Last year I waited suppppper early (too early) because I never bought much Loewe before, but I got all the stuff I wanted (at the time a max 5 piece).

Last year, I also went on launch date to Loewe to collect my puzzle, which I was able to put a reservation on and was too early as I wanted to take a look at what they have beside the puzzle and there was only one other person there.
At my shop you can reserve things, but they only get parts of the collection into the shop. E.g. they don’t get the scarecrow coin/card purse thingy…

We swung by Casa Loewe Ginza today since we were in the area, and got a couple of small items. The SA actually invited us to the preview event at the pop up on 1 Feb but we are not back in Tokyo until the next day! Sadness. Really wanted to check out the pop up. And she told us the pop up is reservations required once it opens, and only open to Japan residents as it requires a Japanese phone number in Line to register. Devastated 
I had a chance to go to the store today!
Unfortunately things are not in stock yet but they will start to arrive on the 27th of January. I got a list from the SA with the smallest thumbnail pictures, but I saw the Birkin priced bag you were talking about. Oof. I wonder if anyone’s going to buy that.
There are a lot more items this year, but unfortunately they don’t have everything in the store I’m at - and the calcifer flamenco available were ordered and out of stock already, and they didn’t have the feather flamenco in the store. So I might need to try online…
I managed to order the calcifer hoodie (one of my favorites from first look), a calcifer t-shirt, blue calcifer scarf, the calcifer and the dog charm.
They have the dog cookie pouch too, but I got no face last year so I’m a bit okay about it.
Turnip head’s brooch is cute but it’s already out here.
And they don’t have the calcifer beanies available in store, too.
Our SA is being very tentative about our wish list because apparently there’s a bunch of top spenders that are getting even more priority priority sales. LOL. Oh well. We weren’t even given an option to prepay prior to the presales despite being told we could, so really not holding our breath this year…
Oh no! I had the chance to prepay so I’m fortunate enough to not have to go through the online mess for most items. Maybe there’s a better chance through Selfridges?
I’m still hoping to get a flamenco since I got the susuwatari puzzle last year. I really like the black calcifer one and the feather one, but I have a feeling those might be high in demand for some reason..
I had the chance to prepay the black Calcifer Puzzle which I wanted, but only that one for now (I’m not a big Loewe spender by any means). I do want a Heen charm though if there’s one. And some RTW but I want to see & feel the RTW in person.
On the one hand we are told only VIPs get the chance to preorder, but of course the reality is that there will always be someone more VIP than you. Heh. We are really aiming for the more unique pieces which means they are going to be limited, but also won’t go out of our way to procure items. There’s always another collection that would grab our interest anyways. I think we should still be able to secure some items so getting more stuff is just the cherry on top…
Calcifer will come in the same three colours for both the mini and small, and the blue Heen is the mini size.
In the store where I was lucky enough to get a preview of the samples there was also a mini brown Heen puzzle. Generally there seemed to be a good bag selection with a mix of characters! The availability is a different question ofc…Good luck to everyone with trying to secure the pieces
Interesting! I had thought the Heen in rust color was only for the SLG, but guess there really are even more items than we had peeked at!
