Then, the site American wanted an advance of 50$, why the site Jp, do not require advance??? It's alright, the japanese site ships to europe as well! I ordered 2 dollfies and 2 outfits there, and everything went allright. I live in Austria. I didn't even know Volks USA wants an advance of 50 Dollars, I never had to pay something in advance at Volksjapan. So don't worry. If you'll got an email for prerordering her at Volks japan, then everything should be allright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zaftiq Posted February 14, 2015 Huh. Volks USA has a shipping date of September 2016. Volks Japan still says June. Is this a usual thing with US vs Japan? Im trying to decide which would be better for me to order from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minty Posted February 14, 2015 Huh. Volks USA has a shipping date of September 2016. Volks Japan still says June. Is this a usual thing with US vs Japan? Volks USA is usually slower, since the dolls are shipped to them via boat. For regular Miku: there were also a lot of orders which delayed things. Instead of starting to ship the dolls out in October, Volks USA orders were delayed and they didn't start shipping them out until December. Many of us are still waiting to receive our Mikus from them. Having a shipping date of Sept 2016 would give them more time to get the dolls ready to be sent out. After what happened last time, if they had a June 2016 shipping date, it would probably be delayed to Sept 2016 anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Savaryne Posted February 14, 2015 I pre-ordered my Miku last night! It's going to be the longest wait for anything ever, but... I have a feeling she will be worth it. Just need to put her out of my mind now, so it doesn't drive me crazy. I'll have to distract myself with sewing XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bakura34 Posted February 14, 2015 I decided after alot of going back and forth no to preorder. She is cute but I just don't feel the pull of I MUST HAVE her. So my wallet breathes a sigh of relief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morilec Posted February 14, 2015 Guys, the price was not 65,000 JPY????? Why preorder was from 70.200 JPY???? They included shipping??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minty Posted February 14, 2015 Guys, the price was not 65,000 JPY????? Why preorder was from 70.200 JPY???? They included shipping??? It's not the shipping price; I believe it's taxes. Volks usually lists this as "fees". You can see what I mean here where the outfits are listed. It has the price with a (with fee) underneath it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MomoCream Posted February 14, 2015 Ahh~ Just pre-ordered her! This is going to be a looong wait, but on the brightside I'll have more time to acbleepulate money for her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got it, thanks for the clarification. It's the first time I've ever such a thing... And I bought many things from Japan... Bah, more money to spend, Japanese VAT, Italian VAT, shipping, the bambolla, cost me a fortune ... Finally, someone said it -___- To be honest, it's totally unprofessional, but alas.

Screaming Angel Posted February 16, 2015 I ordered Snow Miku too this weekend and grabbed a couple body suits, spare hands and the additional Miku outfit. I'm okay with the wait as I have so much going on this year that she'll be a nice surprise when she does come home! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cristal Zhaduir Posted February 18, 2015 I ordered her , and now the long wait begins again XDDD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sariachan Posted February 18, 2015 I was just wondering, what default hands did regular Miku come with? And when it says "Outspread Right Hand(DDII-H-04-SW)" for Snow Miku, does it mean a single right hand, or a pair? Just curious before I decide to order some of the Miku hand re-releases. ||T-shirts||Twitter||MyFigureCollection||Flickr|| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The hand parts mean that she comes with two pairs of hands. The nice part about the Miku hand parts is that they come with the wrist piece so you don't have to fumble with a hairdrier trying to get some inconsistently small hand parts to fit over the wrist.

Thank you! It was a bit confusing with the specific wording of "left" and "right" hands. ||T-shirts||Twitter||MyFigureCollection||Flickr|| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
