/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

how likely do you think AP USA will get the Freshly Picked Strawberries MTO? Dunno if I should just keep waiting or go to AP Paris to grab a pair of OTK

>>10443860
why is AP USA so slow when Paris has their game face on and their shit together?

>>10443860
It's already been announced on AP USA.

Starts tomorrow.

>>10443862
Because AP owns AP Paris whereas AP USA is a franchise, this was already discussed in the previous thread.

>>10443860
Currently posted on their site with no details, I'm guessing they'll update later today.

>>10443862
This has been covered in the past few weeks, but general consensus is that:
- AP US is a franchise and not owned by AP
- AP JP/Maki/Asuka love Paris and is directly owned by the company, so it makes sense as to why they get nicer things and faster turnaround on items, and have a reservation system
- AP US typically gets the last stock of the branches, or is saddled with things that don't sell, typically get only a few of each item in each colorway, if they get it at all

I sat and watched the Topping Heart jewelry sell out on the Paris site because I couldn't justify the horrible exchange rate and shipping price for a couple ounces of jewelry. I really like them, but I felt bad price-gouging myself.

My chances now rely on my SS and AP USA. But my SS seems to be able to get less of my requests recently, and AP USA is always a sad bloodbath where I can only pick one item to buy at every release.

>>10443868
>only a few of each item in each colorway, if they get it at all
Is it really true that AP doesn't get some items? I'm concerned they won't get any of the Ice Cream Parlor jewelry and that was my last hope. AP USA already announced the Ice Cream Parlor bunny headbands, but there was no mention of the jewelry, so I'm starting to worry. But I don't recall them not getting anything from a regular/general release.

>>10443746
I’m tired of all these Shibuya limited colors. The lavender was the best color.

>>10443868
>>10443863
Thanks, I didn't get any email or SMS notification about it, which is weird

How many unlimited MTOs does AP usually do in a year?

AP USA sent out their email of tomorrow’s releases. It’s gonna be a huge bloodbath.

>>10443930

Well the FPS is a MTO (that I presume is unlimited) and won't really "sell out" so ICP is the only real bloodbath and mostly just the jewelry. I'm still not sure if it's worth buying considering the poly but it's so cute...

>>10443938
There’s also the lyrical bunny lace wristcuffs. They’re not as fancy as the other ones but I’m sure they’ll still sell out in seconds.

>>10443930
Oh fuck. I guess this answers my question. Why did they have to put all of this together in one release? The whole site is going to crash.

>>10443941

Oh true. They are far less cute than the more expensive fancy ones...I personally think the solid pastel older simple lyrical bunny wristcuffs with colored lace were the cutest; I'd kill for a rerelease of those. These current ones are similar enough to the bunny pompom ones (white lace with colored accent and bunny motif) that I didn't even register them since I already own some of those.

I got my FPS in the Japan MTO. I was certain AP USA would get one too and was right but I prefer to split payments for things that I am not gonna be getting for a while so I like the paying only half upfront model Japan does. I heard payment plan options for MTOs exist for other stores but that it is more difficult? Not sure if that's true.

>>10443875
I think there's some things that sell out before AP US gets them/JP doesn't send stock. Only things I can think of that I've noticed in recent memory were:
- the Vintage Tulle hair piece
- Nighty Moon headbands
- Pure Crown ring (at least I only remember seeing the Crystal Berry jewelry)
- Neon Star Diner special set and cutsews
- iirc they never were sent CTP sets like the JP onlineshop and Paris did.

How does making multiple purchases on the ap USA store work again? I keep getting burned on having 2 things in my cart and getting neither if one is sold out

>>10444121
You really need to go for just one item.

>>10444123
Yeah seems so. Will they charge shipping for each item or consolidate after?

>>10444126
It costs $10 per order to combine orders, so it’s not worth it.

>>10444126
they charge flat rate for each purchase but don't refund the shipping difference

Can you save your credit card info on the AP USA site?

>>10444175

Idk but it'll autofill in Chrome if you allow that

tfw no gf dressed in AP

>>10444198
Aren't you that same dude that has a girlfriend and comes here to try and talk to lolitas?
Go away. It's weird as fuck.

>>10443879
Muuh has posted Shibuya specials on her page, chances she’s able to get those. Try and ask her.

Freshly Picked Strawberries is up on AP USA: http://www.angelicpretty-usa.com/shopping/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=468

>>10444295
Is it pay half now half later like AP JP?

>>10444339
iirc that system is used in Japan only.

>>10444295
>Delivery date September 2021
Wow I'm glad I went with an ss.

How did everyone do with today's release?

I'm so fucking happy I could cry. My boyfriend participated in the bloodbath release, and I wound up getting TWO of the pink Ice Cream Parlor necklaces (granted they are both confirmed and USPS doesn't lose them.)

I was having a shit week and this more than makes up for it.

>>10444504
Why do you need two?

>>10444507
I don't need two. We were refreshing at the same time to give us more chances of getting the necklace. I plan on giving the second to my friend, at retail cost.

>>10444502
Didn't get anything rip.

I went for the pink jewelry, had it in my cart, went to checkout, took too much time to enter my card info and by the time I went to the next page, I was taken out because the necklace was out of my cart.

I then went to try to get the mint jewelry because I wanted that at least, but didn't get it either...

I need to autofill my cc next time DX

>>10444502
I tried for the pink bunny headband and barely missed it, settled for the yellow with red bow. I'm pretty happy overall, I was worried I would get nothing.

>>10444502
I got everything I wanted, but that's most likely because I only went for the socks and the wrist cuffs. Kinda worried though because AP haven't sent me a confirmation email, but the orders show up in my Order History.

>>10444517
The confirmation email took literally 38 minutes for me. I think they manually confirm the orders, so it's delayed, especially with a big release like this.

>>10443941
almost all still in stock, funny. They're pretty cute I grabbed a pair and the same colors are still up so they must have gotten a bit of stock on these things.

>>10444523
Basically all of the Neon Diner jewelry is in stock too, much makes me laugh.

Anyone have a small heart attack when the yellow Ice Cream Parlor ring didn't show up on the accessories page? I thought they didn't receive any stock, but then I looked on the generic Ice Cream Parlor page and saw it.

>>10444523

They're also just less cute than most other AP bunny wristcuffs ehich was mentioned upthread, just saying...I wonder if in winter or fall they'll do bunny ear OTK or knee sock versions of those crew socks though. Then I'd buy for sure in a few colors.

I'm so glad I wanted nothing from this release (no use buying jewelry for a dress I don't want to own And I've already got a lyrical bunny ear headband or two); took a nap around noon today and woke up to see everything from ice cream parlor except the less popular OP colors sold out.

Kudos to AP USA for one major improvement that many people complained about previously though: they ACTUALLY leave the items up and have it say sold out now so people know when it's gone and don't refresh forever not knowing if the item has not yet been published or has been all bought. I'm pretty glad they made that improvement because it was a complaint from multiple people on the last two releases or so.

>>10444532
I would love something like these Fancy Paper Dolls socks again.

I feel dumb because I actually like the lyrical bunny wrist-cuffs this time around. Granted, I like the other pairs too. Maybe they were unpopular because of the white lace/colored lace combo? I'm gonna feel like an ita for wearing them now because they're so disliked.

>>10444537
I like these but idk, maybe being crafty is cheap and lame but like.... just make a bunch of bunny ear & bow clips and put them on your socks

Would writing to AP JP and/or USA about doing a Made to Order for the Ice Cream Parlor series possibly be successful since it is newer? I wanted the Pink JSK, necklace, and ring but missed out on all 3 multiple times now.

Since it already goes for so high second hand I wonder if they may consider it?

>>10444540
They never do MTOs on jewelry, and I doubt they'd do one over a print that's been released twice.

>>10444541
>what is honey cake jewelry being MTO
>what is holy lantern

>>10444537

For me the white lace and colored lace is the thing that made me not want them. I was close to buying the white or pastel colors but the red specifically looks weird with that combo to me.

Don't feel bad for wearing them anon! Something not being popular or selling out doesn't make it bad

>>10444538
>maybe being crafty is cheap and lame
the absolute state of modern lolita

>>10444532
>I'm so glad I wanted nothing from this release (no use buying jewelry for a dress I don't want to own

Honestly I'm not into Lyrical Bunny and Shy Bear stuff, but I really like this combo of muted pink, blue and vanilla. Gotta stay strong for some more fitting theme. But colors just look soo good.

>>10444557

Oh yeah I loved the print; I have just decided to avoid buying poly from AP these days until it starts to look less shiny. If it was cotton or just a matte polyester I'd be all over it.

>>10444560
Nayrt but I feel the same. I actually tried to get the JSK during the first release and failed. But now I'm happy I didn't waste my money on the polyester. I only wanted the jewelry because the rest of my wardrobe is tooth-rottingly sweet and I feel like ice cream is a pretty cute motif.

Does anyone have Sugar Candy Shop? I’m afraid I might have gotten a replica. The print is cutoff short at the very bottom—it’s actually not cutoff but the fabric is folded over for the seam, when you flip the fabric over you see the rest of the print.

The drippy apron is a mirror image of the ones I’ve seen in photos.

The ice cream lace looks good. If it’s a replica, would they have put in work to make the ice cream lace or would they have just used generic lace that looks similar?

I wondered if it’s a sample, but the care tag doesn’t say it’s a sample. Can anyone post the care tag if they have it?

I’ve never had a replica so I don’t know how much quality is put into AP replicas. The dress appears to be well made.

Thanks in advance.

>>10444587
I have the white JSK, so care tag number may be different!

>>10444587
Same anon, I just looked at some official twitter photos and I saw that the apron is reversed on some of the dresses but the opposite on others. So it’s really just the cutoff print at the bottom that’s questionable.

>>10444587
There isn't a known replica maker for this dress right now. The apron looks literally reversible if you move the bow to the other side...?

>>10444590
The care tags look identical except the item number and some Japanese words on the side with the extra buttons. Even the spacing is identical. Thanks so much!

>>10444593
Ok that’s good to know. Thank you!

>>10444594
Happy to help!

Apparently toy doll box just dropped. Ordered one colorway from Japan and one from the USA shop. Let's see which one arrives first.

>>10444913
Source? This has me hyped. I ordered with an SS for the MTO in Japan. Last I heard was the anon who said it might be delayed to August - September.

Where did you hear this? I'm hyped if it's true. I ordered with an SS for the MTO in Japan. Last I heard was the anon who said it might be delayed to August - September.

Is it me, or is the scalping getting worse lately? I know it’s always been bad but the amount of listings going up right after a release is insane.

>>10445034
It is, likely due to

1: OTT sweet, particularly AP sweet is making a revival

2: high rates of unemployment from the pandemic, people are trying to make a lot of money

>>10445036

If you can afford to buy large quantities of frequent new brand releases first-hand and wait long periods of time for people to purchase your overpriced listings, you must not be hurting for cash that much? I don't believe the lie that scalpers are poor and desperate for cash because of that.

>>10445067
I guess you have a point, I was thinking more about people selling old AP dresses for crazy high numbers.
I'm sure the other types of scalpers are just taking advantage of other people's quarantine boredom and the AP trend.

>>10445068
Considering many older dresses/items that have been going for high prices had bidding that drove the price up or they were bought quickly, that means it's just the demand? That's not the same thing as scalping, anon. Scalping is buying an item and then flipping it for a much higher price.

>>10444913
Source, pretty please?

>>10445343

I think by dropped they mean the MTO was shipped out?

>>10445345
Yeah I was wondering how they knew it was shipped out. I haven't heard anything about others getting contacted about their orders.

>>10445034
Don’t know about scalping but the bidding is getting insane, there would be at least a BIN price a while ago but now people are only listing for bids

From the rufflechat "status" pieces thread.

Do people really think Holy Lantern is a "wow they own that?!" type of piece? HL has been released so many times it's a meme. I just kind of laugh if I see someone wearing it.

>>10445448
Usakumyas aren’t expensive, and they’re easy to get. This person is just a moron.

>>10445448
I agree that DDC can be considered a status piece but Misty Sky and Holy Lantern had both MTOs and re-releases. However I still think CTP holds its value as a status piece, albeit not as high of a status since it too had a MTO and re-release.

To keep the discussion going, what would you consider to be status pieces from AP?

>>10445448
DDC was like, my first ever brand dress. It might've been more of a status piece in 2014 or 2015, but not really now.

>>10445453
Ugh I also thought that was pretty stupid to say. Usakumyas show up all the time on CC and it's really easy to get them if you just look for them. Ten of them would be like owning one pony bag from AP.

>>10445458
Honestly I think a lot of accessories can be status pieces over dresses. I was surprised at how many people were focusing on main pieces and not bags/jewelry etc. To me accessories are harder to obtain because they're more easily broken/lost/worn out.

>>10445461
I agree, jewelry is much harder to find. Someone mentioned the Fantasy Giraffe jewelry and I’ve coveted that forever, but I’ve also accepted that unless the impossible happens and AP does a rerelease I’ll never get it.

>>10445465
I feel that in my core, anon. I love a lot of old AP jewelry that just seems like a pipedream. I think the Melty-Kun necklace is my ultimate "status" piece on my wishlist. At this point in my wardrobe, I'm more stressed about obtaining accessories than main pieces.

>>10445448
I finally left that group. It’s shit and over run by Lolita’s a heart and noob itas. This just reaffirms that I did the right choice.

>>10445448
looks like they got "status piece" and "iconic"/"cult classic" mixed.

>>10444295
Would it be weird to MTO only the socks, or do they not give a fuck since it's not limited? I love strawberries, but I don't have $300 worth of fun money right now. I already did a huge haul just recently.

>>10445477
AP does not care. I only got the tights for the Wrapping Heart MTO. Go for it.

>>10445477
I asked them for a PP on the jsk and they gave it to me but they also asked me if I wanted the headbow and socks so I guess they want to sell it. You should be fine just buying that.

>>10444941
my ss just contacted me saying it was ready.

>>10445486
Thanks! I'm going to check with my SS now and see if they have heard anything. I want to combine it with my order I already have going with them.

>>10445486
I'm >>10445492 and my SS just picked up my JSK and Hanikami headband! I'm so excited! What colorway did you get anon? I got the sax JSK.

>>10443746

If anyone needs money and got the Toy Doll Box MTO but wants to sell it for retail now in pink or mint please email me! And congrats to all the anons that will have theirs soon!

>>10444295
has it been determined whether it's cotton or poly yet?

>>10445683
it says right on the product page.

>>10445689
You could have answered the question kek

>>10445702
stop bawwing to be spoonfed. or are you too retarded to just click the link?

>>10445689
thank you, sorry about that

>>10445718
not the anon you replied to originally but it doesn't hurt to answer people's questions?

>>10445683
Original Burberry Print (100% cotton) Polka Dot Broad (100% cotton)
Lace: Cotton Lace Synthetic lace

Last week of Long Bazar is starting tomorrow. Any predictions for upcoming stuff?

>>10445795
This made me laugh, thanks anon.

Not really sure what may happen, but I'm thinking:
- Ice Cream Parlor special set
- Sweetie Ribbon special set
- MTO for the $1000+ fashion show dresses
- MTO of Dream Sky, Milky Planet, or Sugary Carnival

>>10445795
Misty Sky Oversaturated Market Edition, Dream Marine, Melody Toys or Holy Lantern MTOs again, and the most reused special sets from the past few years.

>>10445801
>MTO of Dream Sky, Milky Planet, or Sugary Carnival
PLEASE

>>10445795
Long Bazar has been absolutely shit so it'll probably be 40% off the Dream Cat Go Round and mermaid Kira Imai prints

>>10445831

Imai Kira has fallen from grace for me...her art is still so beautiful but I'd rather buy her prints and personal releases than her AP collabs. They're always so grey and sad and AP has ruined her for me on any new dresses unless they are cotton and extremely well designed in the future.

>>10445801
What colors do you think the ICP special set would be? I’d love a lavender.

>>10445751
I'm the OP of the question, and the original answer is actually very useful because of the whole teach a man to fish thing.

>>10445812
Dream Sky seems like most likely, Milky Planet and Sugary Carnival probably not. But you never know.

>>10445869
This was a post on Candy's Twitter awhile back but it's a good chance it would be mint/dark pink:
https://twitter.com/AP_Candy_/status/1266672821024874496?s=20

>>10445498
I bought the mint version through my ss with the headband and the pink jsk through ap usa

>>10445869
I saw ICP as i was scrolling past and legit thought this was about Insane Clown Possee

>>10445900
hnnnnng

>>10445869
I'd like to politely request we all stop fucking calling it ICP

>>10445997
then what?

>>10443746

So many people reselling you doll box salopette on fril. Seems lile no one likes the sax as it is not selling as much as the other colors though pink and mint are up there too. Wish it was the pink or mint JSK; the prices weren't actually that crazy, but those listings sold out right away...

>>10445992
Right? I love hot pink so I'm all about it

>>10445997
This is a beautiful image and imo from now on it should only be referred to as ICP.

>>10446139

The hot pink color looks like it'll be cute but I was so hoping for a Lav x pink. Maybe they're saving it for a location specific release like they sometimes do...if we're all lucky they will do a MTO with jewelry

Dolly Heart close up.

>>10446144
Lav x pink would be super cute! Guess we'll just have to wait for now. If they did a jewelry MTO that would be great! I know a lot of anons missed out

>>10446154
Stained and are those pulls in the fabric already? Yikes. Shame as it's such a cute print but I'm gonna pass on it

>>10446154
Seeing this right after the old school thread with its lush fabrics and lace is just depressing. How does anyone pay (a lot of) money for this plastic garbage?

>>10446184
I hate poly just as much as everyone else, but where are the pulls? I'm zooming in and all I see is bad stitching?

>>10446214
Nayrt but I think they mean here?

Its a shame cause the print is so cute.

>>10446214
>>10446218
Look, the picture seems to be taken in the bathroom. That girl could get some drops on her dress from hand washing. I guess they tend to make these long-ish stains on poly.

>>10445997
kek beautiful

>>10446218
Thanks anon for circling, yes that's what stood out to me.

>>10446220
Even still, yikes. Also, that puckering. Overall awful quality

>>10446154
Shit, is this how far AP has gone? Just two years ago I got Vintage Marine and its quality was 10x better than this.

>>10445448
Also I have an AP pony bag and I got it on fril for like $30.

>>10446622
Real subtle of you, anon

>>10446622
Me too, but that was 1-2 years ago.

So if you got one for $30 now, it was either one of the sucky colors or your SS swiped it very, very fast. The most recent pony bag I bought was $180.

In general I don't think the pony bags are status pieces though? They aren't rare, they're just hard to get now because the price wars and competition.

>>10446144
>>10446184
I would love a lavender colorway, but it wouldn’t have jewelry to match it.

>>10446687
The pink would match

>>10446688
The yellow in the pink colorway would stand out, but it’s fine if you’re not worried about that.

>>10446689
Never mind I forgot that lyrical bunny is in it

>>10446139
same. i really wish brands would do more hot pink.

Idk guys, this is cute

>>10446863
Color combo is pretty refreshing

>>10446864
It hurts because I want so much to like it but this is just bad.

>>10444538
You have 2 brain cells left to rub together, it's not a bad thing. As long as your handmade accessories look good there's nothing wrong with it. Paying $40 for something you could do for $10 is just stupid, particularly on items like novelty socks. You can reuse bunny clips on lots of different socks and still have the base socks. Big brain.

>>10445448
HL was kind of a status symbol like 6 or 7 years ago, but with so many rereleases it definitely isn't anymore.

>>10446863
It just looks so much like that Chess Story queen of hearts skirt they dropped many years ago. Different colors, but like, the fabric looked nicer on the $30 taobao skirt.

>>10445795
So I guess it was a nothingburger huh

>>10447362
I think there going to be something since they announced LB to continue till 07.31, but I don't really expect MTO. It's only two days left, too little for MTO ordering.

>>10447516
This is really disappointing still.

>>10446126
I noticed this too. Why just the salopettes all of a sudden? I know it's because people are getting the MTO, but I wonder if they ordered it from the MTO or got it from the original release and realized that salopettes suck? It's just a bit weird.

>>10446220
It was taken in a bathroom which is just sad

>>10447774

The only non salopette currently is the ivory which based on how the red color for ICP went is probably only available because it is a less desirable color for this type of print. Even so, only a couple JSKs were even listed so far when I check sold listings too.

Maybe scalpers picked the salopette to scalp since it was cheaper per unit? But they should know those cuts are not as popular if they know enough about lolita to try to use the market for their scalping schemes.

>>10447774
>>10447870
I'm really happy that there's so many salopettes for sale - if a JSK in my preferred color doesn't pop up then I don't mind getting a salopette cut instead.

I can't decide between getting the mint or the red colorway, so the fact there's 10+ listings to choose from means I can take my time deciding before committing

>>10447871

Yeah you've got basically every colorway to choose from. There's 1 pink, 1 ivory, 2 mint, and like unlimited sax for the salos

>>10447870
If they’re scalping them, the price is not that much higher than the list price.

>>10447876
It's great! And as more people get their MTOs in the mail, even more will pop up.
We haven't even gotten to the west getting theirs - I wonder if there might even be overstock at AP USA? Gonna keep sitting on my hands and wait for more options to pop up.

>>10447882

I definitely want to go for pink and mint...I'm torn because pink suits my general wardrobe better but I prefer having the mint JSK and coording with pink accents I think? I wish this print came in lavender with pink stripes too to compare...

>>10447885
I like the red colorway the most, but I think i could match more stuff with the mint. Can't decide going with what I like more vs what I think I'll wear more.

>>10447886

I'm probably going to go mint for versatility. The pink has mostly lavender accents coming through as far as colors in my wardrobe I use a lot but the mint has the pink and lavender for stuff to pull out.

Also for the JSK: sax is up now; a regular scalper on fril has listed it.

>>10447892
wow, and they just raised the price of the white and red one too while the were at it. Shitty.

With these prices it's pushing me more and more into settling with a salopette.

>>10447894

I have a personal seething hate for this particular scalper because they are selling lurical bunny wristcuffs for double or triple the AP Japan price. I refuse to support a scalper that extreme when I can get 2 cute BABY JSKs for the price of one pair of wristcuffs secondhand.

Otome no Tutu is up for this weekend, including the new lavender colorway (thumb up if you’d like Vintage Tule to be released in lav too). Also they will release Shanghai Doll blouses.

>>10448017

Cute but it's not a print so I'm not particularly excited for it. Not that so only buy prints but AP no longer makes the type of solids that I like.

>>10448017
It looks so boring...

>>10448017
>>10448123
Literally a yawn-fest. But after buying the Ice Cream Jewelry, Topping Heart socks/jewelry... my wallet could use a break.

>>10445874
Crossing my fingers for Milky Planet, I need a headbow and some accessories. A new color would be awesome too, I think it would look super cute in mint.

>>10448203

Milky Planet over Sugary Carnival please, with jewelry...Ice cream is a top tier theme and the stars and all go so well with many of my current sweet prints that I tend to coord with a little bit of an uchuu-kei vibe using stars and moons

>>10448204
Ice cream > donuts and chocolate any day.

I really feel like 2020 would have been the perfect year to re-release a ton of "2010" sweet prints, but instead it just feels impossible now.

>>10448208

Donuts in particular is not my thing but I love prints that give the vibe of chocolate with brown colorways without necessarily having to be chocolate prints. Like Little Bears Cafe and things like that.

>>10448203
>>10448204
Tomorrow is the last day of LB, so it's not gonna happen this time. They might do some individual MTO, but it's too random to suggest.

>>10448208
>>10448211
I wouldnt mind another leg of MRC, now in ubercut. I would basically take any chocolate pattern as long as it comes as collar jsk in bitter. I'd probably like to see MWC in this cut, its crowns and calligraphy letterings are too pretty.

>>10448208
You shut your fucking mouth, chocolate is the best theme.

>>10448208
Right? doughnut prints attract the fatties

Oh for fuck's sake, I'm so exhausted with the secondhand market right now.

>>10448357
This is that girl too. I recognize her picture.
Toy Parade isn't worth $700... I hope she's doing that to push for a trade instead. But agreed, the secondhand market makes my coronavirus depression even worse.

>>10448233
Keep your chocolate then. I'm joining the ice cream master race.

>>10448357
Why does this need to be posted? It’s a WTT which usually people post higher prices on. And with how the sweet market is going someone might just pay the BIN price even though she’s trying to go for a trade

There’s been a lot of posting LaceMarket listings lately and it’s just coming off as jealous poorfags crying they can’t afford something. The market for sweet is rising. We get that you’re poor and upset. Either spend enough to get it or don’t.

>>10448453

I only post LM listings when there is a high price on an overtly damaged piece or a listing caption/piece that is cringey, gross, or amusing. This one wasn't me but everyone isn't a poorfag. Maybe we need to start a new LM thread again so people can post complaints there but that has the potential to get personal toward certain buyers or sellers quick.

But yeah angry posting high prices items comes off as whiny and if that chick reads here she'll probably feel bad. As an ana-chan she is probably already sensitive and insecure and I bought from her once and she was super sweet and nice and seems to be in general. The high price was almost certainly to encourage trades; she owns a ton of old AP and is specifically seeking newer AP in her trade request.

>>10448453
Tbf, this girl is a bitch. She hunted me down and messaged me on instagram because I didn’t pay her invoice within 9 hours. We’re in completely different time zones, I saw the listing and bought it then went to bed and planned to pay in the morning, but she wasn’t having it and let me know quite rudely. How impatient and entitled can you be?

>>10448463

Oh geez, that was not my experience at all. Maybe her lack of food is making her grumpy and mean or some shit if she is that nuts. I pay invoices immediately upon seeing them but most sellers don't complain or ask until 24 hours later so it's weird she was so aggressive.

>>10448453
I get what you're saying, anon, but you're coming off as someone who doesn't even buy AP in general, or doesn't have any skin in the secondhand market.

Many of us are still constantly buying and are far from just being "poor and upset." It gets really tiring when every older sweet dress ever is pushing $500~$700. Prices of accessories are going up too. It comes down to us not wanting to price gouge ourselves when we were used to a specific price point in the past that has now gone up very rapidly (I've said this before in another thread) and spending $700+ every week on just one dress is over twice the minimum wage in the US. That's far from "being poor" if you also pay bills, rent, food. It becomes egregious.

Also I've said this before too, but listings like this are feeding into the bad market right now. The next time someone lists Toy Parade they might see this and try to sell it at $800, and so on. It becomes an inflated value, especially if this girl is mostly interested in trades and intentionally used a high price as a placeholder. I have multiple colorways of Toy Parade, including the pink colorway she listed, and I'm still mad that it seemed priced so inaccurately.

She can sell it for whatever she wants, yes, but it doesn't mean we won't criticize it.

>>10448498

Nayrt but I'm kinda bummed about the while thing. I was desperate to find this and was willing to pay her high price and she said she was fine with me hitting BIN in a message that I just saw this morning but I guess she didn't want to wait and just sold it to someone else seemingly for different than list price or did a trade while I eas asleep before I even saw the message. Oh well. Maybe the anon mentioning a situation where she was impatient before is right that she was in a rush and all.

I wasn’t too excited about these blouses when they’ve come out, especially open shoulders. But the do look very cute in outfits, so fluffy.

>>10448632
I'm all about lace and ruffles, but those sleeves look like shredded tissue paper to me.

>>10448498
why not call out idiots spending the money on those listings instead of the posters? scalpers know they are scalping they can't be shamed into not doing it if they already are.

>>10448644
>>10448644
>hey I have an idea, let’s go around shitting on people because I think they spent too much on something they wanted

Because people can spend their money however they please. Getting mad at people buying items they want is the epitome of “I can’t afford this so I’m mad at the person who can.” People have every right to use their money how they please. What do they owe to you to not buy something they can afford? Going around “shaming” people for buying items is pathetic and will only make you look obsessed and envious. The market is changing, and going after people for paying what they think an item is worth is just showing the world how crazy you are.

If someone wants to pay x amount for an item but you only think it’s worth y doesn’t change the fact that someone else bought it for x. People aren’t going to restrict how much they want to pay for items because you disagree with it. How entitled can you possibly be?

>>10448644
I was about to say something like >>10448652
The bad feedback loop starts with the person posting the listing. They have the choice to price gouge or not, so I think they're more morally in the wrong. Everything else is based on that.

I'm still going to make fun of that girl who bought that lolipop necklace for $400 though, but at least that seller started it as a bid.

>>10448644
t. Jelly

>>10448652
>>10448655
you ignored what i said in favor of bawwing about poorfags? the "feedback loop" starts when someone ACTUALLY BUYS from scalpers. like i said already, scalpers know they are being shitty already, if they have buyers there's no reason for them to stop. people in the comm with no self control buying 400 plastic are what empowers the scalpers if no one bought from them they would just disappear.

>>10448660
It's an anonymous board so I almost never assume people replying are the original poster, unless they made specific references.

But I'm confused even more now because you lol'd at poor people for not buying scalped listings, and then you said we should hate on people who do buy scalped listings?

You're right and there's fault on both sides. But one has more ill intent than the other.

>>10448660
But that is what you said. The whole idea behind what you said is getting upset for people paying what they think an item is worth.

The $400 necklace was an anomaly, I’ll grand you that. But AP jewelry is going up in price rapidly. Necklaces that sold for $30 this time last year are going for $75-100+. Milky planet is selling CONSISTENTLY for 2-3x what it went for this time last year. Sugary carnival is back to topping over $600. At that point it’s no longer a few “idiots.” The market has changed. So it just leaves you complaining and wanting to “call out” people for paying what they think something is worth.

>>10448665
Grant*

>>10448660
Dude, what makes you think buyers have no this “fuck money, I want it” stance? Like it’s not effective to call scalpers out, but seller are weak and won’t survive the community pressure.

>>10448665
Nyart but there’s a sugary carnival listing up for $400 that’s been up for at least a week
Also a milky planet currently going for $300
I agree that they’re growing in price but not as exaggerated as it seems.

>>10448947
Ok but In what colours? I’ve seen milky planet sold a few times recently but always in black which is the least desirable

>>10448952
>black
do you mean navy? but true the navy colorway seems to be the least desirable.

>>10448947
Ok, but it also sold for $700+ recently too and 600 and 400~ a few times before that. I’m definitely not exaggerating milky planet though. Some of the listings for milky planet are even more like 4x what it went for last year.

Well, sunnyrnot is on LM scalping Toy Doll Box MTO items now.


Why is it that all the resellers/scalpers went for the salopettes? It must be because the salopette are the lowest upfront cost right? Otherwise it seems stupid since salopette are not that popular of a cut compared to JSKs.

>>10449018
Salopette is big on the Chinese market, considering she’s a Chinese reseller that makes sense

>>10449019

But she is a Chinese intentionally reselling to westerners though, right? That's why it confuses me unless they're just a scalper too lazy to keep up with western trends to maximize profit.

>>10448963
no i meant black, from the first release haha

>>10449022

Black is almost always the least popular for pastel sweet prints, isn't it?

>>10449022
The reason why I said navy is because like >>10448979 said, black has been one of the most popular colorways..

>>10449027
no?

>>10449120

I always see people reselling black very commonly so I assumed that it was less popular if people are getting rid of them more. Maybe people like the high contrast though.

>>10449027
Not at all. The bittersweet look is extremely popular.

>>10448660
Where have you actually been?

You had YEARS and re-releases to get MP or SC. Second hand market was dirt cheap for the past what, 5ish years? You could get any SC or MC cut/color for ~250 or far less. Often they went for about $150. Same goes for most AP sweet dresses and jewelry.

I fail to see how anyone other than newbies are complaining about the sudden rise in second hand prices when these are some of the most coveted sweet prints AP ever made, both in Japan and in the West. Since the chances of AP re-releasing these prints a third time in actual cotton and glitter is unlikely, of course they are going up again. There are a limited number of these prints in existence and if demand is going up then the market will reflect that.

It makes sense newbies would be salty since they just discovered what they want and now have to pay the price because they are late to the game. But anyone else actively pissed is an absolute embarrassment because you could have scrapped together your McD's money at some point in last half decade and gotten the items you are complaining about for a steal. Why are you only salty now?

Also you clearly don't follow the Japanese market because a lot of pastel/sweet cotton prints and jewelry are going for a small fortune there, too. And there's the, oh, fundamental fact that no one owes you anything to keep a demand market in a price range you approve of. People can buy what they want for a price they are okay with. It's none of your business if it is worth it to them.

(What's funny is this same shit happened with dresses like Gloria and Katrina but they didn't have nearly this same degree of such a salty echo chamber.)

>>10448665
This.

>>10449027
I don't know why the other anons are saying no. Black is definitely the least popular colorway for pastel prints. All you have to do is look on Wunderwelt or any other resale site and you'll see there's tons of black colorways sitting around for otherwise highly desirable prints.

Goodnight Sisters tea party special MTO is coming out

>>10449899
Pictures from Japanese lolita’s twitter after she’s received hers

>>10449900

>>10449899
>>10449900
>>10449901
Okay, I had to ask: which one you gulls like better, this or Daydream Bed Special Set? It feels too alike, but now it’s all over print instead of border one.

>>10449899

Looks like a cheap nightgown so I guess the the name is a good choice.

Actually though from these photos whatever material it is doesn't look as bad as usual.

>>10449901
I love it but at the same time it feels creepy to have a print with a girl that isn’t faceless for the first time.

>>10449899
The fabric looks awful, but the print and design are cute. What a shame

>>10449899
I love it! Unpopular opinion, but I like the subtle sheen the fabric has

>>10449899
>>10449903
I wonder if the color is the same. GS seems darker.

>>10449903
Daydream Bed Special Set for me. I don't like the cut of the Goodnight Sisters tea party special MTO.

While the other is my favorite OP cut.

I also like border prints more than all over prints like this one.

>>10449903
Daydream Bed, no contest.
I love Daydream Bed so much, though, so I'm biased.

>>10449900
I hate the cut, but the print is so cute.

Fuck everyone paying these prices. It’s not fair,

>>10450325
Wym it's not fair? Back in the day girls considered SC an investment piece, it was the hottest status piece and regularly sold for more than this. This one looks like really good condition and has multiple pieces not just a dress, I would pay that if I didn't already have a damaged one in the same colorway

>>10450325
why does ap refuse to do a mto for this dress? this dress has been screaming for a mto forever now.

>>10450325
At least it's not faded.
>>10450330
I'm scared AP will do poly

>>10450325
You've got to be memeing the AP jewelry-chan. I refuse to believe there are that many of you out there who are this pathetic.

>>10450325
Cry harder

>>10450325

Hundreds on a single piece of jewelry is questionable, hundreds on a dress that can be worn for years and regularly sells for more isn't that nuts. I guess the fact that it's an OP and not a JSK set is a little shocking but it doesn't surprise me people will pay that much and more.

Nothing unfair at all unless you're someone with wide shoulders who can't fit OPs or something, cause this is a discount compared to most SCs

>>10450337
even if it got the honeycake treatment, it will still sell like crazy

>>10450325
As a fellow AP 2010 sweet era lover, I understand the frustration at rising prices for things that were once cheap or easily attainable - however, a full Sugary Carnival set, the most iconic of AP's dresses, in good condition? with alterations to make it bigger to appeal to people that couldn't regularly fit it, and sounds like the alterations can be easily reversed if the new buyer wants to upon receiving it? This price range is not surprising. Even just a regular full set of anything in good condition would be about $400.

>>10450350
I wonder how much the OP in pink would go for.

>>10450325
tfw this sold 4 months earlier for $160

>>10450325
I don’t see a problem here. It’s a full set, and it’s on a bidding system so it really depends on how much someone is willing to pay for it vs how much the owner wants to sell it for.

Personally, I can’t wait to see what it ends at since I own the print as well. Would be nice to see what it’s “worth” these days.

>>10450419
It just sold the other day for $780.

>>10450337
I would take poly, although I don’t really want to deal with dress that’s falling off me.

>>10450325
>>10450330

We probably have to email AP if we want it. They only ever started doing MTOs when pissed chinese lolitas started writing in to complain about DDC being sold out, and then they only ever did Honeycake after someone made a petition for it.

If nobody wants to start a petition, at least write up a list of past auctions where this dress has gone over $300 and has more than a couple of bidders, it'll at least show them there's some demand for this dress.

>>10450344
>>10450350
Seller confirmed they didn’t even do major alterations (they had the seamstress let out the seam allowance for extra room).

Also are OPs just not as desirable? I mean, other than people not fitting in the shoulders. I’ve personally always preferred the OPs of most dresses so I’m always surprised OPs are more disliked

>>10450517

>other than people not fitting in the shoulders

I mean, you even explained it yourself. The people who fit into a cut will be the buyers, yanno? It's mostly the crazy fattychans and anachans that try to buy dresses that don't fit them.

>>10450586
Shit bait

What email should we mass message to ask for a sugary carnival MTO? I have all the dresses but I want new socks and jewelry

>>10450617
I believe the last HC petition girl actually took the digital signatures to the designers themselves when they came to a con in England. Now that I think about it, does AP even have a business email?? Lmao

>>10450517
You can wear JSKs in more ways than you can with OPs because you can change blouses for more varied looks
with OPs you're always stuck having the sleeves being the same as the dress

>>10450325
I'm frustrated about the secondhand AP market as well, but come on, this is an auction. It started at like $200

>>10447892
>>10447885
>>10447897
I ended up caving and getting the red x ivory colorway from the seller that has like 20+ listings for various Toy Doll Box items. I don't really know what the deal is with them having so many, but their "markup" is what I would have paid direct from AP USA. I guess they just ordered like 10 of everything during the MTO or something

>>10450764
Not trying to be an ass, but i saw when it was first posted which was $125 start

>>10450776
Same lmao

>>10450776
Wow sorry my english is stupid here. I meant like it had started at $125 lmao i clearly need to go to bed

Seems pretty fragile. I feel so bad for this lolita.

>>10450830
oh god it got all scratched up. what the fuck?

>>10450830
What happened?? Did her bag rub against the dress or something?

>>10450836
Yep, she warns against using this purse with this dress.

>>10450830
Holy fuck that's awful. This is what happens when you cut corners in materials...

>>10450630
They literally have a contact page? That opens a form. Or email customer (at) angelicpretty dot com. But unless you're emailing AP USA or Paris, you should write in Japanese.

Just asking for a dress might get ignored unless enough people do it. You're more likely to get attention if you include receipts of past secondhand sales.

>>10450830
I've gotten a minor version of this on My Favorite Room with that bag. The metal clip snags

>new releases for 8/8
EVERYONE STAY CALM.

>>10451428
I want it, but I don’t know if I should go for it and set myself up for disappointment

>>10451428
Is it a mto this time?

>>10451431
No, and it’s probably a super limited quantity

>>10451428

I'd be freaking out if it was lavender or something but oversaturated colors don't do it for me. (Seems like most people preferred mint and pink colorways anyway since the red/blue one sold out last seemingly every release of it at every AP Store except maybe Japan)

>>10451428
Looking forward to seeing this for ¥80000 on fril after my SS breaks the news to me that they couldn’t get it

>>10451446
Painfully accurate.

>>10451428
Not a fan of the hot pink so that’s good for me

>>10451428
What’s that third color inbetween the mint? Ivory? Yellow? I don’t like it. They should have gone with a different color.

>>10451428
I AM NOT FUCKING CALM

Fantastic World Map is releasing this week, in 2 cuts and 3 colourways, white, brown and navy

>>10451477
The white colourway

>>10451477
This is heavy meta vibes

>>10451478
The jsk cut

>>10451480
I love the blouse that’s being released with this dress.

>>10451480
They're also releasing this cool blouse for it, which I thought was interesting enough to post

>>10451478
I hate the tie on this dress so much, but even though the it’s removable the dress would look weird without it because of the way the bodice is designed

>>10451481
More long dresses, alongside a skirt cut

>>10451428
Ice cream parlor is rereleasing the salopettes as well, but not in this new colourway

>>10451481
This might look really good with Dream Bear jsk-s

>>10451485
I like this, but not enough to actually place an order. Also it somehow reminds me of Twinkle Tonight OP, but looks rather like an adult version.

In BSoLF.

I'm convinced that everyone ever who has CCS as their dream dress is either stupid or incredibly new. Even if you joined the fashion a year ago, you would have had tons of chances to get this dress. I literally bought it just to have it because I saw it pop up for $100 so often.

I get that's not really true for the market now, but still.

>>10451582
oh it's the elf ears girl
that post was incredibly lulzy

>>10451591

Ohhh THAT girl. The one who always wants trades.

>>10451596
Trades suck, and I don't understand why people try to do them so often. I get anxious enough just having something shipped in the mail. Why would I want to double that stress with TWO packages?

>>10451481
don't really care for this release but damn this blouse is gorgeous

>>10451613
>>10451482
I'm surprised so many people are lusting after this blouse. Given AP's poor quality recently, I don't have high hopes for something that looks like it will get snagged/shredded if it touches anything.

>>10451627
this one is just their chiffon so it's not going to be that bad.

>>10451582
Curious who this is. Did the dress they traded for not arrive?

>>10451443
Agree, this would have been a dream in lav x yellow. The hot pink ruins it for me and I’m disappointed they did ANOTHER mint. The mint stans already got theirs, where’s the colorway for the rest of us?

>>10451428
You know AP’s designs have gone downhill when the special set is the same cut. The special sets were usually a simpler cut but the cut was already so shittily basic you can’t get any simpler

>>10451845
i actually like the hot pink. it looks like streamers.

>>10451846
They’ve been doing this a lot lately and it sucks. I miss special set cuts.

>>10451846

I was so close to feeling like between this print and the bunny wa set that maybe AP wad slowly getting their shit back together.

But then they manage to make the special set worse than the worst colorway in the original release plus have the utterly abysmal and fragile quality on the heart dress and now I feel like pic related and there is little that will turn me back.

Only secondhand or MTO cotton rereleases AP for me here on out.

>>10451855
Ayrt, same. I’m giving them one last chance this lucky pack season to see if they bring back the printed lucky pack. If they skip it again I’m done with buying/following new AP

>>10451428
"We heard whipped magic's colorway was so famous so here's radioactive ice cream"

>>10451859

When even a self proclaimed AP whore like Tyler decides she prefers BABY and has a non sarcastic/satirical conversation about their decline and lack of effort you know it's bad.

AP is doing what taobao does and forgetting lolita, even sweet, isn't just about prints and looks; it's about the details that make things have that extra little oomph that normie clothes don't usually have anymore.

And while lolita isn't inherently synonymous with quality, there is something more otherworldly and fantastical about lolita clothes that have weight and mass and feel more like real clothes than the overly light and airy shiny polyester or poorly placed chiffon accents...we are so used to things that fall apart after a wear or feel itchy and cheap that stuff that feels built to last is more magical than elf ear fairy wing taobao styles.

>>10451863
Couldn’t have put it better myself

>>10451863
it's funny you say that because chinese lolitas literally feel the opposite of this. it's the same thing in the hanfu comm, outfits started out made of nice linen to give a realistic, clothing look, and then everything turned into cheap plasticy chiffon and polyester. it's so hard to find anything made of actual fabrics now, even the repro pieces.

>>10451863
>there is something more otherworldly and fantastical about lolita clothes that have weight and mass and feel more like real clothes
This, a million times.
Because even if I'm wearing a print that has a carousel made of cupcakes and ice cream, I still want to feel like I'm wearing real, honest clothing. I don't want it to be a costume. The point is that it IS clothing, and women can wear motifs that might otherwise be considered "too much"/"too young"/
too bright," without it being some cheap,throwaway princess outfit. It forces people to recognize it as valid, because it's taking itself serious. That's the whole magic of lolita for me, and my nostalgia for older AP.

>a self proclaimed AP whore like Tyler decides she prefers BABY
I'm 100% an AP whore and even though I agree that Baby's quality right now is leagues above AP, it still felt odd that she went on and on about being an AP whore... because I think there's a whole group of us that really only identify with AP, no matter how hard we try to like other brands. There's just nothing else that rivals it. Not trying to be critical, it was just weird, because I wish I could like Baby's sweet prints, but they just look too "mature" and dusty for me even if I recognize they are "better"?

>>10451901
>I wish I could like Baby's sweet prints, but they just look too "mature" and dusty for me even if I recognize they are "better"?
even stuff like sugar rose or pup in a cup?

>>10450327
I was in lolita back in the day and at least back then it wasn't a super old washed out piece with 8 previous owners..

>>10451910
I just looked those up, and Sugar Rose is pretty cute. There only thing is those dresses are from 2009/2010 and not current day. The prints AP released at the time were still more my taste, and the prints Baby releases right now still aren't comparable for me, unfortunately.

>>10451582
>garuntee

>>10451846
To be honest I don't mind this although I wish they had done something cute like Honey Cake's special set cut with the bows going down the bodice. Kinda surprised with no full back shirring either since that typically is a design feature of specials. I'm just glad this isn't another extreme empire cut, many of the special sets from like 2017-present have been those -A cup monstrosities

>>10451483
You could take the tie off and use a pretty cravat

>>10451846

I think it's a deliberate choice. They also did it with Dolly Damask -- the special set was in lavender, not one of the other colours released. The pricing wasn't much of a "discount" from buying the regular release with headbow either. It's really a different meaning for "special set", rather than a cheaper item, it's in very limited quantities and a different colour from regular release. I actually wouldn't be surprised if this Ice Cream Parlour special set here also isn't much cheaper than buying the regular, it's just "special" for being a rare colour and limited quantity.

Now on the other hand, I can't figure out the Jewelry Snow special set they uploaded last week. It's cheaper than the regular set? But looks like the regular set? And unlike ICP this definitely isn't a simple cut either. Where do you think they cut the corners on this one?

>>10452085
i don't think anyone was implying it's not deliberate, just lazy. i feel like it's been happening like that for a while though. also i think js has a simple cut, it just has a lot of lace detailing.

>>10452102

The lace still costs money though. It's even inserted into the princess seams, rather than just slapped on as an afterthought. Maybe it was a store exclusive that they had too much of? It's summer sale season after all.

Besides, it wouldn't be so obvious if they didn't upload it together with these two. Now, if you want to see a special set that's "simpler" and "cut cost", Jewelry Aquarium and Sweet Cherry Margaret both look it. Though, they're sub-20k yen so that's still a pretty good deal for a jsk + headwear set.

Fun little tidbit because I noticed on my AP USA order - you can see the exact time of purchase, and order numbers are sequential.

I placed two orders, 20 seconds apart. There were 17 orders between my two order numbers, so that means there was about one order placed every second.

This was for the Ice Cream Parlor re-release/jewelry release a few weeks ago. I think it's kind of cool that this quantifies AP's popularity a little bit. And those were only successful orders, not necessarily everyone who was trying, or even got the "Add to Cart" button to load.

Look at Daydream Bed special >>10449903 the design seems to be more elaborate with that ruffled collar, bigger bow and extra waist tie. Also if you look at Lolibrary, some specials just look like regular edition pieces. Look at the Kronos Utopia or Dream Cat Go Round sets, they bothered to give it the long sleeves even tho it takes more fabric than some go-to-misty-sky-jsk cut. I think it’s not only some cheaper option, just marking thing. Special editions are generally pretty popular in Japan, look at the rest of brands. Baby does kumyas in every shape and form, but they are usually tied to some specific event or store, so every pink leopard bow kumya is actually exclusive.

You're confusing tea party exclusive for special set. Special sets are recognized as being cheaper and usually have less detail and lace than the original dress. Occasionally people like the cut of the special set better and they buy it secondhand. People buying overpriced special sets is because they don't know it was one.

The grey Daydream Bed was a tea party exclusive, not a special set.

I'm so curious because I have the jewelry snow jsk. I wish I could go to the store and compare.

20 minutes, everyone. Good luck.

I can't believe she refers to herself as MS in bsolf, every coord she posts in cof is so ita and cringy

>>10452396
Most of the very vocal MS in BSoLF shouldn't be MS. You get used to it after a while.

Map series flopped hard

>>10452401
It has to do with time and wardrobe sizes per their rules, so of course permaitas are MS

>>10452414
Imagine my surprise

>>10452102

It's been happening like that since the days of Sugary Carnival, then. This is listed as a special set as well.

I don't think they necessarily make a distinction between special sets that are cheaper/simpler vs special sets that are just special.

Seems like navy was popular, but that’s it.

>>10452414
It was so ugly. I'm surprised anything even sold out.

>>10452451
It's quite interesting how they tried to use the same color for DDC, but it actually turned to be budget set with white lace and lesser detail.

>>10452471

They used the same colour on the mook tote bag as well. I get that it's a cheaper product, but I still wonder why they went with this colour. Maybe it's significant to them? Maybe they tried for a second SC-type hit with the same colour but ended up with whatever set DDC was.

I feel like DDC is an anomaly though, it was their last big cash cow and they tried to milk it for a few years after. It may have been the last expanded set they did, there weren't just blouses, cutsews, parkas and totebags, there were brollies, wallets and nail stickers (lol). There's also a handful of entirely different budget special sets with different cuts for it.

>>10452474
I’m actually surprised they haven’t done another DDC MTO. I own everything I want from the series so I’m not interested personally, but from what I can see the demand is still there and it guarantees AP money without needing to design anything new.

>>10452476
I exppected them to make an MTO after they released matching purses desu. AP likes dropping hints like that, but it never actually happened.

>>10452476
i am too desu. i got most of my set on original release and then the rest of it from the mto but i know people who still want it. it's been so so popular.

>>10452476
>>10452478
Not sure on my feelings about this. I'd probably hop on MTO bandwagon, but I rather see this print as more realistic substitute to Glass Bottle of Tears.

>>10452477
Well never too late, they could still be considering it

>>10451428
Already seeing so many of these on fril. Didn't get it in the release. Feels bad, man. I kind of want to cry.

>>10452482
Did Romantic Perfume not check that box?

>>10452414
Navy and beige sold out in both cuts. I wouldn’t call that a flop.

>>10452564

I don't know why they bothered with the white. Navy and beige were the only 2 good colors. Navy would have been better with more detail like a real globe map with greens and browns in it mimicking an act planet I think but of course that would probably be too much detail.

>>10452568
That sounds tacky as hell

>>10452569
Based

The black detailing on white reminds me of Nazi uniforms. Not enough that I think it’s a big deal or bad, but still. That’s the first place my mind went. Something about the white piping on the black collar

>>10452573
Same anon, to be more clear: Nazis are obv very bad, but I’m saying AP isn’t bad and I’m sure they didn’t do it on purpose
