The morning always goes too quickly..
So I think I am going to skip out on the Tenshi no Sato event. I've been thinking about it and thinking about it and when it comes right down to it, dreading it. Yeah I could maybe get something there, but it will involve waking up at some awful hour and standing in line for hours, which is just really not overly appealing.
I'm not arguing Volks needs to change its practices. These methods work in Japan, in fact the Japanese almost seem to enjoy waiting in line to try to get something. Since arriving here on Thurs night I've seen people: waiting in line for a restaurant to open, waiting in line to buy some sort of sweet potato product in Tokyo Station, waiting in line for I think movie tickets and this does not even include line waiting for HaruComi or any of the circles there or any of the Pachinko Parlors I am sure people are waiting for.
But see with Haru, or SCC or even a Comiket, I know if I get up early enough in the morning chances are really high I *WILL* actually get what I want. I might wait in line for hours for something to start and then wait in line for a big circle once the event has started, but my chances of actually getting something are pretty high. I will be rewarded. This is not true at a Volks event. I never draw a good lottery # and instead I will spend hours waiting in line for naught except aggravation. Do I like the bamboo wings, yes, yes I do. Do I like them enough to wait 2-3 hours in line for maybe a chance to buy? My answer is a little less strong.
It also doesn't help that I will be getting up early to stand in a long line on Sunday.
Volks can keep their lottery practices and not revealing how large a release will be, and I have the option to not play.
I think I am going to take it.
