Haha, too strong? Well, you get the gist of it.

Being bummed about not winning a lottery for a silly toy is one thing. But hearing how people manipulate/scheme/whatever to flip for profit, trade flip, take advantage of popular hype, while appreciate collectors get stuck is ultimately detrimental to this hobby that conceivably should be about enjoyment.

I am still for a lottery system, just tired of seeing this behaviour more and more among our small niche, especially the backroom shenanigans that go on, and in the face of all of the warnings that we (the international market) could be cut off from HS' sales.

Oh well, I'll stick to my cheap toys anyways.

Also the word of someone getting multiples is rumor. But like mentioned it sounds completely possible as it has for sure happened before.

I just wouldn't like to see this thread turn into a hissy fit. This BS happens, it's part of the hobby sadly.

Let's focus on the members who scored and will appreciate this beast :)

^^ Doesn't that describe about 78% of Skullbrain though? :wink: Haha, of course Rich. I didn't even enter this draw as I was hoping to lend better odds to deserving folks. (That is just to say that I am not whining or anything for having lost out. It's part of the hobby, and I recognise that)

Congratulations Joe! What a great win for you. I hope to see some more come along here soon too.

Congrats to Rich and the other folk who won.

When I entered I thought: this time is it! Then had a shitty day today and working thru the weekend, and thought: this will make up for it! But, no luck.

Holding out hope for later today (maybe?) or next time because this two header sculpt is too cool - especially in person as evidenced at NYCC in the Pus case.

Nice one, great news Rich. Congratulations! I definitely prefer the green myself too.

Bugger the secrecy associated with these toys - I just love it when someone is so happy to finally win a lottery and shares it with us. Great to see patience and diligence pay off too.

I lamely went & checked my inbox, even though I asked for the blue :oops: ...

But congrats on the win Rich! I guess your " weak " protest left the door open for good toy karma to walk right through.

@ultrakaiju = your "F-U" cat video post was great. First good laugh I've had in awhile. Thanks

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?
