No sign of mine yet either sadly, but they are probably being fondled by Customs awaiting me to eventually hand over a wodge of cash... well, I hope they've been shipped by now...

Ah! Thanks Steve.

If some people have not received their statues yet then having a contest with the pictures of the statues will not work. We''ll need to think of something else. Please let us know if you have any ideas or comments about the Valentine's contest and Series 2.

Mayhem and Chickrockguitar please let us know if you have not received a tracking number. You should have received one when it was shipped out a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks

Hello Rokutoys,

You could do one of those twitter / facebook contest where people tweet or update their status with a link to your website. Or you have them write a 140 characters or less review of your statues. I'm sure your staff could figure out a way to tie it into Valentine's Day. You can either pick randomly or have your staff vote. Not very creative but easy to track.

Or you can provide a picture of various statues on a blank background and ask people to photoshop or draw or create a Valentine's Day e-card using your images. I know my partner wouldn't really appreciate one but it could be funny.

Maybe I should leave the ideas to someone else.

Peace, maka

@contest

my idea was, to bring one of my statues to an interesting point here in the area. for Trier that would be the famous "Porta Nigra" and maybe young Usagi standing in front.

(People may look irritated at me, when doing the photo, but I don't care!)

so a world-wide galerie could be shown at your site.

good idea?

greetings,
Jens

Mine are at the local Parcelfarce depot awaiting collection Alex. I haven't escaped being taxed, but at least it's only 20 GBP. I was expecting higher, but I guess Roko marked the Customs down

I'll be collecting them some point tomorrow...

Hmm... might be becasue I assume you brought the full set? So, more weight and bigger box? Ah well, that's not too bad.

Got my statues, unpacked them all to make sure they were fine from the transit. Looking really, really good now I have my hands on them

Was a bit worried by the sound of a rattle from the Katsuichi box but it was just the bottle come slightly loose from its setting. Sadly I don't have a place to display them all currently, but I'm sure I will sort that out soon

Finally got around to getting some pictures (now that Valentines Day is over)....

I also ordered another Tomoe statue, this one for my niece. She just had her 10th birthday on Valentines day. A late birthday surprise for her.
