#IHeartKpop in Melbourne (maybe Sydney & Brisbane too??) has commerative popcorn boxes and tickets to celebrate the release of the skz movie.

Free if you spend over $100, which is trivially easy for me to do alas. But you can also buy them for $3.

Um. Whoops.

I bravely did not buy *every* new #skz thing that arrived at #IHeartKpop yesterday.

But I have definitely overspent on #skzMerch this month.

(Not all of it was from I Heart Kpop. Maybe about two thirds??)

Recent acquisitions:

* A #skzLightStick pin to go on my handmade replica of one of #Felix's Louis Vuitton beanies (in place of the LV badge that's on the genuine version)

* #PuppyM beanie (I think this was part of the range sold at the Japanese concerts last year??)

* PuppyM Tamagotchi, that came with a set of 8 photocards

* Red version of HOP album (I already had the blue version)

* Giant version A (with Blu-ray)

* The Sound version A (with Blu-ray)

* Maniac Seoul concert Blu-ray

* Bonus photo cards with purchases from I Heart Kpop (today the person noticed that #Seungmin is my bias, so they picked out 4 Seungmin cards for me 💕)

* A second album for my photocards, because the first one is overflowing

* A pack of photocard sleeves

* A fucking multi-region combo Blu-ray and DVD player (because I legit expected that I wouldn't ever again watch videos stored on physical media when I could just stream things, oh god why can't I just *stream things*)

I was deeply tempted to buy some of the member-designed Japanese merch, including #I_N's green knit balaclava and Seungmin's I LOVE MY SHOES packing cube. Please praise my restraint.

I don't know if I want to open all these items at once, or spread them out over time, but I think it will probably be more enjoyable to spread them out.

(It was a mistake to open all those Nacific photocards at once. I wish I'd only opened one pack a day instead.)

💖 #IHeartKpop's Melbourne store is open and I love it. They have a shipment of Japanese #skz albums expected in on Tuesday, so I'll go back again on Wednesday.

🧙‍♂️ @mary, kiddo and I had lunch at Fortress today and kiddo taught us how to play #HuesAndCues

💅 Finally got a photo of the #manicure, featuring duckies on one hand, and #PuppyM + kira-kira sparkles on the other. (Photo's a bit low-res but it's better than no photo.)

Oooh #IHeartKpop is opening a store in Melbourne and it looks like it might be permanent?? (I'm pretty sure they've had a pop-up store in Melbourne before.)

I wonder if they'll have anything significantly different from #HappyTown

I like Happy Town a lot but they don't import any of #skz's Japanese releases

Uh.

I'm not normally a person who likes to acquire merch.

And yet.

I seem to have brought a lot of things back from our #skzDominateSydney adventure.

The black silky things were part of the VIP package, as were the socks, the A5 photos and the 7-sided thingy on the lanyard.

(Who decided that the thingy should have *7* sides?!)

I bought 3 albums at #IHeartKpop and I love them all. They each came with lots of inserts.

The 4 x A3 prints are from fan artists who had a stall outside I Heart Kpop. There are some cup sleeve packs from another stall. I don't even *like* cup sleeves normally. This is insane.

Then there are the stickers, cards & various gifts we were given by other stay.

I think my favorite is the tiny red rose that #PuppyM is wearing on his ear. The stay who gave me that said they'd brought the tiny roses specifically for #skzoo s to wear so they could look pretty too.

Oh and there's a green streamer from Sydney, and a piece of confetti from Melbourne.

Help.

#skzMerch

Some photos from yesterday. We went to #IHeartKpop and there were long lines, plus more stalls set up outside. It was good!
