Well I've decided to order from amazon Japan, then at least I've got more of a backout option to cancel than if I went with Ami.

Nooo, woke up to find mandarake cancellation email for Akagi nendo. 
The hunt continues!
Also, I recently discovered that this exists...
Also also, does anyone want a free figure? Just asking for a little shipping compensation. She's been in my closet for years so if someone actually wants her she'd be better off...
Edit: Also also also, World is Mine Miku for 7k on mandarake if someone was looking for it! http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1958309.html
That didn't take long.
Do it! Max Factory's Ignis was my first figure and I still really like it. I don't have either of those but I have seen them before and they are pretty impressive.

Change that to
- Eat an egg or two for breakfast, cheap and easy
- Pack/make your own lunches
- Ate ramen for dinner 1 night a week and the rest of the time make your own more balanced and affordable meals instead of eating out
- Switched to drinking only tap water

What are you waiting on?
Sigh, that's pretty much a good sign she's getting delayed again.
What are you waiting on? If it's not confirmed by the 20th, then yeah, all hope is lost.

Hmm that makes me curious. Need to do some research on my January order. I am hoping for a delay or two...to be honest.
Waiting on word for my scales....all Nendos seem to be confirmed for this month
Scales
Phat Satsuki - High probability of a delay
7th Dragon Samurai recolor
Dungeon Travelers 2 Ouritsu - Alter so...ya hopefully delayed

Super cute, but there's no way I have the space (or money) for a 1/4. Time to continue living vicariously through everyone else

AAAHHH YES they're going to sell this Edea plushie on SQEX JP e-store
http://store.jp.square-enix.com/category/BDFF2GOODS/MWBDFF004.html
The game sold extremely well and the in-game character models already lend themselves to nendos quite well. If Freedom Wars and God Eater can get nendos, so can this.

Got my payment request for Alter's Natsume Takashi Renewal early this morning. I'm honestly surprised it was only delayed 2 months from the initial release date. I'm so excited right now as I've mentioned in the thread prior that this is a remake of a figure I've wanted for such a long time now. I have no room on my shelves, but I'm making room specifically for this! Almost wish I didn't pick SAL, but it was about 1,000 yen cheaper so I won't be seeing him until probably the end of the month. It's something I can look forward to, at least!

Very awesome to get a figure you have been wanting for so long.
I was ecstatic when I finally got a order in for Momohime. She is one of those figures that if I ever get out of the hobby and sell she will be kept.

For meijiko if she's interested, needs a proxy service though:
If raising magical girls isn't enough, then transform yourself into one with these prosumer grade Card Captor Sakura cosplay accessories. I only wish that they shipped outside of Japan--and listed the measurements for the XL size...

Yeah I definitely have a feeling that if I ever decided to sell my collection, I'll be keeping this figure.
In Alter I trust.
Welp...incoming preorder.
same. I NEED HER O_O
I must have great timing. Literally got an email this morning regarding a month delay of the 1/4 Laura and Tatenashi. Thats like 300$ off my January order. Crisis averted!
Nooo, woke up to find mandarake cancellation email for Akagi nendo.
Aw.

You could always sell to me if you want to
Lol
Will keep that in mind but things would have to be going pretty bad for me to consider doing that.
At least she would have a good home if I did have to.
Eh, if they wanted to they would have released it already. All we got was that ugly collectors figure.

Did it come up for preorder recently or a while back? If a while back, maybe if there are extras and nearing the release date. Recently, then quite likely it'll be back. I take it you couldn't say no anymore to the one below ;P?

Another Natsume Yuujinchou fan =D:
Legitimately one of my favorite series ever, if not my absolute favorite! Got the LINE stickers the day I spotted them in the sticker shop. The art style is so nice and I love the characters. It's no wonder why I've been looking forward to Natsume's figure so much.

Yesssss, give me that official announcement so I can order Zestiria without guilt.

Woo, Nendoroid Haruna! (Not that it was unexpected - seeing that she's the remaining Kongou-class shipgirl left)

From Nagoya? My status still says checking inventory.

Paid for my Kirito SAO figma and my Lancelot, plus found out that a friend is a very, very nice person.
Yeah, I ordered from Nagoya on the 11th so apparently someone picked it up in person after the weekend. Your order may already be dead, too
Or you'll get lucky and whoever walked in and bought an Akagi nendo just happened to pick up the one I had ordered, leaving the one you ordered behind :|amishpriest99

I know, just teasing
I feel like I may just end up getting another ship girl nendo or two though...

Wow, AmiAmi finally refused my latest round of cancellation requests. You know what that means.
Heeeeeeeey Hobbysearch. How would you guys like some business?

Just fly to Japan and pick her up.

Ha! Enjoy paying 10% more!

Eh. On the other hand, I'm planning to buy a lot less. Saves me money in the long run. I'm at peace with this decision.
All the other stuff I really wanted (Himeji, Nanami, Michelle K. Davis, etc.) I pre-ordered elsewhere in advance because I knew this day would come.
Yeah. That one. I need her.

Thought about asking for some cancellation stuff but some of it is from this month and I have a feeling they will say no again lol. They haven't banned me obviously but the last two I sent they always hit me with "sorry we have already secured yours" even though the stuff was still up for order.

Didn't realize they were even starting to say no much at all. Guess they must be starting to clamp down a bit.
Yeah, as I found out in their email this morning. Oh well, if Chiaki's getting delayed it may not be that big of a deal.

Chiaki. Forever delayed.

"I'm sorry Acid08, but your Chiaki is in another castle month."
Haven't you cancelled nearly 30 items from them? It's no wonder they finally said now. They gave me grief when I cancelled GSC's Satsuki, but it's my last cancellation with them.
Also, I bought the 12k Alter Yukiko last night because I'm a tool. Does anyone here want the crappy Megahouse Yukiko?

That Chie and Mitsuru swimsuit figures are beach queens. Beach Queens are garbage. Small, overpriced, poor quality, most of us avoid them.

I have been stalking this thread for years... and I have kept out of the hobby. I have been good. I have stayed out of trouble...
Until now... Thanks a lot. Your a bad person. I hope you know you linking these pictures created an addict. When I am home, alone surrounded by awesome figures not able to eat because of my addiction it will be entirely on you.
This is my attempt at sticking my toe in the shallow end of the pool. I say this with the utmost respect... I hope I do not become as fiendish as some of you are in this hobby...
wow, I didn't think it was actually possible to get on their bad side. How often are you cancelling stuff, and what proportion of your the items you pre-order do you actually wind up buying?
