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. Congratulations!
      This year’s is gorgeous. You’re so lucky to have won her ❤️❤️

      I wonder where the f-100 is. She is very precious and I love the make up so much. I know I didn’t win her since there is no email but I’d love to know where I might be able to lurk on her at a later date

    3. Congratulations to the winners!:chibi I was super tempted to try for a few dolls but I can't justify the purchase at the moment
       
    4. Congratulations, @Klein!! How thrilling! I would love to see a group photo of your Rozen Maiden crew when your Shinku arrives home! :love
       
    5. Aww I guess I didn't win any. I had put in for Tae and Miruku. Congrats to those of you who did!
       
    6. I just (well more like yesterday) won the SD17 Reisner on Yahoo Japan :D

      No one else bid on him, which was unusual. But I'm not complaining, I really can't wait for him to come home.
      I've been wanting to add an SD17 Reisner to my collection for three years now but his aftermarket prices are wild!

      He can share some clothes with my SDGr Date Masamune until I find better clothes for him, he'll be spoiled rotten with fancy suits and maybe even one of Volks expensive chairs :lol:

    7. I won Narasaki Ryo from GL international! A little shy to post, this is actually my first post. I got very lucky, my only lottery entry ever! I’m about a year into the hobby, she will be my second resin doll. I had actually been looking for her, she reminds me of photographs of my mother as a young woman.

    8. Wow!! Congratulations to all the winners! I'm happy to see so many winners here on DoA. Please post photos when your new dolls arrive! :D

      I was just thinking about Dolpa 48, wondering if all the Dolpa one offs are going to match Oscar and Marie Antoinette's outfits? Fancy ballgowns and suits! :chibi

    9. Fancy ballgowns and suits would be so amazing, I hope they do! Maybe some fancy wig styles, too. :drool I’m a sucker for fancy outfits.

    10. I was going to say that the one-offs will be Shirokuma fabric, but I actually checked and those are for New Year's :sweat So I will third that I am hoping for lots of frills and ruffles!

    11. Long time no see! I have a question about ordering from by volks - do you know if it’s better to order from the Japan site or from the USA site if you’re not in Japan or USA? (As in, which site is more shipping friendly for international users?) or does it not matter because they all end up shipping from Japan?

      I’m trying to follow the lotteries conversations (in case I ever want to try one) but it seems that GL and jp are different? Do the process differ significantly?
       
    12. It really depends on where you are. The USA website only ships to the USA, Mexico, and Canada. If you are somewhere else you need to go through the international site.
       
    13. The US site doesn’t ship internationally. It only ships within the US, Canada and Mexico. If you’re outside these regions, you can only buy from the Japan site.
       
    14. I’m in Canada! Ty for the info, it was a bit hard to navigate on the USA site. I also noticed that the wish list for the months lottery clothing and the in stock clothing aren’t the same? Is it because can’t save the items from the lotteries?
       
    15. USA site prices are also closer to 1 USD=100 yen than the current exchange rate, so it can be cheaper depending on your currency to order from Volks Japan.
      As for lotteries specifically, they've been overlapping the lotteries a lot recently... You can enter for both and even win both, with the added perk of making people mad :lol: If you're in the countries serviced by Volks USA that is.
      I don't think I can quote from an edit, but yes the lottery (event) site and main store aren't the same. I just bookmark both home pages. For clothes, they'll eventually make it over to the regular site. Lottery dolls aren't really "worth" (can't think of a better word) saving since they'll be gone after the period, no? The entire doll's page disappears around the time results go out.
       
    16. Haha yeah the currency exchange is also why I tend to order more from yen currency…. XD XD I should’ve gotten into the hobbit earlier this year back when usd and cad exchange was still 1.27 instead of the 1.33+ now!!
       
    17. I usually do a mock order for each site (assuming they both have what I want) so I can get the totals with shipping and decide based off that.

    19. I know I'm coming here mostly to share photos but my Diamond came and I thought people can be curious of this face on non-Volks photos! And blank face! I gave mine SDGr boy body too :love
