There will be some planned downtime starting Wednesday, June 15th at 9am EDT. The board will be closed for approximately 12 to 24 hours while we work on migrating to a new forum software. For more information on the move, check out the Board Change Announcements thread.
I would just like to say that Rich cares a lot about getting his toys into people's hands. He does lotteries, web releases, gallery shows, comicons, rainy days, instagram contests, very few email sales, colabs, Medicom and Mandrake releases. He obsesses over the sculpts, production, paint apps, packaging and all the details, often to the point of seriously stressing himself out. If you think there is anything wrong with the way he does business, you can piss right off and I don't mind saying so. He wouldn't say that because he values his supporters and customers above all. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but try and keep it grounded in reality. This is something they do because they love it, no one is driving Maserattis because they created a sofubi toy. The toy makers that grew out of this community are pretty bad ass people who fought an uphill climb and I'm glad they do what they do. Just my boozy two cents.
Also... DAMN Bighead, sweet fucking lineup
second all of the above. rich goes above and beyond on every level and with every detail.
@Daimyo thanks

It's hard to keep up hope when you lose all of them. Never won a lottery from Paul Kaiju, MVH, Blobpus, I think I'm 0 for 20 or so. But I did win a COARSE lottery once for a worthless piece of crap that was damaged and incomplete. yay!
One day they say....when, when I'm 60? It's been 3 years.
not trying to rub it in or anything, but I have 9 ollies and only two of them are from lotto, and I didn't pay more than retail for any of them. persistence is key.
I just try not to be bummed when I lose lottos and remember theres plenty of toys in the world and other chances later to get the ones you miss.

I've haven't won a toy lottery yet, but I still count myself lucky, either having some luck at shows, or with a fast click on the online sales. It's pretty awesome that we have so many ways to collect these great toys, and that the artists keep upping their game.

Re: MVH Ollie, Enma & Berserker
@BHK: those two looks awesome!! show us more man, or should I post pics of your IG here for all of us to enjoy? .
How am I ever going to get my wants list of MVH down, when everyone and their mama has MVH on their Wanted thread. LOL
Exactly man. I am a teacher, which requires that I be there early and late. On my night off I go to my son's house and give him my full attention, and I have him every weekend. I miss releases because he is 8 and I'd rather be a good Dad than waste a precious Saturday waiting on a release. So unfortunately the only time I really get my hopes up is when there are lotteries. Anything good in a for sale thread is gone immediately.
Also, Rich did PM me. I'm not sure if he is going to hook me up with something or not, but he did at least reach out and say thanks for digging his brand and offered his condolences on not winning the lotto. I echo the fact that he goes far out of his way to say he appreciates his fans. That was indeed nice. Anyways, carry on..and someone hook me up with a bone Usir or a 6 eyed demon dammit!

Re: MVH Ollie, Enma & Berserker
I just blow funds on other stuff when Ollies pop up. Horrible timing on my part!

Re: MVH Ollie, Enma & Berserker
Quentor, I hope my tirade did not seem directed at you because it was not. I fully appreciate your frustrations and respect your perseverance. I have been lucky enough to win lotteries from several sought after makers but most of my MVH has come through purchase or trade. I have my fingers crossed for you on the next lotto. Hopefully those who won the latest Berserker will take plenty of photos because it looks fucking amazing from Rich's shots.

I always wish for the best of luck on others and always seem so unlucky myself. Maybe one day my karma will go crazy and I will a bunch of lottos in a row!
It's nice to see people stay upbeat when they lose, very good form!
STill waiting the Medicom Berserker shipping.... any news here ?
I know there was a huge delay at the factory with vinyl being pulled, so this has to have something to do with it. Hell I placed orders 4 months ago I still haven't seen yet.
Ill look into it and see what I can find.
But last news I got was they were being painted, this was 3 weeks ago. I got a shot of the factory test paint and its BETTER than the sample I sent over. Super bright and vibrant, so I'm positive they will be worth the wait. Sorry again.
