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. Now I understand why they were so willing to do the dolls we are clamoring for.
      They won't have to do too many.
      :(

    2. I know, it's sad ;_;

      I doubt it will always be like this in the future, though. These dolls were made specially for the opening. Regular Limited releases will be just as easy to get as they always were, I think.

    3. oh I wish I could get Madoka.
      I've been stressing out since this morning thinking
      about the lottery and how much I'll be depressed on
      the opening day if I did not win.
      anyway can't wait till the D-day.
      what time do you think people will be there.
      I've hear that people come 2 to 3 hours before the actual time.

    11. I just got my invite as well!!! (even though my dolls have not been added yet and I sent in my registration on the umm 28th :oops: )

      And I'm glad it's 1 per type, not 1 doll only.

    14. It won't let me in... :( It says it needs a password, and without it I'm not authorized to go there. :cry:

    15. Just throwing out there, I'll be at the LA Opening things on both the 19th and the 20th, and anyone who wants one of the dolls but can't go can PM me and we'll see if I can help.

      I wasn't gonna do this, but they won't be offering them online, so....

      And if I get picked for the Reception, I could try to get a one-off, too, but that's a lot less likely to happen, I think.

      EDIT: Okay, I've been...ah...inundated with requests. 0.o Wow. So...um...let's narrow it down a little. If I have to ship it to you, you'll have to pay shipping, of course. And I'm going to be charging a fee (as is normal in this kind of situation), to cover the fact that I'm going to have to stand around in lines for hours and hours, and get there hours early before the place opens, to boot.

      Even so, it's gonna be way better than the after-market price, that I can promise. **winces at the thought of some of those prices** ESPECIALLY for Shizu, the Madoka mold.

      EDIT2: Someone's already arranged to have me get her a Shizu, so I can only try for the other dolls now.

    16. Wait, when and how were these invitations sent?
       
      #136 AmnesticAngel, Nov 1, 2005
    17. Last night, apparently, via the email you used when you registered your dolls to the Super Dollfie owner's list. Only those on the owner's list (or have at least sent int their registration, even if the site hasn't been updated yet) received the invitation, I think.

    18. For all the people sending me PMs...please go back and read the EIDT to my post on the last page. *_*
       
      #138 Kiyakotari, Nov 2, 2005
    19. Wait, would they have One-Offs on the 20th? @_@ I remember reading that some of the one-offs will show up on the 20th, no? @_______@ Me so confused..... @@

    20. It's nice for people to help others who can't make it to the opening out by offering to get them an LE at retail price. :)

      But I do hope no one here is considering actually buying these dolls only to scalp them on auction. Considering how Volks feels about scalpers, it would be best to respect their wishes. Not to mention that it's just really rude and unfair to buy up all these dolls to make a profit off of when there are other people out there who genuinely want these dolls and should have the chance to buy them at retail price.

      Only saying this because we did receive a pm about one member here who is planning on doing this and we want to make it clear that we do not condone such behavior. I think we should do everything possible to discourage the practice of scalping. Perhaps Volks should even be alerted about these scalpers...
