Reposting from last thread. Please read before spamming this thread with stupid questions.

* Angelic Pretty MTO will be on Japan and USA website
* The Made-To-Order will start on the 17th 6p.m. and will end on the 25th. You won't see it on the homepage until it's 6 p.m.
* The colors are pink, ivory, wine, bxw and lavender. No black or navy this time, but both JSK cuts.
* The sizes are most likely the same as the old releases and can be checked on lolibrary. Only the OP is confirmed to be 10cm longer
* To order from Japan, you WILL need a Tenso account.
* http://angelicpretty-onlineshop.com/user_data/tenso-com-en.php
*http://egl.livejournal.com/19625005.html
*Tenso acts a 3rd party between you and AP if you live outside of Japan. The usage fee for Tenso is ONLY ¥580 (less than $5 USD). If your order with AP is less than ¥32,400, you will have to pay domestic shipping fees from AP to Tenso, which ranges from ¥450~¥2,200; if your order is more than ¥32,400 (tax included) they will do this for FREE.
* It is much cheaper to order through AP Japan depending on your country's exchange rate. Please check www.xe.com. SF will charge you tax on top of listed price at 8.75% and shipping ranges from $20~$45 USD.
* CREDIT CARD IS REQUIRED TO ORDER. If your debit card has a VISA or DISCOVER logo on it, it will be accepted. Payments are taken after items have been placed in your shopping cart. You do not have to wait for an invoice.

Why are you so anal retentive about terms? In the last thread and in any thread I have ever seen that mentions tenso, literally everyone has called it a shopping service, including people who at least act like they know what their doing. I don't think it matters much. Why do you get so irrationally angry about word choice? I'm curious.

I'm just using Tenshi, I don't have any bills/mail sent to my current address so I wouldn't be able to pass their verification.
Plus Nicole is super sweet and always ships my packages out pretty quickly, it'll probably be comparable to AP USA in price and shipping time tbh.

I just seems like HL in particular. There's been so many repeat offenders. People will ask a question, get it answered, and right underneath the answer someone else will ask the question again in a slightly different way.

Perhaps we could all put together a general release FAQ in a pastebin or something? I don't know a whole lot myself since I mostly buy secondhand but I wouldn't mind coordinating it if people were willing to contribute information.

Okay, sorry, not a newfag, just recently moved and all my official documents still have my old address, I know how Tenso works. Plus I tend to use 'shopping service' to refer to anything that helps me shop from places I wouldn't otherwise be able to get stuff from. I was simply curious to know what other gulls were doing.

Dude MasterCard debit or credit doesn't matter. If your debit card has a MasterCard logo it can be considered a MasterCard credit card (it deducts payments 3-5 business days from checking account instead of immediately).

Okay Anons, possibly stupid question here: I was originally going to just get OP and socks, then nab the meta lucky pack when that's released. If I didn't manage to get one (like if they sell out super fast like last time), then I was thinking of grabbing a zipper JSK or bat bag instead. Should I just hold off on my order until after the lucky pack is out or just grab now and then add later if I feel like it?

Is there a benefit to ordering from the Japanese site over SF?
I've never ordered from AP before and I'm not sure I want to mess with tenso and such.
I know it'll be cheaper in yen with the exchange rate, but how much of a difference will it really make after fees and shipping costs?

i noticed in the description for the jsk translated it says

does this mean the pattern and lace has changed? is anyone a better translator than google?

If you live in the US, and iirc from the last thread, you save about $60 if you use tenso and order from the JP site. If you live in CA (and depending on weight of items) your shipping might be pretty low, in which case it's up to you. If you can do store pick up, that's the most ideal and just do that. If SF isn't within driving distance, it's up to you. My shipping wasn't too high, but I had enough items in my cart where even with tenso fees, my total was less.

I've never ordered from AP and I don't want to get hit with a bunch of hidden fees that I didn't know about for either AP or Tenso.
If there are fees for the Japanese site or tenso, then it wouldn't matter how much I was saving with the exchange rate because that money would be swallowed up by the fees/shipping costs anyway.

The only "hidden" fees you'd need to worry about are shipping weight (which if you're super worried about, I suggest adding everything into your cart on the SF site, copying that weight, and pasting it into Tenso's shipping calculator for an exact number), and the cost to use Tenso itself- which is ¥580 (less than $5 USD). You don't need to worry about hidden taxes using the tenso method.

Can I just say how surreal it was to take my time checking out on a print I wanted so much? I hummed and hawwed over which barrette clips I wanted, which socks, etc. It didn't feel real.

TBH the only extra fee is her SS fee which is only like 5% + PP fees? The shipping from her is about the same as Tenso, so you aren't out *that* much. Also look at it this way, you are supporting her wonderful SS AND not paying that much more over retail when you used to have to pay nearly a grand for some of the colorways.

I mean, my dream dress was Nameless Poem and I realized how many people were grabbing it during the second release but that didn't deter me. If anything, I think everyone else was afraid to wear it because of how many people got it, so I haven't see a whole lot of it even though I know multiple people who own it.

Basically, for the first month or so you'll probably see a lot of AP fags coording it but it will die out soon enough because people don't want to look like everyone else.

If it's on Tenso, then no. On Tenso I put my name in English in both fields and it was ok.

Now on AP's website, the first field is in English (last name, first name) then the 2nd is in katakana. Look, I'm even providing a link for a name converter. http://www.sljfaq.org/cgi/e2k.cgi

Not the anon you were responding to, but Tenso refer to themselves as a FORWARDING service, so... https://www.tenso.com/en/

I don't understand why there is dispute over the differences between a forwarding service and a shopping service though. Those are two different things and should be referred to as such for clarity (because we don't need confused noobs to be even more confused). Sound fair?

MasterCard Debit is technically an ATM card. It can be run through both credit and debit transaction services. Debit shows up on your account immediately, and credit takes three to five days to process through.

Now on the other hand, if MasterCard flags a Japanese purchase as potentially fraudulent, you may be fucked. But I doubt it. They usually call you to confirm that you made the purchase.

Just an FYI to taller lolitas considering the skirt: I am about 163cm (so, hardly tall) and the new skirt hits at about mid-thigh with a small petticoat. I was pretty surprised that it was so short, but it still looks fucking amazing - you just might need an underskirt if you're taller than me.

Can I ask why you are doing a group order? The shipping will be a lot more expensive getting a huge, heavy box sent via EMS as opposed to the roughly 2000yen it costs from tenso for one dress. And I say get the black if you don't want both, it's more versatile and also bold which helps with the boldness of the black on ivory.

Barrettes are pretty generic and easy to come by. If you already have a plain black or ivory barrette skip it. Otherwise get the color that matches more of your stuff. They're versatile, so I'd recommend getting one; you'll probably get a decent amount of use out of it.

I think it's nice to have the matching headwear for a jsk. If the barette will match other stuff in your wardrobe I would say it's more of an incentive to go for it. even if you already have something else that could work, idk, if you won't mind spending the money on it then go for it. either way, if you do get it and then decide you don't need it, if you put it up for sale it's probably gonna go pretty quickly.

Anon you sound like a slightly bigger body type as me. To answer your questions, look in the last thread. General consensus is it wont look very good. The OP looks best on thin girls and busts under 90cm. If you can wear a sports bra or minimizer that would help, but otherwise you should go for the zipper JSK. I bought the OP because I can minimize my bust and waist, and because I just liked the OP more than other cuts.

You do you, but chances are the OP might look like a fancy mumu.

It's close to retail right now on the secondhand market. I feel like after everyone gets their MTO the price will cap at about $300-350.
I'm buying 2 dresses but don't have the money right now to buy everything I want so I'm gonna wait till I get more money maybe next month or the month after to buy secondhand. I don't see it going back up to $700-900 ever again, thank god.

the zipper jsks are probably going to plummet in price as well, I have a feeling that the lav and wine colorways are going to end up being the cheapest just because everyone is going to have them, whereas the other colors might hold value better since fewer people jumped at them during the MTO. my instincts are saying pink might be the most valuable down the road

Never below retail, except maybe for the skirts. I think the unpopular cuts will drop to retail or slightly above. The more popular cuts/colors will drop in price a little, but still be significantly above retail.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 18 13:01:45 2015 No.8673804 >>8673797 Its a made-to-order/reservation. Usually MTOs are unlimited (or never reach their cut-off number) but given the extreme popularity of the print it is possible the MTO will close early, just like with Melty Berry Princess's MTO.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 18 13:02:08 2015 No.8673805 >8673797 It's limited but the limit is very high, chances are slim that it will close early and even if it does it will probably only close 1-2 days in advance. Don't sweat it.

If I'm unsure as to whether or not I want something, I think about what would happen if I didn't get it. Would I be really bummed that I missed out or would I feel fine? If I think I'll be bummed missing out then I get it. The thing with Holy Lantern is since so many people love it, even though there's tons of people getting it, there's still plenty of people who won't be able to buy it but will be looking to be once the orders all ship out to people in March. If you don't like it anymore once it gets to you, you could still easily make your money back if you decided to sell it.

guh, do you think certain unpopular colors might just stay at retail or slightly below because they're unpopular though? specifically speaking about the blackxwhite/silver colorway. I actually really like that, but I can only get one main piece bc money so I decided to just get the wine jsk. I figured I could just buy it in the future cause someone won't want it anymore. I guess when MTO's start shipping out I should have the money saved by then and I can put a WTB up?

>>8673784
I can see some pieces that everyone has been getting in the MTO being slightly below retail but things dropping way below, like under 250USD, I don't think it will happen for a long time, like a few years tbh. So I would still expect to pay 250+ for main pieces but nothing above like $450 maybe. But hey, who knows. We're the ones who set the prices - some people may begin putting their pieces up for lower prices or crazy people may keep bidding really high prices just to get their hands on a trendy dress.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 18 14:07:24 2015 No.8673919 >>8673239 FUCK that's so cute. I actually wish I was taller, I'm only 152 and prefer non-lolita Jfashion. I've been hoping for the rerelease for years, but it's probably going to hit me right at the knee.

Not a chance. I hunted this dress for the last year and the reason it got so expensive was because people rarely sold them, it popped up so infrequently. There are lots of these dresses going around now, so it'll never reach that price again imho.

Personally I think it would look very cute at the knee! Maybe keep an eye out for it on the secondhand market? There have already been a couple of skirts that have cropped up on LM for around retail. IMO it'd also look really cute without a petticoat if you'd like to wear it casually too.

Thank you! I hope the photos were useful for your reference!

Not that anon, but another pic for reference. I'm 5'6" and I chose the tights to keep my thighs from showing. I'm wearing a pretty full petti though, I think it'd look better with a smaller one.

>>8673239
You have the navy as well! I'm loving this color. It looks cute with the socks! How tall are you? I'm curious if they'll be long enough on my legs.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 18 14:57:17 2015 No.8674012 >>8673805 >>8673804 >>8673802 Thank you very much, anons! I really appreciate it!

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 18 15:00:22 2015 No.8674019 >>8674003 If you don't mind me asking, how much do you weigh? You have my dream legs.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 18 15:07:27 2015 No.8674029 >>8673957 Yea, I agree. With Dream Marine and Melt Berry Princess, I was hoping that the MTO meant that I would have a chance to grab one but I still haven't really seen one below 300

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 18 15:16:37 2015 No.8674039 >>8674019 Thanks anon! I don't mind at all, I'm around 100lbs. I'm sorry to say I don't do anything special to get them this way though.

Curious: What length petti are you guys using? A few months back /cgl/ actually pointed me to a Halloween costume petti that was the perfect length but the puff was HUGE (which would be awesome for people who love that, great puff to price ratio) and I'm in the market for a less huge one.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 18 17:28:53 2015 No.8674235 How much would shipping cost for a single OP from AP to tokyo?

Anonymous Sun Oct 18 17:36:17 2015 No.8674251

Does the ivory OP have golden stars on it this time around? It looks like the originals did, based on Lolibrary, so I'm guessing it will be the same? I guess I'm just hoping someone will tell me otherwise because I don't like gold that much, lmao.

>obviously still getting it, just curious for matching purposes

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 18 19:01:29 2015 No.8674378 >>8674235 spend a bit more and get free shipping.

High five, fellow navy wearing anon! I really fell in love with the color, especially after getting it and seeing it in person. It looks lovely on you too!

>>8674224
I'm actually wearing a cheap Leg Avenue petticoat. I grabbed it because it usually isn't this fluffy, but Holy Lantern is a pretty lightweight skirt compared to what I usually use it under (OPs that need mild-to-moderate fluff). I have a small black petti I'll have to test with it too.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 18 19:25:15 2015 No.8674429 >>8674224 What was the Halloween petti they pointed you to?

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 18 19:32:11 2015 No.8674437 >>8674224 >>8674418 I went ahead and pulled it up from my Amazon order list: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VEVE14 Surprisingly effective poof for something so cheap. It's very soft, too.

Funnily enough, I think mine was also Leg Avenue! So a version of the one anon generously linked here: >>8674437
I picked mine up in a Halloween shop and they had two varieties, the one that I think anon's definitely is, and another the same length but in a fatter packaging (nearly a cube). I'm getting this one!
