Nice score Rob!

Thanks man! :)
To be precise I sent my mail on the 23rd evening CET (early morning 24th in Japan).

Well I'm at a big zero for all lotteries at this point still.

Seems the people who got their emails in early are the ones who score.

O well next I suppose ....

I meant Japan time. I know someone who won sending it in late on the 2nd date, last minute too. I don't think it matters. I really think it's a 48 hour window.

My question is will there by a "Cyborg" version?

My email was sent a few minutes in to the 24th - didn't work for me :(
At least when he pulled the names out he didn't change the price to $500...

I enter the email Nag x CCM lotto. Didn't win. But winning this newest Mecha Gorilla-ju and receiving my Lotto Elegab Rainbow Mr X in the mail that day made up for the disappointment of not winning the Nag. :D

Can't believe CCM changed the price from $200 to $500. If they had called me I probably would've said wtf. But most likey still dished the cash for it, lol.

He said you'd hear by the 28th yeah? It's only the 27th now ( early hours of the morning ) so fingers crossed he is working his way through the winners slowly :P

Well hopefully he at least saved one to auction off...and donate a whopping 20% to charity of course.

Shipping date is the 28th. Hirota-san notifies the following day (26th) after he stops accepting email lotto submissions on the 25th Japan time. So if you haven't heard then you didn't win. Sorry.

I think a lot of time it gets lost in translation with google translator. What I interpret it to mean is the starting day of taking emails is the 24th and it ends on the 25th- Japan time. Obviously given the time difference if you emailed in the day, on the 23rd, from the US you'd be ok as it would already be the 24th in Japan. Hope that clears it up.

Yeah I can't wait to at least see more pics of this guy as I think it's the best one yet. Oh and for the record I emailed very early in the lottery period and lost, so it's not always the case of getting it in early.

Brown Mecha, Red Mecha, Blue Mecha, Blue Regular Gorilla (I think?) and this Grey Mecha have been the open overseas lotteries I think.

Was it? Looks like the same dates that've been posted since the start.

Yeah, more than anything I was confused around when to send in the mail as I remember something not too clear about both the 24th and 25th and wasn't sure on the translation, but I don't think the date changed.

hai semplicemente un gran culo rotto!!! :evil:

No thanks needed, I got my brown mecha. There was no way I was going to miss out on a technicality after winning it.

He would still be selling to us, I just helped make it easier through PayPal. Otherwise it would be set up as an international bank transfer.

On a side note, he reads/writes/speaks English very well, so if you tell him how much you love the toys with your lotto entries he is most likely reading all those.

Is his email address the same as lotteries? I ask because I used google translator to compose him a thank you email after allowing me to purchase the blue one and I wasn't sure if he ever got it.

I skrewed up big time and missed the deadline this time, this was definitely one of the best yet but i still prefer the brown one :D
I'm going to agree with Lixx about the pre-posting of lotteries, it has been a nono in the Zollmen thread so why not here.

The metallic blue on the red one is out of this world. I only assume the mint on the gray will stun. When he gets to doing a black though? Forget it, game over, minds blown. So sleek. I do wish there were some more normal Gorilla's now though.
