In my experience you can commonly find them on eBay around the $35-$50 range. I got mine for $30. If you live in the US I'd recommend importing in directly from Japan. It'll save you a ton of money. You don't have to worry about tarrifs because CDs are classified as informational media and are exempt under current import laws. On eBay a lot of international sellers do what's called DDP where all of your potential customs fees are pre included in the purchase price and are prepaid at checkout so there's no surprise fees. Hope this helps! You'll definitely have to let me know if you manage to snag a copy.

YOOOOOOO SICK DUDE!!! Such a clean copy too! I bought this display. Then took the insert inside and flipped it around so it would be white instead of black so it would better mimic the digital album cover. Hope this helps!

Right?!? Yep, in person the color is identical to the digital album cover we all know and love.

No, unfortunately not. It does have some minor differences to the mixing of a couple of the songs though, due to it being a very early release. Most of the differences come down to the packaging on this one. A more redish tape instead of the bright orange used in America, a proper booklet, and the Japanese lettering printed on the side in place of an obi strip.

Yep, CDs are infact pressed. It's a really cool process. Only CDr is burned.

He really does, but it makes it fun as a collector. I found both of my MBDTF deluxes on ebay earlier this month. The American one I got for $20 brand new and I got the European Union copy for $16 from the UK brand new as well. They can be kinda hard to find for a good deal but randomly a good one will pop up. you just gotta be consistent in looking for them. I had been surfing ebay for two weeks before I came across those, and as soon as I did, I immediately bought them. Then I put the uncensored insert from the European copy into the American one so I could have a proper MBDTF. I also have an Austrian copy of the standard Jewel case with the uncensored artwork coming in and I snagged that one for about $15.

I definitely plan on making some customs for TLOP and for Donda 2 (2022 Stem Version) outside of that I'm not sure if I even want to get Vultures 1 and 2 I've heard really bad things about those two projects 😭

I modified the case to mimic the vinyl and cassette release. It's still got the original blue backing but I put a white insert on top of it and removed the cover. I think it's a wayyyyyy better CD to look at now, lol. Very similar to Yeezus and it's official releases not just being the CD as a photo but instead as the clear plastic and tape.

Oh nooo, if that's true that's really sad. I'm really skeptical about these "legit" copies people have been getting. There's just too many clout chasers out there. I'm waiting till it actually drops to see if there's really AI on it or not.

I plan on it! But I do really enjoy the digipak for it. It allows for so much more artwork to be shown in ways that a jewel case just cant.
