Awful. It actually looks like the waistbow from the first release migrated up to the tits. Now there's nothing to emphasize the waistline and it looks like a hot mess. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt until better photos are released.
>salopette
Doesn't look lolita to me so idc.

It's like AP rereleases prints but they have to add a touch of unflattery to them. Just like the Milky Planet release where they ditched the cute scallops for ugly striped trim, and gave it pig ugly colorways.

I really hope this "royal blue" and that weird lavender they call "sax" is on the way out as far as colors go too. Not enjoying these.

>>7139817
I know, they line up and then get a number order in which to purchase. It's still much more reassuring because physical store has more secure stock (especially in Tokyo), purchase limits (he only takes 1 of each color and/or style), and he's a really cool and serious dood. If you get up at 6 to line up, chances are you won't get a no. 50 ticket, and even if you do a large Tokyo store will have more than 50 items of 1 color and style in stock. I won't miss it over the click of a button or a slow refresh either, and won't need to stay up all night and pull my hair out waiting for confirmation e-mails.

>>7139823
He's not a scalper or reseller, and it's not online. I understand how you can ban or blacklist a known id, but it's impossible to do at a physical location. It's one of the things people complained about at the DDC release, with creepy older men and rude random dudes lurking about trying to get dresses to scalp. Read a weibo horror story where a lolita almost had a dress snatched out of her hands by some obvious scalper guy, and the attendant returned it to the girl who had a number. If he gets a number, is polite, and follows rules, I don't see any reason they would reject him.

All these sour grapes damn.

The AP new release system is rather complicated so maybe you're not totally familiar with it.
They get a number in line, and then draw a random number - which is the number for purchase order. You could be in line at 6am and get #120 for purchase order, or arrive at 10:30 and draw #1 and be first to purchase.
AP has been having limits of only 2 main items,total, not 1 of each color or style.
Even the big stores like Tokyo don't have 50 of each item in each colorway, maybe at the very most 20 or 30, but there have been releases where there's been 5 or less.
AP keeps track of customer purchases via point card, and it's also very easy for them to tell (especially if it's a foreigner) who is breaking the purchase rules and/or who potentially suspicious buyers are, such as your Chinese guy who obviously isn't buying the dress for himself.

Wow, you really don't want me to get one huh? I understand the release system, as in my previous post, and what's so fishy about my SS? Nobody will get turned away at a physical store unless they cause trouble or don't follow the rules. There have never been stories of people getting turned away at physical stores, and denying SS's I've only seen on y!auctions or mbok, where xenophobic sellers can do whatever the fuck they want because it's a private auction. Also why can't a Chinese guy be buying lolita dresses for himself? It's not like Chinese brolitas don't exist, or he doesn't have a girlfriend/wife. Chill out and let's sail this release together. Sheesh I was there for the Dream Sky release doing the exact same thing while girls poached the international site, and I just got congrats and goodferyous. Guess this /really/ is gonna be brutal.

>tfw contemplating getting an OP too now

I don't think so either. Dream sky had 2 - 3 weeks between scan reveal and re-release. Also from the blog and fashion show pictures, there's a few other prints lined up, like donut. KERA is also released on the 10th of every month, so December isn't out yet whereas it wasn't in November's issue. It's bit unlikely to have such a fast release.

I don't understand what you mean? Re-releases don't usually drop the value of the previous release. Especially in the case of if you have a different color (pink or black?) or the re-release is disappointing, like a lot of people are saying about this one. You should be fine.

I disagree. Re-releases always affect the value of the previous release, unless like you said, it's one of the colors they didn't renew.

yeah sounds like you missed it, basically the way the newer site works is instead of adding each item one at a time and then hiding the items (like on the old site, you would actually see them do this and sometimes you could even be quick and add it to your cart before they would hide the item) until they want to release them, they take the site down and throw up the 'coming soon' redirect on all the catagories while they do all the stock adding. Then they remove the redirect and bam, you go to the index page of the item, where everything is added already. Can you remember when you actually saw things go up to the minute? Because I know 1:01 or 1:02am was when the site came back up with all the stock, then they tossed up the redirect again for a couple mins, then they removed it again. Maybe you saw it once the site had come back the second time, and all the popular stuff had already been bought?

I was able to get the sax OP from intl around 2 hours after the Japanese release. There were 3 in stock at the time- I assume one of you here must've gotten the first of the 4. I was already on the page I wanted but every single click let to the over capped resources page. I had to keep refreshing while I was processing my payment. When it got to my paypal, it didn't load the option where I'd select the shipping address on both invoices. I just attached a note and sent Japan Shops a message about it. I really hope my order doesn't get cancelled because the paypal shipping address wasn't confirmed! After that I saw they closed the shop again.

>>7145272
>this relatively new occurrence within a small niche fashion isn't highly studied yet and therefore doesn't exist!!!
There isn't really a way to quantitatively measure the effect of replicas on brands yet because they just haven't been around for very long relative to the rest of the fashion. Plus, there are other factors to consider, like whether we're addressing the market as a whole or only the non-Japan market (which does make a difference since it's fairly regularly confirmed that most Japanese lolitas don't buy replicas). On top of that, brands aren't public entities that release their company info every year to stockholders, so we're in the dark as to their yearly profit. Still, we do have some circumstantial evidence:
>brands directly addressing the int'l community about replicas
>more rereleases
>BPN closing
There may not be a large amount of hard facts to show that replicas are hurting the fashion's brands, but it is obvious that they are affecting them in SOME way, and it's changing the nature of brand in a negative way (not, as some replicachans suggest, in a positive way in that they'll make 200 cm busts or whatever in order to please the people who are too big/poor/slow to the draw to buy brand).

Oh, no no no. Don't blame replicas for that.
They opened up stores overseas that they could not maintain, they did not come up with products that were unique to their brand, and their stuff was so generic that even things that weren't replicas sold better because of similarity and lower pricing.

Replicas have very little to do with that.
>more rereleases

I've been to a release in Osaka. I wore lolita and about half of the other people did too.
There's no need for mobility, really - it's not a mad, crazy rush like Black Friday in the US is or anything. You line up according to the number you drew, there's a rack with all the main pieces so you can get a close look, a table with the accessories for the same purpose, and then you tell a shop girl exactly what you want, and she gets new ones in packaging for you.
Whether or not you get what pieces you want really depends on the luck of the draw with the lottery numbers, not being faster or anything.

I don't even get why people go with SS at all. Int has never failed me. So they changed the limits to two for Misty sky?

I think people were just picking on you since you were so sure your SS would get it. They even turned out right lol. You'd think he would have told you from the beginning he had other orders though.

That blows my asshole and just rubs salt in the wound of missing out on my dream dress. Goddamit, why couldn't my brother pick a different weekend to get married. Meh. Oh well. I'll probably be able to find it for decent prices on Mbok anyways. It's just not quite the same as the excitement of getting your dream dress from the store.

Their JSK price probably includes shipping to them from Japan, so it's not terrible scalping but it still sucks

>So they changed the limits to two for Misty sky?
The limit for main pieces has been two for a while now. It's always two main pieces and they can't be the same style AND same color (i.e. you can't get 2 navy jsks, but a navy jsk and a navy op would be ok)

So he was trying to buy more through the website and 2 main pieces in person?
Wow, way to be a stereotypical Chinese reseller asshole. AP even specifies that you get 2 main pieces TOTAL no matter where you buy (in person or online)

Anyone catch the wrong stock photos being used for AP US's release today? Oh if only it were true! I love the original JSK design. I assume they cataloged the new stock images with the same name as last year's release.

I could get the JSK in that blue color, but I really wanted Navy and I don't wanna spend that much money to settle for my not favorite colorway. Well at least I'll be more likely to get it secondhand now. Eventually.

If you don't mind paying the extra cost, I believe LolitaDesu has two, lavender and yellow. I know a lot of people don't like them, but I like to use them to buy items (Albeit at a slightly increased cost.) that have sold out.

you need to go on your 'my page' and then hit uh... 'my orders' or something and it will have the tracking number there. Since the web site change they don't email them anymore, it's all on your page somewhere. Just click around, I think it's at the top under the 'my orders' link
