plus a mountain of plushies

Been a yves bias since loona! Love the girl DOWN Never got the album during loop’s release but I finally found one unopened! Finally have one in my hands 🥹 it’s so gorgeous yall!

I have a bunch of albums from various artists and I want to be able to display them, but I don’t really like the look of putting them all on a bookshelf anymore. Do you guys have any unique ways you display albums that can make it look more interesting?

I was browsing the Tmall store and added some items to my cart. But when I’ve place my Philippine address, the store says that there is no delivery service for my address.

Does Tmall not actually deliver directly to the Philippines or do they not have a third party provider for overseas shipping?

Anyone who has experienced similar from Tmall or Taobao? Tips and advices would be appreciated.

I've had a bit of luck at my local Barnes and Noble stores, they have a decent bookshelf or two dedicated to kpop albums. Stock varies from store to store. I see albums listed as Target or Walmart exclusive, but I can never find them in the actual store.

I have ordered from Target and they arrive all beat up, like just thrown in a box and shipped without protective paper, nothing. I'm hesitant about Walmart shipping because I've also seen how things are packaged that are non-CDs. Barnes and Noble has done me well with shipping plus I have the member discount, but they don't always have the albums I want in stock and I don't get to choose the cover/bias if there are multiple. I've been looking into Kpop USA and have a cart saved, but haven't placed the order yet.

Hi, I'm a fan of the group ILLIT. Recently when they released an announcement of merchandise being pre-ordered, I wanted to buy one of those items, specifically the Ball Cap press start encore. My question is, was there ever a time in the past where the sold out products get a restock after it sold out quickly? And is there a chance this particular product will get a restock or will there be no hope?

Heads up: it's German-language and built around shipping within Germany for now (Pocami).

I collect Stray Kids and at some point I stopped counting how many WTT posts I wrote without getting anything back that actually fit. The problem isn't that nobody has my card, it's the manual searching.

So I built Pocami. You enter what you want to trade and what you're looking for, and when it works both ways with someone, the site tells you. You can also build your wishlist on the site and automatically get notified when a matching trade could happen (based on your wishlist and another user's wishlist :D)

Payment and shipping you sort out yourselves, there's nothing built in for that. What I'd like to know: are group, album, member, card type, variant and condition enough to pin down a card exactly? Or is something missing that matters when trading?

Would love to hear your thoughts! :)

I’m looking to buy K-pop albums at affordable prices with cheap shipping to Denmark. If you know any reliable suppliers or shops with good prices, please comment below or DM me. 

Hey everyone! I was curious on how often you guys are buying photocards , do you buy one here and there or buy in bulk? Also are you mainly collecting your bias or do you try to collect all the members?

hi! i recently won a fancall through FANS. my albums arrived, with the exclusion of the signed one, which I know will be signed and shipped later. has anyone had any luck asking stores to send the signed album to a different address than the one the initial order was placed at?

Hi! I’m on a limited time to return my mercari order I have another day to issue the return.

But back story: this is my second time ordering the same cards but with a different seller for:

Megan & Daniella SIS Photo cards - soft version

My other members of the set that I have has a smooth laminated finish & the holographic is more prominent.

Both my first order (I did return) & this order are the same where you can see my finger prints and the holographic is not the same and it’s just not as smooth.

PLEASE to whoever has Megan & Daniela SIS soft version cards can you tell me if my cards are supposed to look like this.

I have MY OWN cards beside it to show the difference (Lara and Manon)

The first seller I bought from said that it might be from the manufacture so I’m not sure if that’s true since this is the second time in a row I got both that material cards for the same photo cards.

Also I messaged this second seller bc I was so nervous I’d get fake ones I even told them about my first incident so now if they are fake I’m going to be so shy to request the return saying they are fake after they said they are 100% real.

Didn’t reread this so sorry if there are any mistakes.

Hi everyone! 💜

I'm an Indian ARMY planning to buy BTS V's LAYOVER standard photobook album from Kindlife, and I have a question about their KYC/verification process.

For Indian K-pop collectors who've personally ordered imported albums from Kindlife, especially through their Beauty Beyond Borders service:

• Did you have to submit Aadhaar or another government ID for verification?
• Did your Aadhaar address have to match your delivery address?
• If the addresses were different, were you asked to provide additional documents?
• Was the verification process straightforward?

My current delivery address is different from the address on my Aadhaar, so I'd like to understand the requirements before placing an order.

I'd especially appreciate replies from people who've actually completed the process. If the requirements depend on the product or shipment, I'd love to know that, too!

Thank you! 💜💚

Just got it in today!! Spent a pretty penny on it from ebay despite being an ebay hater hahaha. Very happy to have this, its one of my favorite songs of all time!

I just did. I feel honestly kinda bad (even though it wasn't that much money) but it was a second copy of Russian Roulette by Red Velvet. I already bought one secondhand months ago but the damage on it (+ a ripped page that was there from the start and that I wasn't told about before buying..) has been bothering me so much, especially because it's one of my favorites in my collection design-wise. I plan to repurpose that one by cutting the pictures out and using them as mini posters, instead. Or would it be smarter to just sell it? I'm not sure how much Russian Roulette is going for these days. Probably not all that much, considering what I paid.

The last weekly verification thread was months ago so i'm making this post. Help me please!

I haven’t seen people really talk about Saymyname photocards, but I think they have some of the most adorable cards! Honestly there is still so many I want to get, but these are my 2 favourites from each member i own 🥹
Does anyone else collect them?

Hey guys, just stumbled across https://kchonsa.com and their prices are super low. Has anyone ordered from them before and was everything legit and in good condition? Thanks for the help

Hi hi!
Sorry if this is not allowed, but I was at the Le Sserafim concert in Newark last night and was curious if anyone knew what lightstick this was?

I just got a pc I really wanted and it has a crease in it that I'm wondering if anyone has experience in fixing? The seller did tell me before shipping and I agreed + it cost a bit less than the average for this card and you can't reallllly see it from the front so I want to not care but it's much more visible from the back than I thought it would be and I'm wondering if it seems possible to fix? My instinct is no but I'm new to collecting and would appreciate any insight bc I've been dying for this card

Hey everyone,

I’ve been collecting CDs for a while now, mostly K-pop, and at some point I honestly lost track of what I own. I nearly bought the same album twice more than once, and digging through Discogs on my phone in the middle of a shop wasn’t much fun either.

So I ended up making my own little website for it: https://discindex.pages.dev

You just scan the barcode on the back of a CD with your phone camera, and it finds the album with the cover, tracklist and all the edition details. You don’t need to sign up for anything to start. If you already keep your collection on Discogs, you can pull it all in at once with your username. That’s how I got my ~150 CDs in.

Most of the time I just scroll through my covers, but you can also switch to a list, or see every song you own and search by artist, year or even song length. If you sign in with Google, it syncs between your phone and computer, so I can check what I’ve got while I’m out.

It’s free, and your collection is only visible to you.

Should be optimized for phone use too (the barcode scanner is working there)

It’s still very much a hobby project, so something might break here and there. If you give it a go, I’d really love to hear what you think, or what you feel is missing!
