cfx Posted January 20, 2020 After the disappointment from the clickwar I'm trying to keep expectations in check but I'm hoping for better luck this time around. It was great to have a DD I voted for every day actually be one that got a rerelease; not so great if I can't get her after all. Price is lower than I expected as it seems based on the no-tax Japan price, while Volks USA seems to base outfit prices on the tax-included pricing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magique Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) edit: the link is back up. Ranko is $660. ^^ Edited January 20, 2020 by sweets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cfx Posted January 21, 2020 Mandarake is now selling her for 100,000 yen so I really hope I win the lottery. Not surprised as that's about the prices I see on Yahoo Japan as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeyondTime Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Reposting this, since the Volks USA site is having issues. Lottery Period: Acceptance from Feb 1st to Feb 10th, 2020 @4:00PM(PT) Results Announcement: By Feb 21st, 2020 @4:00PM(PT) Payment Due: By Feb 24th, 2020 @9:00AM(PT) Delivery Date: Sequentially delivered starting End of March, 2020 *Please note that this schedule is subject to change. Edited January 25, 2020 by BeyondTime The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be. “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cfx Posted January 25, 2020 I hope they get the website working in this next week, or delay the lottery, so that it's actually possible to enter. I can access the site from time to time, but even then only a page or two before it fails again so it's effectively impossible to actually place an order or anything.

Gabriel Posted January 29, 2020 Just a few more days! And then we can make our entries! And then two to three weeks after that, we get to either be disappointed or pay for the doll! And then at some point in March, Ranko will arrive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it's wait...and then wait...and then wait some more. At least Volks USA's website seems to be functional again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cfx Posted February 1, 2020 Reminder that the Ranko lottery starts tomorrow, February 1, and ends February 10 at 4PM PST. Somewhat annoyingly, Volks doesn't give a start time tomorrow. It's not a clickwar so it doesn't matter when you enter; I just want to do it early out of principle to show how much I want her, and so I absolutely know I won't forget.

cfx Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Lottery is now live. I submitted my entry. Now the 3 week wait begins. The confirmation email from Volks sez: Quote Your request has been accepted through the VOLKS USA webstore! Payment has not been processed at this time. Please wait for our Customer Service Representative to contact you so they can help you through the next step of your request. Is this what it's supposed to say? That last sentence seems odd to me.

In other words, wait until they send you the email in three weeks telling you that you won and giving you the link to add to the regular cart to complete and pay for the order.

I assumed maybe that was the case, but it's worded oddly for that, especially since the lottery rules that you are told repeatedly to read before entering explain the process, better. I've not entered the Volks USA lottery for a doll before. I've entered the outfit ones, but not enough times there to really remember what the emails say, but I didn't remember that particular message anyway.

I don't recall what previous lottery emails have said either, but there was nothing unusual for the lottery entry, so I'm pretty sure that's what the email meant. Nothing to do but hurry up and wait.

cfx Posted February 1, 2020 34 minutes ago, Gabriel said: It's Volks. Stuff is always worded awkwardly. True. Without knowing better, the email reads like "there was a problem with your submission; wait until we contact you about fixing it..." 35 minutes ago, Gabriel said: Nothing to do but hurry up and wait. In some way I felt like I should've waited longer to enter just so the wait between actually entering and the results wasn't so long. But then I'd have to worry about somehow forgetting or forgetting when the end date rolls around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
