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.

    2. Awww...that's too bad! Even though Volks has Int'l orders on their website he was still able to get lots of stuff that was either listed as out of stock on the website or not listed at all...like the optional heads! :cry:

      Come to think of it...can anyone else get the Volks optional heads for int'l buyers?

    3. Maybe we all can convince him to reconsider? :| He's the only one who can find me all the shoes I want because the website nearly never has anything.

    5. That's sad.

      When I first was figuring out how to get my SD's I was uncertained about how to complete the transaction. I ended up my kids from Masamichi. He was great. He made it so easy and worry free.

    6. I've seen a head or two lying around in a glass cabinet in the Domuya store...perhaps they could help? I'm not sure if it was a one-off thing (maybe they did a head swap) or if they can actually bring the heads in on demand, though.

    9. Oh, this is too sad! Really the end of an era ... Masamichi got me most of my Volks dolls. ^^;

    10. I'm still glad that he can help us get stuff on YJA.

      But finding little things like a can of Mr. Super Clear, Volks shoes & wigs are not so easy to get. Everything is always "sold out" on the Volks site. =P

    11. You know... all of this should have been sent to him, not on here :) Perhaps somene should send him the link? Maybe if he knows how everyone feels, he'll reconsider? Even if it's limited to things you can't get on the website.

    12. Oh, thats too bad!
      I read now this topic and I cant believe it :(
      How can we do without Masamichi?I bought all dolls (except 2) from he!
      The Volks store hasnt many things available, wigs, eyes, shoes and dresses...plus Volks store doesnt put a lower value on things you buy so (mostly here in Italy) I'm sure I'll pay customs' fees upon packages and for a doll that costs so much...fees are high :cry: Where could I order my dolls?
      This is shocking for me!
      I' m really sad to ear that :|

      Plus, Domyua, can order things such optional heads, hands and else, but their prices are higher than Masamichi's fees!

    13. Now that is a blow. O_O How awfull...

      I'm lucky I managed to buy my Unoa through Masamichi then! But how can we do without his help for all the other products? I didn't want to buy from the Volks site directly, hence why I was thinking of using Masamichi again soon (especially for dolls). Now this is all shoot to hell.

      Damn.

    14. :-( :-( :-(

      Masa was always WONDERFUL!!!! So professional and polite.

      End of an era, indeed.

      (fretting about Unoa already...)

    15. That´s just so sad. There isn´t everything available through Volks´ online-shop...
      I got my first dolls through Masa, and I always loved dealing with him...he was so nice and answered any silly question. Dealing with him, I really felt like being taken good care of.

    16. hi all
      as Janne mentioned above, i can do shopping at Volks.
      most of the items, people have mentioned in this thread are easy for me to find - shoes, wigs, optional heads, etc.
      i live close to Lalaport Volks, and i can visit the larger Akihabara store weekly.

      please write if you want to know more.
