^^ Yup, there's a new one, with upgraded specs, added C-"stick"/slider and ZL/ZR buttons, Amiibo functionality, and no longer supports regular SD cards (to my chagrin... I mean, it's nice that they're using mini-SD cards that gets rid of the chance of accidentally popping the SD card slot out, but it seems more annoying to get that out and change since you have to take the system apart to get out, and I kind of like making a back-up folder on my PC just in case I have to delete data or save screenshots/etc.). I was going to hold off on getting the old 3DS XL if they were going to release a new pink one, but since there aren't any dedicated games at launch yet and no pink version, I can wait. I'll just have to buy Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and Fire Emblem when they come out, and wait until the new pink one comes out... :-P

If there was a way I could physically throw PMXe through a window, I would. (I'm so violent lately... first the laptop itself, now computer programs.) I'm just so used to the flexibility in editing I have when using Blender 3D... or rather spoiled by it, because it's a lot that could be done so much quicker and accurately in Blender. Unfortunately, I can't transfer those results into PMXe because I end up having to literally reconstruct the bone structure and all material textures, since the plugins that import/export MMD models in and out of Blender either rename them so they'd work in the program, or just don't import/export all the related data of the model properly.

It sucks, because I really want to fix up my IAx model edits and seek the permission to share them. It's the least I could do to share something VOCALOID related outside of covers/music, since I've decided not to release my own original model whenever I choose to complete her out of fear it'll eventually be misused by our friendly neighborhood pervs in the fandom. (And that is a saga in itself.)
