That totally sucks. D: Their response doesn't surprise me at all though, unfortunately. Luts' behavior to problems on their part for the past...while have been horrible. Maybe you'll be able to get one on the market? :3 I'm just glad I've never had a desire for a breakaway or else I think I would be really sad right now. D: I know I about spazzed when they released the elf els and lishes. Part of me wishes they would either stop re-releasing dolls that they said they would never re-release or just make them buyable all of the time. I can understand making maybe tan dolls limited or something because many companies cannot make them as easily, or like limited versions like in their 'art' section, but yeah...limiteds just suck, they leave so many people unhappy.
Yeah. It's always the limiteds that get us in the end. And really, the company doesn't profit from the limiteds, since it's the people selling them on the second-hand market who are getting all the profit. But I'll keep my eye out for one, maybe. And I know how you feel about the elves. I've been pining for an El elf for so long!
Oh god, I'm so sorry. I wish I'd known about this last night. I had a friend who got him and canceled the order earlier today because she was splitting it with somebody else and they BOTH somehow managed to get him. :(
Edit: She's getting the head(s?) and the other person's getting the body. It's for a particular character, and if it turns out that she gets the heads and he's not going to work for the character, I'll keep an eye out and let you know.
I wonder what they do with the cancelled orders? Does he go back into stock and some lucky person who happens to be trolling the site at that time gets him? Do they intentionally oversell knowing that people will cancel? Do they save them for people like me who whine on the Q&A board? (I can dream, can't I?) Thanks for the thought, and I am keeping an eye out for people reselling theirs, but I know that'll be a couple of months (since the lead time is 35-45 days without face-up on the website).
I have a feeling it probably goes back up on the website, but I could be wrong. I'd bet it's an automatic thing where the software changes it from 0 in stock to 1 in stock and somebody just gets lucky.
first off *big BIIIIIIG hug for you* That totally sucks. Ive been really dis-satisifed with alot of my recent purchases from doll companies. It makes me kind of glad that i buy mostly second hand. But its still a major poot!! I'm sure if you want we could put up a wtb via various people and we can find someone willing to part with theirs. ;_; id be willing to help if you think of anything. I know how much it sucks to have a doll you really want and then not being able to get them
( ... )
Dear lord Luts is sucking all over the place. This is really horrid, I'm so sorry they did this to you. They need a swift kick in the jewels for this one, it really bothers me that they are being like this. Between an error on a limited and all the mistakes I've been seeing them make on orders I am in no rush to order anything from them.
I hope something works out for you in the end, and I am really sorry couldn't get the doll...I'm also sorry about their incompetence.
Oh crap... that's downright nasty. *hugs* They should know how much dolls mean to people and NOT eff up on limited releases that people are fighting to get.
I'm really wishing I read this before I ordered Kurai... I just did it yesterday morning. Now I'm really worried.
Yeah. I'm over being angry and really just disappointed. I mean, not getting Breakaway isn't the end of the world, and I'm being the squeaky wheel over at the Q&A board, because I know people are canceling orders, so maybe they'll find one for me. Actually, need to go squeak some more, since my CC company says that payment went through.
