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.

    5. I was just wondering if anyone had any luck getting a doll through the Volks Dolls Party 15 on-line after event? I was on the Volks site at 8pm central time (when I thought that it was supposed to start), and Chris and Lucas were already sold out. It looked like Carol was available for about two minutes, Ren for about three minutes and Miko for 15 minutes or more. So, was anyone here able to get a doll today, especially a Chris or a Lucas?

    6. I got Carol!

      Carol was in stock for at least 7 minutes, that's how long it took me to register and order her after she went on sale. ;)

    7. Congratiolations xberryjam! ^^
      I will wait for the next cute Yo-SD girl to be released.

      I looked at 9 am german time. This is 5 pm in japan but each doll was sold out. I do not have to money to buy one but I think it's sad that there are already 3 lucas and chris dolls on ebay...

    8. Thank you! The Yo-SD's are really cute, I hope you can get the next one that is released!


      I just checked, and it looks like Miko's still in stock!

    9. Lucas keeps coming into stock, if you don't see him try refreshing for a couple of minutes. I have seen at least 5 go by.

      By the way, incase anyone is wondering the shipping fee on a lucas is 10,826yen

    10. Miko was still in stock when I checked a moment ago. Lucas, Chris, and Carol were sold out.

    12. I would also keep checking the SD13 stock page for Lucas and Chris now that the after-event is over. I watched the stock on Tony go up and down after Kyoto Dolpa 4 was over, and it moved a LOT. Any existing stock might get physically moved from place to place. You never know, you might get lucky!

      Oh man, I STILL want Emma! I have to stop looking at that PAGE, LOL!!

    13. Were the clothes ever for sale? They are listed as out of stock on the site...
       
      #33 Mia K, May 27, 2006
    14. I managed to get a Lucas... but as soon as I was done, Chris was sold out. So I guess it's not quite possible to get Lucas AND Chris, for those who wanted both. D: (unless you use the order form on the Japanese site...) Volks quoted me 8,046 yen for shipping... but when I received Tony last month (the shipping cost was also 8,046), it actually was just 4,500 yen, as is reflecting on the EMS invoice. That was a bit disappointing. :\

    15. Yep, Volks adds a handling charge. But your Tony was still cheaper than the Volks USA lottery Tony, even with the additional handling charge.

      Congrats on your Lucas!!

    16. Thank you galatia9! :)

      Actually, Volks says the additional 5% is meant to be "handling charge" since they're not supposed to include tax for international orders...... so I felt the hike in shipping cost was a bit disconcerting! I would not have felt so bad about it if they just came upfront and said they were going to charge an additional 4,000 yen for handling/packing. Just a thought. ;)

    17. The site lists them as going on sale 28 May, a day after the dolls. Maybe a little later?

      Congrats on your Lucas, scube! ^_^

    18. Hi! Congrats to all who got through and ordered a doll!!! I managed to get Ren. Feeling happy and excited about that. I have been so curious about the SDC dolls and I really like Ren's face.
      I didn't try for Carol, who I just adore. When I went back, she was all gone. Maybe I can get her later. I saw on YJ that someone has modded her face and I hardly recognized her. She looked like a real girl of about 8 or 9. Somhow it was spooky - never had that response before. Mybe it was the lack of sleep. Ordering a doll gives me SUCH an adrenaline rush!

    19. Thanks Shan!

    20. I couldn't even find the page for the SDC's... can someone give me a link? I know they're gone now, but I'd still like to know.
