i've got my order today!! i will post pics in the evening!!
And I used HMV Japan. I've got ASIA TOUR for 39$ usd and CDL07-08 also!!!

I got Asia Tour Overseas version...-.- finally...I'll take a pic later. :D

I FINALLY RECIEVE & SINGLE FROM K_K!!!! I'm so happy <3

^Yeah, or you should buy the Hong Kong versions from AHS but are not released soon.
So yeah, I guess that HMV Hong Kong is the only option.

what version did you ordered Kris ?

:yes

HMV HK's <3 , I buy quite a lot of CDs/DVDs from them already & they're all OS presses

shipping charges are reasonable too

sorry for double posting but these're what I have of ayumi & practically all of them are OS presses since I don't believe in paying so much for Japan presses where I can get OS presses at a fraction of what the Japan press cost .

- A Song for XX
- LOVEppears
- Duty
- I am ...
- RAINBOW (China pressed)
- MY STORY (CD + DVD)
- (m)understood (CD + DVD) [I have both photobooks on my way & off my day as I sold away the CD only edition]
- Secret (CD + DVD) [came with the poster which I got when I bought the album at the local HMV , it's in my room now :D]
- GUILTY (CD + DVD edition) [I have the photobook . I bought it alongside with the CD only ver of the album from ebay although now I sold away the CD only ver of it . When I bought my copy of GUILTY from the local HMV , it came with a double sided poster but I sold it to zoomzoom/Eric as my house has no space to put the poster on the walls lol]
- A BEST (China pressed)
- A BEST 2 BLACK & WHITE both CD + 2 DVDs for both
- MY STORY Classical
- Memorial address EP (CD + DVD)

Others :

- Asian Tour '08 Keychain that I asked my Japanese friend to get it for me on my behalf from mu-mo
- 2 GUILTY postcards
- ATOS DVD
- arena tour (m)understood DVD set

I'm waiting for Warner to bring in stock on the OS press of the CDL'07 - '08 DVD

I ordered the Hong Kong version.
but I wish it would arrive.... waiting takes so long.

sorry what I mean's did you ordered the CD or the CD + DVD editions ?

if so , the one that you ordered , it comes with the 10th anniversary of YOU or DOY ?

next time use HMV HK to buy your stuff although you need a debit/credit card to pay for your purchases cos they don't accept PayPal

I ordered the YOU CD+DVD Hong Kong version. :laugh

But only because the Japan First Press was sold out.

oh

the First Press as in those long slipcases which house both the CD + DVD together ?

I saw a LOT of OS presses of the long slipcases in the local HMV though . In fact I just saw a whole buncha them just yesterday for both the YOU & DOY version

if you want , I can buy & mail them to you LOL

^Yeah they are.

XD why are you telling me this now?

-_-'''

cos I would have assumed that you have them of sorts

er apparently not

somemore I believe if I were to get the deluxe editions of the singles , I will get the poster of the same cover . Like if I were to get the 1 which has YOU in the tracklisting , I will get the poster of it & etc

I don't know if HMV's still giving away the posters , I have to call & ask them about this later on since I want to know whether have they brought in ARASHI's One Love single

maybe I will get a poster too...
Well, if I don't I'll just order it :laugh

I still need to have some things. :sdevil

haha ok :laugh

I just called HMV up & yes they still have the promotion going on in that if I were to buy either the YOU or DOY long slipcases of MW , I will get the poster

so which means to say if I were to get the DOY version , the poster's pic will follow suit as what you see on the DOY cover & vice versa

It cost S$17.95 btw , excluding shipping

thanks for the info.

EDIT: does HMV HK also ship overseas?, do they sell Japanese versions? and is the shipping expensive?

yes HMV HK does ship overseas & yes they do sell the Japan press of singles/albums .

shipping - not really because you have an option to choose in whether you want to go for standard shipping or premium shipping unlike for HMV Japan where only EMS is used

but regarding whether is it the long slipcases ones I'm not sure you have to contact them about it

http://hmv.hk/search/search_2008.asp...+world&fmt=Any

a big hint on whether is it the OS or Japan press is the price & also the serial no too

I think it's quite annoying that they don't have pictures of the product.

yeah it's a bit annoying but it's fine with me , I have been buying stuff from them since March & I have no problems with them in that I can buy OS presses of albums/singles & shipping charges are pretty reasonable too

the only problem's that they take forever to process my preorder

btw Kris if you wish to get hold of the long slipcase singles of MW with the posters , let me know via PM before the posters are all being distributed away

Err guys, I don't mean to be rude, but this is turning into a chatroom.

There is a Collector's Talk thread to talk about all this. Or better, take it to Private Messages.

It's fine to answer a few questions, but this is almost an entire page of chatting. This thread is meant to post pictures of your collections~

oops sorry for that because I didn't expect things to have some sorta snowball effect
