The reason they won't release the shinkis if the order number isn't met is because 2500 is probably a minimum run they can make a decent profit on.
but they would be losing money if they made the orders would they, it may not be a decent profit but money is money and they are with just current orders now making atleast a good amount, and they are selling altlene again on the site, and she failed as preorder, which is why im scepticle as to if they will cancel the pre-order

I have trouble trying to make out what you're saying but Atlene is canceled. Her order button has been removed from her page on Konamistyle and most likely anyone who has placed a pre-order has been notified that the orders are canceled.

Because money, that's why. It costs money to have extra figures just lying around in a warehouse. Production money, money to rent the space (which most places don't have lots of) and they're not getting any of that money back until the figure is sold off to a store or to a consumer.

It costs money to make figures, and they did want to release more but there wasn't enough interest. They might try again at a later date to get enough orders for her, but it's not worth it for them to make only a few extras since production costs aren't cheap.

Ahh! She will be my final purchase prior to the "future waves" because I don't know if I can continue buying these pretty things. ahh. ("future waves"--that is anything released after Gabline/Rengke) ..oh and I am a late bloomer with BSW.

Imagine the fanmade storylines these could bring! (I'm going to attempt another photocomic that will feature her!)

Yay Eukrante re-issue!
