If you could go back in time...

I would have gotten a Hound IM when they were still up and I had the money. God knows when Dollshe will start selling again and if I'll have the money then...

 

Oh yeah definatly. I would have saved harder and probably tried for a dollish U-me. Moreso I probably would have waited to get my boy and gotten my dream doll first. I definatly would have gotten some of the clothes and shoes that aren't sold anymore. I would have stocked up like CRAZY on wigs too XD

 

If i could go back in time i would not have bought all the impulse dolls i had bought.

 

I'm happy with all my dolls - no impulse purchases and I love them all.

Most of my regrets are clothing and accessories:
- outfits I bought that really don't suit anyone
- huge wig wardrobe that doesn't work, I don't like, or don't need
- eyes in fantasy colors that I don't use
- the money spent on above I should have used for shoes, especially ones that sold out before I could get them

 

Not getting the Dollshe husky when I had the chance. And then a week later dollshe close down. -_-

 

If I could go back in time, I would find a way of re-acquiring my SD Kun. I sold her nearly a year ago now to be able to afford my Cristal, and I said at the time that the very next doll I would get after Cristal was another Kun. Well, my collection has increased from four to six and a half in that span of a year, and still Kun has not come back home. My problem is that I like browsing Yahoo Japan and reading up on Dolpas too much. If I find something I like on YJ or in a Dolpa, I know I only have a limited time to try to acquire it.

I love all of the dolls I currently have and haven't broken my bank in order to get them, but my collection would probably be less expensive and smaller if I didn't enjoy YJ and Dolpas so much. I adore my custom Amakusa, but if I'd never seen pop up in auction I would have ended up getting Kun instead of him and I'd probably be just as happy with her.

 

Dx
I would've gotten my first about a month sooner so that I could've bought the outfit I wanted for him BEFORE it went out of stock and vanished .__.
my only regret so far =)

 

Ugh. If I could go back in time, I'd prevent myself from making that black mesh shirt that I put on my Obitsu boy. (I was really good about keeping shirts made out of black fabric away from him, but for some reason, I didn't think the mesh was going to stain him. I'm such an idiot. -_-) I probably also wouldn't have wasted my time making some of the wigs and accessories that I made and barely use...

 

If I could go back to when I found these dolls, oh man I would have jumped on chances back then. Those SD Cutes I would have bought one in a second had I known they were limiteds. Same with the Yos. It's torture for me now cause I know what came out in the time I was just discovering what these dolls were like. A couple of the SDs I would have jumped on (Kurumi, Emma, Cyndy). But if going back meant I wouldn't have the three I have now, I don't know if I'd take the chance.

 

If I could go back in time I wouldn't have bought soo many Pullips. Now, If I could go back in time I'd buy a bunch of old Blythes and make some money wouldn't you?

 

I might have waited to get Xavier all at once, knowing he'd come on Halloween, instead of having his head six weeks before his body. Taffy would probobly still be named Taffy but he would have had brown eyes from the start. Definately his blonde wig would fit better.

 

Both of my kids were impulse buys, and I'm not sure I would've gotten the sculpts that I did if I went back and did it over. Don't get me wrong, love my kids, but sometimes the bobobie bodies just really aggravate me. >.< Plus I really want a big kid, so I might've saved and gotten one bigger kid instead of my two midgets.

 

I wish I had known back then whe I was looking at the DS Saint that NOT to um and ah but to BUY. I was new to BJD's back then and wanted a boy, but I decided to get a PW Viyol! argh! Although I love her to bits and don't regret her, I could have got her any time really and should have bought Saint when I had the chance. C'est la vie...

 

I feel the opposite - I wish I'd got into bjd earlier, before my Dad passed away. I think he would have been very amused and pleased by my choice of hobby and we would have had a great time talking about dollmaking and tools and the like. He was a big man with enormous hands that limited the detail work he could craft, but was always enchanted by miniature tools and fine work and felt expensive creative pursuits were worth investing in.

I have no regrets about the dolls I have, and the ones I missed, well - maybe I will be able to catch something even more fabulous in the future because I didn't spend on those. Now that I am seeing people posting their Soom Sards, I kind of wished I'd decided to drop sanity and go for him, but on the other hand...I can now afford more of my beloved tinies.

 

I would have bought the Haute Doll Jun Tachibana... that was right when I first got into the hobby and I thought OMG, $700 for a doll... that's crazy.

Man was I dumb.

 

SAME HERE.

I wanted the Isao Nanjou version 2 - I had the magazine and could order him, but I thought to myself, 'that's way too expensive' and held off on him. Now I really wish I could find his clothes somewhere.

 

I am very happy with my current dolls, but I also bought a bunch of dolls that I ended up selling, most of them at a loss. I wish now that instead of buying them, I had just bought a lot more Dollheart outfits for the dolls I have. There's only one doll I wanted that I didn't buy and that was a Rasendou girl that came in a kit. I saw one on YJ, but I was very new to the dolls and didn't know how to use a shopping service and then, of course, Rasendou went out of business.

 

I think there are a lot of us out there that wished they had realized the beauty and scarcity of Volks Jun T., and tryed to get one before it was to late. I was one of them. But after having my Volks Emma for awhile now, I believe I prefer her. Also not being able to change the past, one enjoys what they have and believes the best about their choices. I believe... I feel extremely fortunate that my choice of doll is the one I would have picked regardless of what was out there or will be there in the future. However there is one dress from Luts that makes me sick that I missed getting for my girl. I would definitly change that.

 

I knew about the hobby about two years before I actually bought a doll. If i went back in time, I would save up and buy one right there and then. Not that I don't enjoy them now, but I'm sure I would have loved them even more when I was younger and it would have really stuck.
Ah well. I guess they would be yellowed even more today.
