TXT - The Star Chapter: Together {POBs Overview}

Hi guys, Han here!

It's that time of year again - comeback season! As always, I have put together a list of all the POBs available from each store in Korea and Japan.

Edit: Visuals have been added - click to expand the images. K-retailers & J-Stores have image galleries!

You can find additional information about specific POBs in each listing. And remember that K-Stores and J-Stores have been grouped into one set of listings to make things easier to navigate - Weverse Shop Global is included in K-stores!

Weverse Global POBs

K-Retailer POBs + K-Events

There are 6 main stores that have POBs available in Korea, each offering different benefits for the Standard, Afterglow & Keyring versions of the album. (Slide across to see all the photos!)

In addition to the 6 main stores, there are a few other stores hosting special preorder events, but the POBs and album versions are more varied.

Note:

• For LG U+, the PCs are the same regardless of which album version you buy! Standard & Afterglow only!)

• For CU & Olive Young, you need to buy a set of standard PCs + Weverse Set to get 1 complete set of PCs (There are 2 possible sets available from each store though)

Japanese POBS & LDs

For Japan, there are POBs available from Weverse, UMS Japan, Tower Records & HMV. Please make sure to read the information regarding the shipping and payments for Japanese albums in my FAQ, as things work slightly differently. (Slide across to see all the photos!)

For Lucky Draws, they will be in 4 total rounds, and available at Weverse Japan & UMS.

• For both album versions (Afterglow or Solo Track Version) the LDs from the same store have the same design

• The LDs between the two stores are different.

• Round 1 & 2 have the same LD designs, while Round 3 & 4 will have a secondary LD design

  • Round 1 & 2: Order by July 11th, 10pm KST (Can sell out early)

  • Round 3 & $: Order by July 16th, 10pm KST (Can sell out early)

• If you purchase during the LD period, you will receive both the POB and LDs for one single order eg. If you order 1x Afterglow Set from UMS, you will get 1 set of UMS POBs + 1 set of UMS LDs

Most importantly, happy comeback! ;D

Massive 2024 Service Updates - New Services!!

Hi guys, Han here,

Happy New Year~~!!

With the new year, there are usually also many big changes, so I have so much news for you all!

To make it a little easier to digest, I've put it all together in a video, but you can read the brief update timeline below! :3

Group Expansion (Effective Immediately!)

Each group will now have its own page to make it less confusing when you want to buy anything, and each of the new groups will be added to the website once they have a release that I open a GO for!

The new groups will be: Seventeen, Enhypen, New Jeans, Le Sserafim, BoyNextDoor, Ateez & TWS (from_19 and &team will be added only if requested!)

For the new groups, I will only run GOs for comebacks, lucky draws, and Korea-exclusive releases. BTS & TXT GOs will run as normal!

Expected Update Timeline

January Week 1

• The Godiva giveaway winner & all survey participants will be contacted to receive your gifts!

• I will reach out to the beta test participants for the PC Buying Service

• Packing Insurance listing will be added to the website

• The Loyalty Points System (Sorting Priority & Package Insurance perks) will launch

Late-January

• Beta testing period for the PC Buying Service

• (Jan 20th) The 4-week free order consolidation rule begins

• Listings for Sorting Priority will be added to the website (The listing will be marked as sold out if there are no GOs running where it can be applied)

Early - February

• Move to the new apartment - woo!

Late-February ~ Early-March

• The PC Buying Service will launch

• Leftovers Sale for all the random merch I have left from GOs

• Album Buying Event - your chance to stock up on all the albums missing from your collection!

• Spring giveaways~!

Unscheduled Updates

• Loyalty Points System (Shipping Discount perk) launch - I need a couple of months to figure out how this will work

• Japanese Merch GOs - I aim to have these available by Spring or sooner!

As mentioned in the video, this post is just to serve as a VERY brief overview of all the amazing things to come, but the best way you can keep on top of everything is by becoming a website member or downloading the FMA app so you get directly notified whenever something has changed!

Anyway, let's make 2024 another magic year and enjoy stanning our idols!

Magic & Purple Hearts,

Han! ^o^)/~~

[23.07.16] General Updates & Shipping Schedule Reminder

Hi guys, Han here!

Today I just have a short and brief update about recent releases~ :3

TXT - Sweet Albums

All TXT 'Sweet' orders have been packed and shipping quotes have been sent.

If you paid last week (ie before Friday 14th) then your order will be shipped out by Monday 17th latest - I wasn't able to do a full post office run last Friday because of work, so I apologise for the delay.

If you haven't paid yet, then the earliest your order will be shipped this coming Friday~

BTS 10th Anniversary Book

All book orders have been packed and I sent out all shipping quotes this morning!

If you pay between now and Thursday then your package should be shipped out on Friday :3

As the books and glasses/mugs are fairly heavy, if you would like to change your air shipping quote to sea shipping instead, please just let me know by replying to your invoice email!

Other Items / Upcoming Releases

We've had a lot of sporadic and random mini-releases recently, so I just want to remind you guys of the upcoming release dates:

+ Secondhand Merch - Ready to Ship, quotes have already been sent. If you didn't get a quote, please let me know!

+ August Releases: D-Day Tour MD from Weverse & Festa MD

+ September Releases: JK Seven MD

+ October Releases: D-Day Tour MD (R2) & TXT Sweet MD

Things like Jimin & Yoongi's LPs, Tae's album & TXT's album are also expected to go on preorder during Q3, so those are some things to keep an eye out for!

Shipping Schedule

As I mentioned in my last post, I want to remind you all that I will only be shipping on Fridays moving forward (and will potentially skip a Friday if there are not enough orders to justify my coming all the way home from work during my lunch break.) You can read more details on why in my last post, but I really appreciate your understanding and patience!

Also, a reminder that your tracking is not necessarily an indication of when your item was shipped, you might get it early if I find time during the week, or slightly after shipping if I was too busy packing other things during the weekend. You can always find clear tracking information using any international tracking site (though I recommend Track17!)

Anyway, that's all for this brief but slightly overdue update! As always I appreciate you all and hope life is treating you well~!

Magic & Purple Hearts,

Han
