Lightscapade will be another MAC horror show == limited product, unfullfilled demand, lots of grumpy people.

I for one will not pile up to try to get it -- if I can preorder (which I have heard might not be possible due to unforseeable demand/supply), I will live without it.

it really is a shame MAC is playing these consumer games -- even the most avid consumer get's pod and walks.. I am on a Chanel/Guerlain bandwagon now... very little MAC actually bought (please remember that I own a lot of these collections in my samples already so that makes them not so new to me anymore, but they are all in sample packaging).
Oh yes i am already dreading what is going to happen when lightscapade launches again - absolutely crazy!!

I don't know whether this would fall on deaf ears or not, but I intend to email both MAC Corporate as well as EL Corporate with my concerns regarding availability on this item. I predict it will be the Stereo Rose debacle all over again or worse. Not only will we have to move against the Evil Bay poachers but possibly each other as well. Already there are posts about multiple item purchases of that item. I hope MAC has adequate supply and I hope we all get what we want. But I fear it is going to be a mess. Remember how quickly JW and HP sold out (and it was a small "under the mainstream radar" collection)?

It's the limited quantity that makes the product interesting. It's a very simple but effective marketing strategy. Just imagine Lightscapade would become a perm item - a lot of people would pass on it and go for LE items - the "other" Lightscape - only. And creating a hype on blogs and discussion forums will just support that the prices on evilbay will increase in the speed of light(scapade), especially, as you pointed out, many will make multiple purchases.

I'm curious how MAC will respond to your inquiry and if you get more than a generic answer. Please keep us informed and let's hope for a "Lightscapade Revolution." Fingers crossed for all of us!

I have emailed both in the past with my own concerns about other things. MAC Corporate did respond - albeit with a somewhat cursory, canned reply - while EL Corporate completely blew me off on more than one occasion. EL Corporate never once even acknowledged that my emails had been received and/or were being reviewed. By all means, however, do email them because your experience could be different.

i think it is a good idea to email them and i may even do the same with the uk side of the company. i am very warey of ebay people too - we all know they read these forums and will see that we are all going crazy already :(

Lou’s MAC MSF’s and Beauty Powders - todays youtube video where i swatch lightscapade and where you can see it in depth if you don't already own it!

i agree...I am getting so confused as to how much I need to set aside for each month....are all the limited edition collections going to hit us at once. Some of the september collections are dated for late september which is confusing me cause normally collections come out first thursday of the month.........
Collections come out on the first Thursday of the month for those of us in the UK and Ireland, except on rare occasions, whereas in the US they don't have that kind of fixed release day. The dates listed, like the 29th of Sep are the US release dates. We'll probably get two at the start of Sep and two at the start of Oct or something like that.

all these collections coming out this fall! whew! its going to be so hard to keep up. I know for sure I am going to get another 226 brush. That brush is amazing and should be part of the perm line. Its perfect for my lid space. So glad its returning.

I am kind of interested in the new shadows and even some lipsticks. These summer collections, overall are really boring me. Looks like MAC is going to redeem themselves come Aug. I think that's wonderful!

WOW Just tried to catch up on everything....gotta visit individual threads. Idk that I'll be jumping on the Lightscape bandwagon so that's at least one saved for someone who really has to have it.
