After-Lottery Dolls

Hi! Sorry if this post is in the wrong place.

 

I recently saw Snow Miku up on Volks USA's website for sale. I bought her, and she shipped. I am still waiting for her to arrive. I think she was $650. I thought that she was only for sale through the lottery.

 

Does Volks ever have dolls that people didn't pay for, or finish paying for, that get posted for sale again? I am just confused because I haven't seen a limited girl like Snow Miku up for sale. I didn't see any posts or events advertising her and only happened on her page a few days before the DD Gathering event. She went for sale on the 6th of October, and sold out before noon.

 

Just asking for some clarification, to see if it's ever possible to get away from reseller prices by stalking the Volks websites.

Hi! Though this would probably be better suited under the "Question and Answer" section, I can help a little bit.

 

Snow Miku was originally a preorder doll, so as many dolls were made as there were orders. Since certainly some people backed out, and Miku in general is a big Volks seller, it's not a surprise Volks would put her up for sale from time to time.

 

There have been some dobleepented cases where limited supplies of lottery dolls that were backed out on by buyers were sold in a clickwar event through the Volks website, though I can't recall off the top of my head which ones they were. It's not very often, especially as the hobby has expanded, but it does sometimes happen.

 

Congrats on your new girl

Like Takane... clickwar lasted all of 2.5 seconds. -.-


The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be.

Miku was a pre-order, they made as many as people ordered of her! Some buyers may have backed out last minute, or perhaps Volks made couple hundred extra to use for promotional events

 

However, in suuuuuuuuuuper rare cases (and I mean, this has only happened like twice) a lottery doll was used for DISPLAY at an event/store, and then later got sold thru Volks at-event lottery

It has happened, I got my Makoto from Volks intl. about two years ago. She was appearing and disappearing multiple time on their webshop over a period of a couple hours and I decided to grab her. Not sure if it was only that time though, I certainly wouldn't count on it happening again.

Yeah, Nanoha was available for like, four months! Then again, Volks' pictures of her were SPECTACULARLY bad, some of the most off-base they've ever done. These days it's well-known Volks' photos suck, so that probably also makes a difference.


In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser.

It's not that Volks photos suck. DD just look better in person.
