Finally, been waiting for quite some time already since the AKB48 Complete Book 2005-2008.

ohh difficult desision...
With both team A and K I love some members but don't know most of them
I will have to wait and see full scans or something before I can decide whether to buy any of these ; 3 ;

Only 3 pics.. the old visual books came with 5 iirc

Might get the Team B one if the Euro picks up again.

edit: hmm.. I forgot all the super lolis are also in Team B

but also Yuki, Kasai, Rie and Amina... that's a pretty irresistible line-up.

edit: I guess this is the A version cover:

with the three photos, will they e group shots or selected members? I'm almost willing to get it!

This is REALLY tough; my favorite AKB girl is in Team A (Lovetan), but I'd probably prefer a Team K book overall.

I've ordered all three. I didn't really want Team K, other than Reina and Tanamin, but I found a good deal on the auctions and got all three books for the price of one. Works for me!

Each foto will feature one girl. No group shots. In addition, the pictures are randomly inserted into the books, which means that you might get photos of girls from team A and K in the Team B book.

^ thanks BV! If I get the same cards or so, we'll trade!

Datalanche · « **Reply #16 on:** July 25, 2010, 03:35:39 AM »

FML. I bought A. I nearly bought B but since I am supposed to be saving some money I decided to do without. Since it's only three per book, there's just too many chances for meh cards in B for me. I also bought K but I won't be getting it until late next month. I threw it in with my Perfume single and Heavy Rotation discs.

Quick question-- Are these Limited edition- or will these remain in print while people continue to buy them, or until the 2011 one is released?
I'd like to buy team A and K versions but it won't be a for a couple of months ; 3 ;
So I was wondering if I should be trying to push the time I buy them forwards or relax and wait until I have the money spare and can buy some things in bulk~~

^It's hard to tell. I think you'll have some time, but the old visual books did sell out eventually...

Just keep an eye on them and if they run out on one site, quickly order them from another one
