Gotta love that permanent layer of poly plastic polluting the Earth.

>>10608854
>It hasn't released yet
You're an idiot. Nice way to out yourself. Please leave and never come back.

>>10608854
Oh man did I just DREAM that paris release yet, then???

>>10608828
I'm sad so many people went for those shitty quality bags. Recent AP plush is trash-tier and I regret my purchases.

>>10608889
Nobody actually cares about your opinion though. People are going to buy what they like regardless if it’s something you personally like or not

>>10608891
>you are only allowed to post in this thread if you suck ap’s dick

>>10608893
The world doesn’t revolve around you and your opinions

>>10608891
You missed the point. I think the recent plush has been cute. It's not that I don't like it, it's that the quality is horrendous. Think "buying brand, but receiving a replica."

I wish someone had warned me before I bought some of the recent AP plush because I was so disappointed, I threw them in the back of my closet. I can't wear them because I hate them, but I also can't resell them for retail knowing how shitty they are.

If people know how bad the quality is and still choose to buy the bear bags, go for it. I'm just sad for the people who are expecting pony tier quality and get an arcade prize instead.

>>10608895
sounds like you’re coping that you got into ap during its worst era

>>10608896
Nobody cares

>>10608896
Anon what plush did you get? I was considering getting one the next time they release one

>>10608896
Did you get the face bag?

>>10608896
Sadly, I have to agree. I have a first release Milky Bear and ordered the lavender one with the MTO and if I didn‘t order it directly I might’ve thought the lavender one was a replica. And the newer bunnies are just as bad. It’s just saddening to see how bad they have gotten: cheap chunky fur, mis-placed eyes or noses, wonky stitches. The plush bag quality dropped exceptionally low.

>>10608901
>>10608902
I got the MTO Lyrical pouch, the recent lyrical bunny face pouch, and the good night bunny bag. All of them had defects and the fur is shiny/thin. The good night bunny pouch was the most disappointing.

I didn't get the bear face bag because the others made me too wary. I don't think I'm going to buy any new AP plush again.

>>10608766
the bunny ears in pink and in white, and the lovely gingham ring in red. The site was so slow I just chucked things in my bag and checked out lmao

>>10608848
>I have no clue where Japan gets it's cotton from

so anyone score within the 5 minutes everything was in stock for with the site completely crashing?

>>10609033
When I finally connected everything was sold out.

>>10609033
>>10609037
As annoying as the site crashing is, I'm happy maybe this draws more attention to how unprepared AP is to handle demand.

>>10609033
Yellow was sold out when I got the page to load for the apron skirt. The other colors were still there, but I was only trying for yellow.

>>10608829
Who got a blouse? The time zone is bad for me, I only get things that don’t sell out. I wasn’t sure if other people liked the off the shoulder but I think it’s very cute and like the way that style fits my shoulders

>>10608718
Meta and BTSSB have prints with blueberries if you don’t mind secondhand. I love AP but it’s true they don’t have much print theme diversity

>>10609052
AP could do an awesome blueberry print. if they think blueberries are too dark, they could put them on a cute winter print or something.

>>10609057
It combines well with lavender. It could also pop well on white like they do with strawberry prints.

>>10608718
She clearly likes the idea.

>>10608718
i wonder how much say she has regarding her collaboration prints' themes? i haven't read any interviews with her or anything, so maybe it's mentioned somewhere. i'm curious if AP comes to her with "we want teapots and creepy bear-babies" or if they let her go buck wild

>>10609080
Really wondering if there’s a print from her in the summer lookbook

>>10609086
I hope not. Her prints have been trash for years.

>>10609061
God, I would give so much for a blueberry on white dress.

>>10609080
I bet they just tell her a season - "spring/summer 2022", maybe at most a vague theme like "marine". Then she sends them a few sketches and they pick which idea they want to pursue, like most design jobs. Then some tweaks to layout and color balance.

>>10609033
I managed to grab everything I wanted, but I was only going for accessories this time - the print is a bit meh this time around.

>>10608896
I got the milky bear face bag and I think it's adorable and can't see anything wrong with the quality. The fur is so soft and full and not shiny at all. The white nose is a bit shinier but I don't mind. Overall I can't see anything wrong with it.
I'm not denying you had a bad experience with the other bags I just thought people might be interested to hear about the face bag in case they are considering it.

>>10609116
I have it too, and while I definitely love it, it’s not as good as the old ones. Some of the fur on the ears on mine are loose and need to be trimmed.

It’s definitely not trash, but it’s not godly either. At this point we’re paying for design

>>10609116
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm still kind of skeptical just because I got burned.

The fur on the newer plush is still soft, but soft for me doesn't equal good, necessarily. Some of the worst polyester fur is still "soft." It's so soft, it's limp.

The shininess was apparent in stock photos and photos I've seen online from coords. It looks like the same fur used on the three plushes I was disappointed by (if you have any of the ones I mentioned in my earlier post, I'm interested to know if it's in fact the same fur). I'm sorry for doubting your assessment, but hopefully one day I can see the bag in person and see if what you're saying is true!

Any gulls manage to snag any AP from closet child today?

>>10609132
No, I was asleep. Did you get anything? What caught your eye?

>>10609145
I didn't but woke up and saw the email for it + had a quick browse and there were a lot of good things available! Probably would have been difficult to get

>>10609146
I also saw the email. Some really good things but so much gone so quickly!

>>10609078
I would really be shocked if she did blueberries in my lifetime. Or if anyone did. I would probably shed some tears of joy.

>>10609155
I would have thought that the site went to that "traffic" page a lot and things were gone in seconds from what I've seen

Lookbook pictures?

>>10609178
Yes probably!

Please someone scan lookbook pages soon, I have been thinking of what possible wonders that damn book could be holding since they gave us the grain of sugar that is the front cover.

>>10609182
>>10609228
I can do scans when i get it but maybe some anon is quicker than me

>>10609132
I only managed to get the Romantic Lacy blouse after trying for two dresses and failing. It looks questionablely faded, but was ranked A? Not sure how it'll be in real life.

Missing the Twirling Ribbon OP killed me. I was paying for it and the page was loading for confirmation, but it sold out. I went back and tried for Candy Fairy, got payment to load again, and it sold out. So if I had gone for Candy Fairy first, I would have gotten it. It stings. But I never actually have hope of getting the best AP items for the night. I luck out with a consolation item every now and then.

I want the sweet boom to die so CC can go back to being manageable. My brain is so certain that secondhand will always be hellish now though.

>>10609284
It might just be their lighting with the blouse.

Yeah all the JSKs went so fast. I tried for Candy Fairy even though there will be an mto and another one I can't remember the name of and because the site wouldn't let me through multiple times I lost them just like you!

I know how you feel when you're redirected to your cart and see the red writing

>>10609314
At least missing out on Candy Fairy isn't life or death now. The MTO has different lace/tulle, but I'm sort of hoping maybe people sell the old Candy Fairy once the MTO is fulfilled. They probably won't, but
I can dream.

>>10609322
It might happen a bit like honey cake!

>>10608592
I wish it came in red, and maybe blue.
