{ K-pop Collective Haul } Feb - Present Infinite Purchases

 Hellloooo! I am finally back to revive my blog... hahaha it's been 4 months just like that.. I'm awful ._."

Anyway yowza this is gonna be a long one but I finally edited all these photos of all this Inft merch I've been hoarding for the past couple months and I'm finally going to post em all, yay!

First off I got the That Summer 2 concert dvd off YesAsia. I had a $5USD off coupon so I thought I might as well use it and finally add this to my collection (yes it took me long enough I know but LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS AH so worth it!!!!)

So many beautiful photocards... +_+
Infinite That Summer 2 Concert DVD - YesAsia

-----

Next up I got my friend to get the Dilemma limited edition for me off Yahoo Japan auctions and I completed my Dilemma collection, WOO!

Just look at this WooGyu glory ♥____♥

-----

I also splurged on this Infinite Effect hoodie from KpopTown... I just decided to go ahead and get it since the concert I attended in January was Infinite Effect (and not IE Advance which is why I didn't really want the IEA hoodie ><) IT'S REALLY REALLY PRETTY ;___;

Infinite Effect Concert Goods - Hoodie (Type B) - KpopTown
(pssttt look, it's still in stock :x)

Next up is some stuff I got off Carousell (Singapore)

I was introduced into this secondhand Kpop merch market by my friend and fellow Vancouver Inspirit Nat (I both love and hate her for this LOL) and I bought a first press For You album with Gyu's photocard (ugh I still need Namu's sigh)

If you remember, I bought myself a normal ver of For You off CDJapan in an earlier post, but it turned out to not be a first press version with a photocard (grr still angry about that). I noticed there's a difference in appearance between first press and anything after, which is shown in the photo above.
First press versions have a sleeve and also a photocard, whereas any version after that is only the plastic case and it doesn't come with a photocard.

From Carousell I also bought a copy of Second Invasion Evolution Plus (in Japan) but the Korean version of the DVD.

Photocards hnggg I love big photocards <3

-----

Aforementioned friend Nat, also put together a book of Sunggyu photos from IE Vancouver and she was kind enough to offer me one too so I decided to order one :]

She's seriously the best for doing this ;__;

-----

I bought Woohyun's Be Mine (Jap) random photocards from the Pop Art and Solid versions off a seller on Facebook to complete my WooGyu Be Mine collection. I also bought her KNOT Woohyun postcard and she added in this #21 collection card (from vol 1) that I needed to complete my collection in for free :D It was pricey but def worth it cuz she helped me complete both my Be Mine and KNOT WooGyu collections ^^;;

isn't it so beautiful?! I could cry tears of joy from this ;-;

here's all my Be Mine WooGyu random cards hehehehe♥♥♥

-----

Finally, I bought Gyu's She's Back Jap. postcard and KNOT postcard (for Nat) off Yahoo Japan auctions. It was my first time winning an auction and buying something off Yahoo Jap. Auctions by myself, but luckily the English/International mirror Buyee made it simple.

Finally, my She's Back WooGyu collection is also complete :D It looks like a happy little family, lol.

Ahhhh finally at the end! Til next time~

{ K-pop } Sept - Dec 2015 Collective Haul

I'm back with a verrrrrrrrrrry overdue collective Kpop haul WOOT!

In the beginning of Sept, I moved so everything was a mess until I had time to clean stuff up.. plus school and blah blah blah, which is why I stopped posting here~ but now I have lotsa free time again so it's time to update!

I bought some magazine clippings of Sunggyu's pictorials that he shot when he was promoting his '27' album back in June/July~

Singles Korea Magazine, July 2015

Dazed and Confused Magazine, July 2015

I bought both these clippings off eBay user koreanstarshop1 but neither are available anymore ><

-----

Then I bought the 2 LP discs that Infinite released for the repackaged versions of both their full albums. These were SO EXPENSIVE but SO WORTH IT! 

These are limited edition so I wanted to get them asap ><
Paradise LP on Kpoptown here
Be Back LP on Kpoptown here


-----

Next up I purchased Infinite's "Grow" movie DVD off a person in the Vancity K-pop Merch group on Facebook.

It comes with a folded poster~

-----

I finally completed my WooGyu Dilemma photocard duo~ it was an awful process though because I bought it from this girl who came under fire because lots of people who bought from her via Facebook were getting clear signs that she was scamming us all out of our money. I opened up a claim on Paypal and everything, but then she suddenly sent it out to me and I received it in the mail. To my knowledge, a couple girls never received anything from her, so I think she would have gotten away with it if we didn't try to do anything. Luckily I actually got what I paid for....

You gotta be careful & ask for all kinds of proof when buying from people *sigh*
And never pay via Friends & Family on Paypal when you're supposed to be paying through Goods & Services because that could screw you out of some of your buyer rights/protection~

-----

I also completed my "Reality" photocard and real date card set!
I actually bought a Woohyun real date card from someone else before I received this one, but it arrived all bent in the mail. I was so disappointed and angry, but the seller did end up giving me a partial refund. She didn't package it very well, but it was in a bubble mailer. The postmen who dealt with it clearly weren't very careful though :/

-----

Lastly I finallllllyyyyyy got Infinite's "That Summer" concert DVD from 2012. Another funny but sad story but I actually accidentally bought the Japanese version from a seller, when I wanted the Korean one. I ended up selling it off, but I had to find another person selling this DVD and make sure it was the Korean one for sure before adding it to my collection~

Again, always ask for lots of photoproof to make sure what you're getting is what you want.. lol. Clearly I'm not great at that >__>

It's the photobook! Look guys I figured out how to make a GIF xD it's my first one ever~

Here's the Korean one (left) and Japanese one (right) side by side for comparison. They're really the same thing, except the little banner on the outside of the Japanese one has a photo of them, and of course it's all in Japanese instead of Korean.

That's all for now! See you soon ^^
