Cash Shop: So Coy and Bold Rule Heavy Chests
Dress up for the Masquerade with one of these chests from the Cash Shop.
You get to choose one item when opening the chest!

Waaiiit omg. coy/koi. I thought those were just abstract patterns. That actually is clever. :P
People spend that much for one CW because there's a set amount that will ever be onsite and there will never be more. Potentially many will never leave the account of those whom bought it. People pay 5k csc for a single item when there's only 10 onsite and 9 of them went to friends who won't sell.
These will be in the cash shop for x amount of time (probably months) meaning who knows how many will be purchased. I can understand the wigs, but otherwise.. ahh, seems kinda... bold, in pricing (pun intended).

Just going to say this is basically a trunk, but with an absolutely ridiculous price tag. I'm not very interested in CWs, but this definitely isn't the same as them.
To anyone not noticing the pun:
Coy - "Making a pretense of shyness or modesty that is intended to be alluring but is often regarded as irritating."
Koi - fish it's designed after

They're NOT CW's though. They're trunk items. No one is going to want to pay that for a single trunk item, plain and simple.

I don't see any puns in either set?lmao I'm so amused by the "coy" pun for the girl set
I want the Koi set, but. IT. IS. NOT. GOING. TO. HAPPEN. Unless the price is severely reduced, or this gets sold as a new costume trunk. Seriously, 250csc for ONE item? And there are 8 to the set? Uh, no.
People pay for the exclusiveness of CWs, or perhaps for a fan item. It's a totally different thing, and even out of CW buyers there aren't many people who would cough up 5k csc - it's normally artists or people who have made a ton of CSC off a commissioned CW. These items are available to anyone whereas a CW might only have 10 or less public copies.
The issue with Chance bags is that they're usually not entire wardrobe sets. There's usually around 5 wearables in them, along with other items.
These are essentially costume trunks or boutique sets, except they're double the price per item of a boutique set and four times the cost of a costume trunk.

250 csc each is a bit steep. I would gladly do 500-1000 for the set (trunk/boutique style), or like 100/150 csc each if it's going to be all separate.
Pricing aside, these sets are so pretty! ^_^

Gotta quote Blir here:
How can this be too much and yet that isn't?

Exactly. I love the hair and I will have one. People complain about one item being that much but yet I've seen people spend upwards of 5000csc on ONE custom item. People whine about 250 CSC for one item yet pay 500-600 and more for a SINGLE CW item? Idgi. But I really like the female set wig and dress, anyway

I like the trousers a lot, but not forking out for creased trousers, you'll get me on that male wig though.

Pretty, but totally no spending that much money to get the whole set, or even pieces of it. It would have made a lovely trunk addition though.

the shoes are a nice shape but I don't really have anything orange to wear with them :-/ shame, i like the heel shape
I'm totally quoting Masquerade here:
"I like that it isn't a chance bag, but why not just call it a costume trunk, price it at 500CSC and lets us have the whole set? I really dislike being nickle and dimed and I'm not even American."
Well I am American and still don't like this at all. The art is gorgeous. Gorgeous. We haven't had a new trunk in so long and I was excited to see these but shocked at the $20 per set price.

Glad it's not a chance bag. Some of the items are too small for that price tag, for me, when I wouldn't use them. But not complaining about the price.
I do really love the vest and the corset, so hopefully I can get them. LOVE the colors/themes.
My only issue is that I wish the dress shirt were completely buttoned. You know, not all dress shirts need to be unbuttoned. Far too many of the nicely colored, non-white button ups are undone... =|

Really pretty colors used for these, especially the coy set! That said 250 a pop for a single, exclusively wearables, item does seem a bit excessive. Especially when there's no time frame given on how long they'll be in the CS.
If they were chance bags, chances are there would be something other than just wearables and thus would offer more appeal to other collectors on site, as well as meaning one demographic is interested in every single item. Same being said for the collections each month c: I think 150 for one or 250 for two might have been a more appealing price tag, all things considering.
However I don't need any of them, as none suit my pet's TCs, so either way it doesn't really effect me |D I still like the colors, though.

They're gorgeous items, honest to God that Coy set is lovely but... I really doubt many players are gonna pay $2.50 per item. I think it would be better to jack the price up to 500 CSC and give the whole set.
I really want the hair but 250 CSC just to get that....I don't really know if I want to spend that much
Lol chance bag or not 250 CSC for one item is ridiculous, especially when this is more expensive than most boutique sets.
Tack an extra 250 csc on and make it a trunk.

I'm gonna agree, 250 for just one is a little.. much. I do like some of the Coy set though. c:
I don't know, change bags at least have the advantage of getting one of the super rarer items and making a possible profit .
The difference between the prices on these items and the CW system is that these are set prices for an unlimited amount of supply. You likely will never be able to sell the item for more than you paid for it. It's similar to how CWs in the cash shop will rarely ever go for higher than 600 csc. The high-priced CWs factor in exclusivity/rarity in their valuations.
Basically - it's comparing apples and oranges. :P
