AnimeXing…ugh.

Posted in rant, store review, tagged , on February 1, 2008| 22 Comments »

I am never going to use AnimeXing to pre-order figures again. Not only do they charge you right away (rather than when the item is ready to be shipped to you) but now they are telling me there is an issue with their distributer that might take “from a week to months” for the figure to come in, or even it might not come in at all! The stupid thing is that people already have this figure and I’ve seen it at another site too! The only reason I didn’t get it from the other site was because I had already put in my order from AnimeXing and I didn’t want to deal with changing it. I am so mad, because I’ve been waiting since the beginning of December and I really want this figure!!!

I’m waiting for this Shakugan no Shana one:

If anybody knows of other stores I can get it at, please comment and let me know. I really want this figure and I’m really annoyed at AnimeXing and don’t really want to do business with them after all this trouble…

UGH! (A Rant)

Posted in female figure, figures, rant on December 14, 2007| 8 Comments »

Apparently the Shana figure I ordered is a PRE-ORDER from the site I ordered it from. It won’t be in until my birthday (1/31), and I won’t be getting it until probably the week after! All this means is that I am going to satiate my desire to have a cool figure with something else. Which is lucky, because I still have to order Matt a Christmas present which is most likely going to be a figure too. I just wish that they charged my card when the pre-order arrived instead of now! WTH? I am assuming that this is a second run, because I understand that the Shana figure is pretty tough to find in stock. Luckily in my crazy brain half the fun is waiting! But yeah, I feel a little stupid for not noticing the pre-order notice. I guess I’ll just have to be more careful. I’d rather not pre-order it. But I guess it’s cheaper that way than getting it on eBay, and I’d rather deal with an actual store. So now I get to whine on this journal…but hey, it’s still on topic! 😛 Funny thing is that that is apparently what happened to Matt when he ordered my Christmas present, which will now end up being my birthday present (a To Heart 2 figure)! Bad luck with pre-orders for the both of us lol.

Now I have to think of something else to get, heh. I wish they hadn’t charged my card though, because it’s still like I’d be paying for the figure in January…but if I buy a figure for myself as well as one for Matt for Christmas then it’s like buying 3 figures. ARGH! I think I might just get Matt’s figure for now :'< (well, that really isn’t that sad….it’s pretty cool).

In better news (but it’s not really news), I have 2 pet figure lines that I am interested in collecting, but so far there isn’t really anything I want to buy from the lines! Those are Nendroids (we have a Haruhi one though) and Revoltech…specifically the Fraulein ones (I’m more interested in figures of girls than figures of robots).

I know that there is maybe like…one person reading this, but are there any suggestions as to cool looking, good quality models I should get?
