Oh, and keep an eye out this week for the rest of the Horns and Roses items to be rereleased around the site. :smiling_imp:

Thought 10k tokens would be enough to have around in case. Nope, ah well. Can live without it.
@-HyperBlossom-
Amber confirmed that one of the items will be released in BHH, but I don’t know about the other items and we don’t know which one that will be

Will all of Horns and Roses items later be added to the fragment shop or maybe the Cash Shop.
So what I'm getting from these comments is;
1) people think a site item where 250 copies were given out over 5 years ago, many of which have probably been lost to inactive accounts or other mishaps (zapper, accidental deletion, ect) should not have been re-released at all and should not be obtainable by people who were not around during that event
2) people think that 20k wizard tokens is a high price to pay for a very exclusive item and are putting others down for putting in the effort to save up that much by saying the price is nothing more than a contest to see who can waste the most time on this site earning money and tokens
And honestly like....y'all need to take a step away from your computers or go outside or something. Coz one of the things I love about Subeta is that they don't make things exclusive and find ways to release old items so that there are new copies floating about. For an item like this that is so sought after the price is well justified, and if you can't be bothered to take 5 minutes and do daily wizard quests and save your tokens for one or 20-30 minutes to do all the daily quests and earn 3-4mil sP per day and save up for it now that there are copies for sale in the user shops again don't put other people down. If your play style comes back to bite you when something like this comes out you only have yourself to blame, and casting it onto others who put time and effort in and then get to reap the benefits of it just shows your own laziness more than anything.
I wish I had enough tokens for the jacket but I've only recently begun saving mine instead of blowing them all on vending every day so I don't have that much, but I'm not angry about it. In fact that just gives me more incentive to keep saving, especially because I get the feeling the rest of the set is going to follow shortly through other means like BHH or CS. But just the fact that these items are going to be obtainable at all again is good enough, and I thank the staff for making the choice to not make items exclusive and keep everything obtainable, even if it is expensive!

Kicking myself for wasting 20k tokens on the Jacket... it was already in my wardrobe :( sobs (that's what I get for not checking my account first)
Peka-Boo Festival 2014: Battle of the Bands prize? Yes, please. That event was a confusing mess.
Never knew that jacket existed Oo
Glad to know it does though! That'll be a wishlist item for the floofy one for sure <3
In the meantime, glad to see some old items being recirculated into the current economy; makes wishlist/TC hoarders like myself set goals for the future =3

I have the smudgy dirt on my WL but I fell in love with the jacket <3
Well, next time I'll grab the smudgy dirt if I can.

@Mackenzi yeah, I think they'll go with BHH for the tail and maybe horns, and crystal shop for both the contacts. Not sure if we have other limited shops. But they could put something in the recycle shop for an insane amount, like almost Ametsuchi-worthy or even higher (maybe the other item between horns and tail, since 2 items in BHH seems unlikely).
Oh haha and that's quite common, actually. I was already slotted as Fenrir and other mispellings like Fernisy xD

I went through all my wizard tokens in less than 1 minute in my shop. I earned quite a bunch sP (:
Thank you for purchasing from the token shop!
Horns and Roses Band Jacket
Got my copy! I can't wait to see how the gold contacts will be released, as I have wanted them for so long! (hopefully not BHH)

I had to buy a whole bunch of tokens to afford the jacket, but it was worth it I think..
That devil face in the news post does not bode well....I have a feeling one of the items will be in BHH, or crystal shop (where I seem to never get enough crystals for anything big) hmmm

:looks at prices:
Me:
Thank you staff for giving us the opportunity to grab a rare and previously near-unobtainable item!
Judging from past news (July and Aug, 2014), about 250 of the Horns and Roses items went onto the site. In those 5 years, many are sure to have been "lost" on inactive accounts.
I think the high price point is completely justified, honestly. If I had 20k tokens, I might've been inclined to pick up a copy.
Check out the rewards for the event here: Topic: Battle of the Bands Prizes! (list)

My mistake, two of the items are available via achievement prize (although none of the wearables); the sticker is also available via the Street Team achievements.
And thank you! Finding something for the bodice for Sailor Cosmos was not easy and it's still not perfect, but I am happy that I pulled something together. Your HA is very well done, good color coordination and the hair ornaments are very nice with the hat.

@Turokai
I legitimately had over 20k a while ago but gave away more than half off it. I thought 20k

@Ambition Funny thing is, I had almost 100K wiz tokens rotting in my vault until I went on a giveaway spree for Beltane. Now I'm down to 20K again and that being said.., @Diana If you really feel badly about buying the jacket, I'll gladly pay you back the 20k tokens for it. the river stone is pretty, but with my schedule I doubt I'll catch another restock, so I really don't need the tokens for a while.
@Mayumi
The jacket was part of a site event that many users felt was badly mishandled, with very limited and unclear release on the prize set. At the time the staff running the event and the users who got to put their items on-site said these things would not be available again (other than allowing one of the consumables as a very high-end achievement prize).
Ariel and Amber are trying not to tank the value of the items and thus are pricing them high or making them limited in number and distribution, since to be fair the fans of that band did work hard, but they also want the rereleases to be attainable. Some folks are still bitter the value was ever that high, others are happier that the items will be available at all, still other people are upset that their items they got from the original run might be worth less than what they paid for, and another set of folks disagree with limiting the rereleases by price or venue.

Honestly, at least it helped with the deflation of wizard tokens? Haha
Truth be told, for those of us who wanted that jacket for a while and couldn't find it for sale, the price is a steal. And for those who don't want it, it's a good time to sell your tokens lol
Everybody wins!

Well, I do not think I can earn 20k tokens before this one runs out in the TS... RIP that jacket.
HOW on earth do people save up so many tokens and other currencies? I mean I guess if I could do the quests every day I'd eventually get some but... I am always needing things form TS RS. xD
...
I guess if I did them every single day of the month for an entire year I'd earn about 90k tokens (not having a GA). OH !! (lamenting against standard logic) The math stands to reason I should be doing them every day. BAD AMBITION. BAD.
New goals (every day = so many tokens!).

I have no interest in the jacket, so bought a reborn potion instead to add to my hoard. The jacket might be 20k, but no one is being forced to buy it. If you want it and can afford to, go ahead. If not, don't. Is simple enough, really. Same goes for other high-priced ts items.
@freddie np dude, sorry you missed it, idk if i'll see the next restock but hopefully you catch it!
I cannot say how pissed I am I bought that jacket!! insert swear word every other word 20,000 tokens? Really?
I feel punked...
I feel punked...
DON'T LEND TOKENS YET, the other horns and roses items might be as expensive especially dem eyes
Also it's good to see items retain their actual value, I was sad to see the Giltwork Mask in the CS for...the equivalent of like 2M SP, despite the effort to get it being GINORMOUS. gj, staff.

@Laurey Yeah I remember when it released, I've been here for over 10 years now. I don't believe it was in the TS before, thus making it a "new TS item".
Oh well. Literally no decision Staff makes can be worse than allowing people to pay IRL money for custom pet skins and then permitting them to be submitted for Pet of the Day shrug. This just seems to be the path that Subeta is going down nowadays and it's pretty sad.
