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.

    1. Well! Congrats to HeidiPay and Devil's Trill! It got intense there for a moment.
      I'm no Shiwoo collector, and I never planned to attempt in the first place, but I'm so happy we got a couple here on DoA, and watching from the sidelines has been most interesting!

    2. That's interesting, because the Chinese web usually has things later (or not at all) than the English one.
      (I'm buying from Luts China and am waiting for some clothes to be released there if it's going to ever happen, so this is quite surprising. And don't worry guys, I'm not going to snatch him from you, since I am not into tan dolls. ;))

      What about the other Luts websites - Korean / Japanese? Do they offer him already?

    3. He's been and gone. He's sold out.

    4. I see. Well, no surprise with only 5.
      Ok, seems that there was an allocation for each region then. This is fair enough.

      Anyway, congrats to all who got him. :)

    5. I had just gone to bed at 12:30- given up totally. Congratulations heidipay and Devil's Trill!

      My dogs got me up at 4 am and I thought I would check the board to see if he'd ever shown up on the site for sale. I went to Luts just out of curiosity and it did NOT have the "out of stock" warning under his picture so I decided to see if it would let me get through the check out process.

      And it did! I have a confirmation email and an order number. I will wait to see if Luts gives me any bad news later today, but after I purchased him, the "out of stock" button appeared under his picture.

      Maybe someone cancelled or their credit card was declined? But for right now, it looks like I got one too! OMG.

    6. I swear the universe hates me.

      (Elaboration on friend's pointing out how horrid that comes across- "The universe hates me" is an in joke my friends have where one of them has exceptional luck when another of us had exceptional bad luck- no offence was intended!)

    7. I could cry kadepie, I can't believe it, I'm so happy! :dance LillyKitten, I can't help but believe the universe doesn't hate you, as the universe gently taunts me with inconvenient timing...Soom's just released its teaser for its next tiny faerie, which I can't get. :horror:

      Of course the first thing I did was go check on my own little guy (honestly my sleep was ruined, all night long I dreamt I was posting on DOA with endless quantities of people who hadn't gotten him) and although I paid before going to bed and referenced my order #, they haven't marked me as paid yet...dither-dither, but I'm not cancelled either. Deep, even breaths.

    8. Looks like I went to bed at the wrong time last night and he was released just as I left! I'm feeling it now though - soooo tired. :lol:

      Congrats to everyone who got him. I'm so disappointed, but at least I can wait for Fairyland 60cm if they do any now.
       
      #288 xredderz, Aug 23, 2010
    9. None taken! I understand the disappointment. I went to bed with it. :(

      They haven't marked you as paid? Did you use a cc or paypal? I used cc and it says payment received under my order status in my account.
       
      #289 kadepie, Aug 23, 2010
    10. OMFG! 3 out of 5 Shiwoos went to DoA peeps! I"M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =TwT= <- tears of joy

      You guys are super lucky. Take good care of them! *salutes*


      And back to the whole "only 5" thing, I'm pretty sure he's a prototype/left-over, so there's no way they could have made any more.

    11. Considering what he was, it's no surprise he went so quickly. Congrats to all who snagged it. Spam the hell out of him in the MNF thread! Anyone snag him who lives in NJ? I would totally love to be able to see him in person. *crosses fingers*
       
      #291 EilonwyG, Aug 23, 2010
    12. Wow, congratulations on kadepie, heidipay and Devil's Thrill! Glad to see you snatched him ^^
      I'm so exited about pictures of him...
       
      #292 Minimini, Aug 23, 2010
    13. WOW! No kidding? I can't believe the luck on that one, Kadepie. Time to thank those dogs of yours!
       
      #293 MagicBunny, Aug 23, 2010
    14. If so, then I hope the Universe apologizes soon! Terribly rude of the Universe! What did you ever do to it? :)
       
      #294 MagicBunny, Aug 23, 2010
    15. I did use PayPal, and usually I post to the QA after the fact, but I forgot last night, I was so jittery after getting him after all that wait...so I posted this morning, I expect I'll be confirmed tonight. I did use the email addy they emailed me, so I should be all right...but I'll worry until it changes. Still, it's not as though I'm going to be far behind anyone, there should only be 5 of us in total. I wonder how long before shipping?

    16. That should actually be 4 out of 5. :) I snagged one in the wee hours as well. I guess my insomnia finally did me some good. So, who's going to open the official waiting room thread?

       
      #296 Forbidden, Aug 23, 2010
    17. Hopefully they will tell you soon after they open for the morning heidipay!

      Congratulations Forbidden!!

      I want to wait for sure and see what happens today (their business Tuesday) before I officially join a waiting room. I don't want to get my hopes up TOO high that it wasn't just a computer glitch.
       
      #297 kadepie, Aug 23, 2010
    18. Thankies!!

      It wasn't a glitch. Say it wasn't a glitch!! :(

      I personally think they released a few extra Shiwoos into the wild to be caught due to the overwhelming demand. Though it's far more likely that those Shiwoos escaped because Shiwoos are tricky like that and can't be held captive for too long.
       
      #298 Forbidden, Aug 23, 2010
    19. -sneaks in- It could be very possible that they were releasing 5 per site. Like for the English site they had 5, Chinese 5, etc etc etc...

      Congrats to those of you who got him. As for me, I wish for Luts to release the outfit he was wearing and those pretty glass eyes :D
       
      #299 alogue, Aug 23, 2010
    20. Or they staggered the release....

      Congratulations Forbidden! that's fantastic news!
