Atari stuff and winter holiday event looks great, and that’s about it…
I am seriously angry that we aren’t getting the Granzella Dreamy Beds, pajama sets, and Watchful Snowy Owl set until next year, after EU and Asia got them last week. That is a huge slap in the face to GZ fans in NA for the last update of the year. I don’t want freaking inner tubes and fried chicken!
Everything else has come here too late for me to care about, like Journey to the West, I no longer have interest in it over a month. Maybe I’ll pick up the biker jacket set, but again it’s been way over a month and I don’t have much interest anymore.
In any case, due to the lack of the Dreamy Beds and PJs until next year, I subsequently won’t be buying anything until next year…was ready to spend $100.00 or so…but whoever’s in charge just HAD to screw us over with the GZ stuff once again…so I’ll be spending my money elsewhere for the holidays.
Granzella decides when items get submitted and request when they come. We just aim to do as they wish.
