writtenlullabye Posted August 10, 2013 Is there any trick to the "click war"? Last time I did it, I logged onto the site before it started but I was then locked out. The page wouldn't load at all and by the time it was back a lot of the stuff I wanted was already sold out. Is that normal? Is it just luck sometimes?

SakuraDreams Posted August 10, 2013 Is there any trick to the "click war"? Last time I did it, I logged onto the site before it started but I was then locked out. The page wouldn't load at all and by the time it was back a lot of the stuff I wanted was already sold out. Is that normal? Is it just luck sometimes? I think that's what happens unfortunately. Volks website becomes overwhelmed with both real fans/collectors and resellers/scalpers, hehe. I don't think a faster server would help as maybe the stuff would be sold out much faster. I think the page went dead or had some error during the actual inventory update process - when the items were added by Volks' webmaster. What I did last time was have a link in my desktop to log in, and then another to go to the product page. Then click add to cart, or whatever it was. But the server was slow, extremely slow. Adding to cart was slow too. I won my Alice im@s outfit but it was scary going. It took almost 45 min to check out as the checkout page kept timing out, but I had already added the item to my cart by then. The cart item is yours for 11 hours once it's in a logged in cart. But if not logged in, the item is yours for ? 30 min and no longer yours if your browser closes or crashes. I was also late by about 1-2 minutes as I fell asleep just before the click war and thankfully woke up 1-2 minutes after the items were released. For items which are out of stock, but not limited, I use this service: http://www.changedetection.com/ it saves me having to check the page every day. It sends me an email notification as soon as the page is updated, i.e. no longer out of stock. At home: DD Sakura Shinguji, DDS Yukiho Hagiwara, DD Asuna, DD Rina Ogata, DDS MOMO, DDS Ranko Kanzaki.

mangaemi Posted August 10, 2013 yeah that happens with a lot of websites - the servers are just overloaded. I've never dealt with a Volks clickwar, but done a clickwar for anime convention sites posting their Artist Alley applications - it's pretty much the same deal.. so many people hammering the site it can cause it to be extremely slow or just straight up over load it ♥ ★ ✮ ~ Amassing an army of Anime Cuties ~ ✮ ★ ♥ The Family: Sheryl, Ranka, Kirika, Arlex2, Yoko, Snow Miku, Haruka, Student Mariko, Prisma Illya, Akira, Maria, Cirno, Noumi, Asuna Titania, Sakuya on the way: want: Sailor Moon, Miki, Yukiho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crystaltiger Posted August 10, 2013 Is there any trick to the "click war"? Last time I did it, I logged onto the site before it started but I was then locked out. The page wouldn't load at all and by the time it was back a lot of the stuff I wanted was already sold out. Is that normal? Is it just luck sometimes? Best thing to do is get on ahead of time (about 15-20 mins) and stay signed into your account. Go to the page of the item that you want the most and refresh every few mins to make sure that Volks doesn't time you out of your account. Keep that up until its time to order and add to cart. Volks international usually lists the other items that are still up in the collection at the bottom of the page you are currently on with add to cart options for each. So you can add all of your things on one page. This has worked for me for all the click wars I've been in. Good Luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talolili Posted August 11, 2013 It is very flat, I suppose Volks will start making clothing suitable just for this bust soon. Maybe SS-S? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mangaemi Posted August 11, 2013 Arg if only it was a two piece torso... That's just too flat for me if I got Chihaya even if her character has a surfboard chest lol ♥ ★ ✮ ~ Amassing an army of Anime Cuties ~ ✮ ★ ♥ The Family: Sheryl, Ranka, Kirika, Arlex2, Yoko, Snow Miku, Haruka, Student Mariko, Prisma Illya, Akira, Maria, Cirno, Noumi, Asuna Titania, Sakuya on the way: want: Sailor Moon, Miki, Yukiho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nekota Posted August 11, 2013 That do look smaller then I imaging (based from the games & the anime...) Still my favorite idolm@ster girl and second to run is Rin shibuya. Both girls are having a great interesting history & personality And both have smile & size issue's... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWhiteRabbit Posted August 12, 2013 I think the SS looks fine really, sure it's flat, but it's a nice option to have. I think it looks really cute myself at first I thought it was a bit excessive, but turns out I like the look. If the girls can have giant boobs, why not super small ones! lol Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/WhiteRabbit887 Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/whiterabbitdolls?igsh=czQyZzRweG9hZDM2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milkbiscuit Posted August 12, 2013 Flat girls need love too :p but I really hope they make clothes that emphasize the flatness otherwise it's like, what's the point? It 's not noticeable.

Misheru Posted August 12, 2013 Poor Chihaya...she was never that small. 72-55-78 cm. 162 cm tall 41kg weight Appx 29-22-31 inches, almost 5' 4 in height and weighing 90 pounds Yes, slim...but not flat. She is young. 15 yrs. But she is not built like a child or a boy. She is technically the same size up top as Makoto, who is also athletically built. But anyone who has played the game knows they are far from flat. It takes away from the character, IMHO. Small bust would have been just fine. ~ ❥ Misheru...the *M* in H&M House of Vinyl ❥ ~ ℒℴѵℯ❤ ( ͒ ु•·̫• ू ͒) ˚₊✩‧ All your dolliehs are belong to us! ✩‧₊˚ ( ͒ ु•·̫• ू ͒) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yukamina Posted August 12, 2013 Personally I really like the flat chest too! I hope they release it as an option part for 2 piece torsos... Kinda wish people didn't think of smaller chests as a downside, though! My Etsy Shop ~~~ My DeviantArt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misheru Posted August 12, 2013 I love smaller chests on certain characters. I personally just don't think that an uber-flat chest was right for this character. She is a favorite of mine, so I am very particular about her. I like the torso being available now and it would work for a number of girls. Just not this one for me. ~ ❥ Misheru...the *M* in H&M House of Vinyl ❥ ~ ℒℴѵℯ❤ ( ͒ ु•·̫• ू ͒) ˚₊✩‧ All your dolliehs are belong to us! ✩‧₊˚ ( ͒ ु•·̫• ू ͒) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poofiemus Posted August 12, 2013 I have no clue about IM@S, so I can't comment how appropriate SS is for this particular character. However, I do still find it odd that this bust size first shows up on a DDS, and not an MDD where truly being flat as a washboard would make so much logical sense. In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misheru Posted August 12, 2013 I was thinking that myself when I looked at it. It would be very appropriate on the MDD. Small bust is perfect on the DDS for girls who are slim on top. That is just...sigh. ~ ❥ Misheru...the *M* in H&M House of Vinyl ❥ ~ ℒℴѵℯ❤ ( ͒ ु•·̫• ू ͒) ˚₊✩‧ All your dolliehs are belong to us! ✩‧₊˚ ( ͒ ु•·̫• ू ͒) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nekota Posted August 12, 2013 I guess always look at the bright side. Most cloths will fit her chest area without struggeling to put it on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Misheru Posted August 12, 2013 Actually most clothes will be too large/baggy on her and won't fit well at all. Plus, with a one-piece torso there is no chance of changing the bust piece. ~ ❥ Misheru...the *M* in H&M House of Vinyl ❥ ~ ℒℴѵℯ❤ ( ͒ ु•·̫• ू ͒) ˚₊✩‧ All your dolliehs are belong to us! ✩‧₊˚ ( ͒ ु•·̫• ू ͒) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misskale Posted August 12, 2013 Well, I'd think that obitsu 50cm stuff would fit her pretty easily. It looks like the 48's chest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
