    1. totally safe again from this run...... thank god XD
       
    2. interested to see tenshi mika. i should be safe since she wouldn't be lottery available.. i am interested in seeing sd16 megu. i bet she's stunning! too big for a size i collect, though x3
      yosd megu is always tempting. but, my laptop kicked the bucket last night, so i should behave.

      at least mother sd was being kind to me this time.
       
    3. I'm wondering how much the yomegu is. As for the sd16 megu, I'll have to see. Megu was my first girl so I'm interested LOL ! But ya gotta see pictures of the sd16 megu~
       
    4. More girls?! Wow, I'm surprised and likely safe again! YoSD Megu is very cute and DD Lucy Maria Misora may be as well ^^
       
    5. I would guess YoMegu maybe $400-$500 USD? Because of Komame? Most Yo are under $400, but since she has her special plush, she may be more ^^;

      I did look up photos of Lucy! She looks so adorable in the anime screenies and I have loved the ToHeart2 girls.. So I curious so look at her as well.
       
    6. Well I guess I'm safe. I'm kinda disappointed by the no boys factor, but incredibly happy cause it means I am not gonna get trapped...unless DD Lucy Maria Misora is so cute I'll get her anyways. D: I hope she'll be a easy one to resist.
       
    7. I hear the Yo-SD Megu is the same one as the Akasaka Release, so I guess the same price also.
       
    8. Do you think she'll come with outfit or have different hair? Probably not huh? LOL I'll have to wait until pictures come out ^_^;;! I hate waiting XD !
       
    9. Megu should always have the same blunt cut bang wig, I would think :) As for clothes.. I guess this weekend will tell us! x3 I'm so anxious, too!
       
    10. At least by that time we could manage to scrub some finds >_<'' and I think I'm safe from this march dolpa Yay! *wallet dancing happily*
       
    11. Uh oh... A Yo Megu? I don't think im safe anymore. XD I was so in love with the one from Cool in Kyoto, if this one is styled anywhere close I'm a goner. :D (price gods, please be kind) ;-)
       
    12. The characters look cute but I'm not familiar with either of them. As usual! ;)
       
    13. Will the SD16 Megu look like SD16 Kira?
       
    14. I love Megu and have been wanting to get one again (had to sell my original) so I'm definitely excited to see pictures of the SD16 version... I just kinda hope it's not the same headmold as the SD16 Kira, I didn't like that one as much as I wanted to. BUT Yo Megu? I'm screwed.. I've been wanting a yo four sisters for a while now.
       
    15. Well I am happy about the timing, no SDGou in sight (I assume he'll be a Tokyo Boy release - a Yukinojo re-release) and no sideways surprise like a WS SD17 boy. :drool I am not prepared for that yet.

      I am very curious about SD16 Megu, her SD version was the first ABJD I ever saw and loved. I adored what they did with the SD16 Kira release but kinda hope they'll do a traditional kimono look for SD16 Megu's first release. That would kill me a little.
       
    16. You mean these are the dolls that will be released at the dolpa in mar?
      Yay! Then im saved. Hur hur
       
    17. Yo-SD Megu!!? If so, I am totally trying for her!
       
    18. I heard there will be sd 16 megu yo-sd megu&komame for dollfie and two DDs will be there for dollpa. Is this true? I wished for yo-sd kurumi or something like that...
       
    19. Looking forward to see some actual pictures :...(
       
    20. Thanks Kima for the link! SD16 Megu is very pretty~ Looks like the Kira mold, but love the red lips and dark hair. Loving the clothes, will have to snatch one of the steampunk sets for sure!
       
    21. SD16 Megu is pretty tempting, but I've already got a SD16 Kira....seems like I'll pass this time.
       
    22. Thanks! SD16 Megu looks great~~ :D
       
    23. Yo Megu probably will have to come live with me, as well as all those western/steampunkish outfits. Love them!
       
    24. Safe from the dolls, but I can't say for sure for the outfits...
       
    25. I want Una... :...( Probably won't be able to get her though. I'll have to try to get one of those steampunk outfits. The girl one is perfect for one of my dolls. And trying to resist one of the DDs...
       
    26. Arghhh!!Thought I'm safe...from the dolls but not the outfits>____>
       
    27. Thank you for the link! Looks like I'm saved at this time, yay!

      But I like the frying pan with egg, soup ladle and turner, oh, and the tennis racket! :XD: Too bad it's not sold separately :sweat
       
    28. SD16 Megu in a kimono of sorts! Lovely! Outfits are steampunk, spring/back to school/uniform type clothing.

      I like a lot of things but the only thing I must get is the tennis racket! And maybe that cutie heart apron and fried egg set. >__<

      edit: the racket is sold seperately for around $35. yikes.
       
    29. Wow, thanks for this news! Probably I will try to get it, but $35...hmmm.... will think.
       
    30. I know, I know. :doh But I was just saying one of my guys needed a tennis racket and here it is! How can I not try to get it? :sweat
       
    31. ooo!! YoSD Megu!!!

      Also thank you for the picture link Kima!
       
    32. Noooo!! But YES! at the same time. I have been wanting a YOSD Megu since starting into this hobby. I really want to bring her home. And I am doomed with the outfits! The kimono and the steam punk sets are a killer!
       
    33. Oh, then indeed you need to try to get it! ;) Good luck. I decided to try too.
      Somehow the kitchen set is only $5 more expensive than just one racket.
       
    34. I'm glad to see that Volks is making more accessories. I absolutely love the frying pan set! :aheartbea All I can think of is SD17 Boy wearing only the apron with the frying pan in hand, lol!
       
    35. Thanks for the link, Kima. :D
      Megu in both versions are lovely. I think I'm doomed!!
       
    36. Steampunk outfits!? Oh crap. I don't know whether to curse Volks or thank them! Ugh, I hope that my financial situation is better by the time these outfits hit US shores, because the idea of putting Nanoha in the Smooth Lamp Black set to match Agatha in the Red Steam set is just making me squeal inside.

      . . . I suppose I should be grateful that so far at least I'm not pining for any of the actual doll releases. (Yes, that's right Poof, just tell yourself it could be worse. XD )
       
    37. Am wondering will Yo-megu be available for After Event or they are exclusive to Event only! >_<
       
    38. Nimbusdrake - Choooow!!! Now I want that set ;)
       
    39. The outfits and accessories look nice. I have this urge to buy everything. ^_^;;
       
    40. Kitchen sets? Oh Volks ... you slay me! :lol: Some really interesting things this Dolpa! And thank the dollie gods, no SDGou, yet. Like you said idrisfynn, probably will be in May in Tokyo.

      Very cool Volks is re-releasing Una as I know so many people really wanted her, so now there will be more floating around to find some homes, even via YJ. The SD16 Megu looks very distant and sad. I wonder who broke her heart? :roll: But I agree, the outfit is very similar to Kira's.

      Really want that SD17 steampunk outfit with the short jacket! :aheartbea And I'm going to have to break (pun intended) on one of those apron sets. How can I resist putting a girlie apron on one of my guys?! :lol:
       
    41. Yay, I am pretty much safe from this Dolpa! SD16 Megu is beautiful, but I never did fall for SD16 Kira either. The only items that catch my eye are the bright blue of that boys' kimono, the kitchen set, and one YoSD girl outfit. I've never understood steampunk, but I can see scavenging parts from all the outfit sets.

      Thank you for sharing photos!
       
    42. The only thing that interests me doll-wise is the upgraded skeleton in the DDDy body that Niimi is on. I really want those aprons and the Kitchen set. x3 I'm lucky I never really got into steampunk, so yay there. I'm mostly safe. ^^;
       
    43. Thank you for links!
      I am waiting for bigger scans to be sure, but I think I am not safe! :|
      Can someone please tell me if Yo Sd Megu will be for international after event?
      And also when will be sato event please?
      Thank you in advance!
       
    44. I thought the set on Mao (the tennis outfit and the tennis racket was released as a full set along with the racket in the past)...........or maybe it was some other equipment it came with in the past I can't remember. The steampunk style is not something I'm into so I am safe from those. However I really like the cooking apron set too! I also like all the school girl outfits ^^
       
    45. Omg, Yo-tenshi Ken is so adorable! :D
      Are yo-tenshi available for international order? >_>
       
    46. I think I'm safe, but I have to admit that Una is very, very cute.
       
    47. Thanks for the link KimaLucifer I am not safe from the clothes and perhapas a DD!!!
       
    48. Oh my goodness ^_^ if Yo Megu is coming again then I'm very happy! Four sisters is my favorite Volks mold but I've always missed out on the yo version. And Mika/Ken is my favorite MSD (besides Toppi...) so a yo-tenshi version is... well I guess it will be impossible for me to get if it's a Sato event but the fact that they exist makes me happy ^^;!! I'm not really a yo-sized person but with this I don't think I can resist being converted! Yay, yay, yay! (I don't think I can afford to go to Dolpa this time though.... it would cost as much as Megu herself to get to Kyoto then.... so I'll just try in the lotteries I suppose...).
       
    49. SD16 girls have always had double jointed elbows. I'll have to pull mine out to really compare, but that pic looks like the ones she currently has to me.

      The dolls are pretty underwhelming. It really does feel like Volks has been pulling back, releasing fewer dolls, and ones they feel will be easy sells. Though I don't remember SD16 Kira selling out and being an overwhelming hit. Maybe they feel the allure of another chance at a 4 Sisters YoSD will draw people in.

      Like many others, the only thing I really want is the tennis racket. I have Prince of Tennis dolls. They need tennis rackets at some point.
       
    50. Oh, I'm safe. :D I already have a Yo Megu. I thought 4 sisters Yo have always been Japan events only and not released for Lotteries? Or am I wrong? >.>
       
    51. I'm with you Kim, slim pickings in my opinion the last two dolpas. I can't complain about keeping money in the bank. I think it's great more people have a chance at YoSD Megu but I'm pretty underwhelmed by SD16 Megu. She could have at least been SwD or something, I don't know. I'm likely just bitter I wasn't terribly interested in Williams December 2010 but if I knew he would be all I could hope for over a year I would have taken him, haha! I'm too impatient. ^^;

      Maybe the Japanese market is more into updated versions of classics? However! I was never really into Dollfie Dreams but they are getting cuter and cuter, better and better engineered!
       
    52. Thanks everyone for sharing the links! :)

      I'm safe this time! Wallet is happy~! :sweat
       
    53. OMG I see it!!!!!:fangirl: Maybe we'll be getting a reworked SD16 girl body!!! FINALLY:o I might just MIGHT have to have this SD16 Megu FML:...(... Other then that nothing too tempting.

    54. in Japan, the 4 Sisters Yo's have only been available as an in person LE for....was it Dolpa 19? I believe. That was all 4 of them. Then there have been releases of certain ones at events, like Kira and SwD Nana for the Tokyo Disney event, the recent YoSD Megu Osaka event, and YoTenshi Kira for Sato events.

      In the US, however, all 4 Sisters were offered via lottery to attendees of the 2008 NY Dolpa, and I am pretty sure everyone who entered got one. So, there's actually quite a few of them in existence. I wonder if Megu this time is going to be an in person at the Dolpa only doll again, or will she be offered at the AE and to VolksUsa.
       
    55. I'm hoping to try for yosd megu. I've been wanting a four sisters since they came out. And all of those outfit and shoes are cute and I want so many of them. I wish I had a better paying job.

    56. Hmm... It looks like getting them have always been for DP attendees only, right? Not via online lotteries? >.>
