Dear Meschler,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your inquiry!
We appreciate your interest in the new SLE line from Zelex. As of now, Zelex has implemented a policy for their SLE series that requires in-stock purchases by Europe-based vendors like us. The stipulation is to order a minimum of 10 dolls to be shipped to our warehouse and then we have to distribute them individually to clients.
We are currently evaluating this requirement, as it involves a significant transit time and we are not sure to receive the dolls before the end of the year. Additionally, the retail price for our European clients would be substantially higher than that for our US customers. This is due to the inclusion of a 16% to 27% VAT depending on the destination country, duties, and the extra shipping costs from Belgium to the client's destination. We estimate that the price would be around 2300€ and we are not sure the demand will be the same at this price point.
Would you be interested in purchasing an SLE model at the price of 2300€?
Therefore, we prefer to wait and gather feedback from the market before committing to stock this new line. We understand this might be disappointing, but rest assured, we are constantly seeking to expand our offerings in the most customer-friendly way possible.
We will definitely keep you updated on any developments regarding the availability of the Zelex SLE line on myrobotdoll.com. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
Warm regards,
Alice

Thank you for your answer. Thats Great Info.
Hmmm….2.300,— €?! Thats a huge step up compared to north Americas 1.800,— usd. Docklandet.com from sweden have them already online for 1.736,95 €. So i think 2.300,— € is a Little to high for my liking and compated to other vendors.
Anyway, i am Not in a hurry and so i can wait and See how things will Fall together….
Thank you and best wishes,
Meschler

Thank you all for your input!
Until now, we had only considered to airfreight the dolls first to our warehouse, aiming for a quicker arrival before the holiday season and reducing the likelihood of transportation damage.
It looks like slow shipping is the way to go if we want to remain competitive on the price.
As a result we’ve implemented a dual-tier pricing structure: dolls priced around €2000 with a slower shipping option (45 to 85 days, particularly during the holiday season) for customers who are okay with the wait, and a faster shipping option priced at about €2300 (12 to 30 days).
It seems that vendors offering the dolls in Europe for $1800 were not fully informed about Zelex's specific terms for European distribution.
In case you are interested in a specific model you can now place your order directly at
www.myrobotdoll.com on the
Zelex SLE pages
Enjoy the weekend!

Is this doll only available in one color? I've never seen it with lighter skin.

Yes, they are preconfigured and you cant make any changes. Right now there is only light tan available.
