I got mine at ebay from a middle-woman. her name is keiko. here's her store:

http://stores.ebay.com/Punk-Rock-and...QQftidZ2QQtZkm

Mine was USD$22

Thanks apple-pi!!!

Any idea where I can get those CD+DVD casings? I mean those that are used in Japan pressed albums/singles. Overseas version are just some random casings that allows your lyric booklet to drop out whenever you open them :S

^They probably stole them and left 18/22USD behind...

The keychain is 1300yen, and middleman fees vary... (For something that's 1300yen, from what I've seen, the middleman fee is between 500 and 1000 yen.)

I won Moments from dora^^

When using a middle-man to buy things on a japanese website, the fees are charged on the TOTAL of what you're buying. At least, that's how it was for me, and I've been using Crescent Shop(which I'm very happy with). You can see a few details on their fees here: http://www.crescent-shop.com/shopping/shopping04.htm

Though it's a bit confusing, because it really depends how much you buy, and it's sort of a case by case kind of thing.

I bought for about 16,500 yen of stuff on mu-mo and it didn't cost me more than 200$USD with shipping, taxes, fees, ect...

Soo exicted! I just won five Ayu singles (with obi :>) for $22! I hope they come soon so I can post pictures.

Congrats!! That's so cheap! ^^ What singles did you win?

i'm sorry, i don't think we can get those in singapore.....

well it's different with each middleman, and the shipping too. since i live in singapore, so the shipping to here is lower

^ I think I'll buy them online if its available...

eBay is the best site for cheap singles.

@♥ you! and @Monkey_D_Ruffy16

Congrats for both of you!
I hope you can take pics for your singles! ^^,

..............................................

Finalfdp - O_________O THAT IS SO MANY AYUPAN. And so much tour merch, too...I'm jealous!!

Oh you got alot of dearest-pans. ^^

Thats a LOOOOT of Ayupans...

^:yes I agree.
I really love the MY STORY one.

@Finalfdp

How much did you pay for each of AyuPans and where did you bought it? :|

I bought in the mu-mo site through a Japanese friend.

How big are those Ayupan figures?

Waaahhh! So many Ayupans!!! ^_____^

If you're selling extra, I have my eyes on 2-3 of them~

Are tiny and very cute´s xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/2514/p1010214gd1.jpg

^Indeed, that is tiny.

I have a dilemma here: I want to buy Mirrorcle World (CD+DVD) but I can't decide if I should buy the Depend on you version or the YOU version. I love Depend on you (song) but I'm in love with they YOU cover.

And then I'm also planning on buying the poster with the YOU cover on it.

^ Buy the CD+DVD version with the MW - You Cover plus Poster and then buy the CD-only single with Depend on you.

^:laugh What a smart idea.

Personally I'd buy the Depend on you version if I were you. I personally prefer the YOU song better than Depend on you one. Covers don't really help me get it normally. The Depend on you cover is pretty nice too. :)

^I like the YOU cover better.
Maybe I should do what Empry says. I'll post a pic when I have it :laugh

That's exactly what I' about to do. LOL.

Btw, would you maybe interested in trading one of the photos from the STEP you/Ladies Night performance for another concert photo?

I now had access to a camera so I have my updated collection =D!

NOTE: There is no scratch in the Memorial address case, the way the light hit it with the flash made it look that way ;_;

Yea glitter/fated will always hold a special place for that one reason hehe :heart
I don't think CDJapan still has the first press, I just checked and it was actually sold out. I recommend looking through eBAY. I only buy from two sellers and I trust them 100% they always have official copies and in really good condition. Check on mindofjapan and Dora's Store, if they currently don't have (miss) understood up for bidding then you could check back again next week.

Another thing you can do is personally contact them through eBAY, I've contacted Tsuyoshi (Dora's Store) before and he has actually found CDs for me he didn't have up for bidding. So that's another alternative!

Good Luck! :sheyhey

Any idea where I can get Ayu posters from?

^YesAsia :yes
Or eBay, Amazon.co.jp or some other auction site.

Do you have any AT06 or AT07 photos? If you like, you could PM me with some of the photos that you have and we'll go from there. ^_^

New from Yesasia:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ame/newayu.jpg
Trust is Overseas version, Moments is Japan Version (CD only)

^Nice, I envy you.

All of the (m)u albums available on online website stores(like CDJapan, HMV, ect) are out of stock or sold out concerning on First Press(which included the photobook).

Your best bet is to check out on eBay often, or Yahoo Auction Japan if you don't mind using a middle man. Though I haven't seen any on eBay, I used YAJ a lot and I just bought both copies of (m)u (CD and CD+DVD) with photobooks last week. Also, sometimes you can see the photobooks sold on their own without the album (I purchased the GUILTY photobook on its own not too long ago).

You've got a pm, Earth_maiden :D

(Sorry, for the self-promotion but if anyone is interested in purchasing the (m)u photobook on my way then pm me. I have two copies of it that I could sell or trade).

Other merchan...

Yeah, the originals got busted during transit. It was the center piece on both, so the two pieces fell apart every time they were opened unless they were switched out. The insides are still clear, though, to show the inside cover --- it's just the center piece that's black. I think it makes those particular designs look better, to be honest. :)

Whoa Finalfdp you got so much stuff! I'd love to have like 2 percent of it...


I got my things from kawaii_kisses today!! :shimmy

W-where did you get that necklace?
I would do anything to get it.... :thud

^ :mini

I basically bought one of the AT05 keyrings, took out the key symbol and put it onto a necklace :yes!

Where can I find these so called "AT05 keyrings"?

Your best bet is Yahoo Japan Auctions :)

Oooooh~~ So, that means I could order it through CELGA or Crescent shop... *:sdevil*
Are the shipping costs expensive?

tomorrow!! I WILL GET ASIA TOUR, CDL07-08 AND MIRRORCLE WORLD DEPEND ON YOU VERSION FIRST PRESS!!!!!!

No the shipping won't be expensive. But the MY STORY cell phone straps are EXPENSIVE. They are quite rare, and I've been trying to get one for the past month or so. They don't sell for any lower than 4000-5000 yen which comes to approximately 50$. It's ridiculous...

Did you get the 4th dvd in it? :mshock

Yep ^___^

http://i26.tinypic.com/28ix0jo.jpg

Whoa, how much did you have to pay for that?

I bought it for 8,000yen without Crescent Shop's comission, I can't remember what was the exact total...

Lucky......... :dead2 must own it one day....

^^ :faint

I must own one too!!!! :faint :faint :dead2

Where did you get that whole collection of 12 cms?

me too.

Yahoo Auction Japan. They came all together :3

^Wow, I really envy you.
How much did you pay for it, if I may ask?

It was 5,700yen without commission and fees.

^So, that's 52,80 USD.
then that means you paid 6,60 USD for 1 CD...?

Wow, that's not expensive. (for Japan version)

New singles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been waiting and waiting for a NEW Complete Clip Box to be released. I wish it would come out very very soon. :(:(:grumpy:grumpy

My collection is SO small! I only have A Best A Best 2 Black, I Am..., (miss)understood, Secret and the & single so far...

^At least it is bigger then my collection.

Buying online so miles away from Japan it's hard and expensive!

^How about YesAsia?

WOW Finalfdp you've got a lot of merchanside stuff X__X *jelous*

You've get them all at once?

I brought "everything" at HMV Hong Kong... I guess it's the cheapest one.
