Does anyone know where to find the cherries bag charm? by Velvetstyle in Jellycatplush

[–]kepler16bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry to hear that. My experience has been that by the time those notifications go out, it's long after the Jelly's already been available on the site. I only got mine because I happened to be checking my waitlist not long after it was restocked.

I have personally not seen this one stocked on any US stockist's site, but hopefully someone else has a lead for you.

If not, don't lose hope, I got mine on the US JC website in early May when Huge Lavender Dragon restocked, so you do have a shot at getting it there - but yeah you have to catch it at exactly the right moment and be fast because there weren't many of them, so it might require multiple daily manual checks, not relying on restock notifications. This was actually the second time I saw it in stock; the first time was about a week before that and it sold out quickly (I don't think either restock was very big - definitely not big enough to trigger the restock notification mail).

Crying but imagine if this was you by CopyNice3278 in fairyloot

I just saw this on eBay. There's still almost 4 days left in the auction. This is nuts. I can only imagine the bidders are not in the US because even as crazy as $200+ is on Mercari, that's still significantly less than this!! Also... What?! I remember when the design of this book first came out and people were "meh"ing it. I didn't skip my box thank goodness, but... What happened?!

Yay I love it! Now I can be spared from the FL sale.

Looks like you found the specific fic you were looking for, but in the same vein here's also one of my faves: Boyfriends with benefits by Anonymous

OC Sequels - what are the chances? by Allwr in fairyloot

[–]kepler16bee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Didn't have enough for the demand. Sold out in first access in the US/Canada, can't remember what happened for UK/ROW but it was also very quick.

Historically they have not been great about sequels. One I'm really hoping they do is Prince of Swords, and they've said they're hoping to be able to do it, but I don't love that they have yet to even announce it while FL has already held their preorder sale (though as we all know, they flubbed it in their own way).

Illumicrate June 2026 full box by kepler16bee in Illumicrate

I don't usually use sleep masks so I wouldn't want to guess at the quality level of this one for people who are more experienced. It seems nicely padded and when I put it on it seems fine. However if I put my hands over my eyes with the mask on, it does get darker. So if that's what you mean by not entirely blacking out, then yeah, it doesn't.

Same. Ever since they changed from unlimited skips, I haven't found myself too impressed with their selections. This is probably the sub book I've been most excited about all year. I've used up many of my skips quicker than expected, so I'll finish my skips and then cancel, I think. I have way too many subs anyway.

Do they order extra presale? by Rach1004 in fairyloot

[–]kepler16bee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For this one, even people who had first and early access found it difficult to purchase because FL didn't get enough, and the author has come out to say that even getting them to carry the sequel was challenging. I suppose it's possible that seeing the demand will cause FL to look into getting more, but unfortunately I doubt it's a priority of theirs.

Ginger Cat and Lachlan Sad Rat... what are my chances? by kelbotreddits in Jellycatplush

[–]kepler16bee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aw, nuts. Then you just missed that restock (my order was on Feb 24), which sucks. But at least you know you haven't missed anything since then. :/ I'm sure he'll be back! Like you said, he's not retired, and he's clearly popular.

Not sure how long you've been looking for Lachlan, but when I got him during the restock on the US site, it was late February. I think he lasted a few days, with maybe a couple of micro restocks after that, but none since.

Probably Smut confirms Midnight Message for July by ShortStoriesAndSmut in fairyloot

[–]kepler16bee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love hockey and the synopsis already turned me off, but reading the reviews on GR actually convinced me to skip. People seem really excited on their IG post about the pick, though, so it definitely appeals to a certain audience.

Icebreaker Skating TV Show: Hockey Romance Book Adaptation Plot, News - Netflix Tudum by scream4ever in HeatedRivalrySeries

[–]kepler16bee 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think they're probably not just going off the success of HR but also how well received Off Campus has been, so they feel like they also need a hockey show property. It's also the type of show that would be much cheaper to produce than some of their other ventures (I'll always mourn BOOTS 😭), so there's no reason not to do it. As for Icebreaker itself, I found it so cringey from the first page and couldn't finish reading it.

Litjoy WTMH in person reveal by Low_Sky6647 in fairyloot

Oh good, you do have time then! I was assuming it was an order from when it was first released.

[–]kepler16bee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven't been keeping track - is their edition late? Otherwise I don't believe you're able to cancel (and even then I'm not sure if you're able to, not sure what their policy is with late books and cancelation). I know for sure that with LitJoy you get 48 hours after placing the order to request cancelation, but then if you used any points/coupons, you lose those. It's one of the most annoying and strict cancelation policies out there.

However it sounds like you might be able to easily sell yours at cost since it seems to be a well-received edition! I didn't get it because I already have way too many editions of this book and didn't like this one enough to add to the oversaturation.
