new Christmas photo set

[AyuHikaru]

^ Already spitting that set with someone for 10th gen and Sakura. They all look so cute

[Parhelion69]

^ I wanna split too!

Is all 10th gen taken? I want Maachan and Haruka at least? (although I'd like all 10th xD), and ofc Riho and Fukuchan

[Echidna]

^^^ Kuukkies looks gorgeous Reina reminds me an elf

Parhelion, you should join Idol!Swap on Facebook, we're splitting photo sets all the time. It might be too late to split these because a bunch of people already did (though if you're getting 6 out of 11 photos might as well just buy the sets and sell your extras later), but you can avoid missing the next ones by watching the group. ^-^

You have to request to join, but one of us admins is always online to accept the request so it's like immediate lol.

Speaking of Idol!Swap, that is the place to go to get your goods as cheaply as possible. Not only do they spit those 1600 yen photosets so you can get your favorite girl and not have to spend all your money on full sets (Unless you like full sets like me, but I tend to get one full set and then split any other photos that I wouldn't buy the full set on), but you can get stuff from Hello!Shop (Like photos, or Pencil boards, or Key chains/Cellphone charms, photobooks, posters, Pens, etc) and UF-online (Which includes all concert goods, special event goods, birthday tshirts, Single release goods, etc) with their group orders. And UF-online and Helloshop.jp only ship to Japan, so we all go in together and use a really cheap proxy service (Sup FromJapan) to get goods to everyone for a little over cost. It's seriously the cheapest way to get H!P goods, since you don't have to go through a person who charges commission. I've bought things from 300-400 yen to over 30000 yen and have never not gotten my stuff

Idol!Swap is AMAZING

...and if you act now you can get two Idol Swaps for the price of one!

everything she said is true, but still. seriously though, Idol!Swap is really good.. so good, in fact, that i didn't want to post about it for fear of more competition in claiming/buying. alas, the place must have been circled around somewhere because the membership exploded.. so no harm letting you guys in on it now lol.

the group orders are a little bit confusing at first, but you get the hang of it quick.. and then THE BUYING. NEVER. STOPS.

[Shoujo Q]

Everyone usually takes my favorite members so I'm usually forced into buying them myself. A lot of the older swap members have people they go to for instant claims, so finding open ones is a real challenge. For Berryz and C-ute it's slightly easier, but forget about Morning Musume.

I ended up ordering the red and white head shots. They are too adorable not to own. I want the s/mileage ones, but only Meimi and Kanon. xD
Kanon was easy to get, Meimi on the other hand... x-x

[AyuHikaru]

Yeah I've been in since the beginning and sometimes still have a helluva time finding Ayumi (Haruna used to be pretty easy, but she's starting to get harder now O.o) and Sakura is so popular right now thanks to her New Car Smell it's like forget about getting her. I'm lucky though because I split with Jason and he usually holds 10th gen and Sakura for me.

LUCKILY a lot of people are starting to split to get Sakura only, but we do need more splitters.

And yeah Meimi is IMPOSSIBLE. I entertained the notion of collecting her when I!S first happened and even then it was like NOPE, so I dropped the idea. I have ONE Meimi photo

Who are you on Idol!Swap? O.o

[Pavlova]

I requested to join (hi icey can you accept my request plz)

I wonder if Eripon, Haruka, Sayumi, Riho and Ayumi are going to be hard to get. Possibly Reina for my boyfriend.. while there is still time (he's devastated)
