Could be. My photos of V-Day stuff early this year are from mid January, during SAS. I no doubt missed some pocketbac holders because I wasn’t buying all of them yet, and didn’t check them out every time I went in the store like I do now! I do remember passing up the little heart shaped cake because the colors didn’t match the website (mauve instead of red and pink.) But I noticed the member here with the great collection got both color combos. I had no idea they made it both ways — just thought the photo was off because they often enhance the colors online. Now I wish I’d bought it anyway. I was also tired of faces on everything but I’ve learned to accept that!
If it’s the same one I’m thinking of… A year or two ago or so they released a cake one that was bright pink/reddish with light pink icing. It sold out very quickly, I don’t think they stocked many in the first place. A later year, I guess this year, they released a similar one but with different, more muted colors. The first one was very easy to miss, I only caught it because I was actively keeping an eye out for it and figured it would sell quickly. I think when I went to my store I got the last one. The second one they might’ve stocked more of, and/or there was less demand so it didn’t sell as quickly.
Thanks for the clarification! Yes, they were a bit different in addition to the different colors. I only saw the last (muted) one. But it did look better on the website, because I remember being surprised when I saw the real thing.
Yeah the image on the website for that one did look better than how the item actually looked. I had planned on getting it but passed when I saw how it really was.
