Hello all!

As you can tell from the title of this post, I have made my initial purchases. Because I live in the U.S., shipping was a big concern for me, so I wanted to go with the most reliable sources. After chatting with a few of you and looking up several reviews of YouTube and other sites, I have decided to purchase new cd's from kpopmart.com and used cd's from amazon.

The used cd's I have ordered (all from amazon) were purchased for a very good reason...they are no longer available new. The cd's below are the titles I ordered and if you can't tell, I am kind of biased:

Best part of the used cd's besides the prices (all 5 were purchased for just over $70) ...The Wonder Girls CD is autographed!

FYI: If anyone has a good lead on how to get Rainism or How to Avoid the Sun for LESS than $40.00, please let me know!

Enough of that old

On to that new new...

Everything I ordered new will be coming from kpopmart.com where the prices were super reasonable. I ordered 6 cd's, 2 of which come with posters. Not all of the cd's are recent releases, but I am super happy to be getting them anyway. I hope you guys think I made the right choices:

And for my dark horse selection, I chose...

That's right, I got Crush. If you haven't heard of this guy, you are sleeping on some great music. Check out his first single (Sometimes) and his collab with Zion T. (Two Melodies) below:

My whole order from kpopmart.com including shipping was around $120 which is pretty good considering I paid a little over $60 for two CD's last weekend. And I am getting posters with the Taeyang and 2ne1 cd's. Still, it will be at least a month and a half before I can order anymore cd's and I will be a lot more conservative with my purchasing because I am not made of money and will really have to budget hard this month to make up for the spending spree. Good thing I bought plenty of ramyun!

Lots of Ramyun...
