Where can I find a list with the numbers of copies of each limited releases? I know that E Pt II has 800, Pt I has 2000, Intermission has 2000, but what about the small box sets from Infinite to E Pt II? What about the digipak versions of newer albums and the japanese editions?

Edit: my current collection

All of them x 1, plus Intermission and Visions of Europe. :) No EPs, demos, except on bonus discs, singles, etc. I don't even have collections such as The Past and Now. I'm definitely gonna buy these sometime. I'll also look out for every single and stuff in the future, but only to have one of those each. :P

Wait, what? Why the fuck would you buy compilations like "The Past and Now" if you already have all the songs?

Because I want to collect them? :roll: Why do many people here try to buy EVERY piece of Stratovarius' music even though they already have, like, hundreds of records in different forms?

Well, to add something, I used to have basic jewel-case Infinite and Elements, Pt. 1, but a friend bought me the limited box versions after which I sold and gave away my originals.

Hmm, weird. I set it public "visible for everybody" but I'll check again.

Edit: check now if it's working.

Perhaps Jens could help with this if we ask him nicely :wink: If he send an inquiry to every record label Stratovarius has had a deal with, they might even answer :lol:
But what do we want to know?

-What albums and versions has each label published from Strato?
-How many copies were printed
-Cataloug numbers of every album and version
-Have they lisenced any other company to publish Stratovarius albums, who?

Anything else?

:shock: That's MOST impresive Beast_Pete... It almost makes me feel shame on my post, but I'll post it anways xD.
Poor albums u u... all OWNED [?]
Image

I have the most basic collection ever. The studio albums, Visions of Europe and Infinite Visions.
Image

It's very hard to get special editions and werird stuff here in México.

I ordered a special edition of Polaris of CD +7 Vinyl on Amazon.com but they tricked me and I'll never get mine ¬¬...
Well, they didn't charge for it but I won't have it now.
Image

I ordered Fright Night to Amazon about a month ago and nothing yet... I hate Amazon now -_-U

P.S. The little one on the pics is my doll Shinku :D

Yeah I just checked it now and you were right. Thanks for pointing it out! :)

Thanks A9! :)
Unfortunately I'm not rich endowed, but I try to spare money for my collection. I need to beat my finnish friend, Pekka and he is still in front of me with around 15 items. :D

@HinatAArcticA: you shouldn't feel ashamed, I think it's not about shame or pride. And you can get to more StratoItems as time progresses. I bouth my first CD at the begining of 2003, it was Destiny and then followed by Elements Part I. And I always buy something rare in Wacken and as it was my 5th WOA this year you can imagine how easy it was for me to get my hands on some rare items.

I feel bad showing these horrific photos as

- that horrible mat isn't the best possible platform to put them
- some things really don't show, for example the Twilight Time CD and the cover of my Polaris version... and I didn't bother to edit. :P But it really is Polaris! ;_;
- I had a hard time doing that arrangement - cleaned up my room for it, most of, and I even had to float in the air when I took the photos of opened cases.

Episode, Visions, Visions of Europe, Infinite, Polaris. All on CD (except that I bought the Polaris version with DU/KON/SS on vinyl).

I'm thinking about starting from "the beginning", collect all of 'em on vinyl. I know it can be hard, but I'll give it a try. Vinyl rules:D

Unfortunately not all the albums were released in LP format.

Fright Night was
Twilight Time was (with the title Stratovarius II)
Dreamspace wasn't
Fourth Dimension was
Episode was (maybe the rarest)
Visions wasn't
Destiny wasn't
Inifinite wasn't (at least I have no such information)
Intermission was?? (I saw some being sold on net, but I haven't seen it before)
Elements Pt 1 was
Elements Pt 2 was
Stratovarius was
Polaris was

But once Vic comes into this thread, he can tell it more precisely. :) This is as accurate of information as I can serve with.

A new LP and something very unique, though not an album... only one piece of it exists in the World. :P
