For me it’s like that, when I’ve waited too long, I probably don’t want the figure enough.
Indeed, these crazy delays really kill the mood for ordering the next pile of figures.
My 1-2 orders for the months of 2017 don’t bother me a lot. It’s mainly a bit unfortunate,
that November has many nice figures to be released and I would like to order exactly 1 one of them.

The good thing when writing these preorder posts is that it helps to sort my thoughts about what I really would like to have,
the result of this post is that I want the Koakuma Kanojo – Akuno Mika figure (⁄ ⁄^⁄ᗨ⁄^⁄ ⁄)

Hmm.. I still can’t make up my mind if I regret skipping on Kashima or not, hopefully I don’t otherwise it might turn into a very expensive regret. At least I can still pay a bit of a premium and get her from TOM. I’m also undecided with Shigure, such a nice looking figure. Soon enough November and December will make way and I can start planning next year’s pre-orders.

As for you, order Cyan, Anastasia and the Elf. Also may be Fu, you are right, she feels different, would be nice to get a closer look for sure.

In reply to Tier.

Yeah, I think the elf is a really good concept ^^
Japan really is something else with turning war into pop culture, for me especially as german the “glorification” of war machines is feeling odd,
as youngster I really liked all my scale tanks and choppers. No that I’m older I really feel more concerned about military in general.
Anyway looking at the world today, mankind learns nothing from the terror of past wars, so nothing changes with or without pop culture “glorification”. In the first place I like the Kancolle character designs and buy the less weaponized versions if possible lol.

Ah the usual harem formula, it’s been a while since I have watched those, recently I found more fun in reversed harem anime （⌒▽⌒ゞ.
Ahahaha, I can’t unsee the space that collecting demands, although if I really have to, I can sell figures I dont need anymore,
I still want to be an active collector that orders the latest pretty figures.

I think the only figure on your list that I am planning on ordering is the elf. I guess I’m not really a big Kantai Collection fan, though I did get FREEing’s version of that one submarine girl and I’ll get Max Factory’s Iowa, and maybe Amakuni’s. It probably shouldn’t bother me but something seems strange about making cute anime girl characters out of steel tombs in which tens of thousands of young men died screaming, burning, drowning, and having been torn into multiple pieces. I did watch a couple episodes of Date A Live; I didn’t think it was very good. It was the same crappy premise of a clueless, well-meaning guy paired up with clueless women who react violently whenever he tries to help them. I had thought about getting that one Tony-designed Miku figure and now that I’ve done that thinking, I’m not really sure I need any more Miku figures in my collection. As for my collection, I cope by completely denying that I have a problem. The shipping bill alone for my October figure order is like $150 …
