Really, I don’t even know how I feel when I read this sentence. The stand-alone price of this iron box even exceeds that of a gamecard (even close to twice), but its origin is China. . .
If anyone has a special edition (US version/European version), could you please tell me where the tin box(I mean in that edition) is made?

Of course, the same thing has happened before, two months ago, I saw this line of description on the back of tsubasa's CD box:

Even its two parts are produced in different places~

Yeah, what I received today is the character badge of xb3(I don't even want to unpack XD)
1672664516024.jpeg

1672664523500.jpeg

Since I bought it from the same seller as the previous magazine, she sent me an Alvis plexiglass stand and a few postcards of the Pope

Ah, by the way, there is also the collector's set of XB1. (I'm thinking of buying a collector's edition of the XB2, but obviously it needs to be included in my equipment budget, not in the entertainment budget XD, it's too expensive)

This time it is a complete ODM of XB2 (not the "lite" version in the collector's edition)

1672751508852.jpeg

I didn't expect it to be so thick
1672751535329.jpeg

There is also something very interesting, is the UCG company to do the full series of XB Raiders (in fact, I was once subjected to their test printing version of the XB2 Raiders, but that time the book uh ~ ~ not very good)
I feel a lot better this time, but I may still need time to flip through it.
It seems to be divided into two books, one for XB1 + XB2 and the other for XB3 alone

Well, finally some of my random photography content (at least it reminds me that it's almost Chinese New Year)

I bought the collector's edition of XB2, and I feel that I may not have the budget to buy anything this Chinese New Year🙃
 
Really comfortable with canon eos 1dx for portrait shooting

But can anyone answer my question: how do cosplayers change the color of their eyes?
 
The premium box of XS1 has also arrived!(The merchant kindly sent a 256mb memory card XD, she really thought I would use PS2 to play it)
1673010164690.jpeg

After opening, the first layer seems to be the game DVD + keychain
1673010267463.jpeg

Vector Keychain
1673010353301.jpeg

The game is the original version (not the later reload version)
1673010392813.jpeg

1673010514272.jpeg

There is a model of Kossy ver.1 on the second floor
1673010561799.jpeg

Then there is a folder (I always feel like I don't see this thing on the list)
1673010601894.jpeg

Should be Vector's loose-leaf booklet
1673010655683.jpeg

Then there is the instruction manual (there is actually a separate manual printed?)
1673010686907.jpeg

Finally, there is a works collection like the current collector’s edition (but much less than the current collection)
1673010751853.jpeg

1673010770530.jpeg

1673010802879.jpeg

1673010817732.jpeg

I also found a picture of Nephy here (everything on this profile except Nephilim was crafted to the postcard, but why did they forget about Nephy???)
1673010892108.jpeg

Maybe tomorrow I can receive the script book of XG, the premium box of ep2 and most importantly - the collector's edition of XB2

This is the Premiun Box of Xenosaga ep2
PS. This time the seller didn’t send any more memory card, I added some price when I bought EP2, so I got EP3 at 2/3 price
1673072467202.jpeg

1673072504681.jpeg

Check the items against the list
1673072702149.jpeg

The first layer is game+Visual book
1673072576209.jpeg

1673072590517.jpeg

1673072596229.jpeg

visual book
1673072613212.jpeg

1673072619393.jpeg
1673072627869.jpeg

The second layer is two Kossy ver. 2 models (one of which is really a bit weird)
1673072771243.jpeg

1673072781325.jpeg

But the other one was really really cool!
1673072851579.jpeg

1673072863523.jpeg

And XG's scriptbook
1673072892355.jpeg

1673072925847.jpeg

1673072932563.jpeg

Then there is the one thing I am most looking forward to - the collector's edition of XB2
1673086831162.jpeg
1673086850372.jpeg

Well, the first layer is the game (with two covers to choose from) and the steelbook (with a select CD)
1673086904779.jpeg
1673086912638.jpeg
1673086917459.jpeg
1673086925419.jpeg
1673086931859.jpeg

The second layer is collector's work
1673086956039.jpeg

And @jessiray Is there any difference in internal content from your special edition?

Then there is a group photo of all the collector's edition/premium boxes I own now XD(After a while, get the XG ones too.)

Today is the scriptbook of XS1 (PS. I originally wanted to buy it together with XS2, but the merchant told me that XS2 was out of stock...)

1673184122637.jpeg
1673184129224.jpeg
1673184135466.jpeg

There is also Noah's flute (a bit "crude" since it is only an original version)
I wanted to introduce it well, but I feel that what I did is really bad, and I feel that it would be a shame to introduce it directly.
1673184212046.jpeg
1673184228489.jpeg
1673184250392.jpeg

Finally, some casual photos (I feel like I turned this thread into a collection display after December? I saw that there was a thread dedicated to collection, but I don’t know if I am eligible to post, I The collection is really too small...)

I can't believe it, I first memorized the Japanese spelling of all the characters' names in XS, and then I can recall the Chinese version in my mind for almost every dialogue
 
Sheet music collection for XS1
I can't understand the staves. I have learned the piano before, but now I have to think for a long time even when I see the numbered notation, let alone the staves.

These photos still didn't get me into the China Photographers General Association :(
But at least the Aerial Photography Association of Zhejiang Province approved my application :)

This is most of the guides for XS ("mostly" because there is another one in Japan ready to be shipped back)
1673530251222.jpeg

At the same time, there are also DS1&2 version guides, and calendars
1673530318221.jpeg

The calendar is really interesting, there is an extra copy of chaos (what's more interesting is that the calendar was never opened before it arrived in my hands after it was sealed in plastic, which means that it is impossible for someone to put an extra copy in it .Then my luck is so good!!! They put an extra sheet before the plastic wrapping!!!)
1673530447839.jpeg

So, if anyone needs a scanned copy of the XS Raiders in the future, just come to me! ! !

PS.Actually, I received the freaks special today, but unfortunately I can’t show it for the time being. I uploaded the wallpaper I got from the CD to media
 
This is what was extracted from the XS freaks CD, if anyone wants it, you can download it

Mouse pad for DS1&2!
1673614039113.jpeg

It can be replaced with other content in the middle (this is why so many calendars are sent together)
1673614049901.jpeg
1673614054263.jpeg

Of course, the same size paper can also be used instead, so maybe a lot of postcards can fit?
1673614603026.jpeg

And then here's what I shot casually today

Well, there may be XB1 pendants tomorrow (6 MONADO forms
) and the DS1&2 game body will arrive (God knows how much money and effort I spent to get a DS version with no missing paper inside)
I bought the Soma Bringer gamecard and OST (collection version and full version, but the full version is shipped back in Japan).I remember Kare Reiko once gave me an English version of Soma Bringer, but didn't have time to play? Now that I have found a simplified Chinese translation and installed an emulator on Switch, I may be able to fully experience Monolith's non-xeno works
Afterwards I want to buy some XB guidebooks and ODMs, and XBX gamecards, or will I choose to contact my friends directly to start preparing to buy and ship back the XG Millennium Edition?
At the same time I was also considering between the Kinomoto Sakura model and the 1/4 KOSMOS model. . .
 
The air is really really bad today
1673787523143.jpeg
1673787532854.jpeg

Then it's time for today's acquired collectibles exhibition!
The first is the MONADO keychain from XB1, which has 10 MONADO shapes
1673788858411.jpeg
1673788886037.jpeg

The seller also kindly sent a MONADO mobile phone holder
1673788957999.jpeg

Then there is the gamecard&box of DS1&2 (it is really hard to find a box that is so new and full of paper inside, and it is also really expensive)
1673789031174.jpeg

Everyone doesn't seem to like XB2's maze-like maps and tutorials XD
