First post/Merry Fig-mas
Hi ^__^
I'm an 18 year old girl from England and I've been lurking around the boards for a while now and thought it was about time I made a post, after thinking long and hard about what to post about I couldn't come up with a thing ):!
That was until the post came, two big packages, one from HLJ and one from HobbySearch!! As i was drowning my sorrows by putting Ritsu together, mum came down and pointed out that everyday the postman comes is like Christmas to me, he's my santa! Thats when I decided to make my Christmas a very figure full one :) So for the next 4 1/2 months any parcels that come in the post will be opened by my brother to check everythings okay and then re-sealed and put into storage and wont come out again until Christmas day :) then it really will be an amazing day!
This will start from the 1st August until the 25th December >_<
it'll be horrible ):
but still...
^___^ yay!!
How many parcels do you think i'll end up with altogether?
And good or bad idea?
check me out on myfigurecollection!

Welcome to the site, I wouldn't be able to do it I hate waiting for anything to be shipped to me I'm very impatient, plus with the frequency of stuff I tend to get don't think would have room to store it.
also nice chibi Misuzu pic
hehe, im wondering where on earth im going to be storing it >_<!!
thankyou!
Welcome to figure.fm~
I couldn't do it, simply because I buy it to display in my room^^" also take pictures of the lovely goods I bought
good luck if you decide to follow through with it^^
i buy them to display aswell, but i'd like to try and fill a while display cabinet in one go :)!
I couldn't quite pick from those voting options, because it's not that I think it's a BAD idea or that I COULDN'T do it... I just wouldn't. ^^;
I'm wondering something: if every time the postman delivers a package of figures to you is like Christmas, why wouldn't you want to keep getting that excitement all throughout the year instead of piling it all up on actual Christmas, which is surely already like Christmas? It's an interesting idea though, let us know how it goes, one way or the other. And on the upside, if you usually choose to ship by EMS you could switch to Registered SAL to save on money, since time isn't an issue.
i won't say i won't miss opening parcels every few days, but its just an experiance i'd like to try ^___^ i want to fill a whole cabinet in one go :)! thankyou for the advice! but unfortunately i can never afford ems, so all my parcels come by SAL ): x
Welcome ^^
I think it's a good idea, but I wouldn't be able to do it myself ^^;; If you decide to stick with it, i really want to see your christmas loot xD
hehe ^__^ keep following the posts, im going to update with pictures of how many parcels i have every 2 weeks :)
I cant do it.... I just cant! T__T
but I wanna know Christmas loot.
you should try ^___^
*looks at my preorders list*
hmm, 59 figures before Christmas.. nope couldn't do it.
Anyway, welcome (not that I have ever done a post)
:O 59? i wish i had that many pre-orders before christmas!
Its not that many really, since it includes a few petit sets like Nanoha, Lucky Star X Street Fighter, etc etc. I was just looking at my MFC total.
WHAT?! 59 Pre-orders?! I got at least 20 before X-mas and thats way too much for me.
Nice & welcome to the party..As for me depend if i gonna buy my loots this X-mas but definitely..
Reminds me of how I always try to avoid eating my popcorn or candy at the movies until the trailers start, only on a much more dramatic scale. Popcorn I can manage, but not opening figures. . .That'd be so hard! Of course, the best way to pull it off with me would be to keep me from *ever* seeing the packages, because I sometimes have the memory of a goldfish and would quite likely forget they were coming. XD Actually, once my mom *did* tell me what I was getting for Christmas, but also told me to act surprised when I opened it for the sake of the rest of the family. We had a laugh over it later, though, because I actually was surprised, as I'd forgotten about it altogether!
haha!! you sound just like me! my brother showed me what he got for mum for christmas last year and i completely forgot and bought her the same thing >_< oops!!
First: Welcome to the community, it's pretty cool here.
Second: I couldn't do it, I'm too impatient to wait that long. But, you should have one helluva post here come late december!!
o.O
i sure hope so ^____^ no idea where im going to store all the boxes atm though!
Welcome to Figure.fm! I could never do what you're doing now. I swear I stalk the postman whenever I have something on order. XD
I know what you mean o.o When i buy something, I track my package every day.
so do i! its awful, im outside waiting for him when i see him walking up the road or the big parcel van pulling up!
welcome, :) I couldn't do it nooo, just for my birthday I kept talking my b/f into giving me some of my pressies (figures etc) early. ><
hehe :) i convinced my boyfriend to let me have a look at a figure hes got me for christmas yesterday :D!
I did that last Christmas.
fortunately the figs arrived about a month before, so it was all good ^_^.
but unfortunately I new where the packages were, so I would sneak up, open the box, drool over stuff, then put it away quickly when I thought someone was coming. I can't wait till Christmas xD
I could never do that. I would also be able to enjoy each figure less if I got them all at once. One or two at a time is perfect.
i think that'd usually be the case with me, but im attempting to do it so that i can fill a whole display cabinet in one go then i can admire them all :)
welcome to figure .fm , great idea you have there but i must ask do you have the will power to not open them also what part of England you from
thankyou :) i can tell already that i may crack and open one or two by christmas, boxes with what i expect is about 5 figures ): noooo! want to open them! im from the isle of wight :)
Wow, what an idea. I think I will try the same as well! But I will not start now. I still need to plan out all my finances and everything. I might start at Sep.
Good luck to you!
awesome! if you do decide to do the same then please let me know :) x
Ok, I will do the same. Except that I can only do so with the figures that isn't shipped with my friend's figures as well. And also if there's something that I REALLY want. ^ ^;
Let's do our best. ^ ^
