I'm really wondering what the new VIP threshold will be. Paris already said it won't necessarily be 1k euros (probably because way too many people spent that just to get on the list). I kind of hope people complain about the moving target. Why couldn't the VIP list just be extra coupons/free shipping/maybe even a lottery for special items?

I wish Paris would go back to regular releases only. It always felt kind of dumb that the whole VIP list started because people wanted a leg up on each other and wanted to secure items easier. I wish Paris didn't bend over backwards when they know releases will always be bloodbaths. This past release was so much better because the entire inventory (for accessories) was made available. It gave everyone (VIPs and regulars) more time to check out.

In general I think all of this bodes badly for AP. They keep trying new methods to make releases "better," but it's just them changing things around in hopes that it distracts us from how poorly they've handed their issues. The VIP list at a set spending amount is not sustainable. The lotteries in Japan are not going to keep people happy.

Sorry for blogspot. Feeling cynical today.

The solution for this is to just...make more dresses. The kinds their customers want. Even Bodyline did a survey on what customers wanted to see more of ffs, AP could easily do so and have an ever better idea of trends and what will sell if they are really so afraid of not selling out every release and the hype going away. The least they could do is try to improve the amount of traffic the sites can handle without crashing.

Eh, most of her accessories are like, similar but not exact copies, and if AP doesn't want to make more money and someone couldn't get the AP version, then fuck it, cause they wouldn't have ever been able to spend their money at AP anyway. It's not like it's a Chinese factory making print replicas. It's a small shop making stuff that goes well with AP that is not passing itself off as AP.

I don't buy from her cause none of it is my style but at this point AP has no one to blame but themselves for people having to turn elsewhere for acessories because they aren't attempting to meet demand.

I bet you they are not doing VIP because the masses who spent ~1500 are asking for it - they're doing it for the handful of tippy-top whale spenders, and the rest are getting it as a fringe benefit. So they won't give a shit about the 1500litas who get upset about a moving target, so long as the top ~5 customers are satisfied.

AP didn't invent a ruffled half apron kek, yeah some of the stuff is a straight rip (some of the patches, the visor clearly is inspired by if not a direct copy, it came out after the runway pics but before the JCT release)

Tbh I don't care if someone is getting paid to make small quantity replicas on occasion of hard to find or really basic shit. A heart apron like BABY's or half apron like AP's are hardly new; heck I have made my own items for myself (not for sale) that are inspired by brand releases of smaller or common accessories that I liked certain aspects of but didn't find worth burando prices or were out of stock.

I truly wish AP would just make it possible for people to buy more of their stuff by making more of it. I know it's not an easy task to always keep up with production, but people love/want basics from them and they only really release them in limited quantities. I can sew my own so I'm not going to turn to people making dupes, but I'm sure people who aren't used to making lolita items might if they really can't find anything from AP and don't want to buy from scalpers (some items are in such high demand lately even scalpers haven't gotten very much though).

Ayrt, I mostly feel the same. I don't buy from her bc I don't really like her stuff and the things I might (the aprons) are so simple I have made my own in styles I like better. The clips are also usually in stock for a while on the AP site so it is more likely to take customers away from AP than fill a gap in stock that AP isn't producing enough of. But I can see why desperate people may want the stuff and it's hard to say they're horrible replica buyers for wanting a simple embroidered apron or are super desperate for a tacky visor that was impossible to get

making stuff for yourself =/= taking commission money to recreate AP fakes for profit

>> No.10598754

>>10598743
Like I said, I think the dupes are questionable and I don't buy them, but I see why people would want them if they already tried and can't get the real deal. Apron argument is again dumb tho bc tons of brands released half aprons before AP released their most recent ones, but no one is saying AP copies them. Fluff Mollie had sheer half and full aprons for a while before AP released theirs this year or last didn't they? Different with the little fillings and all, but even Bodyline made half aprons.

I would much rather AP just make more stock, but it makes me sad to see anons miss out on cute stuff so I recommended it as a last resort (we all know the USA release will be miserable and even still the majority of people won't get what they want). Is the solution for them to buy from scalpers since that indirectly supports AP? Genuinely curious. I know the ultimate solution ethically speaking if you're worried is to go without completely and pray a non scalper sells it secondhand later on, but as far as missing out in a release and options to get the item within the next few months if at all, are scalpers better than the dupes?

If it was just the aprons, sure, you'd have a leg to stand on. But there's a history of them doing this with the animal ear headbands, rip off mascot patches, the copied hats and visors etc.

The only thing that would make this even more perfect is if AP rereleased those Lyrical Bunny wristcuffs again, but since they did already around easter last year and there seem to be new wristcuffs for this, it seems unlikely.

Shopgirl-chan ruined this thread. Prior to her existence there wasn't constant spoonfeeding or shitting up/derailing of the thread over pointless speculation. It was an issue before of course but any thumb-sucking autistic fat womanchild can walk into this thread, spout literal gibberish, and be spoonfed. Here comes the fucking airplane. You should know by now that AP releases on any model they damn well like. That is if you care to buy any of the gathered shiny $300 garbage bags that they place in front of a white wall every week. It's because they have a detrimentally cult-minded following (of newfag retards like you) who will snap up any crumb of their shitty plastic nu-brand they can get, despite none of it being on par with what they've made in the past. You guys bitch and whine about the degradation of APfag culture when you're the literal reason it is a zombified rotting corpse. Kill yourself.

Agreed but I’ll take it a step further and say I hope she gets fired from whatever position she holds at AP or gets her connection fired. There’s no real value in the information she’s giving us as it’ll all release within the season, but there is without a doubt some violation of contract going on when it comes to whoever is working for AP and leaking this information. It does nothing but cheapen the brands image.

Anon upthread was sperging about how they hope she gets fired because she is sooo terrible for AP's image, as if AP's issues with stock, websites crashing, and before 2021 lackluster releases overall aren't all factors that play way more into the perception of their brand than leaks on a taiwanese basket weaving forum.

I’ve seen a lot of shit takes on this board over the past year, but this is by far one of the shittiest takes of all.

I think the closure of PULL has something to do with it; a lot of girls migrated to lolcow and soon found their way here, except the latter is their only experience of imageboards and the end result is shit like

Anyone notice that the different colorways of Moco Moco Bunnys wristcuffs were differently sized? I got the pink, sax, and yellow pairs and the sax pair was noticeably smaller (which actually fit my wrists better).

And lastly, maybe a stupid question but - have AP secondhand sales in Japan moved off mercari/fril? There's almost nothing being posted anymore. Or is the market just dry now? Thoughts?

I was lucky and got the white JCT visor and yellow Colorful Star blouse from the Paris restock, and just got the pink OP since it was in stock! I’m going to try and get the white JSK from APUSA’s release, I just hope the site won’t crash horribly although that is wishful thinking!

I only have the black pair of Moco Moco Bunnys wristcuffs but that is really interesting, I wonder if production got mixed up for the sax? Glad it worked out for you in the end though!

I’ve been able to find some good deals on Fril/Mercari, so it may be a combination of people snapping up listings and people opting to sell to secondhand stores like Closet Child for convenience since the Closet Child releases these past few weeks have been super good (they’re too late for me to stay up and try so I just look at sold out listings wistfully), but those are just my two cents!

I wish I had the black colorway to compare! My yellow and pink pairs are about the same size as each other and are a bit big as people have described. The sax are my favorite anyways!

I've seen some good items lately on CC too (that stupid Milky Planet headbow...). In general it seems like the volume of items on mercari/fril is down. On one hand it's okay because I haven't had as much FOMO, but I also miss finding good things.

Yeah pretty much what I was getting at. There's the AP fans who really like a print and then there's the ones who like it cause other people like it. The latter usually sells off their no longer hyped pieces and those who really just wanted the print can get it as long as they're patient.
Certainly pieces are always an exception, naturally, but it's a general rule of thumb.
Would be a lot different of an issue if AP had better stock but for some reason, they like being the hype beast lolita brand more than they like money.

This is very much a last minute decision, especially in the current situation. If you look at the Laforet Golden Week announcement, you'll see that in the bottom they say that "other related accessories" (the ones that aren't OTK socks and head bows, since these are listed separately) may go on sale on a different date. So they sorta expect to release everything at once, but reserve the right to split the release. I would bet on the JCT model, but this is just my personal assumption. I really hope they don't though, since huge releases increase the chance of their website crashing.

I actually thought Moco Moco Bunnys were on the thicker side. But that's in comparison to something like the Whip Collection OTKs. Thick for me would be Dream Fantasy OTKs or older socks in general like you said.
I'm kind of nervous because I ordered some socks, but my thighs are kinda large. I'm around 5'6" and 130 lb (so average?) and carry most of my weight in my butt and legs. I noticed recently that AP's newer socks are both thinner and tighter than older pairs. I feel so fat.
