New announcements? SAO and Emilia Dollfie Dreams

  Mario said:

There is never any sort of "official" number of how many there are made, the only way to tell about rarity is how many appear in the aftermarket + How many people won the lotteries etc.

 

thanks Mario - that really helps!

I won Kirito too , I'm so excited !!! I can't wait to hold him :3

The only time Volks comes close to quoting a number is for One-Offs, because they backed themselves into it with that name.

 

I'm excited to see so many wins this time! I know there've been a few lotteries in the recent past with very few winners, so this is a nice change of pace. Can't wait to see how everyone's Kiritos and Asunas evolve.

Right? I've gotten to handle Mimiyo's Len at a couple meets, and the way the DDS Boy body handles is like, half the appeal. I imagine that the DDIII Boy body is going to be just as satisfying.

: ( nothing yet from Volks Int, I take it I didn't win for 05/19?

According to Volks Intl English site. The announcements will continue to go out until the 24th.

 

So, I know I still have a faint glimmer of hope...

Update: My Kirito entry is a WIN!

 

Waiting for my silly husband to check his email.

But do they draw winners during the weekend?

I have no idea, but until Wednesday has come and gone, I shall have hope...

Grats to all the winners so far!

 

I was wondering... does anyone know if the girl body suits fit the guys as well? I can imagine Kirito's outfit to be quite a staining monster O.O.

It is the first auction I won in years ! I couldn't believe my eyes O_o I can't wait to see this new body , so exciting !

Len wasn't appealing to me as he was DDS size .

Hi, I'm new and just won Kirito in the lottery. What would everybody recommend me getting to maintain him?

A comb for his hair, zit cream (10% benzoyl peroxide) for stains (because they will happen no matter how much prevention you do), a stand (even a cheap one from the craft store will help), and some white poster tack because the hot glue Volks uses on eyes is horrible and I highly recommend replacing it.

One thing I wish they would do is ship the eyes separate. It's not like DD & SD aren't "some assembly required" already.

Yeah, I agree; most other BJD companies do it that way. The hot glue tends to soften in shipping (especially in summer) so you get some seriously wonky eye positions sometimes when the doll turns up. And getting that hot glue off the eyes is a pain.

Wohoot!

I entered both International and VolksUSA. Haven't heard back from the international lottery, so I probably didn't win, but VolksUSA emailed me that I had won an Asuna! Can't wait!

Nothing yet, but no refunds. hoping this is a good sign I won, but they just haven't gotten around to updating my status and e-mailing me. I did sign up for the lotto like 3-4 PM PST the day it started...

Have you logged into your account and checked to see if you order status has changed?

still just "order".

For me, my status has not changed from what I reported earlier: Under the Entry Status column, it says 'Order'. Mind you, I entered April 23rd.

 

For those who have won AND had to pay up front for the Lottery, through the Intl. site, what does your status say? I really would like to know...

Woke up to a refund email for Asuna.

I got a refund as well...

 

Sigh...

Aw man, that's too bad

And the refunds keep rolling in. Gone mine at 2:00 am PST for the international lottery. But I did win on the USA site

Seems like phone calls from dolpa are slow. I got a call today for kirito. They are not automated so could take a few days.

Well fug I just got my refund. I'm very disappointed, but found a back up....
