my B&G company.

    17. I discovered BJDs at the end of last year, but was scared away be the price admittedly ^^; But I came back to look at them for cosplay in March and spent a month looking at them and picking out a one I liked. Then I joined DoA and a few days later I bought my first girl. ^^ (Who incidentally hasn't arrived yet!)

    20. Well, it has been probably about 4 to 5 years since I "discovered" them and still haven't gotten a doll. :sweat
