Hey there [livejournal.com profile] eglers! As most of you probably already know, Metamorphose has rereleased their Antique Bouquet print in an extremely limited edition set, which was available briefly yesterday for purchase on the website, and was available in stores today. Here is the news page/web flyer about it!



They sold out yesterday on the site in 38 minutes. Many people on egl were disappointed. But they were also available in stores this morning! So, inspired by the sad plight of my good friend who had missed getting her set because of tutoring (oh, how we suffer for our academics!), I hussled my butt out of bed early this morning and trecked over to stand in line with the other faithfuls at the store.

I was blessed with luck, and the ability to buy one of each color!! The pink goes to my friend, so I will make the BROWN and the BLUE available here!! I will auction these off, with the auction ending tomorrow night, Sunday night, midnight Japan time (which is 11am EST US Sunday morning). Mostly I just hope to make these available to those who want them and make sure I cover my expenses, but it wouldn't hurt to make a few bucks for my trouble as well!

Each set comes with:
a SKIRT
a CAPE
a HEADDRESS or BONNET or other HAIR ACCESSORY
SOCKS
BLOOMERS
PANNIER

This is a very very good set, a great deal!! I cannot say what exactly is in each set, because I am not going to open them up to see (that would open a big can of worms with measurements and questions and asking to describe details, and I just don't want to get into all that with these!) Just think of it all as part of the fun!!! But unlike a regular Lucky Pack, there's no icky surprises (A line dresses anyone? ;)) - you know what you get, and the color, and how gorgeous it is!!

Here's the sale page, where you can see samples of the fabrics colors:

These sets were originally 20000 yen. I imagine they will cost *at least* 4000 yen to ship, since they're pretty big (HEY anyone who was able to order one yesterday from abroad - how much did the shipping come to?). I will start the bidding for each at 26000 to ensure I cover my bare expenses... (*Winning bid INCLUDES shipping - you pay exactly what you bid only!)

Just to let you know how very rare these are, yesterday there were 15 of each color on the website (that's for BOTH Japanese orders and orders from abroad). Today in the Osaka store (the MAIN, HEAD store!) there were 1 pink and about 3 brown and 3 blue. That's only 7 in the MAIN store! There are 8 stores total, and I'm imagine each would have a few sets only. These seem to be way way rarer than Lucky Packs. (I say 'seem to be' only because I can't GUARANTEE that's true, but it seems pretty darn clear that these number far far fewer than the fukubukuro!!)

Comment to bid or ask any questions!
(However, I don't plan to open them up, so I can't answer questions about content!)

There is 1 brown and 1 blue.


Current high bids as of midnight Saturday night, 24 hours to go:
brown=30000 yen
blue=38000 yen

Thank you very much! <3

Whoa, I`ve been stalking this thread and I didn`t even see her bid until now.

Thank you so much, if this auction were eBay style, I would have been royally screwed.

So the auction will be opened for another day? Whoopee ... I can probably squeeze in a few hours of shut eye then.

I shall keep a look out at the bidding comment below.

Once again, thanks for being fair.

I sound like such a kiss ass. X________________________X

Thank you!!!

I was at the Meta shop today and there were some pink plastic bags with stuff in them...I wonder if they were the packs people are talking about in this entry.

Yep! That's probably what they were! :)

No, I'll pass if you're going to change things midway through. I got up this morning, saw your comment, saw the auction was still open, made my bid, and then went on with my business. Then came back to see this. No thanks.
