I can hardly sympathize. I saw it coming. I made a post years ago expressing my concern, and hordes of people started attacking me for criticizing their favorite company. Worse yet, it got me kicked off the Facebook group for "causing aggravation".
My intention wasn't to slander LIM. I value what they make, and I don't want to see them go. I tried to question their practice based on factuality, and challenged people to set a higher bar for how much they can tolerate from a company. I tried to signal a warning, and I got absolutely villified.
I wonder how many of those people then, are complaining about this now. This is the cost of their blind loyalty to a commetcial brand. They can go to hell with their whining.

Haha yeah that is insane
If some of us are lucky to live to a 100, a 5 year wait is like 5% of your life just waiting for a this figure
I think if some ppl paid this in full back then, its almost criminal, especially with false promises and little to no updates.

Ha! Well bc you can’t remember “Connor” and feel he’s a random android man doesn’t make it fact that no one else can. Sure he’s not as popular as Geralt and it’s more of a cult following - hence my niche description - my point was to illustrate that time doesn’t necessarily render something less desirable.
Also as stated I have my doubts as well, just simply answering your question if anyone was still waiting for it. I am, though I don’t know how to truly quantify that.

The thing is many people will have experienced a change in their life or their financial situation in 5 years. Like when you get a kid or your own house or are planning your wedding, it’s likely you stop collecting or don’t collect as much figures as you used to.
On top of that the game is turning 6 years old and there’s no hype around it anymore.
Even if Connor released tomorrow I’m willing to bet a large quantity of people who ordered him way back when don’t even want him. Ffs just cancel the whole thing and give people their money back. 5 years is insane.

We really should be asking ourselves. At what point in time is our money and our desire for this long overdue figure truly gone? How much longer can we wait?
Imagine if every company started doing this. At what point do we draw the line?
The 7 year mark? The 10 year mark?
This whole situation also made me realise there is no store policy for this at the retailors. At what point do we automatically get refunded by them if they just keep the status of the figures development in limbo? They are the first ever figure company to stretch the boundaries of pre-order this far.

You do realise that YOU can just ask the store you ordered from for a refund? The store won’t cancel it automatically.
I’m very certain that if you do that your woes will disappear for this figure(s) you barely want anymore. Are people so resistant to lose a $25-50 deposit?

I know I participated in this thread earlier as a collector, but I would like to be a moderator at this point and ask that people be civil to one another.
I still remember, that one of the guys from Lim first teased some renders of MGS 2 Snake in 2017 and nothing has transpired since then, except for more renders. So, it's technically the 7 year mark for that
.I get the impression that they've bit off more than they could chew, and would need to inevitably drop some projects in order to better manage their limited resources. As for deposits, it would be annoying if those were NRDs and couldn't be refunded either way.

I've already said this multiple times in other threads and topics, but it seems like 'toxic positivity' is a norm these days. Heaven forbid that buyers of a good complain about not getting the product years after when it was supposed to have released.
Don't be critical of anything. If you are being critical, you're just being a c*nt. Just be grateful for what you get. Standards? Expectations? What's that?
Not trying to be an arse but I'm sick of this "attitude" and way of thinking that has spread everywhere online. It only makes the minority who *do* whinge and moan for no reason, do so even louder and more obnoxiously.
I remember standing on the sidelines, seeing this behaviour and being absolutely puzzled. R_R_X's post that he made about people being "negative" and overly-critical to the company only added fuel to the fire, and since I didn't know any better I gave him/her the benefit of doubt. Now, I wonder what the hell R_R_X was talking about, because all I say for the figures that did get released was praise and love (with maybe 1-2 comments here and there of someone complaining).
The fact that it took 5 years to be able to have this kind of conversation is ******* appalling. The more I think about this, the worse it looks.
But no, how DARE you complain? How dare you expect anything more you entitled POS!
*Rant over*
