    OK, fine. Everyone go to google translate and make sense out of this:

    Take it easy, James is just trying to help, and you could show some patience and restraint towards people on the board if you expect to get it in return. You have to also understand how it might appear a bit unusual for several people to contact you about translating Hirota-san's message, and you then posting it. It is no big deal, but just try and get to know the ins and outs of the forum before jumping headfirst; it'll soften the reception of others if folks can tell you put in a bit of effort in the learning.

    I still really like the two headed guy, but now that I've gotten a better look at those spikes and bumps all over his body...I know I said I liked them earlier, but those bumps are making me itch. I imagine they have hair and teeth growing inside them. Very tumescent.

    The metal butt hatch is very interesting.

    I think that's just his domestic. I'm still holding out hope of a win. If anyone here know of any news please PM me.

    Some have already shipped!?? ... maybe I mis-understood his post, but I thought emails for dark green go out the 16th + ship 18-19th and the lt. blue emails go out 19-20 & ship on 23-24?? or is that just for international winners? thanks

    I'm not totally sure either, but I do know that Hirota ships really quickly once the lottery closes. I'm in California, and when I've been lucky enough to win I've gotten my package within one week.

    I really wanted the King Gorilla. It is by far my favorite HS creation to date.

    I wonder if there was a big difference between the # of people who asked for Green or Blue versions? I get the feeling more requested the blue one, so it should be harder to win than the green? Still holding out hope, but i've had no luck with lotteries so far....

    Yes .. i know there were 40 & 30, less of the green. What I meant was, you couldn't choose both. So if 150 people asked for the 30 green & 300 people asked for the 40 blue, wouldn't you have a better chance of getting a green one ? But if the same # of people asked for the green as well as the blue .. then it would be harder to win the green.

    It's hard to say. I really liked both and it was a tough decision. More people I talked to seemed to be after the blue. That might be partially because people liked it more, partially because there are 10 more to go around. Either way, any and all winners should be very happy. I'm still riding the high that this is an unpainted release. I know for most of you a painted release would be more ideal and hopefully it will come soon. It will be interesting to see how he paints this big guy.
