It will be much expensive than other albums. It is nice to see much more photos for girls but it really expensive with the adding shipping costs.
Are you sure the each photo books will be completely different and they include pictures just one member? I already made Taeyeon and Tiffany versions but if all of them is different I want to buy others too.
I guess next album SM make 72 different cover using different covers like Taeny, JeTi,…. :))
The individual CD links say that they’re all out of stock now, but all of the links that have CDs in stock choose which one you get at random. I’d really like to choose which CD I purchase, are there any other reliable websites that I can do this on?
With the amount of versions most of us are gonna buy, there better damn well be photocards.
At least I hope so :(
I heard that there aren’t photocards :/
aren’t any photocards** oops.
I’m so excited with their new album ^^
already so in love, I have to have it. If you haven’t seen the video for Dancing Queen be careful it was so cute I almost had a heart attack.
I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION. Is the photobook on the member’s versions will contain ONLY their photos? For example, in YOONA’s version will the photobook contain only her photos? Or not? Will it contain all the member’s photos on the photobook or not? PLEASE REPLY. A.S.A.P
Each version has their own photos. Yoona’s will only have photos of Yoona and so on with each version and the group version has different pictures of all the members together. I know,it sucks.
May I know which website is the best for preorder in USA
does anyone know if the posters will be like The Boys (Individual member + group) or just a group poster for all albums?
It seems to be that the poster is going to be One size fits all. In other words, same poster for every album.
ahh i see… thank u ^_^
Well, i just know that “Baby Maybe” is written by sooyoung, seohyun and yuri. And also “XYZ” is written by Yuri and Seohyun. That’s Great! Read this one http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Got_A_Boy
Ugh. . .Buying ten of these is going to break me for a looooong time. Being a SONE is like having 9 girlfriends, sometimes. ;-) But so worth it!
OMG thats so funny lol
I posted ur comment on AKP lol ur popular now XD

Oh my. I’m not used to being popular. lol I’m glad I can provide some humor to people. ;-)
nice
if I buy from DVDHeaven, do I have to choose international shipping, or can I choose the cheapest one? (I’m in the USA.)
You could choose the cheapest one. I always order from them, they seem to be the cheapest in my opinion. (:
actually i hope all the photobooks are different, because i will bougth more than one copy.
So I understand that there will be a ‘different photobook’ for each CD but does that include the poster as well or not?
@DJS Maybe you could email the administrators at DVD Heaven and see if they can do anything about it.
haha~!
SM don’t give you a choice to choose. :p
take it or leave it. mygeez!
“each version with a different booklet.”
SM really want me to be broke lol
OMG.. Dvdheaven just released the album with poster and I had ordered before. Zzz.. I hope the admin in dvdheaven will cancel my order, so i can order the album with poster..
Guess I gotta wait and see what everyone else gets!
Hope everyone gets the cover they want! We can always trade, yes?
Just realized that the packaging is the same as Twinkle’s and maybe even the design.
Wish SM used the same tactic they used in SHINee’s Sherlock. Where the cover was different but the photos inside will be the same whichever cover you took.
Apparently I Got A Boy is bigger than Twinkle :)
Twinkle is 13cm x 18cm x 2.5cm approximately~
I read that IGAB is 15cm x 20cm x 4cm which sounds about right given the booklet is 40 pages and hopefully (!!!) has a hard cover or at least a thicker one :)
man, SM sure know how to make their money –> “different photobook” for each copy. SM really is trying to kill Sones pockets/bank account(s). anyway i’m still going to buy 10 copies because i want each and everyone of them. can’t wait!
kamsahamnida SSF for update <3
10 copies?! Forreals! Can you, like… make a giveaway for all the other 8 copies? lol
Kidding (not really)! x))
I ended up getting all 10 as well!
I wanted my top biases (SeoBB and Sica) but Soo and Hyo are really high up as well.
Then why not get the OT9 one?
And what about Fany, Yoong, Yul, Sunny and Taengoo? I feel like not getting them means I don’t like them hahaha! What do I do? Do I get the OT9 one, my top biases and my secondary ones and then have only half the set? What if the other 5 sell out before I get some more?
*spends ALL THE MONEY*
Tough decision, and I’m poor for the near future lol but the individual photobooks make me feel better about it – at least it’s not just the covers anymore :)
I love how cheap Kpop CDs are after spending 7 years solely in Jpop fandom xD
The packaging is better than I thought it would be…I think I may buy Yuri’s one. I throughly liked how Twinkle’s cover came out, the way everything was placed and how the cd was presented so this seems worthly.
Time to spend more cash lol.
Publish in Malaysia too ?
I think you can find it at ‘SPEEDY’…or you can get it online : dvdheaven, kpoptown, ebay, facebook…
So it looks like the covers will be the first images that were put out from the teaser. Sunny, Jessica and Tiffany’s all are. The one behind Tiffany also seems to be Taeyeon in that hilarious blonde wig.
The packaging is similar to TTS’s Twinkle. ME LIKEY!! :D
Oh man, but buying 10 of those just because the packaging+photobook+poster is different? I’m broke.. :(
Our girls must have worked hard on this albums. It’s making me sad…. I actually just wanted one album, which was the group album. But SM really want SONE to buy all of them.
