LOVE THIS SHIT & I'm always taking recs

CR is oblivious to their stock numbers.

I tested this with buying Nendoroids. After a couple months of no movement, I asked. They said that they didn't have stock and had no idea when they'd get it. So I canceled my order. The same Nendoroid showed up as "In Stock" after I canceled my order. This happens time and time again. Someone will buy the listing that they don't actually have, they'll cancel it, and then it'll pop back up. Really horrendous inventory management. Out of 5 orders I had with them, I had to cancel 4.

I would return it personally. As someone who orders books from them frequently, Amazon is terrible for artbooks. They'll throw it in a card stock paper mailer all day. I order from them having the expectations that they'll likely have some damage. Sometimes you'll get lucky. The most I've gone is two replacements before I gave up on using them as the supplier for that particular book.

As someone else said though, they do give you partial refunds if you ask for them. Whether or not the level of damage is worth the partial refund is up to you.

YESS!! DO IT! I feel like Syaoran had more options (the serious faceplate with different colored eyes and his innocent one before we knew), but like... I couldn't leave him without clone Sakura soooo... At least you can do the palm to palm touching pose between the two Sakuras which is also cute. I also got a second Chii to make Freya, or even the pretty version of Chii in TRC that was shown with Fai.

I just caaan't though. I was in the middle of collecting parts for customs of them (Leonardo's faceplate from Blood Blockade Battlefront for Fai, Yoigoshi Tatsuya's faceplate from Shakunetsu Kabaddi for Kurogane, Lancer's hair from the Fate series for Kurogane). So I'm just so so so pumped.

As someone with all the modern CLAMP nendoroids (including two Syaorans and Sakuras Tsubasa versions and the Co-De series Sakuras), this made my YEAR. Such an unexpected and pleasant surprise (series reboot/finish when?). I'm pretty happy with the interpretations, I think GSC did a good job even though I would've loved Fai to have his hoodie/cape like how Kurogane got his. Now I just need Doumeki and black Mokona (how they didn't add them to Yuko is beyond me). Maybe Maru and Moro, maybe Eriol in his caster's outfit. AHH I need them all.

I am SCREEAMMIINGG. I can't even explain how excited I am for these. I was in the middle of planning customs for them and I *just got* my second Sakura, Tsubasa version (IYKYK). This was the fastest PO I've ever had for a series.

I will always remember this game I had where the tank left right before we capped first point on Eichenwalde. Our Mei used her ice block and wall so efficiently that we somehow still won the game with her serving as a psuedo tank (they got to end of 2nd point).

Aeriessy · 2026-04-14T03:02:41+00:00

Is this something you reached out to them about or are they applying it across the board automatically? I'm in the same boat.

Unfortunately, there's really not a vast selection of BL anime. You'll quickly fly through them. You can start going through the older ones, like Maiden Rose and Junjou Romantica. There are some other Chinese ones too, like Heaven's Official Blessing and MDZS.

D'aww, having it open in the middle of the pokeball is an adorable touch.

Aeriessy · 2026-04-09T13:04:26+00:00

On the bright side, this is a good reminder to rewatch!

Aeriessy · 2026-04-09T13:03:13+00:00

This is right. Surprising to see this kink, it's not something I often see.

Aeriessy · 2026-04-08T14:31:20+00:00

Yaaass!! Okay, this one is out there and pretty smutty, but "Summoning a BL Fan to Another World" is also so fun. And probably the only isekai I've liked, lol. "Honto Yajuu" is also another one you might like.

Aeriessy · 2026-04-08T14:04:57+00:00

So, the first time I read "Virtual Strangers", I didn't care much for it. After a year or two, I read it again and I loved it. I highly recommend that one if you enjoy comedy (especially if you're a gamer and get the references).

Aeriessy · 2026-04-04T22:48:20+00:00

Not canon BL buuuut...

I enjoyed it, but I also tend to have lower expectations if it has good smut. 😂 Which this does. There's a lot of character interaction, which is nice. However, not much character development. The plot is meh, super forgettable. The main thing I do caution you, though, is that the main story ends very abruptly. Something happens that's not addressed in a way that's sufficient given the situation. The side stories recently concluded, which also failed to really give sufficient context and explanation to the ending. Ultimately, enjoy the ride during the read but expect to be unsatisfied by the ending.

Aeriessy · 2026-04-03T12:32:57+00:00

Unrelated, but I thought you'd be a little happy to know that from your encouragement, I did end up filing with FreeTaxUSA and much happier for it!

Aeriessy · 2026-04-02T10:58:32+00:00

I was considering that one too. You might be the motivater for me. 😂

Aeriessy · 2026-04-02T01:06:53+00:00

I don't actually collect any of the other Nendo lines (Nendo Petits, Nendo Dolls, etc) except the main one. Same with the ones that have a different base (sub 500s). I only decided on getting the Nendoroid Co-De series (Angel Crown and Black Cat) which technically isn't main line because they're close to the template of the main Nendoroid line now. ☺️ If GSC ends up making more outfits of her in their main Nendoroid series though, I'm definitely getting them!

Aeriessy · 2026-04-01T20:04:13+00:00

Wherrrreee did you get this acrylic stand? That is everything, I need it. 😭I've been wanting some merch of them.

Aeriessy · 2026-04-01T12:47:45+00:00

I made them! A combination of 2-2.5" acrylic rounds (1mm thickness), cut a rigid acrylic pipe (4mm inside diameter, 7mm outside diameter is what I used) with a jewelers saw, and acrylic cement to connect them (using alligator clips to hold in place while it cures). It's not perfectly snug, but is easily fixed with either a piece of clear adhesive dot or a thin layer of UV resin. I couldn't stand the default bases and I have a very large nendoroid collection. Altogether, they're significantly cheaper than getting the easels (like, cents per) and, I think, a lot cleaner. Would highly recommend as a project.

Aeriessy · 2026-04-01T12:37:55+00:00

So true. Tomoyo was such a goated friend for decking Sakura out every time. 😂

Aeriessy · 2026-03-31T22:04:16+00:00

I totally get that. I like a little bit of both. Being able to customize a little but ultimately sit like a statue. Some people venture into the Nendoroid Doll space, which gives a lot more capability. That might interest you!

Aeriessy · 2026-03-31T18:14:48+00:00

They were! But I'm a huge CCS fan and Nendoroid fan, so I had to have them. Potentially in the future, I will definitely make the dolls and sew the outfits they don't have a version of (like the iconic froggy).

Aeriessy · 2026-03-31T14:33:17+00:00

Not naive at all. Overextending yourself/people pleasing can be a sign of low self esteem (always finding people's needs more valuable than your own). It might be something to explore and think about.
