shinegamix Posted May 24, 2013 do you think they made less of these two because of the upcoming kos and momo release. you know like put all resources on the already made orders so we can send them out at the right time and keep customers happy You might have the point there but for DDIII, KOS-MOS is semi-white skin rather than the normal skin for Alice and Asuna so the impact is not that great? Maybe there is a shortage of vinyl and VOLKS ended up focusing the resource on KOS-MOS and MoMo whereby the PO already confirmed... you still have fewer people painting molding and sewing. do in the same amount of time with fewer workers you cant make as much ;_;. they should hire some parttimers for this busy season making my triumphant return Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SakuraSylph Posted May 24, 2013 Nah, I don't think there were necessarily fewer made of Alice / Asuna as compared to other dolls. At least, when they sold out at the in-person events was about the same as Aoko / Melty. I just think all four were more popular, thus more competition versus, say, SW Lucy.

AyaToyBox Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) I rather they re-draw the lottery for them rather than do this "click war" thing but of course it's much easier to put them on regular sales than do re-draw as they will definitely sold anyway ------------------------------------------------------------------ seems no Alice kuonji for me Edited May 24, 2013 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarQ Posted May 24, 2013 I got the "Sold Out" for Asuna at 20:30:04. That's 4 seconds after the sale start. How many items did they put in the shop: 1, 2 or 10???? I think it is disgusting making an event like this. Well, at least I can now save my money and spend it at a different doll maker. I also hope that Danny Choo will not use this stupid VOLKS Lottery/Online-Shop/slow & crashing Website when his Mirai is ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TASfaction Posted May 24, 2013 I also hope that Danny Choo will not use this stupid VOLKS Lottery/Online-Shop/slow & crashing Website when his Mirai is ready. Don't think Danny will use a lottery system. Probably a Pre-Order system hopefully. Looking back at Nendoroid Mirai, figma Mirai and other Mirai merchandise he gives everyone a chance to own Mirai merchandise. Licensed for distribution everywhere, no restriction. Stated in one of his post iirc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sechs Posted May 28, 2013 That would depend on how Volks decide who the lottery winners are. Is it an entirely random process or not? And how they process their database. Volks just needs to prepare some jokers when they proceed with the first lottery, that's all. They have experience so they should know that this sort of inconvenience happen. This event is just for buzz and raising hopes I payed with credit card but Volks didn't proceed the payment and my order status is "order". Should I worry and contact them ?
