Rei sakuma 1,330 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 This is how Hybe gets so rich. I preordered the attacca album set from ktown. The set includes all three version of the album and the limited edition posters. I opened my albums just now and found that I got the photobooks of the same unit. Spoiler I got all three hiphop alnums. So basically, I got photos of the same 4 people. I was a bit disappointed because I thought that ordering the set would ensure that I get one of every unit (svt is divided into three unit: Hiphop, vocal, and performance). And the thing is this has happened before to me with svt products. Earlier this year, I ordered all three versions of the your choice album and I got 7/13 of the members (with a few duplicates). I've never bought any other albums but from watching unboxing videos of other groups, it always includes all the members. I don't want to sound whiny but I feel like hybe/pledis knew exactly what they were doing. And it's not a matter of having too much members because in their past albums you'd always get all the members in the photobook. Spoiler At least for the photocard and postcard, the selection is random. I got members from the vocal and performance team even though I didn't get their photobook. So in order for a fan to be able to have all three versions with all the members, they would have to buy 9 albums. Is this a shipping error on hybe's part or is this just my bad luck? Please let me know if you have the same issue with this album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach0827 781 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 so for each version of the album there's 3 possible sets (hip hop, vocal, performance)? could it be a coincidence that you got the same unit 3 times? because as far as i know hybe can't control how ktown redistributes the albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 that jun pc.. spicy! i think its just coincidence, the albums are sealed right? they dont know what inside, + hybe isnt shipping them to you, its ktown so theyre just randomly grabbing one copy of each version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eremit 4,502 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 First, Pledis are the ones milking these unit/individual photobooks, other HYBE groups don't have that. Second, they don't ship this directly. K-town probably just randomly grabs whatever. Maybe some units have more prints though? dunno how this stuff works. can't you switch with other fans maybe? like I have this unit, want one of these units instead so I get all of them once?

In the semicolon album, you could choose a cover pic of the member you like but the content(photobook) is still the same. But for the past two albums it's a whole guessing game. So if I wanted to get all three versions with all three units, I would have to buy 9 albums in total and risk getting duplicates (not that I would but a more obsessive fan might). I've never seen any other group that makes you buy 3 sets of 3 to get a chance at seeing all the members in the photobook. I don't know who's decision it is but it definitely made them rich.

Spoiler very interesting pants.....I love it... I've come to a conclusion that it's all probably just a coincidence but the thought that whoever chose my albums picked them from the same batch passed through my mind. It's not hybe's fault but I'm a bit irked that they are now adding a new element of mystery in their albums for, what I presume, monetary reasons.

soman 2,951 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 You are not being whiny. I totally understand your frustration. I really hate dividing photobooks into units, bc like you said, in the past, we always got OT13 for all photobooks, which is the best system if you don't stan a specific unit.

good_morning 5,035 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Whaaaaaaaatt the hell, how didn’t i know this i finally loved the album and did a preorder for the first time, and i had no idea that photobooks contain only one unit, that’s really disappointing bc I’ve ordered only one album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn the Brain 230 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 That sucks, they should let you choose if you're buying more than one. Imagine ordering 9 and all of them are the same if it's random? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
