Most interesting indeed...No idea what this is, but it's possible that the upcoming "Projector" and "Haven" reissues are part of a box set. If so, it's pretty cool. Will investigate when we're in Japan in a few days. :-)

 funny thing that an item of your band is being released and you don't know about it  . I guess that happens a lot, but shouldn't the label tell the band itself what items their going to release?  @ Mudkip (aka Jolty): Yeah I thought the same, yet Haven and Projector are going to be re-released, so well i guess there's a chance that they're going to re-release everything. |

Rule #1 of the music biz: The band members are always the last people on earth to get to know about things.
Had a Japanese friend look at the weird characters at http://www.toysfactory.co.jp/hard/index2.html and it seems like it's not a box set as such but just the individual albums re-issued. That said, I guess it's not impossible that there actually is a limited edition box set as well, but it's not mentioned on the label website. The Toy's factory stuff always looks great, so I'm kind of hoping that this is the case... |

I see the 2 sets available have been purchased, I'm going to buy a set if/when it appears again. I have several Japanese box sets(mini LP's) of different groups and these can be pricey So $135 + 35 postage is actually a bargain. Quote:
There many who say they are selling Japanese CDs w/OBI but buyer beware as many bootleg/unofficial discs come out of China.

^ Ah ok thanks for the info
 .Hehe so it's good that I didn't buy one Jap. Fiction cd from a guy from China. Which buyers should I be careful with? I say be careful with "wwpins" and "rasofocs," they have great items but the digis that they sell are Scarecrow version, which is from Mexico. The audio is the same but the printing quality is certainly a lot worse. |

^ Finally heard from the seller of this 5 box set, the CDs are in jewel cases(had both mini LP's and jewel CD cases in the auction description) so I'm going to pass as I collect the mini LP's, I already have everything DT released on CD in jewel cases.
How can You tell if things are official? I always look for the sellers location if its China, Russia then I would have my doubts about things. On a personal note, I really do not have a problem with bootlegs. Its my collecting mania that makes me say that The seller of the box sets has re posted them, raised the price by $5 ... business is business It ain't no thing but if You LMK Your eBay ID, I'd never bid against You -

i need your opinion on this...i just won myself a copy of "trail of life decayed" here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=013 my competitor was a tough one, he set his maximum bid at EUR 53.11, i got to win for 54.11...given the immense value the object had to me (i own none of DT rarities) i was still overjoyed...but my mood had a sudden change when i bumped into this: http://www.blackmetal.co.uk/ForumsPr...c/t=16402.html have i been cheated? can the tape i just purchased be a fake? i feel stupid to say it, but i was so happy that i immediately wanted to close the transaction...so the payment was already done when i read those posts...the fact the guy didn't even reply to the accusations just seems to confirm them...yet the seller's feedback seemed (still seems) encouraging... what do you say? |
