goodness me!



Ok I was trying to blog earlier today - something along the lines of a new blog post for updates of what's going on in the house...

but then I saw something that is really interesting to blog about... there is a note on the Luts site which reads like this:

'We regret to notify you that we are temporarily suspending to offer Delf on LUTS, effective November 15, 2011.
You may continue to buy Delf until November 15, 2011. After November 16, 2011, you won¡¯t be able to do.
We will let you know if we resell Delf on LUTS. 
We apologize for any inconvenience and we will try more to offer better service. 

Yours sincerely, 
LUTS'

....

Shock! Then interest... does this mean that FL and CP are finally going to get the Delf line back from Luts? Does that mean that somewhere on the horizon is the chance for the Type 3 girl and a Type 4 boy? after all, we've already had a glimpse at the T3 female in the VF doll...

Or does it mean that Luts is just punishing CP for daring to think that they could produce and sell the VF doll? I know many people think that the Black Butler doll which CP sold earlier was a 60cm, but I was surfing the website - and clearly saw the notation "70cm" next to him, which meant that CP/FL has not sold a 60cm until the VF doll came up.

It raises a lot of questions... 

For those who are unsure what this is about the brief explanation is as follows: CP used to produce dolls and have them sold through Luts - those were the Delf and the MNF. When CP decided to organise and set up their own company to sell their dolls, they took the MNF from Luts, but not the Delfs. From then on, while Luts has continued to sell the Delfs while CP has produced them. 

Lots of people have had lots of ideas about why that was and if it would continue to last... etc. etc. But neither company was sharing what was behind the decision or why Luts continued to sell Delfs.

I can only speculate... but this new position of Luts is very interesting... very interesting indeed.

Any thoughts?

  1. I'd really like to see FL pick up the Delfs. I'd just like to see FL do 60cm dolls.

  2. Oh so would I! It would mean that the Delf would get a much needed update. But I don't know if that's what is happening. We can cross our fingers...

Wow. I used to collect a lot, and now, I don't do a lot of collecting at all. My collection has slowed to a crawl - some of it is prob...
