whats inside the folder?
does this means its not japan made?(hongkong cd+dvd+folder)

I guess it is just a folder(with the picture of the cover of the magazine) that comes with it as a bonus and I doubt there is anything in it. And yes, it's not the Japanese version. It's the Hong Kong version(made in Hong Kong) but it is official, not a bootleg. I've bought from this seller before.
I put up the link of the Hong Kong version because I know that not everyone can afford to pay about $44 USD for the CD+DVD version.

Bad news I have no email confirmation for once. The good news is....

my order is in the shipping process, Baby Action and Love Survive are coming soon .clap.

First post! Been lurking around here more often after AM2 stuff =]. Anyways I have a surprise for you all =D.

Wooo got it 4 days early. I preordered the album on vacation at a HK store and expected to get it the day before I leave, however, it came in today (sat in HK) and they called me up to say it was ready =D. To clear up some confusion, the Baby Action magazine has interviews/lyrics on why they wrote the song(darn was hoping they messed up and it was a photobook, oh well =/), BUT it has some damn good pictures. Haven't had time to listen to the songs yet because I'm on vacation and family time is important (grandma/grandpas =D). May post rips (if allowed) in the next 24 hours because I'm really tired from walking 10 hours around HK. Anyawys, enough of my fanboy ranting =D. And no, I'm not going to scan the pictures beacuse 1. no scanner here 2. on vacation 3. by the time i get back home, the scans will be out =] so please dont ask.

Thanks for informing that scanned pictures are not allowed(new to this forum). Seeing as official products are not allowed(it seems), I will not be posting mp3 rips =[ unless given permission by a mod =o.

^ awesome! thanks for the info, that's the version i ordered too. can't wait to get it. oh, and have a good trip!

Thanks for confirming the HK "early release."

There are a few spreads in the magazine where they're holding up signs with the the time written on them. It's exactly what you see on http://www.bijint.com/ ; since the site is known to do collaborations I expect to see the girls make an appearance after the album is officially released.

wow how'd u get it 4 days ealry?? wow thats really cool! thanks for sharing! man now i cant wait for my copy.....................................waiting.........

I'm thinking of getting the magazine version and noticed there's a big difference with the price between PlayAsia (U$46) and CDJapan (U$51). And thats not including CDJapan's killer shipping fees. Anyone knows why? PlayAsia seems to be cheaper. I was thinking it should be more expensive since they have to import it from Japan and stuff.
Thinking of buying from PlayAsia since the shipping is also cheaper. But I'm worried it might be the Hong Kong version (which I'm sure is not) or something.

$5? I wouldn't really call exactly that a "big" difference, but when you take into account the shipping, yeah, there is a little more of a difference. Rates vary depending on your country, but this is how much it would be for shipping to the US: If you go with PlayAsia + their cheapest shipping, it would be about $49.39. If you go with CDJ + their cheapest shipping, it would be about $61.24. Yeah, now that is a difference.

I'm not sure why they're cheaper, but hey; since both companies sell the same exact thing, I'd say go with the cheaper company/PlayAsia.

And unless it says specifically that it's the Hong Kong version (there's only one up on PlayAsia, and that's the DVD version), then it will be the Japanese version. It'll also have a little Japan flag next to the photo of the CD.

I always use CDjapan even if someone call it "expensive" because I found it the faster ^^ I don't know how much playasia is fast.
I really want to buy the magazine version...but I don't have money XD damn

Oh yeah.. thats what I'm talking about.
Guess I'll go for playAsia then. But CDJapan is giving a sticker if I buy from them. Daaamn... This sucks.

another thing to think about is CDJ gives out all the Japan First Press materials when available like posters, buttons, and stickers. i'm not sure if PlayAsia does or not. can anyone confirm if they do or not?

i bought a magazine edition from CDJ but i'm looking to get a DVD version now too. i found this on eBay and it looks like some sort of HK Limited edition. it's a great price, has free shipping, and comes with a "folder" and the DVD. anyone know what this folder is about?

As for as I know only CDJ and HMV gives out First Press materials. Never seen PlayAsia giving any.
As for the DVD version on eBay, the guy did posted a pic of what looked like a folder cover. Looks like its for storing A4 paper or something.
PlayAsia is selling it even cheaper. But it doesn't come with this folder thing and I'm not sure how much will the price increase if you add in the shipping fee.

just a normal folder, nothing inside............

I never personally used PlayAsia, but from what I'd heard from those who used HMV, PlayAsia, YesAsia and CDJapan, YesAsia and CDJAPAN is fast with their shipping compared to PlayAsia, at the cheapest shipping option.
I'd used HMV before, and I'd always have to personally confirmed right before shipping, which I find irritating.

I will agree it does seem more expensive, and am bias since i have not tried another company. CDJapan to me has great customer support and the thing that keeps me going to CDJapan is that they have frequent shopper points which can help with your orders. I had over 1200 frequent shopper points (calculated in yen) which brought my Love Survive and BABY ACTION order from roughly 80$ USD (I choose fedex shipping the fastest available) to 68$ USD.

And the bonus stuff I get from CDJapan is always great.

Just got an email that CDJapan has shipped my copies

same here, with no huge extra shipping charge added .clap.

Thank you for shopping at CDJapan.

We shipped your order today.

damn can´t wait ! .hora.

I just got the same message from CDJapan !

Perhaps we will be one of the lucky one's and get a free poster !

@tonymiller i hope so . . . . come on CDJapan .please.
