I think M67 was talking about his Muk number, congrats on scoring Cupid #70 - I think there was quite a bit of competition for that one!

Definately MUK number, although if someone like to trade a Muk 70 the THE Cupid 70, I wouldn't complain.

Come on....

It's pumpkin

That's correct jaxx.

Do you know how many were made? I bet there are a few people still holding their breath for this one.

I've no idea. We rarely know numbers, but seeing the draw that one got, I'm not surprised that Jerry & Crew decided to make a few more. :thumbup:

Scored #22 and #10 on my first Ganza!

It's a Festivus miracle of epic proportions

No, no, no, .... no.

Never, ever say it's 'luck.'

Always claim superior skill.

It helps at the Trough.

Ahahh, so you did get that great duo after all :thumbup:. Great minds think alike. That's three of #23 reported already, two of #34, and 2+ of #70 and #22... I did figure there would be several of the ones with G10 or micarta handles.

Jaxx said:
Are these Muk numbers or Ganza score numbers?
Either way, congratulations!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Those were Ganza scores Jaxx.

Thanks for the congrats from everyone.

Anyone else score #21 (SAR6, lace wood) or #12 (SJTAC, G10/Maple)? I clocked in at 9:38:24, so either these were unpopular numbers -- in which case I'm glad to have poor taste in cutlery

-- or there's more than one of these.

Thought I wasn't going to get anything. This is a pleasant surprise!

Major Kong · Feb 28, 2011

I did much better than expected, much to the dismay of my wife. I scored a pumpkin Muk, a Gladius (#29), a Team Gemini (#30), a SAR 3 (#73) and a BWM (#27). For some impractical reason I can't wait to get my hands on the Gladius!

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS "POOR TASTE" WHEN IT COMES TO BUSSE...Nice Score!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks! Would like to have scored #70 as well (it was my #1) but, hey--not bad for my first Ganzaaa Op...:thumbup:

Man.....what a difference 9 seconds makes. I clocked in a 9:34:08 and went for #70 but didn't get it.

<sigh>

We keep trying to tell people this, but the lesson doesn't sink in.

Sorry to say, but the timestamp of your outbound email means NOTHING.

The ONLY thing that matters is the timestamp of when Busse's server receives your email. If the Interwebs end up routing your packets by way of Lower Slobovia, and that adds seconds to transit time, then you might well be SOL.

He said a miracle......quite different than luck.

It just may be that this gentleman was at his local pizza parlor grabbing a bite to eat after a nice workout at the gym. While paying for the pizza he realized that it was 10:45 p.m. and he had missed the Cupidganzaaa. He rushed to his car, to drive off the nearest bridge/cliff because the two Custom Shop Busse's he'd been dreaming about were gone..........but his car wouldn't start. All of the sudden, a bright light appeared and he was transported via worm hole to another dimension of time which he was able to place his order at 9:30:01 p.m. EST.........therefore scoring two super sweet blades.

That is not luck, it's a miracle.

You sir, are the only other person I have seen mention they got #73...........so there are at least two. Thanks for posting. :thumbup:

Amy emailed me saying I got Cupid #70 so either there are more than one or he is talking about his muk number.

I know Amy.

I was referring to TheBladeMaster sending his email 9 seconds before mine and scoring #70, while I did not. All is well though........I'm kinda glad I ended up with my second choice. :thumbup:
