    Confession time... I was cleaning my floor earlier and found I hadn't opened my Team A PB (when it arrived I was more concerned with the Momoko PB I'd also ordered, so put Team A aside and it got buried... :roll: ). I'd also forgotten about the photos in the back until I noticed the PB wouldn't bend properly. :lol:

    I didn't know any of the girls, so had to crawl through theppn to get their names-

    K- Umeda Ayaka (Flare) (why do I know her name? I think I read it here somewhere...)
    K- Kasai Tomomi (Blue)
    K- Naruse Risa (Blue)
    K- Ono Erena (Red)
    RS- Uriya Akane (Heart)

    Now they're residing in hellopro store plastic slips, with their names written on the plastic.... :p

    Kind of want to buy the other Team PBs now, just to collect more photos... :lol:

    Ange, have you gotten a chance to look over Natsuki's answers?

    Probably because she wasn't in the Himawari Stages, yet she's a great singer.

    ^Thank you so much! No rush at all. I don't really need super-detailed answers (not that there really are details). Just the main idea!

    Haven't received that e-mail yet, but I guess it's just a matter of time.

    I use Paypal and when they cancelled my original H1 DVD order, they sent the money to my Paypal account.

    For me, Amazon is a no-no, period! The shipping cost I was quoted was well above the price of the book. I don't know about HMV either because I've heard their shipping costs can be expensive as well. (To UK)

    Last time I looked, there were a lot of them on the Yahoo!Jp auction site, but the BLT photos aren't included.

    Ah well!

    If you're pre-ordering any AKB48 stuff via amazon and you want your shipment to arrive near the release-date, it's the best choice.

    Though you'd actually pay about US$6 more than if you order from YesAsia.

    My experience with Amazon has always been good because they always send my pre-ordered items usually on or 1 day after the official release date. :D

    Just my 2cents.

    Well I'm either getting it from amazon or the bookstore in the city. I just hope I still get the BLTs too >.<

    Point taken! :)

    Amazon actually quoted me about $37 for shipping, taking the total cost for one book, including shipping, to about $62. I ordered two from YesAsia for a little more than that (albeit after redeeming a $5 coupon). YesAsia are definitely slower, but I don't mind the wait because I know I won't have to worry about charges from Customs.

    With regards to DVDs and CDs, I was also impressed by CDJapan. I received my "Romance, Irane" CD/DVD on the 24th January, 2 days before the official release! :)

    The BLT are still included in the PB if i'm not mistaken. But i have ask the bookstore in my country, they said that all 4 books are currently running low on stocks. So i have to wait for a while if i wanted to place and order T.T

    Anyway i'm going to get Team A's PB later ^^

    I gave them a call, it was the second time my order was delayed for the RS book.
    and I did ordered a B book from them, stock was available when I placed the order, and the next day, they said it was out of stock.

    anyway, i just bought the RS book yesterday from a local store in hong kong, cost about $5 more, but who cares, as long as I have all 4 books now and I'm lucky to get a signed BLT.
