Much like our March Loot, April’s haul was delayed by an odd error on AmiAmi’s end. So far, that’s three out of four months this year that they’ve managed to mess stuff up. If it weren’t for their fantastic price cuts, we’d be moving elsewhere… except, really, there’s nowhere else to go! Sadly, it seems like every online retailer has managed to mess up one of our orders in a rather spectacular fashion.
Order flubs aside, I found myself less excited for April’s order than previous months. Honestly, I’m not really sure why–maybe it’s because with all the delays, I kind of forgot what was going to be in it. So were we let down or were there some wonderful surprises in this month’s loot? Hit the jump to find out!

Sometimes you want a figure really bad and wait 6 months for the release, only to find out it’s been pushed back! For others delays are a blessing in disguise, especially if you find yourself running out of money for a particularly expensive month. But no matter what your opinions on delays are and how much (or how little) you collect, it’s something that ends up effecting all of us! So hit the jump to check out what goodies you will be getting this month and which ones you’ll have to wait a little bit more for.</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/ReleasesDelaysMarch2012Header.jpg "Release Dates & Delays for March 2012")
