How many dolls do you purchase at year?

lol too many XD

 

Like most people, doll buying varies for me as well. In my first year (2014), I only bought one doll. The year after, I bought a full-set from the company and a floating head from the MP. This year, I succumbed to buying two dolls, one from the company and one from MP. I have plans for next year to buy one doll and put another on layaway but they're not set in stone yet. You can say average is from 1-2. But again, it depends on my financial situation and the amount of new/old desirable dolls in the market.

 

It varies for me too. If I'm saving for a trip or something then I usually try not to buy any but that's pretty tough! The most I bought in a year was 5 I think, but unfortunately I ended up selling a lot of them since I didn't think through those purchases enough, so now I'm trying to keep it down to two a year!

 

This year i think it will just be one because i just got my first bjd and would like to limit myself so i dont go crazy buying them. Next year i might get 1-2, and that'll probably be my limit per year, but i can't say for sure because things always change

 

My first full year in the hobby (May 2010 to May 2011) I bought...5. Five!!! There was a period of about two years from 2013 until last year when I didn't buy any dolls at all. Zero!!! Beyond that, it's all very murky, because I have a serious floating head problem, and I also can't keep track of who got here when...

 

I've only been in the hobby a year and a half now, so my vote is just what I've bought recently. Which is a lot. How would I count parts of the dolls I'm trying to put together? Let's just say I have bought too many, most I don't even intend to keep!

 

Maximum of 2 per year here. Usually only 0-1.

 

It varies - according to what I can afford, how expensive each doll is etc.

I might get one fairly high priced doll or several cheaper ones, or none at all.

Two years ago I ordered 8 dolls in that year but now I didn't get any and I think I'm already satisfied.

 

I'm on track to buy three this year (if a certain sculpt gets offered in December as expected) plus a floating head. But next year, my only planned purchase is a body for that head. I'd like to not buy a lot of dolls, but instead focus on working with the ones I already have.

And of course, appreciate all the dolls that other people buy...

 

Zero to one. I can not picture myself owning more than 7 dolls, even if somebody was tossing them on me free of charge, I'd still tell them to please stop after number 7... I'm extremely picky, and rarely find a doll whom I'd like to adopt. I have twins of the same sculpt, and currently not looking for more dolls. There are a couple of heads I'd like to have though...

 

Two per year (usually one msd (sd this year and one yosd or tiny). Though I resold one of my dolls from the first year and used the money to buy another doll instead, so last year it was technically 3

 

It's hard to answer as well because I only bought one last year and this year alone I've bought 4 & the year isn't over yet....

 

Once upon a time I could buy a lot more dolls! But I usually end up at about three a year. sometimes more. Layaway helps a ton

So far this year I've bought 2 dolls my dark tan Ellana and an Iple KID. I missed all the other pre-orders I really wanted.

 

I don't even have an average anymore.

I bought one during my first three years in the hobby, my second one came about two years later, and this year, I've bought three

 

I have three dolls but I only buy one once a year. The only reason I have three is because I got a free doll with an order. Right now it has been over a year and a half since I've bought one, which I will be doing soon!

 

So far this year, I've purchased three and that will probably be my limit for the year.

 

Generally about one a year, but 2016 is a dry year for me - no dolls at all. I sold everything BJD-related I own in order to allow myself time to re-assess what I actually want in a doll, instead of impulse buying. Impulse buys don't stay around long.

 

Last couple of years it's always been 2 dolls a year, but this year I've purchased 3 and a floating head...!

 

Hi everyone!

What is the highest number of dolls you have purchased in a year? I just realized that I got my first more expensive doll in November of last year, and now have twelve. I'm trying to decide if I'm being a little excessive or if this is normal.

I would love to hear your doll stories!
