lardroom Posted August 24, 2020 OK, trying for a Clover and Sera this time around. Also decided to shoot the moon and went for the one-off Kira. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted September 2, 2020 I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON MY CLOOOOVVVEERRRRR!!! AHHHHHHH! SOOOOOO HAPPYYYYY! Sorry, I just woke up around 4:39 am and checked my phone as I always do before work. I saw an email from Volks and was like OH PLEASE LET IT BE CLOVER! And it was!!! 😄 I *just* finished up the payment process and got confirmation of it. They said shipping will begin at the end of September so I will hopefully see her within a month or so! GAH! I'm so happy and excited to finally be getting her! This was my 4th try so I was beginning to think the Dollie Gods weren't going to allow me to adopt one. 😉 I hope everyone else who put in for their Icons will get them too!! Billy 14 I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebby Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Question, I applied for Clover, but so far I haven't gotten any email yet. Guess I lost. But does the lottery application page status "result" change if you lost/won? Or does it stay on "application"? I am honestly so sad that I didn't get an e-mail, this was probably the only time Europeans had a chance to get the Icons. Congrats to everyone who won though, can't wait to see your photos!

Ylse Posted September 2, 2020 I entered for Clover and Lilac and haven't received any mail yet. When looking at the page it still says "application" though. So not sure if I'm still in the running or if it's a loss for both 😔 My Instagram 😬: https://www.instagram.com/ylse_marije/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oscar is gorgeous, but her aftermarket price is outrageous. Still, when I thought I had lost her lottery I seriously considered aftermarket, but she was in the $1800 range then and not the $3000 range. Happily, Volks USA got a few extra dolls and I ended up winning after all. Wish she had come with a mini rose like in the pictures.

marishade Posted September 16, 2020 Really random questions for everyone. . . Have been trying to ignore it but it keeps bugging me and was wondering if anyone else had the two problems: 1. My Lilac's wrist joints are extremely tight. Trying to turn them or pull them out feel like I could break them. . . 2. Anyone else have a poorly cut wig? Mine seems as bad as when I cut a wig myself. . . 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That isn't uncommon on the DDIII frame. You can try one of two things. Pull the wrist part out and look for flashing still on the end of the peg and trim that down. If that doesn't fix it, then you can try sanding the peg down using a really fine sandpaper. You might try contacting Volks about the wig. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

marishade Posted September 16, 2020 Interesting, none of my other DIII's had the wrist joint problem. I will try to yank them out. Okay, I am kind of worried that I waited to long to contact VolksUSA, I will send them an email and see what they say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baldylox Posted September 28, 2020 I got my shipping confirmation email for Clover early this morning! 😊🥰😍😁 Oddly, the Volks email made no mention of Clover being shipped, just that my order was shipping today. I had to go my Volks page on their site to match up order numbers and check order status to confirm it was indeed Clover. It also didn't say if it was going EMS or DHL. The tracking number didn't look like one I normally see and I plugged it into DHL and usps sites it doesn't come up. But it might be too early for it to register too. Either way I think she's on her way so that means others here on the forums should be getting their notices soon too! Billy 2 I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

If it doesn't begin with EJ, then is most likely DHL. DHL tracking numbers are 10 digit numeric. 1 The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

baldylox Posted October 1, 2020 My Clover arrived today too! She was supposed to be here tomorrow but I guess she couldn't wait to meet her new family. 😉 I took a few phone pics of her after unboxing her but my indoor lighting does her ZERO justice so I plan to go to my parents this weekend for proper outdoor photos of her in natural lighting. I already saw the one AsianEd got and she's beautiful.... but.... I only saw her indoors. I took my Clover outside for a few minutes in the sun and OMG she positively GLOWS! I can't wait to get good shots of her! Billy 2 I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
