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.

    4. OH :o

    5. Agreed on both points.

    6. Agree about the suntanned skin and hoping for some LA opening special LE's
      Not sure who I would ask for, a Madoka would be nice!
      A US FCS is very exciting even if its not Sato
      Must save up!

    7. Just a guess... but the Tenshi have been pretty exclusive to Tenshi no Sato. And Madoka is another of Volks very Japanese girls...

      I imagine a Limited for the LA opening will be one of their less Japanese dolls. My bets are on a reissue of Lucas, Chris, Kai or Michele. Someone like that...

      And I'm still betting on a December opening. ^^;

    8. I hope that whatever limiteds they offer, assuming they offer limiteds at all, they'll somehow arrange it so that the rest of us in the USA can still get our hands on 'em.

    9. Per the announcement from Volks back on 7/21/05, there will be an on-line sale pre-opening sale and Exclusive Super Dollfie will be on sale at that time.

      So there will be dolls available on-line for everyone to have a chance to buy.

      The announcement also says there will be "Exclusive LA shop Opening Anniversary Edition Super Dollfie will be on sale for the opening", which means it will be sold at the store.

      I am sure that the dolls that will be sold have already been designed, and I have to agree with others who have stated that Sato exclusive items won't be available, since they are not available at any other Volks store.

      We just have to be patient and wait for Volks to provide the info.
