Volks News 83

Hmmm...  Most interesting thing to me in this issue is the Gatlantis Carrier on page 88.  The minotaur miniatures on page 102 and 103 are kinda neat.  

Is this deal with Zealot Miniatures an existing partnership?  It feels like a reaction to Bandai's recent deal with Games Workshop.

Oh... Doll stuff...  Yeah, it looks like that minidress set on the bottom of page 40 and the cowboy boots on page 46 are the only things that I might enter for.

On page 70 they do show the cutoff jeans outfit and the other SD16 outfit on a DD.

Just a heads up for anyone who wanted the Pearl Pink and Soda Green Chair Stands.

It looks like Volks USA is taking pre-orders for them until May 30.

I saw that and it made me a little hopeful, as I think the outfit might work well on my Snow Miku, but she's on a S-bust.... But then I got a chance to buy a bundle of doll stuff for a great price and there went that money. Sorry Miku, maybe you'll get something next time! XD;;

I placed an order as soon as I got the email from Volks USA about them.  I've been wanting the green one for a while.

I thought she will be this year pre order project 😆 I am glad she isn't

No the preorder projects are always(?) at the end of the year, and should be two dolls (usually two, has been three at least once).

If by 'end of year' you mean 'last quarter' - the preorder dolls are always revealed in September with the preorder usually starting in October.

('end of year' dolls to me implies the December Dolpa releases)

That's what I meant yeah. I tend to consider the December Dolpa releases January dolls since that's when most of us would actually be able to buy them (aren't the web events in January?).

Well, the new items are up in preparation for the after event on the Jp store.

Looks like I get to save some money this time!  :)  

 

Nothing for me either. The doll-sized doll bag is cute, but more than I want to pay for that.

Really only makes sense if you have a YoSD. 

Yeah and I have no intention of getting a YoSD; it'd just be a cute accessory for a DD in my case, and I think I'd be better served by getting a bag from 1pinfun:

Volks USA lottery for the Dolpa 41 stuff will be July 5-8: https://volksusastore.com/webstores/event/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=1732

Reminder for anyone interested, the Dolpa 41 items lottery at Volks USA is live now:

https://volksusastore.com/webstores/event/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=1732

Lottery emails are out for those who entered.

I didn't get the mini doll bag.   But the lottery winning notice was weird in that it listed I had won the couch, which wasn't even part of this lottery.  I won it in teh last lottery.

I won the mini bag!  I lost the outfit I entered for, though.  Fairy style gilet?  Something like that.  Guess I'll have to watch for it on Manda.  

I won the Satin Pajama set, and the Folklore Gillet Style set.

didn’t win the mini carrying bag which was the only thing i entered for. hopefully they won’t be too much trouble to get in the general release.

I also lost for the Fairy Style Gillet outfit. However, was just able to order it now. Looks to still be in stock as well.

Is Volks losing so much money on the Volks News free shipping campaign they deny lottery wins to get us to pay shipping twice?  

 

I know I can't be too upset, I won the bag in the lottery, and it's the only thing sold out right now.  Hopefully, Volks sees the popularity and demand, and does another run for those of you who missed out.

I'll admit it is a little frustrating to loose the item in the lottery when they clearly had enough to offer them up for grabs in the general sale afterwards.

I've asked in the past about lost lottery entries w/ inventory showing up during release. It seems like good amount of people don't pay, or they enter multiple times on different accounts and end up only paying for one.
