Discussion of 2007 Unoa Pre-order (Shipped Dec. 2007)

White unoas are NEVER sold in preorders. Never sold except on very rare occassions at shows that Araki (or staff) attends in Japan, and then its pretty rare too they are not always offered at shows and normally only a couple at that time, I have never seen a 1.5 unoa the newer joint unoas in white. I am guessing they have not been sold at any shows for a long time and where only offered as a treat to showcase unoas as a doll when they first created them.

You don't see them come up on Yahoo Japan auction site these days. When they do come up they go for about 2,000 dollars. So the short answer is you can only get them on YJ or on the rare occassion someone sells one here which was no doubt originally bought from YJ.

The 1.0 is lighter in tone than the 1.5 which is currently sold.

 

this post lists the prices without Crescent Shop's fees: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1843190&postcount=1269

Also, this one mentions the price w/ fees to be around $500: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1866850&postcount=1361

 

Okay guys, I hope sheukwah will forgive me, I have edited her original post to include all the known info about the upcoming pre-orders. Please let me know if I missed anything out, or if there's anything else you think I should include. And now, whenever anyone else asks for info in this thread, just direct them to the original post!

 

I just checked and my Unoa from the lottery cost $35US to ship EMS to the states. She was shipped early February 2007 direct from Crescent. There are shipping fees and such when dealing with auctions, but when it comes to Unoa items directly from Gentaro through Crescent, it's much more straightforward.

 

EMS Shipping: (Zone#2) US$ 70.00

This was Crescent's shipping fee for 1 Lusis and 1 Sist both with large milk parts, from May 2006.

 

I live in Europe, and I checked the confirmation I got from Crescent when I ordered my Lusis and Sist back in 2005: EMS Shipping: (Zone#3) US$ 80.00

EMS for 1 girl should be $35 (Zone#2) or $40 (Zone#3).

 

My Lusis (from 2005) was total 510$. (with big milk part)
I think it was 40$ for shipping itself for Europe..

 

My Lusis and Sist shipped from Crescent in March 2007 and the shipping cost together was 6100 Yen from Japan to Seattle. ($54 USD exchange rate) I didn't think that was too bad considering one Blythe costs $25.

 

Thanks .

I more just need to work full stop - I'm a student and I don't get state support over the (very long) summer holidays, so it's either a job or running up a massive student overdraft. Which means doll buying is really, really stupid, tho because they're so rare I'll probably buy one unoa anyway and pay everything off once next year's loans come through.

 

Considering that we're getting the opportunity to purchase the Unoas at original price (plus Crescent fees, of course) instead of the 1K they have been running at a minimum on ebay, I'm quite happy to pay the cost of shipping from Japan. I'll still be saving HUNDREDS of dollars.

is it too late to preorder? i'm not quite sure since others are saying they have paid but it said on page 1 that the preorder period was june...i'd love an unoa *throws plans of buying ds out window*

 

The pre-order period for the Unoa dolls (Lusis & Sist) is in June.

I believe the people who have paid are talking about the Lottery that was held in January & the Parts order early this year.

 

with ordering with crescent do you have to pay immediately after you have pre ordered an Unoa?

 

I'm pretty sure you pay the full amount inc. Crescent fees upfront at the time of order. However, shipping fees aren't paid until Crescent has the dolls in hand.

 

thank you for replying to me, I have more queries >_> But I was wondering after pre order how long it generally takes for them to be sent out to Crescent, or finished? And is there any tutorial for stringing unoa's because i looked but i didn't come across one.

 

if I'm not mistaken, the dolls come with stringing instructions.

 

everything i've got from crescent has been shipped ems. i don't think the prices are better or worse than other companies. ems is worth it, we pay so much for our doll parts it seems best to ship them the safest and fastest way possible.

 

I don't blame you!!! It seems like it is so rare for them to be available, that when you get the opportunity to jump.... you just jump!!!

I love mine even though I paid waaaaay too much for them. You won't be sorry!

just one noob question its just the kits right? If you want to order the kit with extra faceplates you need to go for the parts preorder?

I am thinking about it...it´sd just that I love them to bits but...dunno I´m still waiting for a doll I ordered in early march (yeah^^U) and I don´t have a character in my story that would fit a unoa

but I know exactly how she´d looK!XD

we´ll see

 

That's the thing, I don't have a character for a lusis either, but I just love the soft look to bits. I guess she'll just be like my Juri 06, who will remain just a doll within my collection but not an active member of the big plot.

Can't wait to get my hands on one, so much to do, face-ups, clothes, mods, etc

 

They are just kits yes. If you wanted extra parts-- you could have jumped on the optional parts order earlier this year. There has not been any announcement on when they will have one next.

 

do we have any news on when the faces from the parts preorder might be comign??

 

Gah, I hope it comes soon! Sakura wants her boobies, glasses and kitty ears! LOL

 

just as I thought.. thank you^^

I know!!

 

So you can pre-order right up until the end of the period? I'm hoping I'll have the layaway on another doll paid off in time for my wife to get the Sist she wants. Since it's not a lottery, it looks like, the only thing will be having funds in time.

 

I dunno why but I'm suddenly getting impatient for my faceplates to arrive ^^;

Wish I knew when they were coming

 

Has anyone gotten any email from Masamichi-san yet about the optional parts? I'm just worried I might have missed and not send my shipping charge as I've been having problems with my p/c intermittently.

 

Nope, nothing yet... I keep checking my spam folders, and hoping... Kierren is trying to be so patient--but she's just dying for some boobs!!!!!

 

some news http://alchemiclabo.cms.drecom.jp, anyone can translate?

 

I'm dying for boobs too but none seem to be forthcoming.

wish i was a unoa.

 

*clears throat*

So, I would take that to mean that they're on their way to finishing up the optional parts pre-order. Those of you who ordered through Crescent may soon hear something.

ETA: Before anyone asks, the progress board is here:
http://yellow.candybox.to/alcshi/tackynote/tackynote2.cgi
But it won't be relevant to you guys, they will be posting the customer codes (I think) of the orders as they ship them out. You won't have a customer code since you ordered through Crescent.

 

woopie

just in time ....Ive just gone and bought me an Unoa

Oh my poor credit card ..but it was an Unoa 1 ....and I just love the Unoa 1 ...and she was there ...just looking at me ....saying buy me ....buy me you need me to put your wigs on ....buy me ....so I did


so now I have to work for ever and ever and ever to pay off my credit card

but Im oh so happy

 

hey where'd you get her? on ebay, or here? CONGRATS!!!

i love my ones too. I want to order a 1.5 in the preorder... for all the new faces I have coming in the parts preorder. it will be nice to pay regular price for once, rather than the secondary market prices.

 

HAHA - I wish I could get a new pair for myself too..

tinybear: ya, lol I hear ya - I got a little one too on Y!J - when I pay off more of my cc, I'll help you out and get a wig or two

 

Oh, I hope the parts will come around the first week of june! It will make the best birthday gift for me then! XD

 

very true ...although I wouldnt pay secondary prices for the 1.5 ..I would the 1
I have told AreeElf to keep me away from the Pre-order
Ive just orderd a Zoomoki so CANT spend untill my CC is paid off LOL ... I THINK I will be 90

My new girl is a Sist ...but I have a Lusis face plate and O Lusis in the pre-order
and Kaye`s Unoa head ...so Im gonna make a hybrid with a Mini Fee I think

dont you just love CC lol
I have orderd 15 new pelts too...they went on the CC ...black and dark brown , with white tips ...so I can dye them any colour I want ....So Cool!

I had some Gumdrop eyes arrive a couple of weeks ago ...I knew I orded them for a reason LOL CANT WAIT to see them in the Unoa

 

Congrats, tinybear!
It will be so much fun for us to see your girls created.

 

Oooh *waits and waits eagerly* I've been planning like crazy and bought myself the unoa freak book...

But! I am worried >__> as always...
I ordered through crescent and am awaiting my shipping mail but.. When I log into crescent and check my status for items ordered it doesn't say that I have ordered anything. it just says "0 items" everywhere.. Is it supposed to be like this?
Geez, I think I'm getting paranoid. u_u I would just like to see if it's anything to worry about or if it's nothing at all.. Since I recieved a mail right after my payment that my order is accepted and everything I shouldn't worry but.. still.
Comfort me ^__^

 

It is not a part of their regular ordering process so they do not list it there.
Do not worry. It is going along as usual. We should hear soon.

 

Whee, awesome.. I always find teeny tiny details to worry about.. Now I am relieved. Now I just need to scrap up the final moneyz for my future girls since I misscalculated a bit >.> *cough* 100$ *cough*

 

Yeah they come with everything you need except the glue......so which part or parts do you glue together? Anyone have a picture? Would epoxy be better than superglue?

 

You need to glue the top of the leg together. Its very simple Superglue didnt work at all for me, i used a epoxy glue i think.

 

hmm...a question, If one were to order through a friend in japan, how would they have to order? Do you need an account on the alchemic labo site or anything like that, is it like an "ordinary shopping site" put in the basket etc. or do you go by another method? ^_____^

 

No, you need an account there.
And you can order only during the pre-order, usually no shop place, i mean on the site, you can see the shop only when the pre-order start.

And me too , i paid my parts today, but 2 of them with be sent later , both Lusis Wink and O, they seem have some troubles with.

I'm just wondering how long it will take to get the parts, i hope soon, ^^

 

I have a question, if you were to order the bigger breast plate thing would the kit also include the defalt one?

 

Yes if you order the large bust plate you get the flat one as well, thats the one that comes with the doll

 

I just got my Kaye headback, and it fits awefully nice on my 1.5 Sist face-plate.

Not all of those are mine though, I'm painting several for other people. Hopefully I'll have them all done soon. @_@
I'll have to skip out on the next preorder though, since we've moving and I'll need my extra cash for the new house and stuffs..but I think I really wanted a boy anyway.. so I'll wait.
