Let's play the Song of Time on our ocarinas and travel back to late 2006 when collectible figure seller First 4 Figures announced a statue of the heroic Link of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time fame.  As a Link fan, I knew I had to have this piece of Nintendo memorabilia for my collection, so I preordered one.  Two and a half years later, I'm still waiting for the company to finish creating the damn thing.  This morning I received an e-mail updating me on Link's progress.  He's finally supposedly apparently really shipping in May.  Yes, May of this year.  I've thought about my preorder sporadically over the past few years and have considered canceling and getting my deposit back, but I've just never made the time to do it.  I've waited this long though, and I do still want the statue, so I'll see this through to the end and hope that by this time next month I'll have a displayable Link to showcase in my media room.
