LOL Amazing Surprise by MGA

Okay, before we start, two disclaimers.

first, my camera broke. By which I mean it works but the view screen is busted so I can't actually SEE what i'm photographing is in frame or not blurry or washed out till I get the photos up on my computer and by that point it's kinda too late to go back and do it again.

So, be aware some of these photos won't be up to my usual crappy standard but will actually be crappier. Some pics that would usually end up on the cutting room floor will need to be used and i'm SORRY!

secondly, this set is fricken HUGE and as a result there's gonna be a bajillion pictures and a lot to say.
this will be a long review so go pee now, grab a drink and come back.

you good?

we all settled?

strap in guys and girls, this is gonna be .. long.

MAN this order took a while to get here.

I preordered this girl on Oct12th via Amazon.

Now this was a gamble as last time I preordered with them they "forgot" to dispatch for like a week after stock appeared for next day delivery on the site so I was pretty pissed.

But the release date was SUPPOSED to be the 26th.

So the 26th came and went, still no stock.

I kept checking. Smyths came into stock briefly then went out of stock again.
Amazon still had no stock.

the 28th came and I finally got an email "your amazon order will be delivered today before 8pm!"
awesome, I thought. I'll wait in for it.

Oh I should have known. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

at 5pm after no courier showing up I got another email from Amazon. "we have been unable to obtain your order and don't know when more will be in stock."

so... what happened to "will be delivered today"?

So I got them on private chat to complain about this bullshittery. For bullshittery it certainly IS.
Waiting in for a parcel that never bloody existed because Amazon are a bunch of lying twits unable to manage their own damn preorder process. -_-

this is the third time they've fucked up a preorder for me. Yes, third.
I often wonder why I bother preordering with them when they seem to be utterly incompetent at it.

So Amazon gave me a £5 "sorry we lied to you and made you waste a day" voucher (BAH) and I cancelled the order as they had no idea when they'd get more stock (they still haven't) and Smyths DID have stock.

So I ordered via Smyths and it dispatched next day and arrived promptly the day after via Hermes (not my ideal choice of courier but oh well)

But FINALLY this meant my damn doll was here!

So after that damn rigmorale, let's see if she was worth the wait.

Ebay is dangerous

I mean seriously, I need to block it. It's too tempting.
