[PICS] Your After School Collection

Gokoulssj wrote:Since they are now showing up on ebay much, Im going to have to buy them from places like yesaia.com and hope I randomly get the one's I need. I'm completely expecting to have doubles or triples or more before the set is complete LOL. At least this way it still get counted for the sales, right?

@Gokoulssj, haha yep. Your collection sure has grown a lot since your first post in this thread. Pledis and After school should really thanking fans like you for saving them from bankruptcy

@SwePlaygirl I got pretty lucky with the Shh Mu-Mo versions, found them on ebay. I believe I'm done collecting the Korean albums for both AS and OC. So now, my focus is towards the Japanese albums (All versions). For some reason I completely space on BEST Mu-Mo version, I got the other 3 versions. OK, adding that to my list.

@Gokoulssj I have seen the Mu-Mo versions on ebay too, I got my E-young ver from there. I tried getting Heaven too from another seller, sadly it got lost in the mail but I got my money back. I too have done some hunting on ebay for the First Love albums. But I am sort of sceptical to what I will do. Since I only have E-young I could just order six or seven albums and hope for the best, or do even a smaller order. Or try and get some of ebay (but that might be more expensive and it won't always count on Hanteo and Gaon.) Or I could save more money and get them when I go to Korea summer next year, but maybe they might have sold out then.  So I have no clue on what I will do.

I did on the other hand find the first Happy Pledis album which is fantastic since it is the only AS album I don't have (Raina's Reset and digital singels excluded.) I also just recived a reply on facebook and I will be able to buy it there.
A tip for the First Love albums (and perhaps other ones in general) Yesasia and Kpopmart both count for Hanteo and Gaon. Kpoptown is cheaper for the First Love albums but I am not sure if it will still be cheaper with the shipping since I don't have an account there to check it yet.

What might be the even chaper is traiding one of your Lizzy albums with someone who has another member? Not sure if this thread has worked but maybe asking could not hurt? Once I have some more First Love albums I am going to start trading my photocards there. https://afterschooldaze.forumotion.com/t51-trading-member-cards

I wish you the best of luck on getting all the Japanese versions, you are extremley ambitious and we need more like you in the fandom! I have one version of each myself (3 soon to be for of BEST but that is the only exception.)

@PlayboyzAdam, Thanks just trying to do my part as a fan.

@SwePlaygirl, I have a rule that I only turn to ebay or yahoo auctions when I can't purchase them from sites that count towards Hanteo and Gaon, which would be some of the older albums. I just checked YeAsia.com and they have all the Japanese albums and versions for sale. So, it will be less of a hunt.

Ya, so my plan is to buy 3 First Love albums at YesAsia and hope I get the three I need. If, not buy 3 from Kpopmart and then Kpoptown until I complete the set.

I have seen that thread, but I decided until I complete the set I won't trade or anything. Once I have all 8 members then I will look into trading.

Thank you, I'm hoping to have all Japanese versions by Christmas.

@Gokoulssj That is a good policy for the Korean albums, it is just a shame that international fans can no longer help with the Oricon sales. Well I can but not for AS, which is a shame. But at least buying from legit sites like yesasia and cdjapan at least is a sure way of getting legit albums.

All together all the new ones look like this:

Spoiler:

@SwePlaygirl, That is a great collection you have going there. Where did you get those After School deck of cards?

@Gokoulssj Thanks! They are from the First Press Edition of Playgirlz, also contains the Premium Party Bang Bang DVD.

I grabbed mine from Yesasia:

@SwePlaygirl, thanks for the link

Was presented with this on Lizzy's Birthday. Lizzy's haircolor looks really good on the cover.

More adds to my collection

Finally found the Nana version, unfortunately the bottom right hand of the cover was damaged and no photo card, so I'm still looking for it.


In the process of trying to find the remaining 3 members (Nana, E-young and Kaeun) I got these 3. Another Lizzy and 2 Raina's


This is Orange Caramel's Lipstick / Lamb of Love Song Mu-Mo shop Limited Edition, All three member versions.


Raina's CD


Nana's CD


Lizzy's CD

@Gokoulssj Cool, wish I had a Nana version but I got Kaeun. Do you have Orange Caramel's Shanghai Romance? I've been trying to get it for years but every time I tried to get it from YesAsia they always say there's none in stock and they said they'll contact me when they get more.

@PlayboyzAdam I do have Orange Caramel's Shanghai Romance, I was getting the same message from YesAsia. One day I just got so frustrated that I just bought it from E-bay. If they ever get more in stock and send me the email I buy it also, just won't open it.

@Gokoulssj you got me so excited when I read that...but then you wrote this,

@Gokoulssj I like my AS album brand new...although I maybe need make an exception for Shanghai Romance at this stage.

EDIT: @Gokoulssj haha I just remember than you showed us that you had Shanghai Romance in one of your previous posts.

@PlayboyzAdam Sorry to give your hopes up.

Finally my First Love collection is complete!!!

Found the final 3:

Nana:


E-Young:


Kaeun:


All Members:


I also just received Lizzy stickers from Orange Caramel: The Second Mini Album:


I just need Raina to complete this set.

So, I've decided to start collecting the photocard sets. I know I may never get them all and again I will probably have duplicate copies. No big deal, the money will go to After School/Orange Caramel, so it's worth it.
