I always just pictured the payment being done completely separate after they’ve drawn the results like how VolksUSA does it. I think it depends on payment type. ATM / Debit may not just have a pre-auth charge. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be. “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OccultBeast Posted May 6, 2022 Volks USA email just confirmed Lottery dates for the After Event dolls: June 1 @ Midnight - June 10 @ 10AM (Pacific Time) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KittyFields Posted May 7, 2022 Awesome! I will definitely be trying for the clickwar on Volks Japan but I am relieved that the Volks USA lottery will be after that. I was kind of expecting that to be the case, but it's nice to have confirmation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiakisenpai Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) I’d much rather deal with a lottery than a click war. This will be my first time ordering a doll from Volks this way and I’d love Anthy but I doubt I will have any success with the USA lottery. My mind can’t handle the anxiety of clicking and panic buying though so I guess if I lose it was meant to be Edited May 7, 2022 by Chiakisenpai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iPOUT Posted May 13, 2022 Really dumb question. Since the sales period for Anthy and Utena say 10 AM June 29 JST. Will it be 8 PM June 28 in EST? I googled it but I'm still unsure. >__< Also, wanted to say I'm almost done with the anime (up to episode 28 of 39). The dub is a bit rough and I feel like I'll need to watch several analysis videos to understand everything, but I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For my understanding you’re correct on the timing but I’m going on Google as well on that. And you should check out the manga it’s awesome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kranberrijam Posted May 19, 2022 Complete Volks USA Lottery details. Utena doll. $650 Anthy doll. $670 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylveonPaws Posted May 19, 2022 Well I'm glad that US is confirmed as lottery. Hopefully the clickwar will go ok (for me it won't) but a 2nd chance will be nice for those in the US, I wish there was another option for other countries though. Good luck everyone!

At least the ones I've seen haven't been too insanely priced. Considering what other DDs like Sakura Miku and Kagamine Rin can go for, Utena has been showing up for an absolute steal so far. I've seen many Utena in the past few days, all around $650-690 usd. I think I only saw one Himemiya, and she was $690. Considering Volks USA decided to price them not using current conversion rates, those are just barely over the US prices. It makes me hopeful that those of us who might miss out during the clickwar can at least grab their girls for decent secondhand prices, especially since the USA lottery isn't an option for some. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stablemanifold Posted May 28, 2022 Hello! I am aware that, assuming you have won the lottery, the delivery will begin sequentially “Mid-August” in case of VOLKS USA, but does anybody know what will be the delivery time for VOLKS JP, assuming you have won the click-war?

They don't list one, which usually means the products are available for shipment now. Expect that there will be a 2 - 4 week delay between purchase and shipment due to the increase in sales volume from the event though. Volks USA has to wait for the dolls to arrive from Japan by container ship, so that's why the shipment is August. 1 The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?
