General Updates [23.01.08]

Hi guys, Han here!

Here is a super short round of updates~!

BTS X Cookie Run Arrivals

All the orders for this have arrived, been packed and shipping quotes have been sent, so if you ordered anything above, please make sure to check your emails for your shipping quotes ^^

RM Indigo Lucky Draws

Unfortunately, I am still waiting for shipping from Soundwave for the Indigo LDs - it seems they had a huge number of orders and that's what is causing the delay, but hopefully they will be out this coming week.

LDs from M2U and Powerstation have already all arrived, so I will be sorting everything the same evening that the Soundwave LDs arrive to me, so I can try and get them out and in the mail to you asap!

TXT - The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION Preorders

All orders for this preorder have been placed on their respective shops~! POB previews have still not been released for the different retailers, but when they are released I will add the images to the listings so you can easily see what each shop is offering ^^

That's it for updates this week~ I hope the start of the new year is treating you all well <3

Magic & Purple Hearts,

Han

TXT - The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION Preorder Round-Up

Hi guys, Han here - AND TXT HAVE FINALLY ANNOUNCED THEIR COMEBACK!!!!!

And with it, they have decided to drive us all crazy with a million and one extra things XD So, I've put together this post to try and organise everything!

Weverse Preorders & Events

Now, I want to make this clear that I am only going to talk about Weverse GLOBAL because that is where I will be purchasing everything from!

Weverse Global's POBs are as follows:

Random album: 1 of 5 random holographic PCs + 1 random PC frame

Album Set: 3 of 5 random holographic PCs + 3 PC frames + 1 Group Postcard

Weverse Global Video Fan Sign

If you purchase an album through me, you can not enter the video fan sign through me. This is because you can only enter once per account and it must be in the same name as your MOA membership, and you have to show ID when the event happens. Sorry!

Korean Retailer Preorders

As you probably know, many Korean retailers have their own preorder benefits for each comeback. For this particular comeback, almost all of them have PCs and Postcards, so, for the first time ever, I have decided I will post a GO for these, but only if requested.

So far I've had a few requests, so I have already put up a couple listings, but if the shop you want is not there, just DM me or send a contact form and I will add a new listing ^^ There are no visuals for the POBs yet, but when they drop, I will do my best to share them on Twitter or update this post.

There will only be one listing for each shop, however, if you want a set, just add 3 to your basket, and I will purchase a set for you!

Signed Albums

I know there has been a lot of buzz about the signed albums (which are only signed on the postcard inside the album by the way!) However, the retailer for this is in the US, and realistically, it won't be economical for me to buy them, ship them to Korea, sort them, and then ship them out again, especially as most of you who buy through me are already in the states.

For that reason, I have no intention of hosting a GO for this, however - if you are DESPERATE, and will be willing to pay the extra shipping fees for these albums, then let me know. I will be purchasing my own, so there will at least be a handful to sort with, increasing everyone's chances of getting who they want. I also have a close family friend in the states who MAY be willing to do the sorting and shipping from her place in the states.

Again, only inquire if you are SERIOUS about spending all that money - and also be aware that the signed albums cost over $30 each, and are probably limited, so you'll need to let me know ASAP.

Anyhow, I hope this little list up was helpful for someone~

Happy comeback season!!!!

Magic & Purple Hearts,

Han

Upcoming Merch Predictions (End of 2022)

Hey guys,

I put together this list of potential releases that may happen towards the end of the year.

These are all just educated guesses to help any fellow collectors get their priorities in order xD

1 - Wooteo Themed MD

Honestly feel like this could be any time this week, and could be just a plushy or may be a whole collection 💀

2 - Weverse Black Friday Sale

I think it will most likely be TinyTan, BT21 and Weverse content that go on sale but there are still a few bits of random merch from old releases that they might put on sale; just something to be mindful of.

3 - 2022 Dalmajung Restock

After the initial sale they were selling this MD at the Busan concerts, so I feel like there is still a small chance they might restock if there was still leftovers from there. (Yes I am aware they say 'discontinued' at the moment, but they've done this before too.)

4 - RM Solo Album (& Lucky Draws?)

If all the rumors are true, then the official release will be November 25th, which means the promotional information and preorders could drop any day now. Personally I'd put my money on next Monday being the start of preorders!

5 - New TXT Album

This one is a bit less concrete but Yeonjun and Hyuka recently spoke about the concept for their next comeback in a live, so that makes me think things are already concrete and they just need time to recover from their tour. I would put money on the preorders opening this month with a release in mid-Dec latest.

6 - Jin's Photo Folio & Soobin's Birthday MD

Obviously with their birthdays being early December, the preorders will likely open in the last week of November, just before or during the Black Friday sales (don't expect any discounts though!)

7 - BTS & TXT Little Wishes Holiday Collection

They did this last year for all HYBE artists and in my memory it seemed to sell really well, so I don't see why they wouldn't do it again this year. (This could also potentially be our last OT7 MD this year :c)

I can't remember the exact sales period they had last year, but I think I remember it arriving before the holidays so the sales would need to be early December latest.

8 - TXT (and maybe BTS???) Seasons Greetings

Preorders typically start mid/late-November to early December, with these shipping around the 20th-ish domestically, so they arrive before the new years. I was fairly confident we'd get a BTS one until I saw the calendar in the Us, Ourselves and BTS folio, so now I'm not sure... 😥

9 - V's Photo Folio

I expect sales to start mid-December and release on/around his birthday as with all the others.

10 - Weverse New Year's Concert Tickets

BTS almost definitely won't be in it as a group this year, and I dunno why but my gut tells me the members won't be performing their solos here either, but that's just my conjecture. TXT on the other hand, I expect to see in their full force!

Tickets will likely open early to mid-December and the show will be on New Year's Eve as per usual.

11 - MOA Membership Renewal

I expect the announcement to be late-Dec or early January, with the renewal period also being in January, as this is what they do every year!

So... how's everyone spending their pennies? XD

But in all seriousness, I hope this list is helpful to someone!

Magic & Purple Hearts, Han
