When I get home at the end of the day I usually don’t expect much, just the dog sitting by the door wagging his tail and maybe a few bills in the mail. Today I was surprised to find a small package waiting for me. It’s normal to find a package with a figure or some magazines/artbooks I’ve ordered every once in a while, but I always know that they’re coming so it’s no surprise. This package was totally unexpected, I had just received everything I’d ordered recently and as far as I know, none of my figure preorders have been released yet. The packaging also wasn’t familiar to me, it didn’t match the way things were packaged from stores I regularly buy from. Well, after a long day, my brain wasn’t functioning at capacity so it took me a while to think of doing the first thing most people would do (before examining the box): check to see who the sender was.

I just checked my email and found two emails from Otacute. The most recent one said my order had been cancelled. Wondering which of my orders it was refering to, I go back to my inbox and find an earlier email. This one said that there was a change in the reservation deadline and Otacute was not able to get the products in time. So what was this product that I ordered from Otacute, you ask?

That’s right, it’s Wave’s Aisaka Taiga China Dress figure. She’s an exclusive figure from dengikionline and preorders for her have been “out of stock” for months. This was the figure I was most looking forward to this year and now I’ll probably never get it. Words cannot describe how enraged I am right now. If I weren’t at work at this moment, I’d be smashing stuff to calm down.

Did anyone else order this figure through Otacute? Has your order been cancelled?
