Tokyo Pirates
Month
I attended AP’s special set release today for a customer wanting the pink. Unfortunately, there were well over 100 people there, and the pink sold out. However, after waiting around so long, I couldn’t resist picking up the infamous yellow colourway for anyone that may want it. In my opinion, it’s not quite as bright as AP’s photoshop makes out, but rather a mustard yellow.
I’ve put the set up on Lacemarket here with photos for the curious so y’all can see it in its full mustardy glory!

I also have a bunch more stuff for sale there. I often have products up that are wishlist items people didn’t need, cancelled items and pieces from my own wardrobe, so please check out my other listings out if you are interested!
Hello all!
Thank you all for your patience during the hiatus. I got back on the 14th and things have been up and running as normal since then.
Quick announcement that auctions have been reduced to 2,000 yen per auction. This is a flat fee regardless of the auction price, and I can also take orders for the fril and mercari apps.
Also, a quick reminder that I will be accepting lucky pack order from the 25th November 10am JST (lucky packs that have not already been released that is, e.g. Liz Lisa, Angelic Pretty, etc.). Any orders made before then, even a few seconds before cannot be accepted. I am also going to be able to attend the La Foret New Year’s sale after all, so I can try to get lucky packs for people then if they want them.
Have a day filled with awesome, people!
Hello! Sorry for the last-minute notice, but unfortunately due to a personal emergency, the shopping service will have to close from 29th - 14th November. I will not be in Japan during that time. After that, it will be available again and running as usual. My sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused!
Hello Everyone!
I’m sorry that I’ve been radio silent for so long! In between moving house and working, I haven’t had much time to update. (>.<) However, I have a few important announcements.
1) The shopping service renewal/relaunch has been postponed until January. The date is as yet undetermined. Until then, everything will be continuing as before, so all services still stand.
2) Auction orders will be accepted again. However, due to the time they take, commission will be a flat rate of 2,500 yen per auction. This is regardless of the price of your item, so even if it’s over 100,000 yen, commission will remain the same. :) I will not be able to take snipe orders at this time - regular bids only, sorry! I am busy right now, and do not wish to risk losing your items due to my schedule. Please be aware that if I get too busy, I may have to suspend auction orders again. If so, I will make an announcement via tumblr, the blog and facebook.
3) Lucky Pack 2015/2016 orders will be accepted from November 25th, 2015 at 10am (Japan Standard Time). Reservations before that exact time will not be accepted. After that time it will be on a first-come, first-served basis. I will have two slots available for the Liz Lisa suitcases. Unfortunately, I cannot take orders for the Angelic Pretty lucky pack release on the 1st January (if they are released on that date), but I will be able to get them after the initial release if they have not sold out.
Thanks for reading through. I’m going to put up a loooong Closet Child update soon. <3
Hello all,
It seems the previous email address (contact@tokyopirates.com) is no longer working. Please send any future inquiries to tokyopiratespost@gmail.com. I have changed the information across my social media, so hopefully that will help. Sorry for the inconvenience! >.<
Hello everyone! :) The shopping service is still on hiatus I’m afraid, but we are working to get it up by the end of the summer new and improved, so thank you for your patience!
I’m actually making this post at the request of a friend who has a Dreamy Planetarium OP in navy. She managed to get her first choice in colour, so is wanting to sell the navy. The price would be 29,730 yen excluding shipping to you, in order to cover the original cost of the OP, shipping (she bought it online) and the Paypal fee. The only remaining cost would be shipping to the buyer. If anyone is interested or you know anyone who is interested please feel free to send me a message here or to contact@tokyopirates.com
If no one wants it, it will be put on Yahoo Auctions. :)
The shopping service will temporarily close from 20th April-1st August. 20th April is the deadline for last orders (in-store orders only). All going well we will be opening again from 1st August, and back to operating full-time including doing online orders. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I hope to be back working full time and with a more efficient and better service for you after the summer! <3
Hello all,
I’m sorry that I haven’t updated the blogs and such at all recently. The shopping service is still running. However, from 1st April, I’m afraid the online service will be stopping. My friend will be leaving Japan which means she can no longer take care of online orders, and unfortunately, I don’t have the time for both online and in-store anymore. (T_T)
In-store shopping will still be available. (^__^)
This is just a quick note to let everyone know that online orders will still be accepted throughout the hiatus. :) In-store orders only will be unavailable. Thank you!
The Tokyo Pirates Shopping Service will be unable to accept anymore orders from now (29th December) until the 30th January. Current orders and lucky pack orders will still be processed as usual.
Sorry for the inconvenience! We’ll be back soon. :)
Hello :) I’m replying to this publicly since I guess a lot of people might be wondering about this. From what I can tell, Angelic Pretty have pulled a lot of their stuff from the website. I believe this is because they will be putting them on sale in January or collecting them for variety packs.
This means they might become available after January again providing they don’t sell out in the sales or all get put in lucky packs. The cutsews might still be in stock at the physical stores if you’d like me to inquire though. :) A lot of the stuff that has been taken off the websites is still there.
Hello! I was looking through the emails from the 14th/15th and couldn’t find anything about a fukubukuro. Turns out it went into my spam folder. >.< Sorry! Spaces are still available. I’ll reply to it now. :)
Hello :) Usually, when something sells out in reserves (like the OP) Aatp don’t restock it. Probably the only way to get it now would be if there are cancelled reserves, through secondhand shop, or if it gets re-released.
Hello. ^^ I would get it online too if I can, but the most popular sell out fast. I can rarely ever get popular items successfully via their website. If online fails then I try in-store. Of course, if I successfully get any online then commission gets reduced to a regular online order, but as I mentioned, chances of success are much lower. :)
There will be online reserves available for some packs on the website an in-store from 20th December. :) The actual in-store free-for-all is going to be the 1st January, I believe.
Hello :) It depends how reserves will go tomorrow. If we can successfully get some at that time, then it will free up space for the January sale. If you can contact me after the 20th I can let you know. :)
