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. I know! If I had the money I'd buy Michael RIGHT now just because I'm so worried. *_*
      I feel awful about it. I remember the one story about the girls who wanted Arashi.
      If Domuya gets them in, they're my second resort. Third is a scalper, and fourth is getting Michael through FCS.

      Any word on when they're going to announce the after-event? Hopefully they'll give me a day's notice to try to compose myself. I think I only slept an hour last night since I was going nuts about Michael.

    3. Yeah! I was up a 4am last night to see if any Toppi had showed up on Y!J yet. I don't know why we torture ourselves this way!

    4. Oh my god, I was too! Except I was planted here looking at the Volks site.

      And then after I signed off, I was awake worriying that they'd announce that they would release the dolls and that I'd miss them.

      Does anyone remember how long it was after the event that they announced it last time, and how long it took until they started selling the dolls/What time it was?
      (I so need to set my computer to Tokyo time. I'm worried I'll mess up or something though.)

    6. Oh good. I suppose that means I can go to sleep now.

      How advanced was it? *_*

    7. In the Volks News magazine that I received, the "physical" After Event is scheduled for September 17-19. I assume the online one will be at the same time, but not sure. ^^

    10. :? I thought Volks only would let people buy 1 doll each at the actual Dolpa if they stood in line? I guess if you got enough money they don't care how many a person can buy then re-sell for over $1,000.? That's a shame so much for a real fan to buy 1 of these dolls to keep.

    11. I thought it was one of each doll. One Toppi, one Mimi, one Michael, ect. per person. This may be wrong, though.

    12. I thought that too, but my husband said that there were people buying several dolls at the Dolpa in May, so I guess that Volks doesn't care.

    13. I want the sleeping kids but i quess that they don't come with the outfits again....

    14. A lot of the times people who go for LEs drag their friends and family and co-workers and anybody they might come in contact with (ok, that was an exaggeration XD) to go with them to increase their luck in drawing for the LE models. When they have multiple winnings, they always purchase the dolls and then turn around and sell 'em on Y!J or eBay. That's how a lot of them do business and profit from LEs. :oops:

    16. Someone please shoot me.
      I just bit the bullet and did it on eBay. Due to the fact that I'll be out of town for the after event.

      There are sooo many strings attatched to him. *_*
       
      #36 Astro, Aug 23, 2005
    17. But if we shoot you, you can't enjoy him! =@__@=
       
      #37 Valentine, Aug 23, 2005
    18. That's the only reason why I haven't shot myself! :P
      But I'm not even sure if I'll get to enjoy him. So many strings...
       
      #38 Astro, Aug 23, 2005
    19. I wish you luck. =o_o=
       
      #39 Valentine, Aug 23, 2005
    20. Thank you!

      I'm still undecided if I want to try to pick a name for him or not...
