I'm starting to really warm up to the idea of owning a mystic. Thing is, though, I'm not too keen on owning a vampire. If I had to pick, though, mystic Lumi would be my choice, but finding her in NS is proving to be a bit of a challenge. I'm reticent to actually lay down the money for her though, since I'm wondering if Lati will release mystics again relatively soon. I say that because they released tan humans twice in a row; it wouldn't surprise me if they did that for mystics (the second most-requested limited after tan humans).
There's another Grown-Up Laches (not PoA, not the evil looking one) on DoA for $650 here.
I think, after the early limiteds (pretty much anything before the Kitty set), the PoA dolls are the hardest to find--and therefore, they fetch a high price. I think the Winter Tans fetch the highest price (right after Kitty Lea and Tan Mystic Vampire Miel), but I don't think it's necessarily hard to find one--you just have to be willing to pay an arm and a leg. I have a feeling Lati might return to the "sweet" dolls after this round of HKs. They've been doing the crazy makeup for the past couple of releases, which I know a lot of people (including myself) do love, but I think everyone's ready for the sweet faceups to make a return.
I completely agree with you that Lati should have their basics constantly available. And I think it's time for them to start making tan basics, too. The fact that there are about 10 options for every doll on these HK Vampires shows that Lati could make bank if they offered tan basics. I would even be okay if they only did tan ordering periods once or twice a year. That way, people would know when they could get their tan dolls and Lati wouldn't be inundated with orders for Limiteds every time (and it wouldn't take 4 months to ship out their dolls).
And I'm like you, when I make a decision about a doll, I want that doll right NOW. Otherwise I start to nitpick and wonder if the doll is really worth all the money I'm going to be paying for her.
Yeah, I keep seeing Lumi mystics coming up for sale but they are all WS! Maybe because they were vampires people were going for pale when they ordered them originally?
Yep, I saw that Grown up Laches for $650 (I think it was listed at $700 before). I would like to buy it but I have to sell Eli first...still no takers, although I did have one person show some interest yesterday. They asked some questions and I answered but I haven't heard back from them yet. *fingers crossed*
If Lati started making tan basics I would be so incredibly happy! And also broke...but still! :P
Did you see that Kitty Lea on Ebay for like $2,100????? Holy crap, that's nuts... :O Thank goodness I don't want one of those.
