T-ARA's releasing a new photobook. Of them. In Europe. Being awesome. 500 photos. 15 dollars. It's possibly the most amazing thing in the universe. EVER. Like, pictures. Of. T-ara. What more do you need really? Even though T-ara isn't my favorite group, their products make me spazz.

It's unbelievable that it's about to come out.

With 7,000 copies.
Only.
Ever.
To be distributed between 65,00 rabid fans.
Fans who are much more prepared financially for this sort of thing.

WHAT THE FREAKING HECK.

The good news is that I can't find anywhere to preorder it, despite the published rumors of mass reservations. I'm hoping that means that when CCM postponed the release to October, they decided to print a crapload more copies. Or keep producing them. Or SOMETHING.

I hope they'll realize that they'll get just as much money making enough copies for eveyone. I want it so badly. I'll do whatever it takes to get it. Maybe with gift money this december? Surely there'll be some good prices on eBay when it comes out?

I don't want Mom and Dad to think I'm spending too fast.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RECONSIDER CCM!
PLEEEEEEAAAAASE!!!
So depressing :(



UPDATE: Okay, online it says there will be only copies of "the limited edition". Does this mean that they will later release more copies? Will they have less pictures? Different format? This is driving me insane.


UPDATE: Soooo.... CCM announced that they will be releasing 7,000 more copies of the photobook.
...
Mom says that means it's just a ploy and there's a ton of them in stock somewhere to be sneakily fed to the rising bids in prices.

But their old photobook, Sparkle, costs like $80 on eBay right now. On EBAY. I'm just like please pease please PLEASE stay reasonable till December, so I can buy you! The pre-order price is currently around $30.

I'm willing to pay that much.
I'm worried prices will spike once it's available...


Meanwhile, T-ara is also releasing this "compilation" of stuff from 209-2012. There are three different editions you can buy:

Music CD + Music Video DVD + Photobook = $70
Music CD + Music Video DVD = $50
Music CD = $30

The covers are all group pictures of them from their Europe tour. Like the Free Time photobook. I don't know if the photobook is, includes, or is part of their other photobook... but I must find out! The music video and songs don't include Day by Day or Sexy Love or anything. Honestly I wouldn't want it without the photobook.
Besides, apparently the other photobook comes with a compilation disk too...
I've only found one place to order it, so no other price estimates thus far...


UPDATE: Okay, Compilation Thing is NOT the Free Time photobook. It has like 70 pictures from the tour, which I believe are included in the other book. I've seen some sneak peak music videos from the Free Time and it looks SO AWESOME.
But anyways, conclusion is that Compilation Thing is not worth buying without their most recent releases.
