Question about AliExpress
With all the warnings from the full size fourms about AliExpress and other online vendors I wanted the guidance of an experienced collector before I put money towards one and get burned. Thanks and link is below

Re: Question about AliExpress
This happens not just with dolls. Many CD box sets by The Beatles, Pink FLoyd, and other rock and roll bands have been counterfeited - there were articles about them online a while back. They still turn up on eBay.
Ditto for some Japanese animation action figures and statutes. The counterfeits are a fraction of the regular price, and advertised as new.
So again it sounds like a case of buyer beware. If you're looking for a deal, maybe check the Sales forum here. Second hand items do show up all the time. You might find what you're looking for.

Re: Question about AliExpress
Well I did take a peek and the one Phicen that I did find for sale is the older 2013 model which lacks the vaginal sculpt (hey I'm a bit of a perv and a stickler for details) so hopefully I will hear back from Phicen here in the next few days on S&H charges. The doll On AliExpress has 12 orders so far and only 6 reviews which makes me a little more leery. But we will see what happens between now and when Phicen gets back to me. Heck they might even give me a discount!CF wrote:My guess is that if they are listing any item incredibly cheaper than normal retail it is a counterfeit.

Re: Question about AliExpress
Valid point. I'm going to wait most likely unless the dealer on AliExpress gets some more reviews.apliz2005 wrote:You can get a Phicen for less than 200 USD from Phicen.com. Is it worth the risk, your call ...

That settles it then, as soon as it is financially feasible I'll be ordering form this guy true I'm going to have to wait a month to get it but the discount is just too good to pass up.JustinBridou wrote:Looking at my huuuge order's archive at Aliexpress, I've discover that I bought my S06 at the same shop
