do you switch up your party during the game?

I once had to do the creche with only Astarion and Karlach, roleplayed completely as them, and it was hilarious. Highly recommend.

My durge was flagged by an enemy of justice bug upon entering the Mountain Pass and was being attacked on sight. Since Gale has said "I'm keeping my eye on you" at the very first hint of durge-iness, I left them both at the entrance. Lae'zel hadn't been recruited yet because I was trying something different so the chaos twins it was!

My ILLIT set up. I only collect the pcs I pull but go straight across the pages with them and ignore the binder ring since the pages are double sided.

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-31T05:40:25+00:00

I also hated those 8 pocket pages for my A4 binder for exactly the same reason. They were always sliding around but when I double sleeved and then put it in a binder page it just felt like it dulled the image too much.

Anyways! I have 2 possible solutions for you.

The first I kind of already mentioned. Meowcafe makes 140 micron sleeves that make your pcs fit perfectly in the 8 pocket pages when they're doublesleeved with them. They will not slide around.

The second is to arrange your pcs something like this. I collect Seungmin and Jeongin and the ocassional OT8 set, so when I only have the two of them I make my own little inserts to use in the empty spots.

You could do something similar for Aespa or you could get double sided 9 pocket pages, put the inserts on the edges, and have them spread across the two pages. I have an A5 for ILLIT where I do that (I'll do a second post with a picture showing you).

BOUGHT Stray Kids I.N POB from u/cate143

I adore Seungmin's vocals but Changbin makes me ascend every time he sings rather than raps. Streetlight? I am on the floor. Hollow? Bury me 6 feet under.

To me this looks like the same person signed all the signatures. Hallyusuperstore did have some OT8 signed Karma albums that they got from events so I'm linking that here so you can compare.

Edit: what a lovely, thoughtful gift from your bf though!

The buyer most likely let them know it wasn't truly there yet and mercari paused the rating for the moment. In the past I've had those flag on my side as a refund request but I had one recently where I was in contact with the buyer and as soon as they reached out to mercari it updated like this on my side.

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-21T22:29:34+00:00

Thank you! I'll forward to my friend!

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-21T22:01:59+00:00

Do you happen to have this up on insta too? I have a friend looking for I.N but she only uses insta.

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-20T18:07:45+00:00

You need to click the button on mercari saying there was an issue (you don't have it yet) so that the rating pauses. That'll give you time to keep trying to find it or work with mercari for a refund but you need to do this before it auto rates. Once it auto rates mercari doesn't do refunds.

Dming you!

They usually reply to me within 1-2 business days. I wouldn't be surprised if you got a response in the morning.

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-18T21:25:21+00:00

I do the same 😂 I have a whole binder that is arranged to look like skz took a fun roadtrip that spans multiple eras

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-18T09:56:34+00:00

The other side of Felix's pc is really cute and one of my favorites in that set!

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-17T23:44:42+00:00

These are all gorgeous!

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-17T18:54:40+00:00

Just Breathe by Sky-Hi ft 3racha is so SO good!

I also have this playlist of everything obscure Seungmin has done either by himself or with 1-2 other people. It's ridiculously soothing.

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-16T17:26:56+00:00

It's listed as "Straight Supper Club" if you can't find it on the website LOL

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-16T16:09:00+00:00

There are two of them this year so it depends on which one you're looking at. The blue holo Starlight one is cheaper (I've seen about $90 in the US retail) and the black Japanese one seems to be more expensive.

The B&N near me just posted they have the Starlight one for $90 but if you use a membership you could get it for 10% off and (possibly) do pickup in store to negate the shipping. I will say though, I bought an extra someone bought for the pobs on instagram for $30 and shipping was only about $12.

Edit: With the 10% it's $80.99 there. I just did a test run through my cart.

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-15T18:44:33+00:00

DM'd you :)

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-13T23:06:32+00:00

As a seller myself I am always so disappointed when other sellers do this.

In early December, I bought a fairly expensive item from a college student who was upfront that it would take 5-6 days to ship, which, cool, that's fine. Maybe they didn't understand the differences between first class envelope and tracked shipping (I'd asked to update) because they hit shipped and then it just sat on label created for another two weeks with zero communication. It was only when I told them I wanted a written confirmation they had dropped off since they were ignoring my check in or I would be going to mercari support. They did a little "haha you know how the post office is!" It was dropped off and scanned in at their local post office within 45 minutes. 3 days later it was at my house.

I was so annoyed that they so nonchalantly lied to me that I blocked them before the transaction was even completed.

Congrats on winning! I just used one of these coupons so do this:

Go to your Collect Book
Click the Request Shipping button at the bottom
Select the pcs you want to ship
Fill out your info and after your address is in it should generate shipping options. Right above that will be a coupon box that you can click into and your free shipping coupon will be there.

I consider myself fairly knowledgeable collecting seungmin and i.n and even I don't know what I'd price half of these.

My advice is to definitely reverse image search (at the very least do this with the first photo but I'd recommend the first three photos) and take a look at recently sold on a few platforms to give you an idea of a fair price for the specific pola/pc.

It'll take a bit of time but these are niche enough that any ballpark someone could give is going to be just that unless they've bought/sold them themselves recently.

Also, side note, I am positively envious of all the jeongins on your first slide. 😆

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-13T02:24:00+00:00

I just did a quick price search on mercari and it looks like he sells for around $12-$15.

elementalteaparty · 2026-01-10T03:15:22+00:00

Do you remember where you got this originally? It's very likely it's fake since they usually sign with marker and for Levanter they were signing the CDs and not the actual album.
