What even is money anyway…pfft… 💸 I want it all 💸 (especially the vinyls…)…. I’ll be so broke…

Is this how it normally goes for Canada? I ordered Proof at a local music store and don’t remember an online BTS store…

I don’t particularly want to have to order my vinyl from Weverse since those usually take forever to get here so hoping a retailer in the U.S. picks up the vinyl.

Someone posted this image on Twitter in case it’s helpful for anyone else! I know I was a little overwhelmed trying to read the Weverse notice
Africa:
* [UMG Africa](https://umg.africa/collections/bts) will be stocking. They appeared on the list posted by Hybe
* [Cokodive](https://cokodive.com/en-gq) they even have a countdown going 🤭🤭🤭

I am so happy that I’m not interested in Vinyls. But also….my wallet
[removed]
I do collect vinyl… I’m going to have to exercise so much self control because I want all the colors 😩 I’m leaning towards to the color deluxe and maybeeeeee one member version. The pink one is calling to me. I’m just happy we have the option and do not have to wait like we did with the solo releases.
Can you please explain the different versions?
I am so overwhelmed with all these versions! Think I’m just going to chance it at release time and see what’s in local music and kpop stores 🤷🏻♀️
I just looked on my Apple Music and Arirang was there! Well, I preordered Arirang on Apple Music and just listened to their message – eek!! Super happy they’re all speaking in English especially since they’re all SO good now! They were good before but they have defo been studying! I wonder if they’re speaking in English bc I downloaded it in England or whether they speak in each country’s language – well, Korean & Japanese? Either way, I’m now getting super excited!!!
I’m going to be so broke…just wondering about purchasing the albums from Weverse. I see listed here that we have the option to purchase from the Weverse US Shop, will we be able to purchase all options? I’ve only ever purchased from Weverse, but the global shop is out of the question with tariffs/duties/etc. Thanks!!!
Does anyone know anything about price information? I saw something on Barnes and Noble that the “Rooted in Korea” version is going to be $30 USD. But idk if that’s real
Im sure there’s gonna be a ton of preorder bonuses/exclusive version photocards from u.s. stores, korean stores, and etc. too. Time to buckle in fellow collectors 😂🫡🤝
My wallet let out a deep sigh when it got to the member vinyl variants lol
is it true you’ll have to pay tarrifs if you order anything from weverse global to u.s? i always used to order a set from global for the exclusive preorder bonuses but i’m not sure now if the tariff will be really bad.
have any u.s armys here ordered and received merch from the global shop recently?
Does anyone have experience buying from the USA Official BTS Music Store vs Weverse? Wondering if shipping fees and arrival times are better? I’ve never pre-ordered an album before 😄
What does “week 1, 2 and 3” mean in this image from the twitter announcement?

FYI You can also preorder from other US retail stores like Walmart, Target, Amazon etc. the preorder links drop at the same time, that’s where I usually preorder from and o receive the albums on time
