I’m afraid I don’t know how many for sure. At a guess (and this is purely guessing from how quickly they get sold out at popular releases), I’d say that each store branch gets around 15 - 30 of each colourway/style to sell in initial reserves. It’s very difficult to say though since I reckon they probably decrease or increase the amount depending on how popular they estimate it will be.
As for me, I can reserve one of each colourway and/or style. So, for example, I can reserve one ivory JSK and one black JSK of the same shape, or I can reserve one ivory JSK I and one ivory JSK II. Occasionally, I can employ a friend’s help if something is in great demand (though they don’t work as a service so their time is not guaranteed). :)

Hello! It was completely fine for me before, but yes I’ve noticed it’s been a bit buggy the past few days. I contacted Collectstor about it, and they informed me there was an attack on the server, but they’ve used the time to make updates to the website. I checked it, and it seems to be working smoothly now, so hopefully it will stay as smooth as it was before. ^^
Thanks for using the site. ^^ I’ve been browsing through people’s items and I’m excited to search for them! :D

Hello! I’m afraid this series is no longer available in AP. The only way to get it now is secondhand I believe, either through auction sites or if something appears in Closet Child. >.<

I will be using a new website for wishlists! Now anyone and everyone can make wishlists for free!
Just upload the items you want to the website and title the album “Lolita Wishlist”. Don’t forget to add the brand name (e.g. Angelic Pretty) and the name of the item (e.g. Musee du Chocolat One Piece in green). You can title it as whatever you like, but the more information you put, the more it gives me to go on when I’m out shopping. If I see anything you have on your wishlist in store, I’ll contact you to let you know (if more than one person has it, it will be first come, first served).
You can check the website out here - http://collectstor.com
It’s a place where you can also display your own collections, see other people’s collections, favourite other people’s items and potentially use for trading/selling. You’ll be able to see how many people want what you have which is pretty useful for closet cleaning. ;) You’ll also be able to describe/give reviews on your own items which will be helpful for others (similar to lolibrary but with more emphasis on you and your personal collection).
In short, I think this will be an excellent website for far more than wishlists and we should get the lolita community on here. (^_^) It’s not limited to lolitas of course! It can be used for anything you collect/want to collect - music, anime, fashion goods, specialist foods, etc.
It totally depends on the company and can vary a lot from 1 or 2 days to 2 weeks (even longer for some), but the average is around one week.
Baby has come out with yet another new gorgeous series. This one is called “Romantic Irony” based on Romeo and Juliet. There’s a lot of variations in this series. Check it out here - http://www.babyssb.co.jp/reservation/juliet_sonnet/
Hmm, I’m not entirely sure since everyone is different. Many appear to be very brand loyal, but some may use Bodyline for the odd accessory or wig. As for what they think, I couldn’t really say. :) My guess is there will be those who hate it and those who aren’t that bothered.
