You buy the Japanese releases? Nice! They're soo expensive! In Your Area is priced at $73
I don't buy them as much as before since they are expensive, I mostly stick with SM Japanese releases, now some of those were a pain in the ass to collect before because of the price. It also helps that a lot of the groups that I collect Japanese releases of (After School, Secret, T-ara..etc) are all inactive now so I don't buy as much.
all 10 IGAB? i just got the group one, BS has all 10 crazy man he is.
Heck i used to no buy repacks...kinda or wait and get the repac instead.
Akb could be hard they live on multi-versions with a different song or 2.
oh where do ya get the japan only versions( like IZ one Wiz one version, or theater versions) when you shop?
So far for me Lovelyz and gfriend have had the best multi versions other than Summer magic LE which is crazy. % was nice.
Its the blasted cards that will be the death of me. No way i could do a twice like group.
IZ one is bad enough with 24 cards 90+ is just silly.
IGAB is a hard one, I didn't have money for all 10 so I got them in different times. I'm still missing 4 versions though (Sunny, Hyoyeon, Sooyoung, and Seohyun). They're really expensive nowadays so I'm just trying to hunt for good deals from collectors who are quitting lmao.
For AKB I only buy the cover with my Kami-oshi which is Okada Nana. I did buy Kojiharu's solo cover of Shoot Sign though since she was my original oshi in AKB. I download the songs from music-48 so I'm not picky about the B-sides.
I don't collect I*ZONE but I get the Japan only stuff (usually the fanclub exclusive stuff) from either Yahoo Japan or Rakuten. I've bought some SHINee member sleeves for really cheap on Yahoo Japan auction.
My favorite multi versions are usually from Seventeen since it's guaranteed that you're getting a different photobook for every version unlike SM.
I don't collect new groups as a whole now for photocards, I usually collect my bias or top 3/4 depending on the situation. Twice is both easy and hard. There are a lot of people that you can trade with but there's so much cards. I only collect the J-Trinity and Jeongyeon but it's still really hard to find stuff especially since the only members that I usually pull are Dahyun and Chaeyoung who seem to be low on the totempole of Twice card collectors.
