I literally did not notice that the two Lapin items were priced differently! My first instinct would be to say it’s based on popularity, but I think in this case the boy item is more popular, so I don’t think that’s it. You’ve got some good theories about why, like complexity of the item, adding patterns, etc. (Though I didn’t notice any unique patterns on this one, so maybe that’s not it.) I also feel like the scheme wouldn’t affect it, unless it’s like a sparkly scheme or one with tons of colors. But I’ve never noticed those costing more before. It’s a mystery! That’s why I answered that the prices get pulled from a hat lol. *insert South Park scene where the chicken landing on a wheel determines what they do with the economy*

The Plastic Moe Emo was an instant buy for me! I didn’t even look at it on the MP first, just bought it immediately lol. I usually only buy beach themed stuff in Plastic Beach, but this item seems soooo good for filling in gaps on other outfits and the top could still work as an edgy looking bikini! Looking forward to using it before summer ends!

Thanks for the thread!

yayy more gateau on recent items!!! but dang i wish it was on leery lapin instead </3 imagine those pants in nutty... im team 'release duo items in the same schemes together' so i really hope we see the mirrors recoloured (and not behind a BE or something please...)

re:poll, it just seems like they pull these prices out of a hat, idk.

While I'm still not 100% with gateau, I did buy the lapin because I think I've bought almost every lapin so far ;; even if they aren't colors I use...I still love them.
I pray one day it'll come in Sea Bloom/Grey Cat/ Amaranth & Ivory or Pale Bubblegum. Or even blooming at this point.
Gaia please :c it's the cutest lil hand mod ever. I just wanna start seeing these new items in colors I wanna use more </3..I feel so left out of the fun.
Also this scheme is a lot more fun with pistachio. Gaia please make a brown/green/pink scheme please!! Seriously, I know y'all don't like green but we need more of it in items.

Thanks for the thread!! Pass on BE.

I missed out on the other Lapin recolors D':
But i'm so glad I was able to catch this one in Gateau !! User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
It's become one of my fav schemes since i've came back ! TwT
So I was pleasantly surprised for this recolor ! >w<

And I always appreciate a Plastic recolor as well !!
But I can't justify buying a BE for this particular item recolor. ;A;
It's not an item i'd use all the time T///T ;; so sadly i'll pass on it. ;-;

Thanks for the thread!

I think Gaia predicts that the male item in Deprived is less likely to be popular, and with more fans of Gateau, they could make more money... but it's all just a theory...

I think it's cute, and I like that we did get the Leery's partner so soon after. But easy pass.

Also, i get mandela'd seeing Plastic Beach on items b/c i think "haven't we seen this before?" Plastic Beach and Konpeito... maybe even Enchanted.
