So, like everyone else in the world I have fallen for Nanuri '07

*sighs dreamily*

But! Between being charged over $80 worth of overdraft fees to my account PLUS lending my best friend money to buy her dream head, Gomidoll Dreaming Iru, I am B.R.O.K.E. and stuck with less than a month to scrounge up enough money for this beautiful guy.


There are two plans

PLAN A consists of me needing about $600 while PLAN B consists of only about $400

PLAN A
I get a body
buy eyes
buy faceup
buy neck peice (cuz there's no way in hell I'm dealing with a Type 2 body. I hate the one touch system)

PROS:
Sebastian has a body so he'll be complete
CONS:
There's a chance they won't be able to give me a matching head for whatever reason
Its $200 more that I need to save up
Sebastian will be naked/borrowing my 70cm's too big clothes for a while
Sebastian will be bald

PLAN B
buy faceup
buy eyes
buy clothes for Sebastian
buy wig for Sebastian
buy boots for Sebastian
buy cute dress for one of my minis to put me over the 333 mark

PROS:
No matter what color head I get I can later get a matching body
$200 less that I need to save up
When Sebastian does get a body he'll have clothes
Sebastian will have hair
Mini gets cute outfit xP
Cons:
Sebastian will have no body for an indefinite amount of time
Resin might not match because of yellowing at my house and different batches
I might end up hating him because he'll be a loose head

Both plans consist of me working my butt off at work and selling a ton of crap on Ebay xD It really just depends on how much money I have when it comes down to the wire.

Right now I have $100. $50 worth of change that I've saved up for the past year and a half and another $50 in my bank account.

I'll put updates here as they come ^^ Please root for me!

EDIT: I'm up to $400! I'll give it another week and hope to hit the $600 mark because all the clothes I wanted are sold out -_-

Editedit: So I ordered him today! I didn't have enough to get him a wig, but I'll get him one and some clothes hopefully before he shows up or a little bit after. I'm so excited!!!

Hello!

I'm rooting for you and personally I'd go with plan B. Easier goal to reach = higher chance of reaching goal. I have a head coming and she won't have a body until maybe December if at all.

Either way I hope you get him!

Hmm I think Plan B sounds better
-nods-

Either way you can always do the whole Pay bit by bit thing. As long as you order the stuff during the event period and do the first payment within the week that you purchase it you should be fine.

I'd got with Plan B, plus I do believe Luts sells plush bodies for about 15 dollars or so, and you can dress them, so this way your boy can have a body and won't be just a floating head while you work up money for his real body. Just a thought.

Ahh! I forgot Luts does layaway! OMG heart Thank you! I can definitely do that.

Everyone else, thanks for your support!! I do hope I can get him in time.

Bump for this! I just ordered him and gave Luts my custom faceup directions. I'm a little worried because I asked for Blue-green eyeshadow and they tend to steer-clear of extravagant faceups, but I'll hope for the best ^^
