Recommended Posts

First, thanks to Minty and cfx. With their suggestions I was able to find what I was looking for.

 I adopted Alna and she's finally here after almost 15 days. Im so excited right now so I wanted to share some photos. Here is the unboxing:

And now. The part I call happiness: she's awakened from her slumber. So pretty I want to eat her!!!! @onion22@ (As a quick note, she's not wearing all the outfit because I'm going to wash her clothes inmediately after this.)

Now Arabelle will not be alone anymore when I'm not at home.

Ty! In fact I'm looking for, who I think, will be my last girl: Sheryl. I know she's somewhere out there and I'm gonna find her. Now, about these two sisters, I'll upload some photos when their new outfits arrive.

Damn :/. I just read your answer when I already bought her from another site. Totally new but... at a higher price. 

An advice guys, don't adopt dolls from amazon unless you have run out of options, even if they're new. From now on Mandarake will be one of my first searching sites. Anyway, at least I still can buy the other outfits from Mandarake. Ty for your suggestion as always @onion20@!!

Amazon is like ebay for DDs; my name for it is the sellers there prey on "baka gaijin" i.e. those who don't know better places like Mandarake or what the prices should be. I've never looked at Amazon, but on ebay typical DDs are anywhere from 50-100% more expensive than from Japanese sites.

Keep in mind that while there are certainly exceptions, DDs that were preorder dolls are less limited, and cheaper aftermarket, often close to their original pricing. Sheryl and Ranka had a surprise rerelease in 2018 for a Macross Anniversary as well, and the prices went down further after that.

Here's the outfit links. Pay attention to two related things: Items that are available from more than one Mandarake will be listed at the bottom. The store with the highest price will often be the one that shows up first when you search. Don't fall for that; pay 7,000 yen for Sheryl's Lion outfit, not 18,000 yen:

Lion outfit

Date outfit

Military outfit

Jungle will also have her outfits, and I'm not sure what is up with this price, but I would jump on the military outfit for 6,600 yen new if you want it:

18.7K at another store, still a bit under the Mandarake pricing:

https://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/products/detail/152946

Just search for "Sheryl Lion" and "Sheryl Date" there too as it appears those are a little cheaper than Mandarake. However, be aware that Jungle adds 5% to all orders as a processing fee so keep that in mind when comparing prices.

Yep. Found the "date" outfit in mandarake just after my answer, with a good price i think. All had the same price but chose one with the ems option since the others use the rest of shipping options that are not very trustworthy due to the announcements listed just before completing the order, telling the local service in my country sucks (and yes it does). I guess it would be surprisingly cheap compared to amazon, because I did some research just for curiosity and, although it doesn't exist there, they had the lion outfit with the crazy quantity of 265 dls, so that's enough to imagine the price in case they would have had the date.
