Good Smile Company's Saber Lily Avalon has been delayed...AGAIN photo

Fans of Saber must be patient, patient people. For the second time this year, Good Smile Company's Saber Lily Avalon has been pushed back another month. On Good Smile Company's site this morning, a page was put up announcing the decision. Instead of coming out next week, Saber Lily will now be released at the end of September. The reason behind the delay, as stated by GSC, was that demand was simply too high for the figure. Rather than skimp on quality to meet the demand, they're delaying it by a month.

The delay isn't that unexpected. The figure has been extremely popular, as noted by being on Rock the Charts for over a month. Though now seeing that the release is now expecting a September 30th date, what does that hold for other figures, namely Alter's own version of Saber Lily which is due out in October. For those of you who have pre-ordered, is the wait going to be worth it? Let us know in the comments.

GOD DAMMIT.

I'm actually not that fussed on the actual news of a delay but rather, that allthe delays are pushing my released closer together. One month, my account it going to be beaten to be a bloody pulp in one go instead of being beaten and then given a chance to recover!!!
That's true. The problem with delaying pre-orders is not the wait, it's that many people manage their pre-orders in order to be able to buy them... Perhaps figure companys should start accepting payments before the release in case of delays, huh.
delays are probably the most hardest thing about being a collector. You always expect to have something come in time but it's usually delayed. It's not GSC fault, there is a huge demand for Saber Lily Avalon in general.

Personally I didn't pre order her because I had a feeling this would happen and that there are just too many figures I'm waiting for released at the same time. Just imagining how many figures I have in September would make me broke.

That's starting to be a issue for me as well. If one more pre order gets push into Sep I may have to cancel one ; ; Which i really really don't wanna do. But I simply won't have enough in one month.
I don't mind if they delay it a year as long as the quality stays up. But I do feel like the delays are way more frequent and longer than a year ago =(
Every time I'm coming closer to get my Saber Lily it gets delayed, I feel like waiting for a Zelda game now... I ordered her on 01/24/2009, that's 8 month for a preorder. I'm still happy since I got her for 97$ and now she is 157$ at the same place.

Thanks for the news, now I won't wait at the mail box everyday at the end of august for my package to arrive.
