Fullslip B has a 120p photo book ("stunning set photography") as opposed to the essay book. I believe it also has some Korean text, possibly introductions or "notes".

The Quarterslip (1/4 slip) has only its slipcover and the SteelBook.

All editions have the same three discs as detailed above.

With free shipping it works out to be about the same cost, mind you the minimum threshold for free shipping seems to have increased since pre-pandemic to $89, so you have to order something else with it. That's what I was planning to do on Thursday, but there was no sign of them at Yesasia so I ordered from Plain instead. Anyways, at least people have another chance at these.

So, has anyone here bought it?
