First of all, thank you so much to tpfers who helped me with decisions!!! 
Before the reveal, I wanna vent
a bit if you guys don't mind... So, after a long wait, I finally received the mango mini. However, the packaging and the condition of the bag was not what I expected. The bag came in in a HUGE delivery box (huge enough to hold ~4 maxi boxes) and the mini was not in a Chanel box but bouncing around inside the huge box. Also, there was no stuffing, wrapping chains or whatsoever. The mini was squished from no stuffing and a bit creased from not being in a box. I don't really understand why they put the bag and the Chanel box separately. Anyways, I inspected the bag. The color of the bag looked a bit faded and dull looking, stitches have tiny strings all over and some glue looking things were found near the edge of the flap. I snipped the tiny strings and removed the glue with tweezers (luckily it didn't leave any marks/stains). Also, there was a ~1" stain/scuff at the bottom of the flap!!!! 
Fortunately, I was able to remove it with LMB lamb care cleanser. After applying additional LMB moisturizer and silk serum and massaging the leather, the bag was restored.
I was VERY unhappy with the fact that I had to spend this much effort and time to make the bag look brand new when it's supposed to be brand new!!!!
With the condition of the bag, the horrible packaging/shipping, and an unfriendly SA, I don't want to shop at Woodbury unless I really have to.... I would rather pay a full price at boutique and not have these problems.
Anyways, as promised, here is my (restored) mango mini:
No Flash
Since someone asked me before, here is the color comparison
with my 10C Yellow Jumbo Caviar (not part of my recent purchases) with flash:

I have been regretting not getting this one last year and finally spotted a brand new one recently! I love how it changes its color depending on lighting.

I hope the Woodbury outlet won't do that to me. -knocks on wood-
