Still haven't preordered my albums but after seeing the covers I am definitely buying all three versions. Would love it if they release a photobook too.

Besides trying to collect all the member photocards cards now there is rubber keys and calendar too.

It has the same format and cover style as the last issue of sweet treasure newsletter. I finally was able to buy a copy of this...can't wait to get it in the mail. Hopefully they release info soon on joining t-ara korea fan club on daum...I know my membership got extended till aug. Hopefully they send out goodies again like last year.

thanks for sharing. I hope to get a copy of this newsletter or magazine soon. I believe this is the vol 4. =)

Try Yahoo auction japan. It's where I buy all of my t-ara stuff. i was able to preorder the banisuta albums through the hmv store so I got the limited poster then bought the complete raw photo set online. They have the lovey dovey poster up for auction at 300 yen or equivalent to about $3 usd. Ask your friend if he is able to bid. http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g124242523

yeah, I saw a seller from japan listed on ebay the complete 7 solo poster for about $320 USD plus shipping. which is like robbery to me, considering its a gift with purchase when you preorder through the hmv store. $80 for the lovey dovey poster...thank goodness I got mines free when I preordered it. if it were the T-ara freedom tour in Europe photobook then i'm willing to overspend...since I know its limited and I have yet to see someone with a copy of it. I hope to get a copy one day.

Yup. That is how it was for the banisuta cd too..u can only get the b2 poster from store preorder.

According to the official t-ara japan sweet treasure website...i used google translate...the link is below. if u preorder through the hmv store in japan not the hmv website order, u get a random poster of 1 of 7 members. The hmv online website u get a random solo shot photo. The giveaway item is different between the hmv store versus hmv website. refer to the post for 2013.02.05 「バニスタ！」News～！vol.2 http://www.t-ara-official.com/topic.html

Any of the website would be good. I have bought from all three and they are quite reliable. It really all comes down to how many albums u are buying...for me it comes down to shipping cost. It seems all three are offering the promo pix...yesasia doesnt mention it in their listing but I always get one when preodering. Yesasia offers free shipping for orders $39 n shipping time is about 2-3 wks for me n no tracking. while the other 2 are freight cost based on pkg weight and your location plus they offer different shipping options. If u plan to buy all 10 I believe cdjapan or hmv is cheaper. I usually make bogus orders from all 3 and see which is the cheapest. However this time I had someone preorder from japan hmv store because I want the poster.

same here. i missed out on the japanese 2012 calendar too. still on the hunt for it.

the poster is only available if you preorder from the hmv store in japan not through their online hmv website which you get the promo pix. yes, that's the calendar. worth $40? it should be priced between $20-$25. japanese items in general are quite pricey plus that prices includes the shipping cost. the calendar is quite big, poster size kind. i bought it just so i can add it to my t-ara collections. here's the link on diadem for the pixs. http://www.tiaradiadem.com/forums/topic/23441-pics-t-aras-2013-calendar-1117/?hl=%2Bt-ara+%2B2013+%2Bcalendar

If you preorder through cdjapan and yesasia, based on my past experience u usually get a promotional photo which is different from the photocard and its usually while supply last. Like in the bottom pix...I bought 4 cd so i got 4 photo from yesasia. Your right. The freebies like the special DVD, clocks, autographed shopping bag are only available in japan. And if you preorder through the hmv store japan store, instead of a promo pix you get a B2 size poster.

And to add to that. If u preorder now you get a random promo photo just like their previous Japanese single but if you order through the hmv store you get a random b2 size poster. of course while supplies last. I think to get the special DVD you have to fill out some form within the cd plus there are contests where u can win an alarm clock, autographed shopping bag and file folders.

U can play the cd in any player but for the DVD you need an all region player. But your able to use your computer, it is able to change region a certain number times (I think 3 or 4) before it locks on the last region change.

So far the only site that is taking preorder is yesasia.com

I already preordered all 10 copies plus some other random stuff. Lol. Impulse buy. Can't wait to get it. I ordered mines through yesasia.

U can order from yesasia or cdjapan.

@ Hussel. I ended up cancelling both my orders at gmarket and had my friend ask for a refund instead. It was cheaper for me to buy the part 2 from yesasia, it was about the same price maybe a little bit more but it's free shipping if over $39 so I got 2 copies. Plus i still had to pay shipping to me from japan n that is very costly. also, the company selling it on gmarket was korea base so they won't be selling it, it's to be sold in/from japan only. Yeah, I heard they cancelled peoples order through tweets on twitter. i ended up ordering part 1 from thailand t-ara fan club, i've order stuff from them before so i trust them. they have yet to ship it, there's problem with the photobook or something. so i'm patiently waiting.

thought i'd share how the photobook paris and swiss looks like versus a cover art. i guess that's the front and back cover of the book. i got this from gmarket singapore korea-mall page. i'm thinking this must be the part one italy. the book on top and to the left are the same, just one has the slip cover and one without. but it's only speculation. while the book to the right x 3, i know it's the first ptb released earlier this year - "freetime in paris" which has hwayoung included.

I ended up buying from the Thai-ara fan club once I cancelled my order from gmarket japan. I bought my free time in Paris from them earlier this year. It says part 1, hopefully it is, otherwise I will have multiple copies of the Paris and Swiss since I bought a couple from yesasia. I will find out once the item arrives, they sent an email a week or two ago saying they will start mailing the book oct 17 to 20.

The gmarket Japan n Singapore was taking preorder but ended up canceling all the orders and refunded the customers because they don't have the item in stock. Its not out of stock. The sellers company is based in Korea and supposed the part 1 will be only sold in or from Japan. I was one of those who originally ordered from gmarket. Soompi is very reliable. I have bought from them twice so far and I have no complaints.
