/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Discuss. Anyone got it yet?

The website is broken.

Through a shopping service?

I have an SS trying to grab it for me, but I'm doubting I'll get it, so I'm trying to get it online too.

>>6715054
Who is your SS?

>>6715056

Chibi Tenshi.

>>6715058
You'll probably get it then. Sendai doesn't have a massive lolita population.

>>6715062

She's got a lot of girls on her list, unfortunately, and it's two items per customer unless she's got multiple shoppers grabbing it for her.

>>6715066
Nicole isn't even doing the shopping, she's out of town and has a friend doing it for her fyi...

>>6715077

I know, I mean unless she has multiple friends on hand.

>>6715040
don't get why anyone would even bother with the site, it's going to error out when you attempt to add somethign to your cart anyway...

>>6715089
well it's not even up yet so i guess there's no clue on when its going up internationally either dx

>>6715091
There never is a time release for international... I think peopel are hammering it because they think the announcement for AP US somehow applied to the international site at 1pm in Japan...

>>6715089
People have successfully gotten them on the site before but what's shitty is that when you check out with it, they sometimes refund you.

So don't think that you got it just because you paid.

>>6715099
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?

>>6715099
uh it's not even up, I mean the site is errorring out and it's going to error out when you attempt to add something to your cart too...

>>6715100

Happened to Cadney (?) with Gloria, I think.

>>6715094
mm isn't the average time between arrival dates and release dates for the international site like a day or so for popular prints? Whip showcase went up pretty quick didn't it?

>>6715100
No they are saying in the past peopel have gotten releases. it's not up on the site.

>>6715106
i meant the part about being refunded, i know it's not on site yet.

>>6715121
oh yeah, i've heard of that happening a lot with popular releases :\

Got it in lavender but after seeing it in sax on the Japanese site I want that version. How easy do you guys think the trade will be?

>>6715129
Which SS?

>>6715129
Which version did you get?

>>6715129
I will trade you anon. Which lavender pieces did you get?

>>6715129
Depends on the cut. Lavender is the most popular color though... the biggest challenge would be to find someone else who actually was able to get it.

>>6715149
awesome thanks!

>>6715105
I've seen International stock 2 hours after, or 5 hours after AP Japan. That's why people are hammering it.

>>6715133
Private friend doing an exchange program over there, she's not a loli and I gave her $50 to do it. She messaged me saying she got 3rd in line <3 and then sent me one saying she'd nabbed the set <3 loving her forever

tulle lavender jsk version + socks + headbow. Kinda want the tights now too and maybe the bonnest instead

>>6715150
Grats anon! Nice friend :) Lucky too!

>>6715150

Lucky anon! I really hope I can get mine.

Congrats!

>>6715154
>>6715158
Thanks guys, I fo feel lucky - I know some SS got like 20th+ in line and that would suck so I was pretty happy ^^

Good luck to everyone else with the international and USA sites!

>>6715040
So they give out the numbers the day before? Asking because I saw a SS put up a picture of a lot number yesterday or even the day before yesterday... i figured they gave out the numbers while you were in line this morning?

>>6715170
Did the SS say it was the number for this, or just show the image while explaining there was going to be a lottery? I totally saw a SS post a number from an old one a couple days ago when talking about the concept.

>>6715170
You wait in line to get a lottery number to tell you what number you are in line. So even though I'm first at the store I may get number 18 and have to wait for 17 other people to go through first. It's all done on the day otherwise shopping services who might post what number they have would get swamped if it was in the top 10.

>>6715177
Ah then we are talking about the same SS then. Ok, I was confused why they would hand out numbers two days early.

omg ap just put it up already!!!!!

AP HURRY UP
I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF

>>6715248
>>6715245
This is how I feel.
Something tells me it will not go up tonight though

>>6715250

Looks like two days of no sleep for me then. I can't leave my computer for a second in case it goes up.

>>6715253
my boyfriend has been judging me for walking around with my laptop all night.
I should not even buy it wtf ap why you do this to me, but I am going to try to go for two and scalp the shit out of one so I can pay for both.
Ya it makes me a shitty person but I want it, and money.
I also can't decide between lavender and sax so there is that.

>>6715250
I've been awake sine 2pm waiting for this! i need sleep!!

>>6715256

I'm in the UK. It's five thirty AM right now, and it looks like I'll be sitting here all of tomorrow, trying not to sleep.

>>6715256
AM omg see! i can't even type any more i am going off the deep end!!

>>6715257
omg! exactly the same!! are you my twin!!! all night he's been like just go to bed! buy it another day and i'm like uh! do you know how much money it will cost in the next couple of day!!!!

>>6715257
Same. I already have one full set for certain, and I'm waiting on the international site to try to get another purely for scalping purposes. Because fuck bitches, get money.

>>6715265

How much do you think it'll go for second hand?

>>6715265
Lucky! my ss has just up and disappeared. been trying to contact her to see if she got my stuff! yunni has better updates!!!!

>>6715271
I would bet 500-700 for the first few days/weeks.

>>6715275

What about the skirt? It's the skirt I want. Any colourway.

>>6715271
If I get the tulle JSK, bonnet and tights, I'm thinking $700, but I also might put it up as an auction. Starting at $500. Muahahah.

>>6715274
Sorry to hear that. Maybe she's taking a nap because she had to wake up so early to get to the store.

>>6715275
true dat!

>>6715245
>>6715248
I know the feeling T_T I've been checking for the last 3 hours and I feel like an idiot, glad I'm not the only one though.

>>6715250
Nooo don't say that!

>>6715257
I know! After seeing the japanese store's colourways my resolve for lavender went out the window!

>>6715271
$500 easy. I've got my SS going for a set but I'm also trying to get it myself online in case the SS can't get it. if I get both. scalpscalpscalp

I'm in Australia, it's 3.30pm. 8) yay BUT I'm gonna be up at 5am to try and get the SF one if I can't get it today xp

What are the bets Yunni got overwhelmed and has vanished with everybody's money?

>>6715279
How are you guys going to get around the site erroring out? It's going to error out when you try and add to your cart... do you just keep trying? And if you do and it shows up with like 5 in your cart what then? I don't think you'll have time to edit the quantity, and even then, it will probably error out updating the cart then...

>>6715287
If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

>>6715278

Seconding this?

>>6715287
Pray, more caffeine and pray.

>>6715287
one can only try anon! ...one can only try!

>>6715284
she's already giving refunds, I got mine yesturday when she told me how far down the line I was. She's being really good with this release and no it doesn't excuse her previous action but I feel she's really excelled this time round.

>>6715287
sshh stop drowning my dreams. Persistence, luck and hope?

>>6715290
heh, there's no way to get around the errors rofl

>>6715287
My boyfriend's beast of a custom built gaming computer is mine for the night to buy frilly dresses.
He is quite mad about it.

>>6715298
mine is playing games on it! :( a-hole!

>>6715298
Uh it doesn't matter about how fast your comp is lol, it's the server's capacity for the web site

>>6715304
It is that, yes, but it will still cut a few seconds off loading times.
And a few seconds is all I need.
And luck, lots of luck.

http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_399501778.html
Wasn't long.

I admit I liked this dress, and I can be happy for the few who wind up getting it. But this is getting too crazy for me. And I honestly feel a bit disgusted with myself for coveting and obsessing about it for as long as I did.
It's a wonderful series, but I think I'm gonna walk away with my dignity this time. Goodnight and good luck.

>>6715298
my boy toy's gaming beast was erring just as pathetically as my laptop.

>>6715307
No, it won't. It's all up to the web server. Your processing power has nothing at all to do with it lol

>>6715297
There's no way to get around the server connection timing out, but there is a way to maximize efficiency and accuracy. Control for what you can.

>>6715312
Oh i already know that. That still doesn't really get around if the server will take the request to add something to your cart over and over.

>>6715308
>http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_399501778.html
new account, no feadback, low price?

>>6715308
>http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_399501778.html
god it's the one i wanted to!!! :(

>>6715308
>http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_399501778.html
SHIT JAPONICA.

I paid the invoice for that like 10 minutes ago. WHY YOU NO BIDDED?

seriously. I did.

Oh well. The seller had zero feedback and that scared me a bit.

>>6715313
You're right, I'm refreshing an internet page occasionally, I'm thinking about which cute dresses I prefer, what has become of me!? I--I'm a monster!

>>6715323
I think they are referring to the people literally saying they will stay awake for 48 hours...

>>6715317
Fair enough. I think we understand each other but we will have to agree to disagree.

>>6715313
Goodnight anon, at least you gave it a shot. Though I'm not sure how one can can 'lose their dignity' over this. True I've been talking about the dress to those interested for a while now and yes I'm soliciting various SS and such but I'm enjoying the hype, the wait, the rush. It's fun, like a kid waiting for christmas only it's a race to see who gets the gifts ;D I'll probably also stalk it on the comm sales too when I can save up enough for it. I do feel like I wasted the day but if I get it it'll be worth it and if I don't it won't be for lack of trying. win/win

ok so miu miu and yunni are both reporting that they dropped the ball and couldnt get around the 2 items limit. its been fun bitches, time to go get our money back

>>6715327

I'm the staying-up anon. It's no problem for me; my sleeping pattern is really odd, and sometimes I don't sleep for days at a time, but other times I feel as though I could sleep for a fortnight. It's just the way I'm made.

>>6715327
Feeling "disgusted with yourself" for staying up late for a release of a thing you like is still pretty ridiculous.

Also
>mfw anyone believes people are actually going to stay up for 48 hours

>>6715329
that's hilarious. But I thought yunni's problem was she was like...100th in line and there's nothing left to buy in store.

>>6715329
whaaa! noooooo!

I really really wish that AP would go to a system like JetJ has of taking as many orders as people want to buy and then making them. At least for something like this that they know will be insane.
Sadly the way they are doing their releases is not making me salivate with brand loyalty and want more due to the scarcity and is rather pushing me into the "I don't care if there are fucking replicas... they treat their customers like shit" mindset.

>>6715348

I agree, I think whipping up a frenzy is ultimately a bad idea. There are people who will miss out on things they desperately want and will despise the brand forevermore.

>>6715348
The entitlement is strong with you. Since when is having limited-run goods synonymous with treating your customers like shit? Have they ever maligned you? Cussed you out? Thrown you out of a store? They have a product, they have a system, one could even say they have a "tradition." If you don't like it, don't spite it.

>>6715329
>>6715329

just got a message from yunni saying she couldnt get my items but she'll look on mbok wtf?

>>6715355
"I already spent your money but let me make it up to you by finding you a scalped item~!"

>>6715355

If it turns out Chibi Tenshi managed to get my item, that girl is getting a big fucking tip.

So who's buying two to sell one to Oo Jia?

Does anyone think that AP will see what a fucking frenzy this has been and do a re-release fairly quickly?

>>6715368
10/10. I mad.

>>6715369
i hope so

>>6715353
not really entitlement. Just that my brand loyalty them is at about zero right now... whereas IW and JetJ have made things easy to get and have been accommodating to me.
My brand loyalty to them is very high. I like AP's clothing so I would love it if my sentiments matched my sentiments towards their competitors. As it stands I would rather buy from IW or JetJ than deal with having to jump through hoops to get a (admittedly adorable) dress.

>>6715377
tbh I find this idea both strange and wonderful. On the one hand it would mean everyone who wants one, gets one. But it's not a practice I've ever seen with known western brands. Limited stock numbers are usually the rule no matter where you go and the exclusivity is part of the appeal because you'll always know you've only got one of a few hundred instead of a garment produced for the masses en masse. The purpose is to generate sales while also making the consumer feel special, that's good marketing.

>>6715377
>"brand loyalty"
>to three different brands
No, sorry, you just buy the dresses that appeal to you like everybody else, you're not a brand devotee, and they don't owe you special concessions to keep up your "brand loyalty." If you find waiting and wishing for a dress so stressful and not fun at all, you are welcome to stop buying AP.

But you won't, because it's fucking fabulous.

>>6715377
I can get behind everything you just said. It's completely understandable if you find it more comfortable and enjoyable to shop from other brands. But it's not right to call AP's customer service shit because you don't like how they do releases.

>>6715329
When did miu_miu announce that???

>>6715388
>>6715388
got an email from her with a few other people's emails attached so its a mass message

>>6715390
fuuuuu i havent gotten anything! wtf!

>>6715368

Only getting it to send to Oo Jia & scalp.

>>6715397
please send her the lavender one.
Thanks

love,
replica chan

I think the first time I ever bought lolita was the Mr. Yan So Dreamy Sale. I remember sitting with you girls and refreshing desperately trying to stop the site from freezing up and keeping everything in the cart. I rabu rabu you /cgl/.

you guys seriously like this dress? It doesn't even look well made.

>>6715437
yeah you can really pick out all the construction details from that 280x373 picture

>>6715442
I'm not trolling, it really doesn't look well constructed to me.

>>6715446
Enlighten us.

How is it still not up!? T_T

Just hurry up AP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D:

>>6715451
pretty sure it's not going up tonight.

>>6715451
I don't think it's going to happen. I've never seen a release go this late before.

Maybe the person who said this was in store only is right.

>>6715454
>she says, hoping the other lolitas will go to bed and she'll have all the dresses to herself

>>6715459
whaaaaaaat? neeeever!

What time is it for you poor souls?

>>6715462
almost 3am

>>6715040
wonder if rosaire got cadney her dress

>>6715462
Its like 5 in the aftrenoon and i am begining to hate AP

>>6715448
It's... just an opinion? Like the other anon said, it's not like you can see the details in a photo like that, and maybe it looks better close up, but to me it looks wrinkled and puckered, and the overlay looks like it's attached funny. It just gives off a "cheaply made" feeling, which is unusual for AP...

>>6715466
Heeey time zone buddy! Where you at?

>>6715466
Me too, bro. Me too.

>>6715454
>>6715457
lies! Also if it was in store only why would it go up on the ap japan site? Also the international site has the new print images up which usually means it goes up.

>>6715462
it's only 5pm here

>>6715469
It is an opinion based off of what you're seeing. I don't see what you're seeing from this picture. How can you even tell how the hip flaps are attached lol. The print has stripes... maybe it's tricking your eyes into seeing things that aren't there... you can't even see seams to see if they are puckered.

>>6715462

Ten to seven in the morning.

>>6715475
queensland?

>>6715478
Brisbane ;D you?

>>6715468
timezone buddy!

>>6715467
she posted on tumblr about refreshing so likely not.

>>6715482
BAHAHAHA I shouldn't find this funny but I really hope Cadney sulks on tumblr after this.

>>6715481
Townsville! was a Briz loli :)

HOLY SHIT ITS UP START YOUR ENGINES BITCHES!!!

>>6715490
bad person

>>6715490
suuuure it is!

>>6715490

No it's not?

>>6715490
eat my anus

>>6715490
lol i was waiting for someone to do this

Woo! Wasting my day off sitting on a computer waiting for a release I doubt I'll get!

>>6715490
damn it all!

>>6715498
What else would you be doing?

>>6715489
Hey I bet you know my sister!

>>6715505
ahah lol i am talking to your sister on fb right now! :D

I know ya'll are freakin' out and scrambling, and I figured this question was thread relevant enough, but I pretty much just wanted the ivory tights from this series to pair with Twinkle Carnival. Would that look really off paired together?

>>6715457
They did lucky packs this late on international, but I'm going to give them 10 more min before I call it a night.

>>6715508
small world!

>>6715510
i think so, very cute! goodluck!

>>6715512
Is it imposable that there site is 500'ing so much on them too they can't update it?

>>6715512
What time did the lucky packs come out?

>>6715513
yup! :)

>>6715514
yep.

I'm 99.9% certain that they have to manually add the items AFTER AP Japan releases them, so yes, everyone kicking the server in the shins would, as far as I know, make it practically impossible for them to release it.

>>6715514
No, the update would come from the backend. The error from all the users pinging the web server wouldn't be interfering with that.

>>6715516
The did multiple releases, but at least one of them was 3AM EST

Am I the only person who now hates Whip Show Case with a burning passion?

So...anyone wanna share what items they're going after? I'm in it for the lavender or sax tulle jsk + socks and headbow.

>>6715526
I hate it more each time I f5

>>6715528
Ivory OP. I would actually maim someone to get it.

>>6715528
Ivory tulle JSK

>>6715524
When they add new items, they flash up for a split second before they are hidden. Thus, IMHO, their back end is most likely a web-based interface. The error 500 that is being generated is a server level error, not a connection error. The server itself is choking.

So, it's like trying to locally view pages on the server during a DDOS attack. Unless you physically unplug the machine from the web, you are just as screwed as the people trying to get to the site, because the issue is the server not being able to keep up with the requests, not the pipeline being too small.

And even then, they probably aren't local to the machine, so they would still have the issues with the clogged connection as well.

>>6715528
Ether jsk in sax or lavender.
I think my first choice is lavender though, I have sugary Carnival in sax and Twinkle carnival in ivory so don't want it to be too similar.
Or I will cut some bitches.

>>6715528
Lavender Tiered JSK (which is the one with the tulle on either side) + Headbow + Tights.

>>6715528
lavender plain jsk tights and headbow.

>>6715541
>>6715537
oh it's on!

Salopette doesn't seem very popular at all, but it is cute.

>>6715528
the thing that is available ;_;

looks like black won't be very popular and I think it looks pretty cute, so probably that

>>6715536
That's all front end. The update to the web page would be coming from a dev environment into the prod environment through the back end, no matter what, which wouldn't be affected by the users hitting the page on the front end. Even then, they probably have it load balanced between several servers (which is why you can switch between tabs and still have the same session) so it's an easy 'flick of the switch' if you will on their load balancer page to update one of the servers and then filter it through the rest.

>>6715526

>>6715547
Granted, I did hardware and application support and web hosting (not web dev) for really heavily hit sites so I'm not 100% but we never had problems with updates in the way that the other anon is asking about, and we had millions of hits (stock market shit like CNN Money, eTrade, Scottrace, etc) per web server

>>6715526
>>6715551
poor whip show case, like the last puppy in the pound

>>6715551
That looks like it could be a Pokemon.

dammit AP >.<

>>6715528

Black Tulle/Regular JSK or Sk and headbow.
Already secured the socks and tights. :D

http://auok.auone.jp/_l?_CODE=%82%A0&_SRC=topsp1_sr&r=fc&gq=1&mem=1&q=Day+dream+carnival+&c

Dang!

Stop it ap.
you want my money,
just shut up take it and give me my dress

>>6715551
>>6715553
>>6715554
You guys win the thread

Thinking of going to bed if it's not up in 20 minutes. :(
Feeling so defeated!

On the dress page, the black OP showed up, marked as sold out. My computer wouldn't display the product info; there seemed to be a long note. I refreshed a moment later, and the OP disappeared. What does this mean?

>>6715575
same!

>>6715547
I don't know what their set up looks like. I understand what you are saying; I'm just saying that I'm not sure that they are set up that nicely.

When they add a series, they put in the photos and the info for an item and a stock quantity of 0, that item shows up on the site, they edit the listing and toggle some setting that hides it. Then, once all the items are added, one by one, they make the items re-appear in stock. And, it seems to take longer when people are hitting the server hard.

There are cart systems where everything is done inside a web-based admin panel on the live server behind a log in. What I'm getting at is that I think this may be that sort of set up, in which case the back-end would be on the front-end of things.

But I don't know.

Sessions are browser based though, aren't they? I don't think you have to have a load balanced server to have multiple tabs in the same session? It's been forever since I did anything with sessions....

>>6715576
judging by poster's below comment it means it might be up in the next hour

>>6715576
don't suppose you got a printscreen?

>>6715578
Actually I apologize, i mixed up load balancing with replication. sure, i get that, if they are silly enough to be changing things like that then it may be affected... but then I wonder how hard ap international was getting hit for LPs? i would assume it would have been just as hard as this... ah well, we'll never see the perfmetrics on their web hits though, and they are probably only running with... maybe 2 web servers... maybe...

>>6715582
F5ing more!

Captcha: Thefeed valuable

>>6715584
No, unfortunately. My computer isn't working right and instead of a bunch of japanese characters, I got boxes.

>>6715582
nek minit - 6 hours later

>>6715578
My real question is this... are they going to update the product pages first, or the front page? heh

>>6715589
I said might! and >>6715578
implied that seeing such short images may indicate possible availability.

>>6715591
it;s usually always the products and then the front page.

can i just say that the fact that most everything in this series is shirred is going to make this impossible to get second hand because now the fatties are gonna eat this shit up

>>6715586

you do understand that everyone F5ing is why it's giving an error, right?

>>6715591
AP international sucks at updating their homepage, if that is what you mean. They went a whole month without updating it a bit ago.

help keep my strong guys! i'm starting to get fed up and just wana go to bed!! :(

>>6715597
As a fatty, can I just say nyeh nyeh.

>>6715598
Ah ok good, then I can close that tab

>>6715600
it's 6pm here and I've been here since 12.30. I feel so bad for wasting the day I'm thinking of calling it quits and just checking this thread + refreshing every 15minutes instead. but if you stay up, I'll stay up? We could IM or some shit over skype.

http://www.mbok.jp/item/item_399537959.html

already...

for shits and giggles! have some Mr yanners guys!!!

How long has everyone been waiting now anyways? I've had the ap window open for night on 5 hours now refreshing =\

>>6715611
Black was the slowest color on the Japanese site, and the Salopette was one of the last main pieces to sell out. Good luck, your battle shall be less painful than the fight to death that is to be waged over the lavender JSKs

>>6715617
at least we'll get a feel real quick of how high resell value will be? 29k yen for the set with 7 days to go...it'll be interesting.

>>6715619
13hrs :( kill me!

>>6715618
9:45PM - 4:08AM. I don't know. it's late. I can't math.

>>6715623
Why would you be on the site when it hadn't even released in japan yet... when have they ever released on the site first

>>6715623
D: I feel your pain anon!
>>6715611
I also say goodluck, you're going for what appears to be the least popular so I hope you get it! ^^

>>6715621
i literally got a chill from that

there was a black salopette in the laforet store still. mi chan posted a pic of it saying it was one of the last things left.

>>6715622
Nah. We just will know what we already know; there is a high demand right now. With popular AP prints, auctions the day of the release sell for more than auctions 3 days after the release, and it goes down from there until it stabilizes. All those people who missed it.

>>6715621
SAVED! xD for those days that get me down

I feel bad, have a photo

>>6715628
was out night before! have now been up waiting on release! :( super hung ova!

>>6715633
the Yandyman can!!!

>>6715634
DDc picture spam (just not stock photos kay guys?)

>>6715639

Boxes for characters anon here. Lavender OP appeared, sold out. Disappeared. Still don't know what the note says. Mentions something about the English site though.

>>6715639

>>6715634
This is the picture that akes me want the lavender jsk but the stock photos make it look much blue-er. =S can't decide. sax or lavender...

The blue has some pretty colors in it.

>>6715652

>>6715652
sure does.

>>6715644
UPDATE: Sax OP just did the same thing.

>>6715650
just saw it anon! it's a note to japanese customers saying they cant order if they live within japan.

>>6715652 Vs. >>6715655
makes me want the blue one, same with that rinrin picture

>>6715659
OMIGAWSH PLEASE LET IT BE UP SOOOON <3

>>6715655

are coord pics or detail pics from brand blogs far enough away from being stock photos?

>>6715662
i know right!!!

>>6715663

>>6715663
UGH I want that OP so much it hurts.

>>6715665

>>6715663
>>6715665
these are too perfect, especially that ivory <3
I'd love to see someone try mori with the ivory jsk actually with a long chiffon robe/jacket thing over the top

>>6715669

>>6715657
i havent refreshed my page because i like looking at it!!! :3

Ivory OP appeared as sold out, no note this time.

>>6715670
The detail shots really make me like the ivory.

>>6715657
IVORY WENT UP

>>6715674
they just forgot to type the note in, no worries

>>6715676
temporarily anyways haha.

so what does everyone think of the chiffon/transparent bonnet vs the rectangular headbow? the bonnet looks interesting to me, love the side detail but bonnets are so hard to wear out in public without looking ridiculous.

>>6715674
>>6715676
so jsks are next right? ;D

>>6715677
It's not disappearing like the others though.

>>6715682
nevermind

>>6715639
Can't decide if Rinrin is cute or weird-looking

>Yunni: And the way that they do it is completely unfair

OH MY GOD RANDOM DRAW SO UNFAIR DESU

>>6715684
She's my rori idoru <3

>>6715685
xD I thought the exact same thing! I bet if she'd got in 1st or anywhere under 10 it would be 'fair'.lol, what a childish response.

>>6715679
i wasnt to fussed on the bonnet at first but after seeing a close up on the detail is really lovely and i may have changed my mind! :)

>>6715687
I wonder how many people reserved with Yunni? Anyone here? Would be nice to get a count

I want this button!

>>6715685
totes unfair guyz....
Even though I broke teh rulez..
sage for no contribution

>>6715690
I bet she took a shitton of people's money too

>>6715681
I think? and either headbows or socks are usually last?

>>6715696
I need to smarten up and add photos AND comments together.

>>6715692
lol tiny violin.

Poor Cadney, want to bet that Rosaire sat on her fat ass again and did not even go to the store?

>>6715701
I wish someone would post that to her SS page I would lmao

>>6715690
She and two other shopping services were my reserves but after one of them reported she was 20th in line and that all the dresses had sold out (while yunni was still saying she wasn't even half way) I asked for a refund

>>6715681

>>6715705
who else did you use?

Black jsk!

>>6715702
her tumblr says she's refreshing so....yeah I'd say that's a safe bet.

>>6715685
BUT ITS SOOOOO UNFAIR WHEN OTHER PEOPLE GET TO BREAK THE RULES AND I DON'T JUST THIS ONE TIME

>>6715662
omg! guys guys they just did the jsk's black went up with a sold out!! hnnnnng!!

>>6715711
But..but guise rules are fun to break! I wrote it in my new kawaiidesu lolita story!

>>6715704
Please someone lol

>>6715714
You mean her vlog

DAMN!! I really wanted the black JSK! Feels bad, man.

>>6715715
but that person would be banned and then they can't see the crazy anymore

>>6715696
So does the stuff go up for sale after everything - JSKs, headbows, etc. is all online, of do things go category by category and whether or not the socks are online doesn't affect when the OPs go on sale?

lol! this is worse then getting Comic-Con tickets

>>6715714
karma is such a bitch lol

>>6715692
how did she break the rules?

>>6715716
her FRENCH vlog?
doesn't she know like, 30 languages?

>>6715702
Oh neeya, when will you remember that rosaire is the one who told YOU that she probably wouldn't be able to make it and that you should try to get it online?

>>6715528
Black doesn't seem popular, and I love the black. But I don't love it enough to go crazy about it. good luck

>>6715708
ashley-rose and m_miu. bad choice at the last I know but ahsley rose was amazing and we were communicating while she was at the store giving me updates on what was still in stock and if I wanted the accessories or not. They sold out of all the lavender stuff before she could get in which sucks but she also offered to use the online site if it hadn't sold out. it did but y'know, the customer service was awesome and her fees very reasonable.

>>6715709
>>6715706
YAY! 100 point to whoever spots the tulle lavender jsk first ;D

>>6715702
But she posted a picture on he group of her and her friend on their way to the store. Isn't it past our bedtime, vandetta-chan?

>>6715727
you seriously have a worse hate boner for neeya than that vendettachan does for rosaire. get some help yo

http://curacannon.deviantart.com/ Check out that shitty deco

>>6715726
i thought she was from korea?

>>6715729
i haven't even heard of ashley rose
she new?

>>6715722
Once everything is added as sold out and the whole series flashes by like we are seeing now, then they all come up in stock. There is obviously someone pressing a button on each item though; it's not instant, there is a delay of a few minutes between the first and the last.

>>6715710
No it doesn't

>>6715724
yes. yes it is.

anyone else getting anything but internal errors now lol? =p

>>6715733
>first time bringing up neeya since she lied about what went down between them

Whatever you say, neeya.

>>6715734
but what is her country? does anyone know for sure?

>>6715735
she's black, isn't she? not korean

Didn't Yunni say she had hired a ton of people to go to the stores too? What happened with that?
Customer comment on her FB that she ignored
>how about your friends? how did they go?
Want to bet she had nobody?

>>6715744
yea I bet that was the case

>>6715738
No, who ever opened 50 windows or whatever, slow it down.

>>6715743
Says she is half Korean

>>6715744
This is what she said:
Daydream Carnival update!!!!

Angelic Pretty has announced the restrictions for the upcoming release. It's the same as any new big print release But it's gotten some people worried.

I can only buy one lavender jsk from a store this true However, I've already prepared for something like this and I've got a team of people working with me for this release.

But if the worst should happen, do not worry, you will be refunded.

Thank you

SO yeah, how about that team...

>>6715747

>>6715750

>>6715748
somehow I highly doubt that..

>>6715748
...HOW?

>>6715738
yup!

>>6715758
Unicorn bag!!

>>6715739
Search 'Ashely Rose - Japanese Shopping service' on fb, she was a sweety the whole time and apologized for not getting me the items I wanted even though I sent her a million messages asking what had or hadn't sold yet haha.

>>6715762
>>6715739
also http://www.ashley-rose.com/shoppingservice/

>>6715762
at least you got a response. I will never use miu_miu again. it's been an entire day and not a word. :/ you would think with fees like that she could at least let a customer know if she managed to get the things they wanted or not.

>>6715767
D: that sucks! Wasn't there a mass email that got sent around though?

>>6715767
jeesus that is unprofessional

Blouse looks nicer here than in the stock pic even though the photo is worse.

>>6715771

>>6715685
Random draw and 2 item per person limit allowing the most people to get something from the series. Yes that is very unfair

Well, if anyone doesn't get the release here, who's trying for AP SF tomorrow? Anyone got a shopping service for them they might wanna send me? I'm not sure how they're dealing with the in store stuff there but at least they gave a time for the online release.

>>6715772

>>6715772
Hope AP does more bonnets like this mmm yes yes good my precious

>>6715771
I fucking love this blouse, too bad about the fifteen thousand yen price tag though.

>>6715767
she was probably too busy looking for stuff in Closet Child to scalp and make up for the loss. Definitely use chibi tenshi next time! No one compares to her.

>>6715776
more bonnets with this kind of detail on this side, not sure if sold on the chiffon(?) material.

>>6715774
are there lotteries for spots and limits at AP SF in person? do you think people are camping out there right now?

>>6715780
I wanted to use her but was too late ):

Print love from utsunomiya

>>6715769
I contacted her through facebook. I sent her one msg throughout the day at about 3 asking for an update cause i didnt want to hound her or anything and now it's 7 and still nothing. :( I'm assuming at this point that no she wasnt able to get anything for me. it's a bummer because her communication started out well.

>>6715785

>>6715782
hope not! that area is so unsafe especially at night.

>>6715783
Same. I've wanted the darn thing since January, but I waited to see the back styles like an idiot.

>>6715782
camping out in deco tents.

>>6715782
that'd be crazy, what time is it there now anyways?

>>6715771
what are the chances of this going up on the site you think?

Nagoya shop blog just updated. They are sold out of everything except the short socks in pink and black, the gloves in black, wristcuffs in black

gosh darn it AP, I could have slept.

>>6715792
i think like 2am maybe?

>>6715792
its 2 am here

>>6715793
has there been a release this crazy before? I know chess chocolate sent a few people up the wall too.

>>6715793

NGL, I think those short socks and gloves are pretty awful.

>>6715799
Gloria?

>>6715803
nope, Gloria wasn't think bad

>>6715803
Gloria crashed AP-Japan's site, and sold out in half the time

>>6715801
Shut your face they are totes kawaii

>>6715803
I really disliked gloria so i didn't realised there was any hype around it.

>>6715806
>>6715803
I think the only reason Gloria wasn't this bad was because it wasn't advertised for like... ANY amount of time before release... it was like we found out about it the week of, then it was released with like... 1 colorway in each style per store... was insanely limited

>>6715807
According to some service there was some stuff left in stores a couple days after also there was only 3 main pieces of Gloria (2 JSK and SK) and less accessories

>>6715808

>>6715811
I only know it did well online; IDK about the real world. I hear there are actual stars and horses there. But you have to leave the internet fist.

>>6715690
There are at least 5-10 people commenting on her facebook posts. They all sound retarded though wouldn't want them as customers

>>6715812
these gloves are so pretty but I've bought ap gloves before and my hands are too small, they look like I could make them for $10 anyways. also...dat satin xp

>>6715816
it's the satin I can't get over. it seems oddly incongruous with the theme.

>>6715799
Oh yea! Milk Planet and Sugary Carnival where crazy, Baby's Cinderella Jewelry and Vampire Requiem( and the re-release) where insane too.

And I think the only time AP SF did a lottery for a new item was when they got the sugary carnival special set because they only had one.

>>6715819
Chandelier too.

>>6715819
I remember reading about that. I love that JSK, but it's like impossible to get a hold of

any flickers lately?

*crickets*

>>6715823
nope, I was also hoping too. I wonder if I dare chance a shower...it won't all go up at once anyways right?

>>6715825
no i doubt it. at this rate it won't be up for hours

>>6715826
not sure what you're basing that off of

>>6715827
how long its taking for the items to flicker. no one has seen anything past a jsk yet.

>>6715830
>>6715823
lav jsk just flickered

>>6715827
Diff anon, but It usually takes 2 hours when the server is bahaving and the collection is smaller than this.

>>6715836
this isn't even true per se. it could be tomorrow for all we know

>>6715834
so they still have to get through all the jsks, skirts, blouses, headwear, and socks.. at this point hours.

why couldn't they just give us an ~approximate time~ ;_;
This is grilling me

Saw the sax JSK

>>6715842
erg. agreed. I might just give up for he next hour and see where that gets me. shower, food and maybe play an mmo for a bit depending on how things are looking after i get back *sigh* here's hoping everyone here gets what they want! I'm also officially going for the sax tulle jsk now.

>>6715843
>>6715834
can we get print screens happening again people? Just so I can preend it's close >:

>>6715838
Sorry, I meant the other direction. As in it's not likely going to be faster than that.

And you are right.

>>6715843
>>6715834
ivory spotted

>>6715849

my captcha typing skills are getting progressively worse

>>6715849

>>6715852

>>6715852
so now they gotta stock all the other jsks and then the rest of the series

>>6715852
wait, you can click on them!? awesome!

question

i'm not into ap at all so this thread has been quite a read, but how did ap manage to hype this print so much, like a few people have said? or is it just that this print appeals to a ton of people, like with chess chocolate? inquiring minds

>>6715858
if you put ponies on it, people will buy it.

>>6715861
this

>>6715858
multiple appeal I think, it has a sweet and classic vibe. it first appeared in december which got people talking snd then in the feb. kera with still no official release date. lots of time for people to save and see it. As more people saw it more people wanted it and more people would want it just for the hype or the scalping opportunities that come with that hype. then on thursday i think they released the official details and images and suddenly even if you had only been checking the ap site you could see it and want it and you only had 3 days until the 'restricted series release' was available which put people in a scramble too. People have been saying they want a toned down sugary carnival print for ages as well as ap to do a unicorn print. this meets both demands.

>>6715861
so true i am a sucker for ponies!!

>>6715866
If they were a bigger, badder and more corporate company I wouldn't have put it past them to up the price just to be asses, people would have paid.

>>6715866
how do you get classic out of this print at all?

>>6715856
i got an error when I tried to click, but maybe I was too slow

>>6715858
Popular motif (carousel/ponies), colors that appeal to both sweet and classic (like ivory for classic and lavender for sweet), and several months of hype (first shown in December, shown in every Kera abd GLB every month since then and also the models and some musicians wearing it)

>>6715870
The ivory print + brown themes. It's not traditional classic but it's like how people were making royal chocolate into those toned down classic looks. The ivory skirt + brown cardi + offwhite blouse, some brown mary janes and a book bag with a hime style haircut and a beret. I'm not sure what they're calling that look nowadays but it's not quite sweet and it's not quite classic.

it's only my opinion though so it really doesn't matter =p

>>6715870
The colors are more muted not bright pastel except maybe the lavender color. Compare it to Sugary Carnival

>>6715873
this person gets it

>>6715870
When I first showed it to my sister she said the ivory tulle jsk reminds her of some country girl's first dance or something

>>6715040
"It's always the luck of the draw. Emma and I were near the front of the line of nearly 100 people but we both drew numbers so bad we wouldn't have been able to buy anything at all, so we resigned to try and get it off of the web shop. I used my iPad and she used my iPhone, and between the two of us and 30 minutes of errors and refreshing, our carts were empty.

Friends reported some stores had around 150 people.

Keep an eye on the international site and AP USA. I will of course bid on auctions if asked.

No refunds were issued because no money exchanged hands since I wasn't sure how many--if any--we'd get. I apologize to those of you who were excited about this release only to be let down.

Let's all hope for a rerelease and therefore a second chance!!"

From Rosaire

>>6715875
I don't know what to call it either, but I get the same vibe from it. I think it's partly the floral and the slightly more mature art style too?

>>6715879
i guess it doesn't matter what time you go stand in line. the lottery is the lottery. the fairest way to do it.

>>6715882
tfw some late straggler rocks up and gets ticket number 1 after everyone's been waiting there hours.

>>6715883
I don't think they want people standing around and waiting.

>>6715040
sax tulle

Did anyone catch if they already went through black and lav tulle?

>>6715879
What numbers did she get?

>>6715887
she didn't say

>>6715886
I just saw ivory which is usually the last one they upload I think?

>>6715887
Does it matter?

>>6715890
The order is black, lav, sax, ivory, I think.

>>6715895
yes

>>6715040
So how many tops are released with DDC? Were there cutsews? Or just that one chiffon blouse?

>>6715897
there ya go, skirts next or possibly blouses? I wonder if they're going to add the other (less common) accessories like the gloves and wristcuffs, I don't see gloves very often on the english site at all.

>>6715901
black salopette just went by

>>6715902

>>6715904
>>6715902
I just want to say this is a fucking asinine way to do this...

>>6715906
Just think, there is some poor shop girl on the other side of this.

>>6715913
isn't it like..7pm over there right now? Who does this stuff that late? I mean I get they would have been busy but isn't there a separate division for the webshops who could have started this process oh I don't know... 8 hours ago?

>>6715916
>>6715913
Uh no this would be a team of web developers and QA people... none of these people would be on the retail side at all... probably all working from home or in cubes in an office.

>>6715916
Someone DDoSed the site so that was kinda impossible

>>6715920
no... it was all the people from around the world sitting on the pages and refreshing (which, actually in the most basic terms, is what a DDOS attack is, just not that high of an intensity as the site itself never crashed)

>>6715040

>>6715924
UGH I keep missing these. Kinda makes me worry that I'm going to miss the actual item go up.

>>6715926
They are only up for a couple seconds anon, don't worry

>>6715926
Also salopettes are on the skirt page, not the jsk page :P

>>6715930
Ok, that would explain a lot.

Skirt in Sax just showed up!

>> went for shower
>> dinner
>> watched some tv
Still not up, but at least this thread has kept me up to date. So after skirts what is there left?

>>6715943
Tops... not sure what's in that collection though... cutsews? Blouses? Then Head gear, then Socks/Tights... then who knows if they'll do wristcuffs and gloves or whatever? I'd say still 2 hours out. At least.

>>6715943
accessories/headwear I think

>>6715946
well there's only the 1 blouse at least in the 5 colourways so that's not too bad. headgear and tights/socks will annoy me though. They're kind of pumping them out now though so maybe just two hours?

>>6715951
Dunno, haven't seen the last of the skirts or any blouses yet...

>>6715955
headbows are up now

>>6715955
the last ivory skirt went past a while ago, i forgot to report it cap'n

>>6715964
I forgive you. This time.

>>6715964
Blouses? blouses? Anyone?

Ivory headbow just went up, so tights or socks next?
Have blouse gone up yet?

>>6715973
bonnets now

>>6715973
Never mind, forgot about the bonnets. Blakc bonnet is up!

>>6715975
>>6715973
>>6715976
Wait, did they skip Blouse?

>>6715976
>>6715975
rofl, caught both

>>6715980

>>6715978
yep, it's not uncommon. just saw the black and lavender bonnet go up together. Might I dare hope this will be up by 10.30? o.O

bonnet in pink up

>>6715981
oh god that made me laugh so damn hard.

or it's the lack of sleep?

>>6715991
Tights are up!

>>6715040
Anyone see any legware yet?

>>6716009
excellent excellent, so i wonder if they will just add blouses later, or are we going to blouses after short socks

>>6716009
Which colorway?

>>6716015
black

>>6716015
just say the lavender ones

>>6716014
we shall soon see! :)

>>6716018
sax went up, these are going up fast

>>6716024
I... have to poop so bad... but I don't want to miss anything

>>6716024
I just saw ivory.

>>6716028
ankle socks next right?
depending on if they do the gloves/wristcuffs this might be up soon! <3

>>6716031
we still don't know if they are completly skipping blouses however

>>6716032
>>6716031
black socks just went up

>>6716031
crew socks up in black

I swear if we all came together and put our skills and tenacity towards solving a murder or something we would be unstoppable! :p

>>6716035
>>6716034
Lav just went up, man they look poopy

>>6716025
i know i gotta pee!!! :(

>>6716040
hold that piss in, we'll get through this

>>6715040
no fucks givens about the socks apparently

Sax crew socks up

>>6716043
What even is that on the front of them? I see some wings but what's in the middle?

>>6716041
lol

>>6716046
ribbon i think

>>6716043
awesome!

>>6716037
we certainly would!
