How is China getting them so fast?

"Third, Fugu for the fans in China. Raffle wins in the past going out to China have had an unexpectedly large "lost" rate either due to weirdness with Customs or incorrect addressing or some combination of the two. There has also been a rather large uptick in the total number of entries coming from the China KBD forums as well so in an effort to address and accommodate this I've partnered with Lunarisdream and respected big b0ss vendor Baiyang to run Fugu sales in China. These will run concurrent with the GH raffles which I will continue to run here. Caps and colorways will be identical (except Gold Bags!) and sales will generally be held very, very close to the same timing. What this means is that Fugu fans in China will have simpler, less expensive and vastly more reliable shipping options available to them. For everyone else, there will be no significant change."

Thanks, man. I thought it might be a proxy thing but didn't know about the losses.

Gen3 Fugus from China trading already:

(Attachment Link)

They must have had much higher limits for this person to get all 6 fugus, or they were traded, or...  =(

I'd kill for a White-Gold Tower Fugu and they're already trading it away, argh...! Q_Q

IKR?

This makes me sad when I couldnt even get one haha. bummer.

Sorry about the delay folks!! Ran out of a few supplies (read:boxes >.<)
 
But we're back on track and 99.9% of orders will be delivered to the post office tomorrow afternoon. For most domestic folks that should translate to a Monday delivery date.

Just checked my tracking info and it looks like I'm one of the boxless for now.

Probably only another 3 weeks till I get my hands on these wonderful caps.

Still faster than any other raffle I've been part of.

Nope, we're 100% shipped as of Thursday. Tacking might take a bit to update.

I actually did not heat-seal them this time. Oddly i received more than a few complaints that folks wanted to be able to keep the bags intact.  :blank:

Oh yeah, sorry I just opened the bag really slowly haha. Was to excited to just rip the bag open.

They're gorgeous artisans. Even my girlfriend enjoys looking at them, even though she doesn't like the hobby from a financial standpoint. Haha.

Congrats, bro! I'm at 0/6 ETF raffles

[hayt]

Thanks ETF! This picture doesn't do them justice, the detail is insane. I don't actually own any MX boards at the moment so I'm kinda torn, I might have to go out and buy one now to give these beauties a home

[romevi]

Freak yes. Crayon Dog better be one of your first colorways.

[UsualSuspectXXX]

Those are some god damn huge turtles!

[ArchDill]

Oh snap, new design?

[kaidaizhao]

TURTLES !?!?

[bbmathlvr]

Oh snap, new design?

I'm guessing the it's the return of the Half Shell, which we thought were extinct.

That's some solid logic, that is.

The half shell is rad. Exciting to think of a new ETF design though.

Edit: I am sure that is what it is. Fingers crosed for GMK terminal colors.

Decent haul, love the red spiked one especially!

Jealous of that puppet master. Has to be the nicest colorway of it, in my opinion.
