Mistakes

How many times can one order be stuffed up??

Towards the end of last year, my housemate and I placed an order through DDE, in that order was the following:
  1. 1 Pukifee Sweet Bunny Ante Fullset in WS with Sleeping face and faceup
  2. 1 Pukifee Alice Luna fullset WS with sleeping face and faceup
  3. 1 Pukifee Luna basic NS with sleeping face and faceup
As I was ordering during the event period, I asked for the MNF Chest piece in NS as my event item.

Then begins the stuff ups.

When the order arrived, they managed to send my Pukifee Luna NS without its faceup-ed sleeping face, but not only that, they had also sent the MNF Sword and Sheild in WS rather than my Chest piece.

I emailed them back and told them of their error. They proclaimed that my order had been the most stuffed up in the entire year and they would be able to get me both items. Did I want my chest piece mailed with my Pukifee Luna SP (which they had to ask Fairyland to make).

I replied no.

My MNF Chest piece in NS arrived a week or so later with no more hassle. Then I had to wait for my Nephthys' sleeping face.

And I waited.

I finally got an email that they had received and sent out the faceplate. I was very relieved, and waited for it to arrive.

Finally it did, and I happily unwrapped it. Then stopped. Stared... considered.



They had sent me a LittleFee faceplate (what I presumed was a Luna - as it was all wrapped in plastic and bubble wrap and I couldn't be stuffed opening it up). I emailed them again and asked (rather sarcastically) how they could have sent me a LittleFee faceplate rather than the Pukifee one I had ordered.

They claimed that it had been Fairyland that had stuffed up (after asking me to clarify my problem...???) I asked if I should send the LTF faceplate - they replied that I could keep it (although what for??) and they would attempt to get Fairyland to send my faceplate direct.

I finally got another email saying that it had been sent. As of this date, it has not arrived.

However, today I decided to open up the LTF faceplate bag so I could take some photos of it, in order to to sell it.

I took it out of the bag. I tore off the bubble wrap and peeled back the paper. And stared.

Turned it over, checked the back and showed my housemate.

What I had thought was a Luna LTF sleeping faceplate with faceup... was in fact an ANTE LittleFee faceplate with faceup.

I am wondering, how on earth did I get an ANTE, when I asked for the LUNA. I can kind of understand (with great difficultly) how I could get a LTF version of a PKF sculpt... but how the hell could Luna become Ante?

Is there someone somewhere, who had their Ante faceplate forgotten and got a Luna instead? Or did DDE and Fairyland just manage to stuff this up even more royally?

I wonder... should I await an Ante PKF sleeping faceplate? Or expect what I ordered in the first place??

- oh I simply want a Fairyland dealer this side of the Pacific who offers layby. PLEASE.

The Slow-down: 2016-2019

Wow. I used to collect a lot, and now, I don't do a lot of collecting at all. My collection has slowed to a crawl - some of it is prob...
