Kyoto Dolpa 8 (March 13, 2011)

Jan 31, 2011

    1. Should be interesting to see how many paid for tickets who won't be able to go... I am sort of surprised it wasn't canceled either.
       
    2. Thank God! Was worried! Be cafeful and have fun. I can just imagine your mum's panic.
       
    3. I'm glad to hear you got safely to Kyoto. <3
       
    4. Yeah! Maybe others will be able to make it too!

      Joval (Tony) and Tsumugi (F10) can't wait to meet you!

      I'm going to be wearing a black short trench with a green/blue scottish plaid scarf and an irish pin. Pls. say 'hi'...
       
    5. ^_^" thanks thanks!
      Lyrajean:
      I'll be going with my sister 8D! Let's hope we can meet XDDD
       
    6. I'm glad to hear you are safe in Kyoto, rhapsodies. Look for me tomorrow, I'll be the blonde in (probably) black and purple.
       
    7. I hope everyone who is able to make it to Dolpa has a nice time! :)
       
    8. I hope all you people going to the Dollpa will be taking pictures. :o I really want to see 'owner' pictures of Gretel.
       
    9. At dolpa waiting for it to start. Just wanted to know how popular hansel and gretle is.
       
    10. Hope you have an amazing time!!!!! Everyone that went there despite all that is going on deserves a great time, and thier mind off the problems!!!! Take pictures if you can!!!!!
       
    11. omg were any of u traveling to Japan then when the tragedy occured OO.
       
    12. Glad you made it down in time for the dolpa rhapsodies! I hope everyone has a really good time, and I hope to see lots of pics, especially of the LEs and One-Offs :).
       
    13. YAY! So glad to hear you're ok... Try to have a good time and enjoy yourself!
       
    14. Thanks everyone ^_^
      Just returned from the event.
      Going to upload the photos 8D
       
    15. how's the event?
       
    16. I think it was supposed to have more crowd than what I've seen today :/
      There's some empty tables at the vendor area... I guess it might be because of the quake -_-;
       
    17. Give the link when you're finished posting... ;A; Did you manage to get the outfits?
       
    18. Ah!!! Can't wait for pictures!! Am glad you made it there. Come back safely. Huggles for getting the dress for me!
       
    19. wow, can't wait to see pictures!
       
    20. Hansel and Gretel and the Yo Tenshi are popping up on Y!J~ ^^
       
    21. Volks announced that Sendai Dolpa will be happening, and that the Huis Ten Bosch limited item is SDGr girl Alice.
       
    22. Hoo... An SDGr girl at last! ^^
       
    23. is it a one off?

      yes alice SD XD alot of people are going to want her, i am totally immune thankfully XD
       
    24. No, presumably everyone who attends will be able to purchase her.
       
    25. Oh wow... But it's a girl, so I'm safe. I hope she won't be accompanied by any SD17 or SDGr boy, tho... That would be "bad"... ^^
       
    26. but my sis and my reactions were like...mehz...she looks like a guy = =.............................
      *alert*
       
    27. Pity you didn't get any more pictures of Hansel and Gretel, but it looks like you had a lot of fun, I wonder if there will be an even at the end of July/start of Aug?

      (Also, dammit, saw a picture of Gretel on y!J >_< Need that girl.)
       
    28. Alice looked a lot like the sch A/Lucai family of dolls from the pic they showed the audience. My thought was main her new body better be interesting or it just looks like a sch A on a girl bod with a dress and curls. I have pics will post them later. dolpa then train then plane to oki all in one day. -So tired!
       
    29. Did you guys get to meet each other??? ^^
       
    30. I'm glad everyone got there safely and had a good time!

      I'll repeat my question from a few pages back, do we know when the after event on the international website will take place?
       
    31. LOL I second that.
       
    32. It should have been announced somewhere in the guidebook but no one has posted any of the dates online here so far. I really would like a chance at some of the clothing from this one.
       
    33. I want to take a look at the clothing from this one too again...but can't find it. I must have clicked on a hunderd things on the Volks Japan site and can't seem to get at it. Do we have it on here somewhere. I was looking through the thread but there are soo many pages!!!! O__O!
       
    34. Kerbey Lane's announcements got delayed... but I am worried because I don't know whether to enter the Volks lottery or wait a few days. I don't want to have a pending transaction on my card, then find out I (HOPEFULLY) won from Kerbey Lane and not have enough to pay the deposit. What should I do?? Help :(
       
    35. I'm having the same conundrum here. I'm gonna give it another day or so before I worry about it though . . . I'd imagine that Volks will get those confirmations out to the dealers soon. Of course, the delay is perfectly understandable! But since the Dolpa went on as planned it stands to reason that Volks will wrap up such loose ends as this shortly. *crosses fingers*

      Best of luck to everyone who is entering for someone (or an outfit) this time around! :D
       
    36. Hosono blog put up One-off pics again. This guy's awesome. He spent the night in his office, apparently, then braved the Shinkansen to get down to Kyoto the next day, and took as many pics as he could for everybody who couldn't go.

      A K. Mayura Colin. I think I just died a little inside. Nyaa~ And that Williams really is the most amazingly snotty-looking Williams I've ever seen. Love the Eden, and really love the fact that there are a couple of Valico creations in there, as she's really not been producing much at all for a while. Actually, that Suigintou is lovely as well, and that Miruku absolutely adorable.
       
    37. Timid - Thank you for the link.
       
    38. timid-I would like to thank you for the link also! So many beautiful dolls!
       
    39. Yes, Timid. Thank you very much indeed <3
       
    40. Great link! I love the One Offs! I wish I could get one someday!
       
    41. You and me both! :lol: I have a One-off addiction problem but have never won a One-off lottery . . .
       
    42. I was very underwhelmed by the one-off selection. I couldn't afford one (after winning the right to go into debt for my TNS Tony last fall) so I didn't enter. I migth have put in for the Yos but neither was a mold I was after and the pink candy puff outfits were hideous. I gues I felt as if the dolls that were well made up were dressed abysmally. The Eden and the Williams were probably the best of the batch.
       
    43. to me the yohanna stood out the most, her classical haughty looks killed my wallet.. yup, seems there was little interest in her i gues XD
       
    44. I think the Eden would have gotten to me if I'd been there. sigh.
      Thanks for the link timid!
       
    45. Thanks for the link Timid. I really like how Hansel looks in these pics. I don't like the outfit or wig, but his face is so sweet. The One-Offs are to die for *gasp* O__O!
       
    46. Got this email last night and thought I'd post it in case anyone who entered the KL lottery got it stuck in their spam folder:

      Due to the earthquake in Japan and heavy workload on the part of Volks, I am going to treat the Kyoto 8 lottery a little different. As of today I have still not received confirmations and not sure how soon I will.

      I suggest you enter the Volks lottery as a back-up so if you cannot get a doll with Kerbey Lane Doll Shoppe you have the possibility of winning the Volks lottery. If you enter the Volks lottery Volks will put a hold on your credit card for the amount. But once confirmations are received and you do win a doll with Kerbey Lane I will give Volks your name and Volks will remove you from their lottery sheet. You will not get a doll from both Volks and Kerbey Lane.

      My apology for this but I would feel awful if anyone missed a chance for their doll so just in case our confirmations come after March 16 you will still have the opportunity to win your requested items. I am hoping that confirmations will come Monday.
       
    47. Can I ask a silly question?
      I'm searching on yahoo for Unas but I can't find any. Was she sold at this even in the end? Were all the 150 pieces ready there or volks will ship them to the winners in the next months? Just wondering! I'd also love to see pictures of her. I saw the YOSD...Nono is supercute and Kira is so nice! But Una? Where's her?

      Also...I'm maybe still sleepy but...where is the pic of SD Alice? Can't see her in the previous link!

      Sorry... :P
       
    48. Sarina: Haven't seen any unas in Y!J with tenshi or una search &#12358;&#12394; I translated the event it says unas are delivered in April.

      "SD&#24188;&#22825;&#20351;&#12300;&#12454;&#12490;&#12301;&#12398;&#12362;&#28193;&#12375;&#12364;4&#26376;&#19979;&#26092;&#12395;&#22793;&#26356;&#12395;&#12394;&#12426;&#12414;&#12375;&#12383;&#12290; &#12393;&#12358;&#12382;&#20170;&#12375;&#12400;&#12425;&#12367;&#12362;&#27005;&#12375;&#12415;&#12395;&#12362;&#24453;&#12385;&#12367;&#12384;&#12373;&#12356;&#12414;&#12379;&#12290;"
      ""SD angel young, Una" is changed to give you a late April. Please wait for a while now please enjoy."
       
    49. I searched for Una too on Yahoo but without success; I would love to see her: I'm curious about the effect of her white skintone.
       
    50. ah, I see...!
      SO I guess we'll see some Unas on Yahoo in april...!
      Thanks!
       
    51. So, who put in for the limiteds? Any word on the after even for the dolpa?
       
    52. i put in for Gretel with Kerbey Lane and Volks USA. I am seriously hoping I won.
       
    53. I put in for Beatrice! Still no news, I'm climbing the walls here. xD March 23rd seems so far away, but I'm really hoping to hear from Kerbey Lane before that. *crosses fingers*

      Good luck Tetradeka and everyone else in the same boat as us! :whee: This seems like a rather, hmm, "quiet" Dolpa thread, I guess there weren't any really popular dolls this time? It sure would be neat to know which dolls were popular at the Dolpa and if they sold out fast or not. ^^
       
    54. I've put in for Gretel and am all out of fingernails at this point. I'm down to gnawing knuckles.
       
    55. That's my thoughts, Dolly, it did seem to be pretty quiet (though given the recent events I'm not at all surprised) but no one had really said what they were putting in for so I thought I'd ask.

      I've put in for Gretel myself, she really is rather cute... but since I don't have any minis she's going to be very expensive (not like she can share clothes with someone else until she gets her own.) ~_~
       
    56. I put in for Beatrice. *crosses fingers* She'll be my first Dollfie Dream if I win her. :)
       
    57. Still no confirmations but have been asssured they will arrive asap. Am certain they will so a little more patience please!
