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.

    9. I'm in Arizona so that's not too far away. :wink: I'm sure I'll be taking a roadtrip as soon as they open up.

    10. Total road trip.

      A fun, silly adventure for this Bay Area-ite. Very doable.

      W00T!

      D'ya suppose there will be FCS?
       
      #10 green_judy, May 27, 2005
    11. If there is I am TOTALLY going down there. We should go togeather *also in the Bay Area*

    12. Yeeees!!

      This is exciting news :grin:

    13. Arrrgh, I can't stand LA (as a place, no offense to you guys who live there). XD If only they could have gone a bit north...

      Ah well. I'll have to check it out sometime. How exciting!
       
      #13 Tsuminaki, May 27, 2005
    14. An 'Argh' in advance for everyone on the East Coast. XP Yet another reason to leave this dead-end state and go home. I can't stand SoCal though. T_T Too hot, shoulda been in SF('Specially since if I went back, it'd be back to NorCal where I'm from...Which itself is too hot in summer). XP

      We need a CP store in New York now. XD

      But like another person said, maybe if things can be shipped from THERE, or there's FCS available there, it won't be as painful when I eventually break down and get a Volks doll. >_>

      So... Yay?
       
      #14 Ian-KunX, May 27, 2005
    15. I wonder if they will ship to the UK ??
      :daisy (she says hopeing one day they will release the tiny angels )

    16. LA... it figures.
      I CAN'T easily bop on down to LA, even if I live in CA.
      I have a family and a very busy job.
      :(

    17. ......... **starts planning bus routes to LA from Seattle** Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy.......

      Darryl: Hey! We could meet Caro!!!

      Talon: Er...meet? That's an interesting way of putting it....

      Darryl: Get your mind out of the gutter, smuggler.

    18. :D
      Sucks that they're way the hell across the country, but I've got relations there, and Mom's probably going to want to go for second dan [black belt; we have to go to Cali to do it]. I hope they make FCS available here!
       
      #18 Meep, May 27, 2005
    19. On the hopeful side, does this mean that Volks is going to get their act together soon and actually have something for the USA store to have IN STOCK??

      Their website is woefully out of stock on way too much (very unusual for a company that has been trying to heavily promote itself at international shows), and a friend who visited Japan recently said that all the stores carrrying Volks SD/SD13 items were also out of stock on too many of their SD/SD13 "accessory" items; particularly clothes, shoes, 18mm eyes, elastic, tools...

    20. Living twenty minutes from L.A. just got a whole lot more expensive. *falls over*
