Innocent World Oddment (2015) packs A and B

This week week IW posted their biannual Oddment packs, and we decided to give them a go. I purchased pack A and ihasadragon got pack B. We both placed our orders on April, 20th, paid on the 24th and got shipping confirmation on the 22nd. Then this morning at 9:30 my doorbell rang and a box big enough to ship myself in arrived. I.W. is probably one of the fastest places I've ever gotten products from. Aside from Ap USA (but I pick that up myself next day) Pack A is priced at 50,000yen  and B is priced at 80,000 yen these are pre tax prices, and tax in Japan recently went up form 5 to 8% (will be 10 in October) the current conversion being used by paypal is 116.5861 Japanese Yen per dollar.

Overall I was very pleased with my pack, not as in love with every item as last year though, I will be selling a few things off later on that just didn't suit me. I do feel that pack B gave you more bang for your buck.

ihasadragon: There are some items that I'm really happy with, however I did expect to like a larger percent of what I got, since I bought the larger box. Maybe next time. I also feel it was a better deal, especially if it had had items that suited me better.


ihasadragon also discovered that the majority of our items were from 2013 collections, and the items I got the year before were from 2012. We are going to start browsing 2014 in hopes of seeing what we might get next year.

Did you order the IW pack? What did you get, was it from 2013? I hope you loved it.

What I got last year, in case you were curious, it is also a pack A, I do know that I got very lucky with it though.
