klein Posted April 20, 2012 Eeeep I'm in the second batch, I was just joking with someone about my Lucy potentially showing up from VolksUSA before both of the Sabers looks like she actually will now... not sure if I should laugh or cry at the moment My Flickr - Pullip_junk; For list of my DD see my profile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Innocentsake Posted April 20, 2012 Thankfully I had braced myself for this since I'm in the 2nd wave of pre-orders. I remember asking one of the girls at the store about it and being told that they thought the 1st wave would be maybe June and that the 2nd wave was... well she had no clue haha ^^;;; But at least all of you in the 1st wave now have a definite date for when your Sabers will arrive so that's something to be happy about I can't wait to see the pictures from all of you *o* I really thought I would see way more pictures of Saber Extra & Saber Alter from those who purchased through International, but haven't seen too many (at least not in the DD Flickr Group). Might have to go hunting for pictures hehe~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kumi Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Our split is probably in 2nd wave. Well, okay. Have to save for a body anyway. Maybe we will have a really nice X-mas gift Edited April 20, 2012 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Innocentsake Posted April 20, 2012 Maybe we will have a really nice X-mas gift Hopefully not that long Kumi! I'm hoping that maybe the 2nd wave will arrive in August/September. My husband jokes that if Saber arrives in September that Saber's birthday will be more important than his haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted April 20, 2012 Ah well. Even tho it hurts to hear this, at least my guesstimate of June was correct. Now that we have confirmation of Volks getting the Sabers in June, I'm betting they won't ship out from there until mid to late June. So that adds another 2 months and change to the wait. This is the longest I've ever had to wait when ordering ANYTHING. I know it sucks to continue waiting but I really am looking forward to getting Extra home. I already have 3-4 stories ready to go involving her. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoltFiend Posted April 20, 2012 I'm terrible and I haven't really thought about the two Sabers in a while I honestly don't mind, what's another two months? I'm used to waiting when it comes to this sort of thing. I've been waiting 4 years for Diablo III since it's official release announcement. XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billy Ah, yeah, I think your stories are one of the main reasons I'm looking forward to the first wave US shipments, since I didn't order anyone myself. Still, on the bright side this gives you extra time to do the stories setting up her introduction! In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser.

Still, on the bright side this gives you extra time to do the stories setting up her introduction! You flatter me! I'm happy you're interested in seeing my intro and subsequent stories with Saber. But since you have a bit of insight to a couple of them, I can see why you're wanting to see them. I'll do my best on setting up her arrival but it's going to have to be subtle. I don't want to give away the big reveal on her appearance at my place. I think THAT will be the clincher of her intro story. Come on JUNE!!

youth Posted April 20, 2012 Updated status regarding the first run is posted on VolksUSA website: First run is expected around June. Was hoping for the end of April but oh well. Oh well it's almost May & then it'll be June in no time. The only thing that irks me is that they already have your money while you wait months for product. Wish it would be like reputable shops here in the US where you pay when your item is shipped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps it was just random that they invited me to play the D3 beta. I got to download both clients tonight. Hopefully D3 is good since they've taken so long to make it.

baldylox Posted April 20, 2012 Ok, let me get this right. Volks says that any Saber orders before the number 24440 will be in the first wave and any after that will be in the second wave? Kumi said his order number was 24577 and I just checked mine and it's 24232. Does this mean that between my order and Kumi's order, there were 345 OTHER orders for Saber? Or are the order numbers mixed in with other Volks orders not concerning the Sabers? Because if these order numbers are in sequence and Saber related only, that is one HUGE amount of Sabers being shipped and made! Anyone have any ideas on this numbering system? I'm thinking these order numbers are just inline with any other day to day orders as well so there are way less Saber orders overall than the order numbers may suggest.

Galvatim Posted April 21, 2012 I think you're right, Billy. My Saber is order #24214, and about a week later, I places order # 24465, for the new Moe and Natsuki wigs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultimaknight Posted April 21, 2012 I am just disappointed because my order is so close to the cutoff and there is a possibility not all of those between 40 and 45 are all Saber orders. Their order system uses same number sequence for anything. So my order could be just right outside the cutoff >_< Also stings more because I was helping overseas friends get Sabers, and if I had placed my personal order first it would have been within that window for sure. I also paid my order in full up front in September. And from looks of it probably be August - September before I see my order. So Volks would have had my money for a whole year while I sit and wait. Oh well...nothing I can do about it but wait....

baldylox Posted April 21, 2012 Ahh, okay. It seems that Volks numbering system *is* for all their orders and not just for Sabers. That's good. I feel bad for you Ultimaknight, especially knowing you waited til later to make your order after other peoples. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

OtakuDepot Posted April 25, 2012 Ok, let me get this right. Volks says that any Saber orders before the number 24440 will be in the first wave and any after that will be in the second wave? It seems I got my order in just in time. I ordered both Sabers in order # 24430. I placed my order at about 10am on Sep. 28th. I hope there isn't much time between all the deliveries, I think we have all waited long enough!

carmen171 Posted April 25, 2012 I have two order numbers...for each doll. Example: for Saber Extra #24404 and #27507. Which number do I go by? The first number was from the day I placed the order and the second number was from when I finished paying. I'm assuming its the second number?
