      Hello, this year shisukii and myself are in charge of the BJD section at Animania ^^
      We look forward to seeing everyone and hope you can join us.
      Please feel free to ask any questions.​
       
    2. I've ordered my tickets! Unfortunately my bank didn't allow the credit card online payment :(

      I'll have to pay a different way. Because today is the last day for the advance tickets, will I have to pay the presale price, or will I still get the advance price? Thanks, and sorry for the silly question.
       
    3. When did you place the order? As long as you can pay within 7 days from purchase, it should be fine.
       
    4. Cool, thanks. I placed the order yesterday.
       
    5. I hope things go well with your order. I look forward to seeing you and your doll/s!^^
       
    6. Looking forward to this! I'll see if I can wrangle something together for Best Dressed. I think I'll only be there on Saturday, at this stage. Which is a pity. I usually really enjoy Animania :)
       
    7. Please enter the competition if you can XD I look forward to seeing what you'll come up with ^^

      Awww, I see. I hope you will enjoy your time on Sat.
       
    8. I'm pretty bummed that I'm not going to be able to make it to Animania this year. I'm sure you guys are going to have an awesome time though. Be sure to take lots of pictures ^^
       
    9. Awww, there's always next year :D

      Yup, I'll take plenty of shots!
       
    10. Yes! something I can actually attend!
      I'd love to meet some people into the hobby and in/around my area!
       
    11. Awesome! I hope you can come ^^
      If you want to join any competitions, the deadline is Wed at midnight.

      If you're not really into viewing the other activities at the con, we have a table near the display so you can come chat with us.
       
    12. this is a cool thing :) i wish i could go T__T
       
    13. Put in my availabilities to work, got my tickets, all that's left is figuring out who to take with me.
      If you guys are fine to have me I might spend a bit hanging around and gushing at all the prettyness.
       
    14. I am going to be there on Saturday 22nd with my daughter. I will be the one carting around the orange n black check dollmore trunk carrier if anyone wants to say hi =^-^= Got my tickets all booked last week.
      Will be submitting my work by midnight Tuesday. Thanks for the extension on the dates for submission as Monday was a bit of a write-off for me. My bank account got skimmed over the weekend (lost close to $1000) so I was a bit of a wreck most of Monday trying to sort out what I needed to do to get by in the mean time whilst the bank investigates the issue. All I can say is at least I had enough cash out for the basics at the moment, and either way as I already booked my Animania tickets I will be there (just that I am sadly unlikely to have any spending money.)
       
    15. Sorry to here about your troubles! >< I hope the issue with your account is sorted out asap. Can't wait to see your entries ^^


      Maybe next time? >A<

      It's not a problem at all :) I think it's pretty common for bjd owners to mingle with each other at a con. I should be there most of the day & I'll be the person cosplaying with purple hair and a panda hat :XD:
       
    16. I have actually been trying to call Aurora Entertainment to try to cancel my tickets due to my financial circumstances. It could take up to a month for the bank to investigate the situation. In the mean time, here I am with my account in negative balance and school holidays about to start with 2 kids I won't be able to take anywhere or do anything with. Animania is now the last thing on my mind and, to be honest, all I am thinking about is trying to get my account back into positive figures.
       
    17. Sorry to read about your troubles, JenKat. I have no suggestions on how to get in touch with them unfortunately. :(

      Do we have a confirmed number of people on this thread that are going? I'll be there, but I'm currently in the 'deciding who to bring' phase. I want to pack my bag and prep for it this afternoon.

      Lesse...my two CP Delfs maybe? My Unidoll guy? Real Puki and Puki Puki? Decisions...
       
    18. Sorry to hear that JenKat :(, I hope you can get a refund!

      Which day is everyone going? I'm not sure if I should go saturday or sunday?
       
    19. I'm going Saturday only :)
       
    20. I'm sorry about your situation Jenkat. From my understanding, once a ticket is sold, there is no refund. Today was set-up, so everyone was really busy (I myself was there for 4 hours) but I hope you got a reply.
       
    21. That's terrible to hear Jenkat~
      I hope everything will be alright in the end~

      I will be there on Saturday afternoon, hopefully will be able to catch up with some people :)
       
    22. Oh Jenkat, that's horrible to hear :c Crossing fingers and toes and eyes and everything else that can be crossed that it will all turn out okay.

      I am actually going both days. I'm in my 'who to bring' stage, too (left it kind of late ^_^" ) My pretty boy who I have to dismantle to fit into his carry bag, my flower girl or my SD boy. Times like these that make me curse loving bigger sculpts over the smaller counterparts xD
       
    23. Thanks everyone for the sympathy.
      I did finally see in the fine print of Aurora Entertainment's "refund policy"...or no-refund policy is more like it:- "A change in personal circumstances does not entitle the ticket holder to return or exchange the ticket." (Peels of crazed laughter ensues after a particularly bad week).
      Ok, so one way or the other with my bank account in negative balance due to the account skimming I am really in no mood nor financially able to join you today. Instead I am looking at my dolls and doll related paraphernalia and sorting though who and what is going up on ebay next until my account is out of the red.

      Edit:- No sour grapes though. I still hope everyone who is going has a great time..,.have extra fun for me and congrats to those of you who end up as prize winners in the 3 comps. :kitty2
       
    24. AcidReign: If it is not too late, I would love to see your DZ flower girl :D
       
    25. Haha!!!! I just spent an hour bring paranoid and wrapping her in like 2kgs of padding for today! First time I'll be taking her out and so scared something will happen OAO.
       
    26. Yay! Lol I can't even begin to imagine how you would wrap her!
       
    27. I went yesterday and I had a fantastic time! I was lucky enough to win a lucky door prize! Yay! Shoes and socks for my Yo-SD! :D

      Thanks very much to the origanisers and sponsors! Your display was excellent and we had a fine contingent of volunteers there to help out and keep an eye on things! Really well done.

      I'm going to sort out my pictures, and if there's some good ones I'll throw 'em up in the Meetup Gallery section. :)
       
    28. Hey guys! Is there a photo thread for this event? It sounds like a loooot of fun :D
       
    29. Hi, I just want to thank everyone who brought their dolls to Animania and entered the competitions. It's not possible for it to run and be a success without you all. It was my first over to run it this year so I was nervous but I'm glad things ran pretty smoothly ^^'. I also want to give a big thanks to shisukii and my volunteers for helping me and for Mechakal bringing in her lovely horse and apple-pai for some props.

      I will start to edit all the photos soon, email you all in regards to Cherish points and post up the winning entries in the next few hours ^^
       
    30. I've posted a Meetups Gallery thread here. Please feel free to add your pictures! :)
