2014 Fukubukuro Part I

The Fukubukuro or lucky bag/pack season is/was upon us. Not really a season...more like a month from the end of December to the new year. You buy yourself a bag of mysteries for a set price and hope for the best! Sometimes if you are lucky you can get something rare and expensive. This year was my first time participating in this competitive online shopping sport. The following are what I received so far!


Metamorphose Dark Lucky Pack

I had no idea what I was getting. I really did not want a cutesy print. I purchased a dark set for 10,500円/YEN. Shipping was around 20 or 30 USD. This was the image on the Meta website.

This is what I recieved....

a white blouse, necklace, a bow clip, socks, a bag and the exact skirt I did not want!

It's really not that bad. This is just not my taste. I'm all for prints just not this cutesy stuff.

I thought for a while about this blouse. I tried it on and was put off by how sheer it was. It works great under a dress though. I have yet to try. I decided to keep this. It is light which is a plus for me!

The following are the accessories. I do not have much to say about them.

I am not a big fan of this bag. I would have preferred a canvas tote. It feels really flimsy and is very wrinkly.
I did not have a nice picture of the socks.

Overall I was not very happy with this. I have the worst luck when it comes to blind box items and stuff like this. I plan on selling the socks and the skirt.

**Update! If you like the skirt you can buy it here >> Ebbi Time Goods <<**

Alice and the Pirates 

This was the set I wanted!

I had to wake up at 4am! I set my alarm and ended up waking before it because my friend texted me. We both woke up just to snag a bag. The website kept crashing. I was on the brink of giving up after the thousandth refresh. SOMEHOW I was able to get to the checkout page and got this baby. It came shortly before the new years too!

A giant box came in one day and inside was this blue Alice and the Pirates bag.

I unloaded the contents and there was no surprise. I got what I wanted!

  This set made me super happy. I pretty much liked everything. Here is a picture of the JSK.

The blouse was nice. I have not much to say about it. This picture does it no justice. It fits is all that matters!! The following are the accessories.

Bodyline Cosplay & Lolita Pack

I did not receive these yet. I am not very excited and bracing for the worst. I remember reading about their past packs and they were not good. I am expecting the worst like lingerie in like 4XL and their sexy (not so sexy) halloween costumes.

Coming soon! Can't wait for this!

So far I purchased 5 myself. Two came surprisingly fast. I got my Metamophose tracking email yesterday but I received my package a lot earlier.

New Year's Resolution?
Spend more wisely. Do what makes you happy! (unless it's harmful to you or others)
