I finally decided to save around 1000$ for my very first Dollfie Dream. I desperately want pic related. However, the cheapest available is 75k yen for a used one. A new one is just too scalpy-priced on Evilbay. DD Rin would be my cream doll, but that's an insane amount of cash. Especially for a used one.
My other option is to get the clothes and wig set for 20K yen plus a used naked DD. I found one that is complete with a nice face-up and blue eyes. However, she's badly stained, of course. The price is 30K yen. Separate shipping because different stores. Going this route would make me save around 20K yen total, but I won't have Kagamine Rin. Only some random chick "cosplaying" as her.
Third option would be to settle on the way less rare and less expensive DD Hatsune Miku. Used is around 50K yen and new is 80K yen. Having Miku would open the option to get a wide variety of Miku "modules" for her.
No matter what I chose it will take at least 2 or 3 months to scrounge the cash. That is without buying ANYTHING frivolous. The options may turn around in that time.
To stop blogging and actually ask something, any DD owner can tell who was their first DD and how/why you have chosen her?
