    I can confirm an email has gone out for the blue. Nice way to turn what has so far been a shitty week into an amazing one!

    wow - it's turning out great for people here!
    Cool that so many are getting these.

    Great news on the blue Jared! I'm still hoping I have some luck left too!
    Really excited for this new version of the stretch monster also.

    Yeah, I guess it will be another shot in the water for me, like for the 10th time now.

    Congrats to the lucky one though !

    Couldn't sleep & thought I'd check in here. So blue emails are going out already!? Nothing for me yet , but I guess there is still a small chance for later today. Good luck to everyone...

    Would have been nice to wake up to an email from HS this morning, joining everyone else who got one, but no such luck. Hope I end up getting a late one at some point! :)

    Just checked emails ... nothing. is it over or is there still hope? It's nightime in Japan ( 1am?), so maybe no more emails until late tonight?

    I'd say it's most likely that if you haven't heard by now you didn't win. I've applied for every lotto sense May of 2011 and have only got lucky once. There's a lot of BS in the hobby so the odds are not really that great...Even on a run of what 63-70?

    I hope the lotto's continue but I got a feeling that could change.

    @phantomfauna .. you are probably right (sigh).

    But HS did say emails for blue go out 19-20th. So maybe he just sent a few early ones , called it a night & went to bed. Still holding out hope he will send the last batch later this evening.... So I'm not ready to ( :cry: ) .. give up just yet.

    Seconded. I'm starting to think I'll have better luck hitting the Powerball, but that darn 'hope' keeps setting me a up for the letdown...

    Congrats to those who won this great toy in either color.

    I'll enter lottos, but I just assume I lost. I never get my hopes up. Doesn't mean I'm not excited. B/c I am. I'll keep entering them. You can't lose everytime, (well you can) do it long enough you will win. And savor that feeling when you do win:)

    When did you get the email? Last night / early this morning, or now? Just wondering if there's still hope.

    I received an email early this morning, I was double surprised - to win and getting the notice early according to the website.

    Thanks for the information. Edit !! = And just when I had given up & was discouraged at my 0-16 lottery record, I find out I'm really 1-15. Just got a winning email !! Can not believe it ....

    Cool to see so many people on the board winning, that increase of 70 figures over the normal 30 has really made a difference. This is without a doubt my favorite HxS figure so it's really cool to see the larger number on it. I hope the runs continue to increase in size, I think HxS could easily do runs of 100 without a loss in interest, and I'm sure it would help put an end to the flipping.
