I am... LIMITED OBI?

[HiruNoKaze]

Actually it's a store called BookOff in my little city of Gardena. I'm about 20-30 min from LA. I think they have a chain... Anyway, thanks everyone for your help, you've been superhelpful, especially you Delirium-Zer0!

I think the most reliable places to go online for CDs are yeasia and cdjapan. Sometimes, eBay sells bootlegs >_<

Here's (miss)understood CD+DVD+photobook just 18.90, S&H just $5.60 worldwide. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-...d-70-16px.html

I am... just $16.90, S&H $2.60 worldwide. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-...am-70-trf.html

Original products, and cheap (OS versions), I bought from them COMPLETE CLIP BOX and (miss)understood -japanese versions- they sell both versions, they're really reliable, I recommend them.

I think it looks like the real thing, but I don't really trust e-bay.. even though I have never ordered from there XD
Buy it from Yesasia or CDJapan instead, so you know that it isn't a bootleg.

[HiruNoKaze]

So yea, I ordered off of Yesasia and blew a friggin' $67 bucks. (m)u + CDL05-06 deal. I look at all the old stuff and they never go down in price. That's just how Japanese stuff works outside of Japan I guess. So I figure the best thing to do is catch the deal. Oh btw, I wanted Japanese versions cause I like Japanese plus...I will be getting good at Japanese very soon... So OS versions just won't do it for me.

Hiru No Kaze: Kamikaze Anime is worth a look for older stuff... i used to live in Thousand Oaks (also a good 35 mins. outside of LA), but I'd take the Metrolink or have friends drive out there all the time. You should check it out ^_^

[HiruNoKaze]

Hey, thanks. I searched it up on yellowpages online though, and I didn't get anything...is it still there?

[Delirium-Zer0]

I have no idea, I haven't been in the LA area in over a year and a half now This was their number, try calling & see if they're still there: (213) 626-2915

Hi everyone.

I just bought the "I am..." album which comes with large obi and a first press sticker (the sticker mentioned that this is the first press version and it has special packing) in front of the album yesterday when I go shopping.
But the things goes wierd is: It has avex & MY STORY advertisement DM?!

The CD that I bought is 100% sealed & never opened before.
(The sticker & the original seal plastic will not there if the album has been open before.)
How come the CD is released in 2002 and it included the MY STORY DM?

Is the large obi is really RARE & limited?

[alt.total-loser]

No, I don't think the large obi is limited. There was a discussion like this somewhere else. I recently got my I am... CD and it had the large obi.

[shavoingin]

its not limited for the overseas version

[realize_!]

shavoingin beat me to it

you got the overseas version first of all. Umm... yea thats all I can say.

[alt.total-loser]

[realize_!]
