Pearl And Silk Purse
The Carnies over at the Token Shop have just released a brand new purse made of the finest material, harvested from the chins of their very own bearded ladies! So why not head over and buy one?

It's funny how some people are complaining that the token shop restocked too early, yet others complain about how fast the item sold out. Obviously that means a lot of users are on ";early"; and the item is really popular. I guess you can't win. <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
Wow, thats awesome! puts on wishlist <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
I missed it by a long shot...but that's okay. It's still a very pretty item and I think I want it.
Also, just my 2 cents here, but I feel like Amber is doing a good job of releasing stuff at various times so that multiple time zones get first crack at stuff. Also, I am sure that this will follow the pattern of the last few TS items released and restock at least one more time in the next 24 hours, so there is still a chance that some who missed it may get it then.
And just to clarify, I have missed every single TS stock of a new item since Fantine's Apron was released. I have wanted several of the items released since then. I have paid the extra sP through trades or user shops to get a couple of them. I <i>did</i> happen to catch one of the Candied Monochromatic Wigs restocks and felt lucky and grateful about it.
I like that the new way the Token Shop stocks may give token prices a boost and most certainly will make TS items more valuable and therefore worth buying again.
I agree that it is disappointing to miss an item you wanted, but I really think some people (not pointing any fingers!) are getting a bit too worked up over this whole situation. Subeta can't revolve their item releases around my schedule or anybody else's and we really should stop acting like we expect them to. If I get lucky and am online when the TS stocks, then WhooHoo! for me and everyone else who got lucky too. If I miss it, then aw crap! for me and all the others who missed it. Guess we'll have to hope for a lucky restock.

Basically...deep breaths folks. Let's really try to stop tearing at each other all the time for trivial things. Now I'm off to stalk the TS in hopes of a RS.
Subeta may be based on EST, but people are wide awake on the other side of the world such as in Europe and Asia and such, so they finally get a chance to get something at a normal time instead of staying up late in their time zones.

Anywho... it looks very pretty and I love how it looks on an HA.... I think I may get one when it restocks. XD;
NOT AGAIN! Honestly I wasn't even really paying attention while watching some soccer games ... yep, I am blaming Euro 2008 for all my missed token shop items. Someone, anyone has to take the blame. btw Turkey just scored a goal ... and my 16k something tokens are rotting in my vault. LOL
Actually if you guys look at the previous token shop news posts you'll see they were released around noon not 8 like today.

Way to early though. Subeta is on about EST time and most people are asleep, at work or at school.
geez people, calm down..<p />

we are calm. <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" /> just because we state our dissapointment does not mean we aren't calm.

Love this, too bad I missed it <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Oh well though, you get some you miss some.
I hate when items restock while I'm sleeping -.-
Wow, lovely item (and amusing description, lol). <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" /> Almost makes me wish I'd gotten up at 5:30 this morning to nab it. <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
If you scroll back down towards the bottom Seerow posted what it looks like on <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

They are pixels. A grip. Get one.
is this thing wearable? o_o
.... The items get restocked 2-3 times, like usual. I make sure people of other times zones (other then america) get a fair chance too.<p />

I know, I know x3 But it restocks for UK'rs (not sure about EU'ers) either while we're asleep or while we're at work/school <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />
Imma stay on until about 9pm tonight hoping for anther RS <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />

aw, i keep missing things!
x-x this is kinda getting on my nerves.
";restock... please. I'm starting to get a little annoyed at this...";<p />

prods comments about asking for an RS<br />
But I'm still annoyed! These RS's used to be so evened out, now it seems they only RS once, and ALOT of EU'ers miss then :c
Made from chin hair you say? I am still waiting for a merkin to show up on here someday :-P stalks token shop uh for the purse not the merkin.
restock... please. I'm starting to get a little annoyed at this...
Aw. Still hasn't restocked <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_broken_heart.gif" border="0" />
Only because it's so adorable am I able to overlook the fact that it's made from bearded lady chin hairs :X I love it! lol
... xD!

oops, carry on, mythica. i'm on the defensive today! &gt;_&lt;

Wow! I've never seen a restock this early before. o.o It's a good thing purses don't interest me much. <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" />
I'm online every day, also. I play the site as a user, as well as work for it. I too have missed probably 4 out of the last 6 Token Shop restocks. Doesn't seem to cause a mental breakdown on my part, though. XD

<p />RetroDoll. When I'm directing something I say at you specifically, you'll know it. I'll probably actually mention your username. C: I was making an observation about recent token shop news comment behaviour in general, mate. <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
<i>There's a difference between expressing disappointment, and having an absolute hissy fit and demanding/begging things be changed to accommodate you, and you only. C:</i>

are you implying that is what i was doing? read again. i said it would be nice. i didn't sit there and go WAH I DEMAND THAT THEY RESTOCK WHEN I WANT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I OWN THE SITE. i stated my opinion and that i wished they were more spread out. instead of right in one little 4-hour period. i'm sure users in other time zones do too.
That's lovely! Brava to the artist that drew it!

Maybe I'll catch it on the restock <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Mythica, I must say it IS rather annoying when people are like ";you MUST restock at this time, restock it NOW"; ;/ But you can still understand the dissapointment, even disapair of those [inlcuding me] that has missed every RS since the Candied Wig, and I'm online every day <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
I think the three most appropriate times to RS is when it normaly does, around now when UK'ers and ther EU'ers get home from work/school, and later when USA get on before/after school
So Pretty (Kudos Artists)! You have made this Gypsy Lady very happy <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" /> *Scurries off to lie in wait at the Token Shop

hmm I thought that this is what comments were for, from the dictionary: comment, a remark, observation, or criticism.

Artist thank you for a wonderful item, you did a great job, huggles.. maybe I will get it someday. oh wait, I shouldn't put a negative thought here on a comment..
Well darn. I was asleep. I hope it restocks, it's very pretty.
";Users expressing dismay over unfortunate occurrences? IN MY NEWS POST?!";

It's more common than you think. XD
Yeah, LazyKat. Can I sic you on them? <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
Users expressing dismay over unfortunate occurrences? IN MY NEWS POST?!
:sigh:another item missed :shrug: i didn't have enough tokens anyway
yes, mythica, i am aware of that. however, most of the restocks have been coming around the same general times (8 am, noon, etc -- we're at work). i was just making a point.
Cee
Will there be further restocks ? <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_shocked.gif" border="0" /> If not, ah well. My fault for sleeping in.
People in other timezones have jobs, also. C:
it'd be nice if there were some restocks during the normal evening hours US time. i happen to have a job, like many other adult players, and we aren't able to be on much [if at all] during business hours, nor late at night. just saying. i've missed every single restock lately.
Bloody Bones Pearl And Silk Purse 3,799,899 sP 1<p />

Oooh this item is gorgeous, thank you artists <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy_sweatdrop.gif" border="0" /> But I would rather wait a month for it to restock again than pay that ^ ;/
Missed, AGAIN. Token Shop RS times are so... URGH.
I know the description is grand. I'd so wear this if there was a long beard the same color just because it would look amazing haha
<img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_shocked.gif" border="0" /> that is one fantastic item. Whoever drew it, you are awesome. I hope I can get one the next time they restock!
User not found:
I'm pretty sad since I have now missed 9 token shop items in row ):
I really would have loved to get couple of them and I have some extra tokens in hopes that these items will restock again some day...
Maybe I should stop sleeping and working <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
