2012 Angelic Pretty Lucky Bag - A la carte Tea Time ODEKAKE Set

Update: you can see all the options that AP offered for the LPs here:  

Ordering:
It depended if you ordered in the first wave or the restock.

- Good: Very easy to order during the restock. BTW, the white version of the set is still in restock, but be sure to check the shipping and LP price on the International site vs the USA site if you plan to order.
- Bad: If you tried to order during the first wave of LPs it was madness with sell outs on  http://www.angelicpretty.com/en/shopping/index.html
- Ugly: 5 1/2 hour early posting (and then sell out) at  http://www.angelicpretty-usa.com  for first wave

JSK:
-Good: the skirt lining has built in crinoline. There are side pockets. 
-Bad: the JSK is sized for a shorter person and is really high waisted on me and a bit too short (but that is true of most AP JSK)


Bag:
-Good: A proper full sized Boston bag (not the mini me version of a heart bag that came in the BTSSB LPs)


Shipping:
- Bad: It takes longer for AP International to ship then for BTSSB. I paid for one of my BTSSB LPS *after* I paid for AP one, and still got the Baby LP two days before the AP one.
- Ugly: The shipping came to insane amount of 6722JPY and then 50JPY for insurance, so the 21000JPY LP ended up costing 27772JPY. *shock*
According the EMS label the shipping was only 4750JPY, so AP and their shippers really tacked on a lot for handling fees, not thrilled about that.

I was not originally planning on getting an AP LP this season, but when they restocked, I caved. I don't have any AP with border print, and since most of the border prints AP does (that I like) never make it to a discount/sale, I figured this was only way I'm getting AP + border into my wardrobe.
