Holy Lantern going up on AP JP side in a few hours.

Anyone have shopping services entering the fray?

Waiting for international release?

It's always good to gauge the japanese side to judge how cutthroat it will be over here.

You're kidding, right? Almost every printed release sells out in less than 10 minutes.

And if you want to compare to DDC you have to be talking about every colorway selling out in ONE minute, not ten.

I'm not trying to argue I'm just saying that it's not as popular as people are trying so hard to make it. It also has significantly less stock which is one huge reason why it sold out so quickly.

>> No.7133580

Truth. Much of the original stock came back as "B" grade and unacceptable for sale. Many had to be repaired, thus the push back of the date. Chiffon is so delicate especially with the velvet burn out design. Low stock is making the demand seem so high. I'll laugh when people get them and wear them and they get damaged easily.

I think that's why they made that other maid-style OP they just released, since it has the cross charm at the collar as well. I think it was to try and make up for the lack of stock due to the b-grade items.

I had Innocent World's Acanthus before and it was fine quality? I've never had a chiffon AP dress (only some of their chiffon-like material, as well as some dresses with chiffon accents) so I can't speak for their quality in comparison but Acanthus was great.

>>7133580
Shit, is the resell value going to be okay? If this shit is too delicate I wanna pawn it off on someone else when I'm done.

>> No.7133598

Your best bet would be to sell it quick while people are still interested and before AP releases sneak peaks of newer, more popular prints. That gobelin unicorn print is going to be a shit show, for sure. Also, sell it before you fuck up the delicate fabric, obviously.

>> No.7133597

if it's anything like the Dream Sky chiffon I haven't had a problem with it. Wore it in the rain (my b yo, was all of a sudden), wore it dancing, wore it to a party, no damages.

Dream Sky isn't flocky chiffon. This probably came from a different factory in China.

I'm not sure if that changes how I feel about the dress. Yay for no nasty dull shine but boo for it being delicate.

>> No.7133601

>>7133598
Unicorn print has gotten a lot of mixed feelings though? People don't like the cuts and the higher price for the gobelin isn't really doing it any favors. I don't think it's going to be very popular.

That is not how AP releases work: they set aside x amount for each store in Japan, then x amount for the Japanese online site, then x amount for the international site, and 1 for international stores (AP SF)

The reason it's saying it is going to take some time to confirm is because that's how they always do it.

To mimic what someone said above: do you REALLY think they're going to keep the international site closed for FOUR days? I don't think so.

I've participated in enough AP releases to know that sometimes they're just slow, for whatever reason. I don't know why, but there's not much rhyme or reason to them, but from a business perspective it would be ridiculously stupid to close your shop for four days.
