Nice, I won 6/8 of the Eevee DX plush for 4000 yen. Pretty good because the full set tends to go for 10,000+ yen, from experience. Now I just have to get Vaporeon and Eevee (and probably the inevitable Sylveon, though it hasn't been released yet) and I'm set on those DX plush!

Ughhh, gotta do a big-ish order from Gin for the new Eevee goods, but of course everything comes out before I get my paycheck, so I'll have to order for her second run on those.

Ooh congrats =D I've ended up spending a small fortune on mine, meh. But! Not as much as I could have so oh well ^v^

And I share your pain - I was actually hoping the parcel with my grail lot would have arrived by now, so then I could have used the rest of your payment to partially cover the new Eevee/Sylveon stuff. Buuuut, thanks to customs, instead I've had to put it on credit card and grabbed several shifts of overtime at work to be assured I can cover the costs. As if that's not bad enough, I check ed the PC page today, and there's EVEN MORE adorable Sylveon/Eevee stuff coming out on the 8th, and a bunch of stuff. featuring Mewtwo *throws hands up in despair* I can't take any more ;_;

Yeah, I'm glad I waited on them! My general rule of thumb is that Banpresto stuff tends to stick around for quite a while/be not too hard to find, as does TOMY, but to pick up PokéCen stuff within a few weeks at most.

Ewww, customs. D: It sucks that it seems to have gotten stuck there! I wish they would hurry it up! But, at least it's nearly there.

Ughhhh, being an Eevee collector is despair since December! I'm not getting everything (because it's mostly the same art on things, so I just need one item from each similar group), but quite a bit, and I checked PokéCen's site and just...it feels like this is never going to end! But, I have to make it through! T___T It must be even crazier for you because of Mewtwo!

When I wished for more Umbreon stuff, an entire deluge of never-ending items was not what I had in mind. ^^;

That does seem a sensible approach to it tbh. My rule is generally anything Eevee = buy it now if you want it, before prices go up. But the BP promotion has taught me I can relax that rule a little C;

I think if it hasn't updated at all by Monday I'll see if I can contact them somehow. There's no way it should be taking this long before they've even considered charging it or not =/

It really is hard work ;_; I started skipping out on things a while back for the sake of my wallet and my sanity, but they're still bankrupting me :T I'm sort of debating whether or not to hold off on the Mewtwo stuff... I suspect it won't sell out anywhere near as fast as Sylveon. Heck, some of the merch from the 15th movie is still in the PC's lol, so I'd like to think I should be safe for a month or so. But I still get nervous delaying buying stuff as I've ended up regretting it countless times before now.

And yeah, haha. Clearly the PC/Banpresto/Tomy have never heard of the phrase regards 'too much of a good thing...' ^^;

Yeah, that's typically my reaction as well, but thankfully with Banpresto and TOMY, you typically have a little time. So, you can relax a bit on that front.

Good luck hunting it down! How annoying!

I'm getting really stressed about the Eevee items to be honest, especially today. T____T I think I've narrowed it down to what I most want, and will order, but it's just so never-ending and I always worry I'll miss out on something and then it'll be really hard to find. But, I just have to try and relax. I think a lot of the Eevee stuff will be around for a while because of the movie.

Seriously!
