Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 uhh..yeah..have to agree with 'bansheebot' on that one. I don't collect zollmen but that's immediately what I thought.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 dear bansheebot this is a fake lottery then! only in Italy, four people received emails for sale ... I can only imagine in america and japan ...I so totally innocent I posted what I believed to be for sale
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 Thanks 'bryce_r' (huh). <img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\"\" 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.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 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.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 '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.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 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.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 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.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 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.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 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.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 yes " baffi spaghetti mandolino"....italian maffia connected to Yakuza... maybe!? .....good luck whit your lottery
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 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.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 Got one too ! Don't know if it's huge, but shipping costs are higher than ever...
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 Dun think a pre order for this? This is my 1st time ordering direct from zollmen, I entered through the email link on their site but yet to receive any notification , or is there a secret email for this sorta thing
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 I wonder what is under that head? Looks like it pops off. I guess we will wait and see!
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 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).
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 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 !
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 Hmmm...I've always wondered if these would be used... Omake Smaller Head
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 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.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 you sure? Hi, Thank you for your order. =========================================== (BURSTRON) The price(including tax) 9,000yen Shipping(EMS) 3000 yen TOTAL 12000 yen =========================================== Your payment must be received by October 12 or your order will be automatically CANCELLED.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/3/12 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.
