February 2011 Volks Tokyo Bay Cruise - Limited SD17 Reisner

Nov 5, 2010

    1. Cruise Event Main Page:
      http://www.volks.co.jp/jp/event/cruise_tokyo11/index.html


      Volks is with all biasedness Silver Coin happy this upcoming year. Say what with Williams in December and Reisner in February? (are your wallets ready, everyone? :wiggle) but where be that hypothesized SD17 Cecile to complete the set? :? (/rant)

      Who in their right mind would run a cruise in February anyways? They're all going to freeze their butts off in Tokyo Bay for sure. =A=


      *****

      Edit: Also, isn't that Cecile's outfit he's wearing? Is this another level-up to Reisner turning himself "into Cecile in body and in soul? so he can compete for Williams' attention and such. *nods* (/incorrect fangirl vision)
       
    2. Well, I expect they'll stay inside when on board anyways . . .

      I really thought they might put out that SD17 Cecile this go-round. Well, I would only be interested if he were a sunlight SD17, but that's what I would have predicted. Maa, a fresh flood of Reisners won't be a bad thing :).
       
    3. YAYAYYYYYYYY

      SD17 Cecile - just what I need to complete the circle
       
    4. Awww no Cecile? I was hoping to see Cecile, not Reisner. I guess this one has no scar either. I wonder if the head mold changed for this one or not.
       
    5. I see in the corner something about Cecile's eye - looks like you can probably buy it again this time, too. It makes you wonder how many eyes Cecile's lost! *ducks*
       
    6. Reisner actually keeps it in a jar, yes. Like this -->

      *nods...shot*

      I'm sorry about all the fangirl visions tonight. =A=
       
    7. Yayyy!!!!!!
       
    8. wow my god!!!

      SD17- Reisner.....
       
    9. I am doomed if it's a Reisner !!! My everlasting love !
       
    10. i just saw my favourite DD - ALNA!!!!!!!!! OMG she is the DD i only love ....><
       
    11. I feel the same!!! I pray it is Reisner!!!!!
       
    12. Williams or Reisner, I'll prey that I'll get at least one of them home
       
    13. Williams and Reisner are so handsome!

      but...Reisner is so cool ^^
       
    14. The new "Desire for Revenge" Reisner looks to be a refined concept of the un-named Reisner featured in the Another Yourself 2009 book and the Cecile-looking Reisner that was shown at the Kobe Cruise last October. The Kobe Reisner (which looks very much like the one in AN2009) was a regular open eyed head that had the scar painted on the left eye. Thus, I am guessing the new Revenge boy will be the same... either way, the new Reisner is yummy. ^_^
       
    15. Nyahahahaha~ ah, when it comes to messed up eye stuff, trust CLAMP . . .

      I wonder what sort of limited outfits they'll have. Sometimes they're really cool from cruises . . .
       
    16. Ok, I'm doomed of the Doomed, I have to do some savings now !!! God I want Reisner !
       
    17. Isnt it very limited though? we have to pay for the cruise too, right @_@?

      I wonder if this reisner is little bit modded from 1st one, or it is just faceup.
       
    18. I thought Williams is the one who keeps Cecile's eye in a jar? Reisner just has his own eye and wangsts about it not being good enough.
       
    19. Omg... Volks is just going all out to bankrupt us. Reisner?!! Drooling....
       
    20. Lolz


      I absolutely love Reisner's styling <3
      Williams and Reisner being released soon *dies* but yea where is Cecile! (and Elizabeth?)

      Maybe someone more familiar with the storyline can answer... but why does Reisner keep the coins around his neck?
      (that is what those are right?)
       
    21. If it's a Cruise event well... do they have an after event sale? It's impossible for me to join that cruise so I was hoping/wishing to get a Reisner...
       
    22. Oh you're absolutely right, of course Williams is the angsting eye-keeper. Why haven't I realized it before *hit self*

      Isn't this particular ""Desire for Revenge" Reisner desiring revenge on Williams? According to this bit of story: http://0bbs.jp/superdollfie/img293_3

      So now Reisner not only wants to become the second Cecile, he also wants to revenge on Williams for no apparent reason which of course has a very apparent explanation, to me at least. It just means that Williams can certainly keep Reisner's eye too if he pleases. :aheartbea:aheartbea:aheartbea
       
    23. He wants revenge on Williams cause Williams got there first. *coughs* *snicker*

      Poor Reisner, always the bridesmaid. Never the bride.
       
    24. Okay onwards with crappy translations!! (feel free to correct me, those who have better Japanese skills!)

      [​IMG]

      "Williams...
      The name that I'll never mistake..."


      Reisner, engulfed in a killing aura that no one can approach near
      His heart which is sworn to loyalty,
      now transforms into the flame of the red lotus, and burns!

      "You, Williams...
      With the proof of revenge carved into my body,
      As long as I carry this scar...I will show you (the fruition of his revenge?) with my own hands!"



      [​IMG]

      His silhouette, rising in the sunset...
      The shadow! The light! And then...(yeah I don't know either =A=)

      In order to completely become Cecile in body and in soul,
      The eye which he blinded himself,
      Now, shines forth again!


      *****

      *coughs* Cecile, if you don't come back soon these two are going to develop a deeper bond with each other than with you! I say whatever Reisner's logic for revenge is (there isn't any), go ahead and bring on that obsession with the handsome Ensign!! *faps* :dance

      ........OMG now I need to see DP24 Williams' story!!!!! *holding head rolls and squees~~~~~~~~*
       
    25. Wow byouyuuken what a story, thank you so much for translating all that and posting the pictures of this hunk! I am dying to find out William's side of the story more than ever now:O
       
    26. *sigh* This just all makes me adore Reisner even more for his insanity & obsessiveness. What would we do without Volks' tibit stories of fan-squealing doom? ^_^

      byouyuuken - THANK YOU for all the lovely info! And, yes, I also really want to know the DP24 Williams story!

      ;) Kim & byouyuuken, you both are just giving me more photoshoot ideas, LOL! Williams better covet that eye... *smirk* Hmm, I need to find some eye-sized jars. ;P


      BlueSand & wjsdpwl - The cruise dolls are generally pretty limited. For last year's cruise, VolksUSA was able to allow customers to enter but I have no idea if they will be able to do the same for the 2011 event. If it is like 2009, then you will have to pay for the doll, the cruise event fee, and somehow get yourself over to Japan for the actual cruise. If I had missed the boat last year, then I would have not been able to get my Williams. Or you can see if anyone in the Marketplace is willing to grab Reisner for you.
       
    27. LOL! :lol:
       
    28. @red rosin: thanks for answering :D Oh well, I can't really afford to go that Cruise nor going to japan since I don't have a visa... I'll be just waiting in marketplace and hoping someone will sell one without inflating it's price. :(

      I've been waiting for this chance ever since the first release of Reisner... It will be a dream come true if I will be able to snatch one :)
       
    29. Reisner is so coolllll.....
       
    30. I very love him>0<.
      He so gergous.
       
    31. 4 months to save

      there is goes everything
       
    32. No money for me to go to Tokyo... I have recevied the Volks News and the paper to go... but too expansive for me ;_; ! My life is not fair !
       
    33. I just got the books, I was surprise to see the cruise, I'm sure a lot of people will be happy, a Reisner and a Williams for the Dollpa, wow.
      I got 2 tickets but unfortunately, too expensive for me.
      I ever did a cruise, Kobe, it's amazing, and Tokyo bay must be great, I love this place.
       
    34. I wish that volks would have an After Event Sale... even though it's hopeless but everyone can dream.... :(

      I envy people who will attend, Tokyo Bay Cruise must be awesome... :)
       
    35. Actually they can all have Cecile's eye, as there seem to be plenty to go around . . . :sweat Creepy eye jars for everyone!

      (Psst, Reisner, I'm sure Cecile appreciated the gesture but revenge would be easier to get with full depth perception. Just sayin'.)
       
    36. Reisner is to die for. I do not collect boys and I cannot start now. He is gorgeous. Probably the most beautiful boy I have seen even more than Williams, for me.
       
    37. OMG ! I love him ! Reisner, you're my sweet own obsession !!!
      Many thanks for the pics and great translation ! Bring me the boy lov* !!!
       
    38. Ugh... I have some questions... >.> If we have the tickets, then we go to Japan to enter the Cruise... Can we just buy one of the Reisners they have on sale? >.> Or is this another lottery holding like Dolpa's Wiliams? (_ _lll)~
       
    39. I beleive this is the same like Kobe Cruise Williams Lottery. Good luck! I am starting to save now so I can try for him on YJ!
       
    40. Ah, I see... *sinking heart into the bottom of the sea* (_ _lll)~ I'm not good at lotteries. How much is the cruise? >.> I didn't see any price in the website... If we add the cruise fee to the doll price (which is 168,000 yen), plus other fees and taxes... Would it be higher than 280,000 yen? >.<"
       
    41. Reisner's price is included postage tax only (I think). The price for the cruise is already on their website.
      For the Sunset Cruise it cost 12,000 yen(Accompanying person: 15,000 yen) and for the
      Night Cruise 14,000 yen(Accompanying person: 17,000 yen)

      Surely, Reisner's price will be sky high! >_<
       
    42. This Reisner version is amazing!! :fangirl:

      aaaa...VOLKS you are eviiilll...williams and reisner all at short period of time >o<
       
    43. Okay, when Williams came out, I was ready to shoot myself! XO
      Now Reisner, the scarface? SD17?!

      Why can't they offer layaway! I know he's probably going to be like, 1,000,000 USD. lol

      God, if I got a Williams, Reisner, and Kohya, I think I might have a heart attack!
       
    44. LOL!!!!!!! Would they consider indentured servitude? LOL!!!


       
    45. lol. Either that or you could sell your soul for dolls for life.
      I think if Volks read this thread, they could get some good
      ideas of what doll to come out with next...
       
    46. gosh.......-_______________- He's unbelievably gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      D:...The price is *cough* unbelievably high too *cough*
      T__T I really want one....but I have no money for him-.-||
       
    47. Then please don't give them any idea. XDDDD I'm already screaming here.
       
    48. I think with SD17 Williams in Kobe if you got into the lottery for the cruise you could get a Williams. Usually with these events you get a sheet where you can mark off which items you want. My memory could be wrong but I don't think you had to do another lottery for the dolls. Some of special items like the sword or eye were lottery based.

      In his case they had a special second lottery for a Sato event with a few more Williamses. Yeah, I missed out on that one, too. :sweat
       
    49. OMG... So then the ticket is the only thing we need? =3= Hmph... I'll try to go then. Hopefully I can snatch a Reisner. After that, I'll just go home as poor as ever. _(_ _)_
       
    50. I think so. I mean, double-check when the actual rules come out . . . I'll see if I still have the Kobe cruise flyer around somewhere, although the sheet where I marked off what I wanted I sent in to them.

      But I think it went something like: send in application with desired items marked - get lottery results - if you get in, pay by a certain date - they send the info/stuff you need to get in. I believe the dolls get shipped after, I don't think you can necessarily pick them up on the cruise.

      Anyone with cruise experience, please correct me if I'm wrong :sweat.
       
    51. You would need to enter with Volks for a lottery to go on the cruise. Generally, these lotteries are only open for Volks VIP/VS members - you have to have one to enter, and you cannot go in a member's place. They do check identification. Of course, you can't be a member without a Japanese address. They may have already mailed the entrance forms to members to submit, so I doubt you would be able to enter for the lottery if you manage a membership now.

      If you are chosen to go, you are then able to purchase the limited items you want. Reisner will be available for everyone who goes on the cruise to purchase. Williams last year was a preorder. I imagine Reisner will be as well.
       
    52. Yeah, I should mention I lived in Japan at the time and had a VS membership. They mailed the application forms/flyers to members. Some people from overseas managed to go, but that was after contacting Volks directly and working it out with them.
       
    53. Ah... I see... ^^ My friend has a VIP member, and I can go as a friend, right? >.> I'm crossing my fingers here. (_ _) Just contacted her... and she said applications are already sent and she'll inform me again in December or January if she manages to snatch a Reisner...
       
    54. The lottery is drawn if too many people apply for the limited space available on the cruise (which is always the case), and Reisner is guaranteed to everyone who gets in but hey~~

      There are two cruises for this year's event! There's a Sunset Cruise and a Night Cruise at two different times. More spaces to go around to the applicants in the lottery. ;D
       
    55. Yup yup... and I hope they'd be nice and release more Reisners so he won't be so damn rare anymore. XD
       
    56. Aw, I hope you can go! *huggles*

      I would love to have my first Volks doll but I still hope it will be a Kohya/Tohya!
      I would love to see the cruise, though. I wonder how much it would cost? @@
      (though I'm sure I don't want to know)
       
    57. Ah, I believe BlueSand already put it :

      >.> It's expensive, but not as expensive as getting Reisner on the MarketPlace later!

       
    58. Really, that's it?! Wow, I see why people are jumping on!
      Though I don't have a fricken membership!><

      Heck, I'd jump on too, if I wasn't uber broke! lol
       
    59. You can find someone with a VIP member so you can go as a company. ^^;; You will have to pay more, but it'll worth it. I'm trying, and I hope I'd be able to. *sigh* Why now...
       
    60. The tickets are with the name of the Volks members, so usually people living in Japan.
      So everybody can't enter to the lotterie.
      I have too but can't enter, too expensive for me, pity.
      But I ever went to Kobe one, I got the doll for a friend, not for me, pity again.
