bethykins Posted March 30, 2013 Better scans of Asuna and Alice : http://blog-imgs-50.fc2.com/p/i/l/pillow100/_DSC0129-1.jpg http://blog-imgs-50.fc2.com/p/i/l/pillow100/_DSC0126-1.jpg Well that's interesting. There's a text box by Asuna that says (in a lot more words) that they're not planning to have any available at the Dolpa event. Volks will be taking preorders for a limited number of dolls, you have to agree to a 1,050 yen shipping charge, and she will show up at your house at the end of May. Like Nanami's guitar, this is starting to become a trend =/. There is no such statement for Alice though, so I assume she will be available at the event hall. I'm assuming Volks international will have a lottery as usual? I have a gorgeous family of DD girls See my profile for a list of my beauties!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: Also worth a mention: On Alice's page there's a note that, in the future, a DD Accessory Set is planned for release that will contain Alice's robin bird familiar and diddle-diddle bell. The bell is pictured. No additional details at present. So how does exactly does this work? You have to be there in person to pre order and limit 1 per household? Can this be done by proxy or something? I really want Asuna We have our own BLOG. Please visit us at the House of Nyan by clicking this link or our sig above. See you there.

Shailara Posted March 30, 2013 I am not sure, having never entered for one. I think maybe slightly better chances. Are you going to try for him? I'd think so also cause I don't see as many people buying just to sell for the resin Volks as with DDs (as for what I've seen on the Marketplace that is, I might be wrong) ...and I remember after the click wars for Melty, the two resin girls sat there for a few hours more... I am really thinking of trying for him though, yes. He's the second Volks guy I REALLY like (first being F-38 /sobs)...do you have any idea how much Volks SD17 bodies go for?

WoundedNight64 Posted March 30, 2013 I'm head over heels for Alice Why couldn't they release her in December or something!? I think she'll be an S-bust too...?

I wish I could afford him but I have to convince hubby I need a SD sized boy in my house first hehehe. Asuna, he is okay with but Ryoma will take a lot of convincing.

Is it as difficult to win lotteries with the resins as it is with the DDs? Based on when stuff sells out at Volks stores, you have a higher chance for a lottery for a Super Dollfie. Those almost always sell out after Dollfie Dreams at the in-store events. Are you ready to rock? ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SakuraSylph Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) So how does exactly does this work? You have to be there in person to pre order and limit 1 per household? Can this be done by proxy or something? I really want Asuna So, how this will work is thus. Normally at Dolpa, Limited Items is one of the three possible lines you can get into when you get there. You're put in line according to the order of the number slip you drew out of the big box. At the register, Volks has a large stack of tickets. When you get to the front of the line, you can buy a ticket for whatever limited dolls they still have tickets for. You pay for this ticket right away, and later on in the day you can go to a separate booth and trade in your ticket for the actual fullset doll. For the Asuna tickets, instead of trading them in for a doll, you'll trade them in for a shipping form where you'll fill out your home address. Give that back to the Volks person, then you get to wait 'till Asuna shows up at your doorstep. It says one per person (not household), and ships only within Japan. If you can find someone willing to put in an order for you and lucky enough to get a good enough number in line, then it could be done by proxy. Just like Yahoo Japan it'd ship to your proxy then be re-shipped to you. Edited March 31, 2013 by Guest SakuraSylph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SakuraSylph Posted March 31, 2013 That means zero chance of getting Asuna? That's not what it means... All that stuff I wrote only applies to what happens at Dolpa Event Hall. There's still the International lottery, VolksUSA, and the After-Event, all of which will probably have Asuna in stock just like normal. The problem is that Volks is having production delays again because of trying to make too much stuff all at the same time. So, it will take until the end of May to make the Asunas. EDIT: Sorry, I can't take requests for fullset dolls. There just aren't enough of those to go around. But I can take requests for just about anything else in Volks News.

Nehelenia Posted March 31, 2013 Lets hope she will be on the after events then :S I though that this note made her event exlucive :S As for the proxy question, I didn't really mean it ^^; but thanks you so much for answering you are such a nice person Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
