After a one month delay in September to October, Alter has just announced a second delay in the production of their beautiful figurine of Milla Maxwell hailing from Tales of Xillia. Her release date has now been pushed back into November. I do appreciate Alter's "We'll ship it when it's done" attitude. It shows to me again what I have known for years, Alter makes figurines that are of high quality and always have a great amount of detailing. They take pride in their work and want to maintain that reputation with their customers.

Really I am pleased as peaches that Alter is continuing to make wonderful Tales franchise figures and I will buy every one of them that I can! However this announcement came as a pleasant surprise for me because I already have Alter's Menma and EXIT TUNES Gumi shipping out this month. This delay will soften the hit on my wallet a bit and will open up more time in my schedule for other things. Still I have to admit that Mila is probably the figure that I am looking forward to most by the end of the year. I can't wait to see how she comes out! It's almost as if the extra delays have made me anticipate her more.

What do you think Tomopeeps? Does this delay bother you? Or is it nice for you? Let us know in the comments.
