Finally Coming Home.
When it comes to Dollfie Dreams, perhaps the most coveted girl is DD Tamaki Kosaka.
I have always been attracted to her beauty and literally had dreams about getting her. I knew the only way I would be able to get her would be on Yahoo Japan. I also knew I was going to need quite a bit of money at my disposal. There was an auction for a used Tamaki with some staining that came up on Y!J and I felt like I needed to go for it. There was no way I was going to be able to afford a brand new one for over 200,000 yen. So this was my chance. I used bid service japan, which charged 10% commission (not to bad). So far I have had a great experience with this service, I would recommend it to anyone. The auction was intense @_@ and I ended up paying a little more than I wanted to, so I had to sell some of my DD items...but in the end, we won! For the bargain price of 166,000 yen :p She should be home in a couple weeks, and I will need to treat her stains first, but I will definitely do a box opening post :D
Congrats on getting Tamane! Pricy is pricy but good job !
Congrats :)
Thank you! I am thrilled!
Congrats! I had been wondering what this one went for -- I was watching but not bidding. Can't wait to see her. She's on my "unicorn" list too.
I feel like I got lucky with the price, it could have went much higher!
ah well done ^__^ hope she comes home okay? im super excited about getting my heads to go on my bodiess too :D
I hope so too! I will keep an eye out for any heads for you!
Nice, So you were one bidding on her.
mmhmm!
Whoa, congrats on your unicorn! =P (Gotta thank Balldylox for that term; dunno about you, but I much prefer it to "grail doll".) Definitely looking forward to seeing her arrive, get the spa treatment, and then get welcomed to your group. :)
Actually, my very good friend Ultimaknight used that term for Saber (1st gen.) http://www.ultima-i.com/post/1257/saber-unicorn/. Not saying no one used it before him but, I know I've heard it around here a lot more since he made that article on his blog.
Ah yes, the unicorn. That one DD that is so elusive that she becomes mythical.
lol, I have mentioned my 'unicorn' a few times in the past =P

But it does look like term is picking up some popularity ^^;
Congrats!!! I Think she will bring you much happiness :D
I have such bad luck in auctions and like you said their quite intense I always get so nervous >.<. haha
Have fun with you new girl (well as soon as you get her hehe) we will be looking forward to seeing lots of pics! :D
Yes, I hate auctions :( Would much rather just buy something and know that it is mine!
Congrats! Tamaki is certainly a good catch =3
Thank you!
Nice! I was almost going to bid on Tamanee-chan ^^;
Thanks :)
Congrats! ^-^
Was watching this one too, but didn't dare bid after my recent horde of clothes XD
Look forward to photos ^^
Thank you!
Congrats! <3
I'm really excited to see the box opening!
Thank you, I'm excited too!!!
Congrats! Yeah, she has great figures by all makers. :D
Congrats on your new girl as well!
Thank you. :D
Congratulations! She is so gorgeous^^<3
Thank you!
Oh i see. It was you who bought her. I saw this DD on YJA the other day. I also saw the price soar up pretty fast. Congratulations. There was one other To Heart character that was on YJA a few weeks back and it was Komani Tamaka which fetch a pretty hefty price tag as well.
Ah yeah I knew that was going to happen XD it started out at like 10,000 yen!
Congratulations!!!^^
Thanks!
Congratulations !!
Thank you!
Well, now it all makes sense. I was wondering how you could turn loose of Ryomou. But now I see that you had a Unicorn in your sights!
Congrats on getting Tamaki! She is such a sweet girl and one of my all time favorites. I cannot wait to see pics of her when she gets to you!
That's a HUGE price... O.O
But congratulations, the Tamaki DD is really something very special, especially her eyes(and eyebrows) are very catchy...
