Recent K-pop Purchases (Collective) ~ Infinite (Of course.. :p), Winner. Block B, VIXX

Hello helloooo! I am back! Been so busy and tired from being busy T.T But I'm back!

Here's another collective K-pop merch haul type of post :D


First up is some stuff I got from MWave Shop.
I've ordered a couple times from them now, and I've had very positive experiences every time, so I plan on continuing ordering stuff from them when they have something I want for a good price.

Anyway, I ordered Winner's 2014 S/S Limited Edition and Block B's H.E.R. Special Edition.
Winner's 2014 S/S Limited Ed. album comes in black and white, but since I only ordered one, MWave randomly sent me white, which I don't mind at all. I would have been okay with either :P

Here's what's included in the Winner 2014 S/S Limited Edition album:

One double sided poster:

double sided poster side A

double sided poster side B

A magazine-like photobook & a larger, thicker photobook w/ CD

(Inside of large, main photobook) CD + polariod of a random member, I got Mino

Back of photobooks

This album is freakin' beautiful, seriously. Besides 10 extremely high-quality tracks, the packaging and photobooks are done so well. The concept is so well thought out and it really matches the members. They all look so stylish and model-esque! (even though all of you who watched WIN/Winner TV or any of their behind the scenes stuff KNOW how dorky the Winner boys are... haha!)

In my opinion, this album may be a bit pricey, but it is definitely worth it if you're a fan of Winner and want to invest in a classic collectible.

Winner 2014 S/S Limited Edition available here via MWave Shop (such a good price compared to other sites!!)

Next up is Block B's H.E.R. Special Edition.
This version (sadly) does not come with any random member's sticker sheet. It's only available in the regular version of this album.

So this album comes with a CD, a DVD, a photobook/lyric book and 7 individual posters of the members.

7 posters: one for each member (sorry I was too lazy to unfold all of them and take pics of them all OTL)

This album is available on MWave Shop if you're interested.

 -----

Next up is some random Infinite stuff I got off a person named Katie Li on Facebook.

This Woohyun She's Back Limited Ed. A4 photocard has been on my wishlist for a while, so of course I jumped at the opportunity to have it!

How I have both my favorites: Sunggyu & Woohyun for this album :D *check* ...and I also have Hoya, whose card originally came with my album, lol.

I also ended up getting this postcard from the same person.

I also have Hoya's from my original album order... I want Sunggyu's too.. ;~;

 From the same person, I also bought this Christmas card thing that was for Japanese Inspirit only... It was too cute ;o; I couldn't resist!

This girl was super awesome, she gave me a nice note & some freebies! Those Sunggyu & Woohyun polaroids doe! So cute ^^

-----

Next up is Infinite's Last Romeo Japanese album (version B) that I bought off kikkawa19830530 on eBay.

It's in perfect condition and it was a good deal cheaper than YesAsia, albeit out of the original plastic packaging.

I won it on an auction for about $22, plus around $4 shipping.

This album is gorgeous too. I thought it wouldn't be that exciting since all the pictures are the same ones from Infinite's Korean album/promotions, but the photobook is really big and beautiful. I also really like the packaging ^^;;

-----

Next up is some stuff I got from YesAsia!

I originally ordered Infinite's That Summer 2 paper frames with this album to reach the minimum for free shipping, but they couldn't find any more stock of the paper frames, so they just sent me this album alone (the free shipping still applied though).

Anyway, this is VIXX's Rock Ur Body. I FINALLY bought it, haha. And I got super lucky with the CD plate too! I got Ken~ He's my favorite. It's such a cute album. I love the bright & happy colours... this was before VIXX went all super dark on us haha.

I also ended up getting this Infinite Last Romeo Jap. (Normal ver) album from YesAsia since I wanted to try my luck with the photocard. I ended up with a group photocard (not super disappointed but I wish it was Sunggyu or Woohyun instead :c).

-----

And LASTLY~ I got this paper frames set from Infinite's That Summer 2 concert goods collection. I was looking all over for these since YesAsia ran out, so I bought this set off a seller on eBay even though the box is a little damaged and dented.

The photos and frames themselves are fine, though, which I'm thankful for. These frames/pictures are so cute! Although the set is a lot smaller than I imagined, I'm still really glad I had the opportunity to get myself a set! :D

Wooooooo that was a long post! Alrighty, that's all for now! Thanks for reading my post :) Bye now ^^

K-pop - Recent Purchases (CDs + Infinite Concert Goods!)

Hello hello! I'm back so soon right? Haha.
I'm gonna share some K-pop stuff I got recently :D!

First off is Block B's Jackpot album.

I got my friend to get her mom to buy a copy of this for me in Korea since I knew there were only a certain number of copies. She's a Block B fan as well so she got her mom to buy 2 copies ^^

I ended up with Kyung's photocard ;~; Zico's actually my favorite in Block B but I'm not tooooo bothered.. I might try and trade him for a Zico card tho >_<

If you're interested...
Block B Jackpot album available on YesAsia.
-----

Next up is B.A.P's Unplugged 2014 album!
I just bought this copy off another person located in Vancouver (found through this Facebook group) for $12 or $13. I can't remember xD

...but it came with a Zelo photocard! He's one of my favorite members from B.A.P so I'm glad I could get this album at a cheap price with everything that was originally included.

B.A.P Unplugged 2014 available on YesAsia. (WOW it's only 10.99 USD o_o)

-----

Lastly are some concert goods I ordered from Infinite's "That Summer 2" 2014 concert. I got this phone strap, which is really cute! And the poster set.

Infinite That Summer 2 - Strap available on KpopTown.

Here's the tube that the poster set came in:

It contains 9 posters: 2 group posters and 7 individual posters, one for each member.

Honestly I think the individual ones look weird... Maybe except for Myungsoo XD So I'm gonna try and sell these I think.. if only Sunggyu and Woohyun didn't look weird... I would keep them :c But I only really bought this set for the group posters since I think they're super duper pretty ^^

Infinite That Summer 2 poster set available on YesAsia.

-----

I also ordered the paper frames but YesAsia told me that they're having trouble finding stock for the items T.T I don't know if I'll even end up getting them, which sucks.. I guess they were just a super popular item >__<

Anyway that's all for now! Cya~

K-pop - MORE Recent Purchases (Psssst... all Infinite!)

It's been a while again T.T
Yeah I'm only posting K-pop stuff now unless I have some clothing or other stuff that I'm really excited about ><

Anyway I got some more Infinite stuff :D Let's get right into it!

I bought these two Infinite albums from a person on eBay. At first I was only going to purchase the Japanese normal version of Man in Love (Koi Ni Ochiru Toki or KNOT as it's known as) pictured on the right for $7, but the seller offered me a copy of Last Romeo/Kimi ga Irebaii (Jap, normal ed.) also for $5 so I took it! Both of these came with no photocards btw. The KNOT album has a little crack in the top right hand corner, which is why it was so cheap, but I don't mind. I figured it's cheaper to buy the albums this way and collect the photocards separately since I don't really want to leave it to luck.

Next up are some photocards and stuff I'm VERY excited about :D
I found this person selling a bunch of their Infinite merchandise and photocards on Tumblr when I was just browsing the photocard forum, which I still can't get an account on! I think there has to be a recommendation from an existing member or something, which is really annoying. I want to be able to browse the trades and sales on there... but I can't without an account! Alright sorry for the tangent.
Anyway I ended up buying Infinite's KNOT pre-order group postcard, 2 Infinite Inspirit cards - Woohyun & Sunggyu, and also Sunggyu's photocard from Infinite's KNOT normal version album.

I also ended up getting Hoya's BTD (Jap) card for my friend Jessica.

So I ended up paying $140 for these cards altogether.
Original prices:
KNOT postcard - $10
Inspirit - $50 each
Sunggyu KNOT - $30
Hoya BTD - $20
But I got a pretty good discount (I would say), so it ended up being $140.

I've been looking for Woohyun and Sunggyu's Inspirit cards for a while now so I'm absolutely ecstatic that I have them now :D Woopee! I should update my wishlist haha.

 Lastly I traded my Myungsoo/L Be Back photocard for Sunggyu today! Yippee!! The Be Back photocards are uuuuuber pretty. Now for Woohyun's! (I'm keeping an eye on eBay for that one >.<)

Alrighty that's all for now~ til next time :)

K-pop - Recent Purchases (Infinite, Infinite & MORE INFINITE! :P)

Hello hello~ I'm back with some new K-pop purchases :D

Lately, even though it's not like I haven't been shopping for other things and whatnot, I only feel like posting about K-pop stuff >_< I'm not sure if it's because I've lost interest in posting about clothes and nails and whatnot.. or if I'm just more interested in K-pop stuff now that I'm more invested in it.. Either way I'm not sure if I'll continue posting other stuff besides Korean related stuff on this blog D:

Actually I kind of want to just make a separate blog for Korean-related things.. but then that means I probably won't be posting on this blog anymore unless I have a huge urge to or I feel like I have something really important or exciting to post. Ah I don't know.. if I create another blog, all the Korean-related things I've posted on this blog will be a little "wasted" I feel.. since it won't be archived on the same site. :S I'm not sure what I want to do, but for now, I'll continue posting on this blog.

Anyhow, I finally met up with my friend Emily a while back, and she helped me purchase a couple things from the Yahoo Japan Auction site, because her sister is familiar enough with Japanese and she agreed to get me a few things x) So I ended up ordering Infinite's Be Mine (Solid Ver.), since it's now out of print and unavailable from YesAsia and Infinite's Star Collection Card #66 (Normal, Woohyun), since that was the only normal one I was missing.
She clearly told me that in the description for the Be Mine album, it said that there is no extra random photocard included in the album, but it comes with everything else, which I was fine with. As a side note, this album originally comes with 9 photocards, one of each member, one group photocard and an additional random photocard of one of the members. Surprisingly, when I went home and opened it, I found Sunggyu's extra random photocard in the album :O! But the album is missing the group photocard. So now I'm just looking for that one group photocard, and I will be content! :P
I'm really glad I ended up getting the random Sunggyu card, though ^__^ That card was on my wishlist anyhow.
So here are some pictures of that~

8 Photocards, 1 of each member and 1 additional Sunggyu (bottom right)

Now I have all three of these! :D I don't think I'm going to hunt down the normal version because I don't feel a huge need to get it.. ><

So on the same day, I decided to hop on over to KR, which is my local K-pop/K-merchandise store, since their annual back to school sale had just begun, and I ended up picking up a couple things there as well~


This necklace wasn't on sale, but it's a dogtag necklace from Infinite's "That Summer" concert in 2012 and it was leftover merchandise from then, I guess, that had been sitting in the store for a couple years. I decided just to buy it since I do think it's cute ^^ and it seemed no one else was interested in buying it.

Also from KR, I picked up one of Infinite's New Challenge posters, since it was on sale for $3. I didn't want to unroll it to take the picture, but here's a photo from the handy dandy internet :D

I didn't really like any of the New Challenge posters when they first came out, but then I sort of regretted not getting any of them. There are 3 in total and I don't really like the other two:

(I guess this one's pretty cute... but Gyu and Woohyun look weird... lol :s I much prefer the one I ended up buying :p)

Moving on~
I can't believe I waited SO long to buy this Koi Ni Ochiru Toki (aka KNOT) limited edition album. It's so freaking beautiful. I can't even describe it! Yes, the album outside and cover aren't the prettiest... but the photos inside, the concept and all the booklets are just so gorgeous!

I ended up buying this album from this girl off Tumblr. I was specifically looking for an album, already opened, containing Sunggyu's booklet. This album comes with a CD, a DVD, a lyric booklet with pictures of all the members and an additional booklet featuring one of the members, given randomly. So while just searching around the internet here and there, I discovered this girl's Tumblr and purchased it off her. It was definitely not cheap. I paid $75 for the album, and another $25 for the bonus Sunggyu post card (given for free depending on where you purchased it from when this album first went on sale, but now it's rare). So in total, this album and the postcard put me back $100+. Not to mention horrendous Canadian shipping prices... but I'm glad I have it now :P

Sunggyu's booklet gives me life ._. he's so adorable xD If you didn't know already, he's my favorite from Infinite and quite possibly my favorite person out of K-pop overall xD

Sunggyu is so adorable.. ;~; I can't deal~ haha

Alright, lastly, I received Woohyun's Season 2 photocard in the mail today~ I bought this off of a girl on a K-pop merchandise group on Facebook, Ji Hyun Woo.Ah I feel like I should do a post about those K-pop merchandise groups on Facebook and other places for buying and selling K-pop merchandise online sometime.. I'll do it later :P

Anyhow, now I finally have Sunggyu and Woohyun's photocards from Season 2! Two more down ^_^

That's it for now! I definitely have some more stuff coming in soon so stay tuned for some more K-pop posts :D!
