Last day to get 25% off! Has anyone taken advantage of the sale this weekend? Im still considering the black tote and wondering if I'll regret not getting it at the discounted price... Also, has anyone paid close attention to the comic strip pieces? The comics are actually funny!

Yes, I just ordered the black Minnie tote myself. It came to $186 before taxes and then $202 after and I used ShopRunner. I would like to see it in person and I figure I can always return it to a local KS if I don't care for it. I have a feeling it may go on a better discount later - e.g., land in the sale section and then another sale on sale code on top of it. On the other hand, it may also sell out and I'll be out of luck. I think there is a chance it could sell at a much higher resale price later, so I decided to snap it up. I really like the sweater too, but I think that is ridiculously overpriced even with the 25% off so I am holding off. And of course, I also want the earrings and necklace but they haven't been back on the website so still keeping an eye out.
I may have a slight problem....

I just placed an order.
We're both thinking along the same lines...I didn't want to miss out on it either and from the IG photos that I've been seeing, people are in LOVE with this tote, so I think it's a good purchase. I also have a feeling that the coin purse will become available now that the sale is over...

Can you ladies who ordered the Francis tote let me know your thoughts and share some pics when you receive it? The description states the tote is canvas and I'm wondering if it's coated in any way or if it's just plain canvas. Also wondering about the size.
Hope the coin purse is released soon!!

The coin purse... along with other items... will definitely be released by the end of the month.
I waited right up until Sunday night to make a purchase but I'm glad I did! My SA placed the order with free express shipping and it arrived this morning! I've posted a reveal thread and will post pictures once I get home tonight.
I believe the exact release date of the coin purse is March 20th. I was told items are being released throughout the month. We've seen everything on the site with the exception of the Mini Maise, coin purse, and the spherical clutch/crossbody.
The UK's website says the Minnie Mouse collection will be available to the UK on March 18th. I don't think Kate would launch on a Sunday.... I've only seen them do that one other time. Also there is a card holder that has not been released yet. On a happy note I got my cell phone case in the mail today!
They always receive their stock in-store by Sundays, so they can do their floor changes in the evening after work and set up for the following day or at least this is what boutiques have told me. I also work retail and we do the same thing.
Posted pictures of my Minnie Mouse reveal here: http://forum.purseblog.com/kate-spade/slg-shopping-spree-937107.html if anyone is interested in seeing what I bought.
The entire collection is online only, so the stores won't be a factor in the launch date.
Received my Minnie Francis bag today and back with pictures and a report. It is not coated canvas - plain. It is larger than I expected. I am a little on the fence with it, although I will probably wind up keeping it. I think I might have preferred it if the bag were glossy and the mouse head shape were sequins like the sweater. Definitely cute though, and I like the zipper top. I'm glad I got it on sale though. Let me know if you have other questions.

Got an email from KS about the Minnie Mouse collection however there is no coin purse on the website as of yet.
