Volks Hometown Dolpa Sendai *August 12, 2012*

Fran~ KL announced on Facebook that they would have lottery results by next week sometime...which means Volks will too. Hmmmm, still how does this work with AE? What are you entering for Fran????

 

I'm entering for my friends... :3 Hehehhe, not for myself. ^^

 

Yeah Fransyung....and I suppose you have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale too huh? LOL! I told myself that same story and ended up with my Smike (Yo-Isao).

Meanwhile, der hubbs tells me life's short, so seize the opportunity to enter purchase lottery for cranky little Yo dude! We needs more resin testosterone in de house, and aftermentioned Smike wants a partner in crime...uh, I mean a playmate of similar temperment...yeah that's the ticket!

Chanting for me, and everyone else entering...

Lucky Lucky So Happy!
Lucky Lucky So Wonderful!
Lucky Lucky So Fantastic!

Juli

 

Hooraya Juli! Bring him home! I would love to see a mini-warlord hanging out with Smike. Chibi Isaos do need partners-in-crime.

 

Ah...okay. Good luck anyway!!!!

 

Contributing to our luck:

Lucky Lucky So Happy!
Lucky Lucky So Wonderful!
Lucky Lucky So Fantastic!

 

Good luck to everyone... >.< I cringe looking at the prices at YJ... so I hope we all won what we entered for!

 

I'm gonna have to pass, but I chant for everyone else.

 

Gonna join in with the chanting in hopes that little Megohime will join my ever growing family

Lucky Lucky So Happy!
Lucky Lucky So Wonderful!
Lucky Lucky So Fantastic!

I also caved in finally and got myself one of those Koname bags, justo hoping I get a cute Megohime to put in it....

 

In case any one wanted to know. On KL's facebook page they will be sending out emails to the people that won tomorrow.

 

Whew, cutting it close to AE... (._.) then Volks USA would be late. We'll receive winner notifications together. By the way, has anyone noticed that the DDs would be shipped much, much later? O.o

 

Finally enterred for Hasekawa >_<, can't wait to see the result tomorrow.

 

Same here, funds just won't allow me to enter this time around. Good Luck everyone!

 

KL started sending out confirmations! x3

I got Hasekura~!

 

I wonder when Volks USA will send theirs out?

 

Congratulations, Abel~

 

Got my sakura DD !!~

Good luck to everyone !! I send good vibes their way!! *chant chant chant*

 

Thank you so much, Fran! x3
I was worried since I couldn't enter the VolksUSA lottery for him, I'm so relieved now!

Congrats Ten_ten!!

 

Yay!!! I won Hasekura and Rise glasses and the battle outfit!!!! Yay. The mantra worked!!!!

 

Thanks for your encouragement JennyN! I'm really loving the idea of these two little trouble makers, Smike and yet-to-be named Bontenmaru, together! Aren't you taking the plunge too? I felt sure you'd be reporting that your little rocker guy would have managed to sneak onto your computer and enter for him too! LOL!

Juli DC

 

Oh no ma'am... Bontenmaru is tempting, but (A) I can only have chibis if they're Tokyo Boys, and (B) my big-version Date Masamune is definitely the Highlander type of diva ("there can be only one"), so he would throw any mini-mes of himself out the window.

 

I understand, and sympathize with the Highlander mentality of your Date M, I have a certain Gene Marshall doll (Midnight Romance) like that who, when placed on an open display shelf with any dolls, would manage to literally shove them off the shelf. She would mysteriously remain upright, serenely above all the carnage upon her stand. For everyone's safety, I have her packed away at the moment...until I can give her a display space all her own. Have you considered quietly hiding your Date M's sword...just in case?! LOL!

Juli

 

Aww, congrats, Carmen! That was a huge win!! XD

 

Oh yes, congrats to Carmen and hooray for mantras!

 

Congrats everyone !!!

 

Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking, did you enter through Kerbey Lane or through the VolksUSA website?

 

Oh my god!

I just got an email from Volks

I won a Megohime

I'm stunned! Did they have alot to sell on the Lottery system or something?

This is the first time I've entered one so I wouldn't have any idea.

I'm just so surprised

 

Congrats! So it seems like Volks is already sending out winning notices. Really hope I'll get lucky. Entered for Miki and her school uniform.

 

whitewolf: Congrats! I think it's purely by luck as one of my friend won only lottery once for DD Sakuya, since then till now he has not won another lottery.

 

Thank you!!! I entered with Kerbey Lane!!!

 

Volks sent me an email saying I won the Miki Hoshii DDS and School Uniform
just paid for it, now to wait for it, YAY!!

 

Has anyone received an email from Volks Int winning Sakura?

 

I think all winners should receive e-mail by now for all winnings. Volks wrote notice of the winning results will be sent : from 16:00 until 18:00 on August 21 (Japan time). It is 7:22 PM there now so it is past the time.

 

I've received late emails from Volks lotteries before (about 4 hours late ^^"). Haven't seen any posts saying they won her yet so my hopes are still up :d

 

^You entered for her? Good luck to you. I rarely enter international AE ^^

 

Hello, somebody got mail from Volks USA?

 

I got an email from the International lottery, and I can't believe I won!! Well I guess the Chant really does work........wooot!!

I got Yo-SD Boy Bontenmaru.

Congrats to all the winners.

 

Whitewolf> Congratulations on your win!!

 

Sorry for the delay in reporting this: I won a Hasekura from Kerbey Lane!

So the international lottery has announced their winners... is there any word of when VolksUSA will announce?

 

I would like to ask for the DP outfits will it be lottery or we can just buy while stock last from volks jp? I am very interested in kimono suou...

 

I guess no one knows what's up with Volks USA.

 

Outfits are a clickwar, the day and time that they are available is posted on the AE site.

ETA: ....I totally didn't expect to win, because my luck is perfect only in the normal lottery, but Megohime will be arrowing towards my house. !!!

 

I think the chant worked because soon a little Megohime will be joining my crowd ^___^

 

Congrats to my friends who won! I can't wait to see your photos! ^^

 

Yay, Congrats to all the winners! I know there was a lot of disappointment at the last Dolpa. I hope Volks can full fill everyone's lottery wishes. Wouldn't that be nice?

 

Congrats to all the other winners!

So is that 3 little Megohime's so far?

 

I rarely utter this word....but this occassion calls for it...."SQUEEEEEE"!!!!! I won a cranky little warrior Yo dude!!!! Lucky-lucky! I feel both happy & fantastic now! LOL! Congrats to all the winners & my thanks to all those who chanted for me to win!

BTW, I don't know what time Volks Int'l sent it, but I just received it a few minutes before posting here, and I've been refreshing my email all day....so don't lose hope, and remember to check your SPAM folders and filters!

Awright Juli! That little guy will probably teach Smike how to make swords out of sticks, so, like, don't leave any sticks around the house. xD

And you HAVE to make him a onesie with that pattern. Peach bun!!

 

I second the request on the onesie! So Cute!

 

I didn't enter for anything, but congrats to all the winners!

 

Thanks for clarifying, congrats once again to your win~!

Seems like it, so far, it looks like only results from Kerbey Lane and the international lottery are in right now. Did you enter through them too? If so, best of luck to the both of us! I'm still clinging to hope that they haven't gotten around to contacting the VolksUSA winners yet.

 

Thanks for your kind congrats JennyN & Seditionary! I certainly will try my hand at making him that onesie! Just to see him crankily showing off his cute caboose, if nothing else! LOL! :lol

Meanwhile, I'm wondering if Volks Int'l Credit Card authorization system is down? I've tried a couple of times and get all the way to the last screen of authorization before it times out. I hate to pay the addition fee for using Paypal. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or is everyone paying through PP?

Juli DC

 

I used paypal and had no problems

 

Thanks Whitewolf, I ended up using Paypal too. I heard from Volks telling me there's nothing they can do to track the error message I'm getting through their CC processor NICOS, and advised me to contact my bank. But I have no idea what I'd tell the bank to do, so I bit the bullet and used Paypal...and paid the extra fee. Oh well, the most important thing is I'm getting my cranky little warrior dude afterall! Congrats on your win too Whitewolf!

Juli DC

 

I wonder why Rise's glasses is not lottery when it is lottery with Volks USA.

 

Would anyone be so kind as to point me towards an explanation of how After Events work? I am currently living in Japan and wondering whether I have a better chance of getting the dress I want by going to my local Tenshi no Sumika or staying home and ordering online.

 

for the after event, is it like volksusa where you have to completely check out with the item first to get it?

or is it, that once its in your cart its safe?

 

I did.

I haven't seen anyone mention winning an entry from VolksUSA yet, so we still have hope. Unless it's just a matter of no one on DoA having actually managed to win anything... Which I guess is possible, if not terribly likely. o_0

 

Tenshi-no-Sumika Closed for Updates since the 15th......
Maybe they haven't sent out winners yet.

 

I suspect that's the case. Their blog mentions being closed from the 15th to the 22nd, so maybe we'll hear something from them today or tomorrow.
