    uhh..yeah..have to agree with 'bansheebot' on that one.

    I don't collect zollmen but that's immediately what I thought.

    Thanks 'bryce_r' (huh).

    <img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /> Hilarious!

    But really, you announced a lottery. Try to not do that type of thing for the rest of us who are not qualified enough to be on the special Lista Italia.

    Some agents sell figures that are sold via lotteries, or at events that still haven't happened, or even before they go up on sites. This doesn't mean that the rest of us can get them like they do. Only hell knows how they do it.
    And I have to agree with 'banshee' and 'bryce'. I'm not into people unveiling lotto releases.

    edit. Added the '''' and please note how I shortened the handles.

    'Axo', I think most agents just have good connections with a lot of producers, so they're able to offer stuff pretty quickly. But with that guarantee comes the price hike, of course.

    Yeah, I assume this... just think it's kinda fishy, is all.

    And still, we have the saying 'in closed mouths flies can't go in'. Sounds better in Spanish.

    The newest sale is not a lottery. It's a pre-order. The pre-order is open from Oct 6th to the 12th with payment due by Oct 12th at 3 pm Japan time.

    Right. But don't they all say that? Once they get a million applicants, a pre-order changes into a lottery. I guess time will tell, but I've never once seen an open run pre-order.

    I have to believe that it is a lottery. The last "pre-order" for the takemi ended up being a lottery.

    The last Zollmen open run was the recent mini set that medicom released.

    Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12

    It's a regular pre-order. That is why the order date is open for so long. It also states it in Japanese that it is a made to production order on the number of sales.

    When the sales is limited and becomes a lottery the orders are normally only open for a couple of days.

    Either it's a lottery and they closed it early and I got lucky, or it's a made-to-order pre-run. Because I already got a payment request.

    I was wondering about that. I'm also thinking the head is in two pieces(I don't think they could cast it in one).

    I was wondering the same thing.

    The teeth details and sharpness are pretty impressive... When I look at some sculpts i always wonder to which point it can be intricate and still working with casts requirements...

    Hope there's a surprise beneath !

    So now that the ordering page is shut, who actually ordered one and didn't get any confirmation ?

    With closer inspection, it looks like there's a split at the back of the jaw, that could circle up behind the horn.

    This was definitely a preorder and not a lottery. Since this was your first time ordering from Zollmen. I am guessing you didn't fill out the form properly or the email didn't go thru. Sorry hear that.

    Must be indeed a form problem to my opinion.
