We reported a month ago on the production of the second in Konami’s Beatmania bishoujo figure series, Hinazuki Lilina. With the October 8th preorder deadline that will determine her production status fast approaching, Konami has updated her product listing with a photo of the finished kit; they also note that as of today (October 6th) they have only recieved 1,727 of the 2,500 preorders necessary to trigger production of the figure. Will a shot of a pre-production prototype be enough to drum up 750+ preorders over the next two days? We’ll be keeping an eye on this. (no more)

Maybe if they’d open up pre-orders to foreigners they’d get the numbers needed but alas that wouldn’t happen in my lifetime.

She is actually available for preorder from Play Asia right now. I’m not sure if a preorder there would count toward the total in time for the cutoff deadline, but it might be worth a try. In the worst case scenario they’d just cancel the order, I guess. :/
Nice!
Well I did my part. Here’s crossing my fingers
Looks like they got all the needed orders!
Personally, I doubt opening the orders up to foreigners would make that big of a difference. Yes there are plenty of fans abroad, but I doubt it is enough since there are probably aren’t enough people that either 1) care to spend the money, 2) can navigate a Japanese website, 3) know about it anyway.
Such is life. :/
