February 2011 Volks Tokyo Bay Cruise - Limited SD17 Reisner

Really?
Is is still here?

Was it hilarious because it was supposed to be,
or because it was so angsty?

 

LOL... I'd love to see it. XD

 

Ahahahha... I just read these! XDD Thanks for the advice, timid~! XDD

I think Cecile will come back for his eye one day. And run after Reisner instead. orz...

Christmas gift for Ethan... would be a moneyless mommy and a nude Christmas tree. XD And a horde of angry brothers and sisters with nothing to eat. XDDDD

Nope... a Reisner would be his Valentine's Day gift... in February. =3=

 

I'd imagine it's still in the gallery or photostories somewhere, but I didn't bookmark it/subscribe to it *sigh*.

 

red rosin did the photostory:

I figured somebody would know where that thread was. Gah, I'm wiping tears of laughter out of my eyes right now . . . Too funny.

 

I remember that photostory, so funny.

 

LOL... XD Okay... poor James.

 

Right. lol
He is like super depressed right now.

He really needs a flask of vodka and some serious Cecile comfort.
He's cradling the eye and the eyes all like 'dammmm... this is messed up'

 

I am doomed for all eternity...(_ _) Reisner *dies*

 

I really really want a Resiner too!! Too bad he is only available for the cruise......

 

...and with the after market prices... Reisner is just... a killer... (_ _)~

 

Tell me about it.
I want a Christmas gift from Volks. *evil grins*

 

If I want a Reisner, I will get Reisner no matter what. Even if I qualify for the cruise, I will not go. I am still undecided. I have a 5 doll limit and a no sell policy. I may adopt him late next year, many months after his release. Just now, I don't know how to make space for one extra doll. Besides, he will be expensive, I need to prepare for that.

 

Ah, Reisner. ;_;

I'd better start saving for him right now... the after market price will be higher than what I can expect to receive in by birthday in February. >< But I am so decided to get him! Cruise dolls are hard, but not impossible to get, thankfully. X3

I just hope they don't release anything that tempts me until July... T-T'

 

Yes not impossible, I think... I just got mine. ^^ Hehehehehe...

 

They have already started posting Reisners for sale on YJ!. I saw one for 328,000. That is nuts with the exchange rate that is almost 4K. The lease expensive one was I think like 168,000. Maybe after the actual cruise, prices will drop but if they stay like this, I don't know how I will afford him

 

168,000 yen is the actual base price without cruise ticket price and fees. ^^;;;

 

Yes, I figured that since it was the opening bid, maybe that was the base price!

 

I'm sure a lot of people will take advantage of the demand for Reisners... Keep an an eye for the best deals you'll see in Yahoo Japan Auctions, like what I saw yesterday, someone got Dolpa 24 Williams for 8k yen less than the original price...
For sure not everybody can afford when the price got 4k above for Reisners.

 

Back from holidays... So no news about the lottery ? No winners yet ?

 

I don't understand how these people can sell things they don't own already? >.> My friend lost the lottery for the cruise... =A= I'm so sad!

 

If they have prove they can. I bought my Genji and last SD17 Williams this way on Y!J and had to wait for them.

 

Ugh... Want more Reisner and Genji, too... >.< Someday, someday...

 

I'm really hoping that I could get him on a FAIR price... >_>

 

I don't think there's a fair price for SD17. =A= Except for Williams... Even Hijikata has soared to the sky.

 

I want a Resiner and SD17 Cecile so bad T_T (why did I read their stories specially when I'm a huge pirates fan )


*and I also want the tanned Genji >.>

 

I believe there will be... I've seen a lot... ^_^v

 

Oh no!!!!

T^T I'm so sorry!!!
Do you have another friend you
can visit the cruise with?

Maybe all of you can go!!

Though I must admit that I've seen
more SD17 Reisner's on Y!Japan than
I have Williams. And that was months before
the cruise was even announced. Maybe it won't be so hard.

 

But their prices have soared to the sky... >.> I've found mine, so I am content for now. But I still want to see that new Reisner... I know I'm being greedy... >.<

 

Right. That's what exactly what they mean about reselling LE
for a ridiculous price. @@

You really got one? Yay!
At least you got em right?
And I don't blame you for still wanting
him. It's not greedy at all!

I'd love to go just for the thrill of it.
But I know there will be more. XD

 

Ehehee... Yes, I've found my Reisner a few weeks ago... *^^* I still need to find him a new body, tho'... He still has the old body with old knee joints. My friend says she'll pay close attention to Yahoo! Japan after the cruise, see if she can score one for me. Although I think the prices won't be less than 180,000 yen~ ^^

 

I just noticed that the current Reisner has a little bit difference than the first one...



the new Reisner got bit bigger or more opened eye...I'm not really sure but I love the new reisner

I'm praying that I will be able to get one in best deal...

 

The new Reisner looks more similar to the Tokyo Bay Cruise Reisner ^^ They changed the make up as well! *^^* The new make up is darker around the eyes, making them look somewhat larger... ^^

 

Yeah that's true, but I'm not looking at the whole face itself... I'm comparing the shape of each eye... New Reisner's, crease on the eye lid seems a little bit narrower than the previous one... Maybe i'm just seeing it my self hehe... but it's possible that they did few minor changes on him like what they did to Williams... Volks has this tendency to do minor changes the doll head every time the re-release it. right?

I'm just stating my opinions here :p

 

I think it's the casting moulds that have changed over the years. ^^ The process of making new ones always make the newer versions different. ^^

 

Saw this today ! He is magnificent. Prices on YJ! are all over the place. I saw one at 168,0000 then one at 230,000 and one at 300,000.

 

Oh I am gripping my heart as I see Reisner's picture, thanks so much for posting that carmen171! He's a totally insanely handsome hunk...I can't afford him since I'm paying for Williams but I can definitely dream!

 

He looks a little less soft than the earlier version.
Also his make up looks more similar to the style of Williams too.

I wonder if Volks will have an after sale?
I'm not sure if they only do they for Dolpas though?@@

 

I'm so sad... My friend who has entered the lottery for me as lost... Seems this handsome man is not coming home...

 

I also bought both my Genji and Reisner that way.....I was a little nervous with the first one but both transactions were perfect.

 

If they're the correct prices then yes... ^^;;; But if they're hella expensive, I need layaways! XDDD

Not for the Cruise items... Sadly. =A=

 

Well, they were not correct prices...Genji was pretty fair, and Williams I definately overpaid but it wasn't ridiculous....I just wanted him so badly.

 

Oh my goodness! My head hurts when I saw the Yahoo japan auction prices for Reisner. There's still one that starts at 168,000 yen...
I wanna cry now!

@fransyung: I agree with you... I need layaway too!!

 

I know that Y!Japan by default doesn't offer layaway, right?
But you could ask the seller though if they do?

How does that work afterwords, I wonder?
Because layaway is the best option for these babies.

I saw a Dolpa 24 Williams going for about 7,000 USD.
And it was just his head! @@

 

Unless you have your own YJA account, I don't think you can contact the seller to ask about layaway, and then there's the problem of the Japanese bank they use, etc. I don't think most auction services will ask the seller that question for you, either. However, back in 2008, Rinkya let me buy a Sei Tenshi that was $2500 through layaway! I wonder if they might still do that.

 

Yup! Rinkya are the coolest. I got my Gengi on Layaway and I still do every big purchase I do with them on Layaway. They are lovely and very professional about it.

 

It depends on the seller. Some offer layaway and some state they don't.

I will have to wait until Feb-Mar if I want to get the new Reisner.

First, I want to see his head full frontal pics!! XD

 

Yeah, the prices are absolutely ridiculous right about now for him. @@
I also certainly hope that someone didn't pay that much.

I was hoping to sign up with Rinkya myself.
I've actually never seen anyone in the seller's notes that state that
they offer layaway, but it's good to know some do.

That's a good idea. Did anyone figure out whether or not
he's definitely the same headmold?

I wonder if many people will buy him if he's been altered to much.
I really want to get him that outfit though! ><

 

That particular one starting at Y168000 is selling the ticket / doll, the winner of the auction needs to attend the event him/herself

 

Wahh, he looks great. I really like this faceup on him, and his outfit's to die for. His boots might even top Young Ensign Williams's *swoons*.

I think a lot of the scalpers haven't figured out what the market can actually bear these days. Being able to sell LEs at more than original asking is a LOT harder than it used to be on Y!J from what I've seen . . .

 

I know! He is sheer perfection. I am going to obviously wait until after the event to try on YJ! for him. As Anavel pointed out some of those lower priced auctions are for the cruise ticket only. It's going to interesting to see what he is going for after the event...I wish the exchange rate was better...it's pretty awful right now.

 

I see... I observed some of the Y! Japan entries mostly it was sold more than 230,000+ yen

 

Ok, I still can't believe it.... I got one !!!! Thanks to the best friend ever !!! a real angel, as I often call her...
I'm totally broke now, but I don't care : My Pirate Captain is coming back home !!!
Still in shock... can't believe it... But missa happy !!!!

 

Aww... Congrats! Which one did you finally get? ^^ The new one or the old one?

 

Got the new 2011 cruise Reisner. Well I will as soon as he's released ! Full set and all...

 

Ohohoho~ I saw that one ended at 240,000 yen! Much more than I've paid for my own SF Reisner!!! XD Congrats!!! Can't wait to see him home!

 

Like I said : totally broke ! LOL
But well, I feared the price for him will go rocket sky after the cruise... And well, he deserves that !
and also, he was my ultimate Holy Grail... Anyway, stopping to look for good excuses to get him : that's done and I'm happy !
Now the wait begins !

 

Congratulations to you!!! I am waiting till after the cruise to try and get mine and then.....totally broke as well, but you are right...he is so worth it!
