That is true but I love how much of a monolith those big sets are, especially for DSS's lyric book.

I was looking at the availability for some of these before; utafumi seems to be in easy supply, but I noticed the best of and sustain weren't as easy to attain

@Dr: I know how to get every single release they've done so supply isn't a problem for me. If you want them new to support the band (i.e. YesAsia and CD Japan) then yeah, there's a problem with stock.

The problem with that is the weight, more than 2kg = phat shipping from Japan. For good condition, I can get it for £50-55.

I have the the ltd. ed Arche Budokan and ltd. ed Utafumi. If anything, ltd. ed Arche Budokan's worth it for the bonus live CD and bonus BluRay w/multi-angles for several songs and a "solo angle" for 5 songs that were chosen based off of a fan poll/questionnaire before its release w/one song per band member. Ltd. ed Utafumi's worth it for the "full" Arche extra show and I say "full" cause it's heavily condensed but has 10 songs instead of 3 on the mid tier version of the single.

I want the limited edition Arche Budokam to keep the packing consistency with my limited edition DSS Budokan really, but the angles are nice. I really like jamming Utafumi on speakers + the Liquidroom show, so that's why I want Utafumi. Plus I adore Kyo's attire for that single, gotta have a postcard of it.

I usually keep the packaging as mint as possible. My Arche, Arche Budokan, Utafumi, Vestige and Ningen ltd. eds are still in their poly outer sleeve things, haha. Only time I pull them out is when I watch the BluRays or jam the CDs on my CD player or speakers. It's not like I'd ever sell them anyway, but maybe I'm a bit paranoid that I might mishandle it one day and ruin something in the packaging (i.e. bent page in booklet, etc.)

They are there to be used. If you're not going to sell them, get the most out of having them. Dir stuff is so well made that it's hard to cause damage anyway (minus the giant DSS and Uroboros limited editions, my DSS got damaged in the mail).

Still hoping for a North American tour...probably won't go VIP this time 'round after my very horrible and cringey experience the first time. But weird shit has happened to me, so I won't say I'll never do VIP ever again.

I really hope you have a better experience than me Calc. My experience was very cringe and also borderline sad. Most if not all of the blame I put on the fans and their repulsive behavior. The band themselves as aloof and uncomfortable they were weren’t an issue and honestly, I can’t blame them either.
