  • The limited edition set of the Korone x Kunio-kun collab merch sells out WHILE Korone retweeting the store link.
    Just as an FYI, River City Ransom/Girls is from the Kunio-kun series.
    Dunno how to tell you this Korone, nobody's cancelling those limited edition orders with your handwritten autograph.

      It is rather difficult to judge merch though. When you have 1.86 million people how many are going to buy somethings? 50,000? 100,000? 500,000? if you over order you are left with way way way too much stock to store and if you order too less not everyone gets something.
      Which is why pre-orders are probably the best way to go instead of a launch. If you want it to be limited just have it up for a day and then make the amount sold + some extra in case of damages/exchanges/future sales.

    Korone mentioned in July about goods with hand written autographs in August, so I guess Koronesukis were prepared for the battle. The surprise was that she announced this Friday singing stream+announcement on Thursday and I didn't think the goods would be sold right then and there at the announcement. 🤣 So I was out drinking with my ex-colleagues that night. Around 9:04pm JST, I happened to peek at my phone and saw her talking about goods, put on my earphones and she mentioned the limited version was sold out. I was like WHAT??! went to look at the video's description, no hololiveshop link, opened browser to go directly to hololiveshop, saw the item sold out, scrolled to geekjack link, luckily it was still on geekjack until at least 9:07pm when I completed the purchase. I think Korone's team forgot that hololiveshop ships internationally to a lot of countries now and allocated too many quantities at geekjack & too little at hololiveshop. The cancel system is a booth thing, where JP people have an option to pay within 7(?) days at a convenient store, and some ppl didn't go pay in time. The limited quantity item would be released around 10am JST the next morning. This is not applicable to hololiveshop as they don't allow this for limited quantity items.

    "limited edition" and "we've made enough" are two things that will never go together ^^

    This reminds me of an anime that had a bunch of androids, with one of them basically being able to control the trends of the general populous because of their likeability and looks. Not only merch but anytime literally any of the girls talks about a product, it gets sold out immediately.

    Probably scalped. Considering subaru found her anniversary merch being sold at some random spot in akihabara, I wouldn't be surprised if other places like that snipe as many limited edition merch copies as they can to sell at higher values themselves. (Unless that's illegal, in which case it's probably just gonna be sold on ebay or the JP equivalent thereof)

    At this point it's not even surprising when Hololive stuff sells out instantly. That's why I'm glad they've started doing preorders on some items

    Okay. So I work at a gadget store. We had an online pre-order for the PS5. The site would only go online once pre-order begins. And it also took less than a minute to go Sold Out. People were supposed to fill up forms before submitting their order. And that happened anyway. Maybe some scalpers use bots to auto-fill their forms.
    And now the PS5 is being sold here by scalpers for 150%-200% the original price, sometimes even more. Stores in malls are still out of stock until today.
