Help me decide what to buy!

[maliciel]

Bookstore visit on Tuesday.

I decided to get a PB (since Nemousu boxset is made of expensive and hueg). Leaning towards Yuki atm, although Korisu looks really pretty in some shots Of course these are 2 out of many; and there's probably some girls that have awesome PBs I have no idea about. Bonus points if it's already in stock locally.

K, go.

[Blu-Cherri]

You could get erena's(second one of course) if you haven't got it, otherwise hmm...narita risa has one out now or soon too that's probably gonna be pretty epic if you're a boobs fan.
between yuki and yuko...I think I'd go for yuki's myself but I dunno it's a personal taste thing.

Super mariko is pretty epic if you haven't got that yet, it's more creative that other pbs and it looks awesome in real life(i don't have it but i've seen it...i think)

[SomethingWild]

I can vouch for the epicness of Yuki's book. I also dig Oshima Yuko's FIRST book, but that's a special one  Oshima Mai's book is great as well.

Buying PBs is so personal... it's all about preferences, I doubt we can help you with that. If money is an issue, Kojima's book is looking great as well and it's cheaper than most PBs.

[Melchizadek]

In my not so humble opinion, the best PB ever is T.O.M.O.rrow (Tomochin's) .  But I'm sure that comes as a surprise to no one. 

That being said, Haruna does look absolutely amazing in the preview pics I've seen for hers.

Out of the two you mentioned, I would go for Yuki's in a heartbeat. 

[Datalanche]

This is kinda like someone asking what stage to watch, single to get, etc. It's hard to say.  I could tell you what I'd do, but I'd rather say just check out scans online and see which one you want.

Yuki's is really good, but at the same time Yuko's new one is full of win as well. Oshima Mai's book is also a good buy, as is Sae's. It's all a matter of taste. I don't think there is a bad choice here.

[SomethingWild]

This could be a useful topic for me as well  I'm always having a lot of trouble deciding.

Things I want + thoughts:
SKE48 Concert DVD: pretty expensive         
SKE48 Book: really expensive + some uninteresting members
Weekly calendar: Small, but cool. Wouldn't hang it on my wall due to too many young/not that interesting girls haha. Want the bonus pics..
KojiHaru: Good price. Pervy cover.. scans will show up sooner or later.. haha.

Other option: wait for future Yuki, Kasai or Rena releases...

SKE48 Concert DVD: pretty expensive

And a bit of a gamble buying it blindly. At least it isn't several DVD's and tens of thousands of yen.

SKE48 Book: really expensive + some uninteresting members

True, and we've yet to see inside of this book. I wanna know exactly what is in it first.

Weekly calendar: Small, but cool. Wouldn't hang it on my wall due to too many young/not that interesting girls haha. Want the bonus pics..

Not much point in this one if you aren't gonna use the product. Also, as we talked about in the chat, you might regret getting those five free hits of AKB Picture drugs.

KojiHaru: Good price. Pervy cover.. scans will show up sooner or later.. haha.

Can't go wrong there, she is hot as hell. Remember kids and torrenters, buying a book once in a while means you help everyone get a chance to see those pair of boobs again!

Other option: wait for future Yuki, Kasai or Rena releases...

I'm waiting right along with ya on the first and third ones. Matsui Rena 2011 poster calendar FOR THE WIN.

[maliciel]

Well obviously this thread backfired

I made it with the intention of "hey, I wanna buy something, what's good and recent, show me some pics". I wonder if they have Pendulum in stock, still. I really like the adult feel of that book. And Super Mariko is just..wack.

SKE48 Book: really expensive + some uninteresting members

True, and we've yet to see inside of this book. I wanna know exactly what is in it first.

True. From what I've read it's definitely not a sexy book. And the tiny inside shots we saw in Gakuen and stuff lead me to belief that it is a bit magazine style.. but I'm not sure on that. It does come with bonus pic and love letter   The Rena one on auction went for 3500y, which makes the book cheap... unless you get an unpopular member haha.

show me some pics".

It doesn't get any better than this:



Perfection.

If you wanna buy a PB then I would recommend either Mariko's Pendulum or Kojiharu's new PB. Or you could save your money for Tomochin's new PB TomoHawaii

Thread revival!

Help me decide between Yuki Photore and the Fashion Book.

Fashion book pro:
-variety in girls
-variety in outfits
-SaeYuki

Fashion book con:
- some uninteresting/underage members
- some uninteresting outfits

Photore pro:
-can't go wrong with more yuki
-excitement in not knowing which cards you'll get

Photore con:
- seem kinda expensive for what you get


The price difference isn't that relevant, because even though the Fashion book is cheaper, it also costs more to ship, so it kinda evens out.

[maliciel]

I'd go for the Fashion Book.

I don't see AKB coming up with a collab-release like that anytime soon again, and even though some shots are a little weird etc, it's still quite a cool book to have. Not to mention you get a sweet-ass poster. And while I understand the need to get more Yuki, you should diversify your fap portfolio.

[SomethingWild]

A year later, a new luxury problem has arrived.

What to buy:

1. Five booster packs (=40 cards) of Tonooka Erica's card collection
- Not knowing what you will get exactly with a chance of some rare cards is part of the fun

2. The 2011 SKE wall calendar
- Previews looked good, 5 bonus pics

3. Travel Diary 2
- Rena/Kumi content, 2 bonus pics, cheapest out of these three options

^ give me link for 3.

and I lol'd about 1. ^_^

[Anariel]

Take 2. then.

[Meania]

1. You might not get any special cards or be disapointed- and selling on may be difficult. However at the same time the thrill of opening them will be fun!~ Oh and they'll end up being put away and not being seen every day like the calendar~

2. You use is as a monthly poster and sell it on later or if it isn't worth much- keep it as a poster (or cut into multiple ones~) and switch as desired~~ Though a calendar lacks the excitement of getting random(??) photos and maybe rare cards in the other two...

3. A book of various members and the shots, judging from their last travel book, are very fun and varied photos and unlike regular, quite staged, solo photobooks~ Plus they'll probably come with a couple of photos and you'll get the fun of the two bonus photos and maybe get a Rena one! Buuuut~ Books get put away and aren't always flicked through day to day- whereas a calendar will be on display to see every day~

I can't tell you which one to get, but those are my thoughts on each option!
