What's the largest number of dolls you've had on order at once?

I once ordered two from the same company together, and recently had a head, a body, and a full doll all on order at once. From three different companies. The head and body are now one doll, and I'm still waiting for the full doll. He's from Dollshe, so I didn't feel too guilty about ordering the hybrid while I wait.

 

I've had 5 SD dolls that I've paid and waited for at once, for multiple times now. Last time two of them however were used from other hobbyists, only three from companies. Currently I have 4 dolls on order and 1 used doll in mail, I think. It might seem a lot, but it's partially thanks to Dollshe wait times.

 

At the moment I am waiting for 3 dolls, all from dollshe. So I have no idea when they will arrive, but I couldn't say no to the sale!

 

@celga - Keep it all in my head? Are you kidding? I forget what I ordered within a week of ordering. I keep a simple list with the name of the doll and the date ordered. It's enough to let me find the order specifics on my computer. When I get a shipping notice I add the tracking number, then a check mark when it arrives.

At the moment I'm waiting for only 2 dolls, the sum total of my June and August orders. I'm being very very good--because I'm very very broke.

 

@celga - I haven't counted them lately but I suspect I have around 100. It's not as bad as it sounds. Many of them are tiny and all the SD size but one are gone. (The SDs paid for the others.) I don't think I ever planned on getting only a few. Deep down I probably knew I'd never be able to control the numbers.

My lists from the past few years are downright scary, but that's because I also enter clothing, shoes, wigs and anything else doll-related. I would keep two lists except then it gets complicated.

 

Haha, I know the feeling. I was only going to get one, and spoil it. I now have 20 dolls + 2 pet dolls at home, and 1 SD still on order!

Good thing is, I can't think of any doll I want at the moment. Maybe I can spend time buying things for the dolls and fixing them up, rather then buying new dolls!

Also, I have only been in the hobby about a year and a half! I kind of went crazy with the dolls at first, but I think it might slow down.. . Oh, look, pretty doll . . . wanders off . . .

 

I currently have two on layaway. I plan on getting Rap1993 Mae too,so will have 3 at once, Rip my poor wallet! I have a Magic Mirror Keira and a special Noble Dolls Rivanone on order!

 

I’ve just started collecting but I currently have 2 dolls that I’ve preordered (one back last year and one fairly recently). They should both arrive in December but I guess I got a little impatient because I ordered another doll second hand.

 

Three. I was kinda surprised at looking at the dates of when I ordered and when things came in... but there was a brief moment of time I was waiting on three dolls. I also was still waiting on two of that group when I picked up another at a meetup.

Part of this stemmed from me losing one of my kitties... I got a pet doll and had him painted to look like him, then saw another that reminded me of our kitten, on doll I had been wanting to get for a while went on sale at a dealer, and then the doll at the meet was on my waffle list but her price was so good I did not hesitate.

In general I do not have a policy on ordering a certain amount of dolls. I go though dry spells, then I tend to come across several at the same time that are either out of production ones I am after or limited releases.

 

@celga - I remember an article years ago--it might have been in an early issue of Haute Doll--featuring a collector with over 100 dolls. At the time I thought that was an appalling number of dolls to own. I shudder to think how many she has if she's still collecting today. I should be shuddering to think I now have that many. If it ever stops raining I'll set everyone up on the dining room table and take a group pic. Maybe that will scare me into slowing down. (As if.)

That said, not even I would qualify for the Off to a Terrifying Start award. I started slowly...things only escalated as I went along.

Woohoo! I just counted them: 72 dolls, 3 heads, and 2 dolls on order. Thank goodness. Of course, if I were to make a list of all the bjds I've owned and sold over the years...

 

4 and they all had long wait times between 3 months and five.

 

The most I've ever had on order at once is two, one from Resinsoul and one from Iplehouse, but even just keeping track of those two made me anxious! I don't know how you do it with more than one

 

2, they were an MSD and a YoSD. I've since realised though that I only like SDs so chances are I'll never have multiple full dolls on order at the same time in the future simply because I wouldn't be able to afford it. Well, unless maybe if I would order a doll with a year or an even longer wait time, but I find that unlikely.

 

That was me! I had 2 couples in my head that I was going to create (is 'shell' the word? I'm still pretty new at bjd terminology). I looked for quite awhile for the boys in each couple and then all of a sudden I found them both. So I ordered them - 2. Then I saw the Adela dragon from Dream Valley. I looooove dragons, so I ordered her - 3. While browsing for the boys, I ended up on the Soom site and saw this beautful girl who didn't fit in with my plans. But I fell in love with her face; ordered her - 4. Then Granado released the Napoleon sculpt in 43". Perfect to go with my Tonner vinyls as they have no boys to fawn over them. Ordered him -5. So then I was hanging out in the waiting room for awhile. They pretty much all arrived within 2 months of each other, except I am still waiting on Adela. So I guess my total is 5 on order at once. But as for my original plans of being done after 4 dolls? I have now added a Ringdoll Alice, a Dollshe Amanda and a complete artisan doll and artisan head to my waiting list. And I really really really want a Rainman Blina head (and of course will need a body to go with her if I pull the trigger). Guess I'm not going to slow down ...... But I'm having fun!!!!

 

@celga - Will do.

After I got offline yesterday I made a list of all the bjds I've bought and subsequently sold since I started in the hobby. There are 95 dolls and 2 heads. (There may be additional heads and/or faceplates. I need to check another source for those.) Add the 5 dolls I currently have up for sale and there's the 100.
