I'm absolutely obsessed with it and the sparkly guitar keychain. I didn't get the puzzle yet but I hope to for my next pay day. I kind of hope to maybe get two because I like to have some things still sealed but I'd also like to try to complete it and maybe frame it. I imagine it would look really pretty (and sparkly). It reminds me of the heart shaped puzzle people who went to 'FEARLESS Tour' (or 'Speak Now Tour'?) concerts gave pieces from to Taylor as part of a fan project on 'Taylor Connect'. This was the puzzle I was talking about in the picture below:   Oh I remember that! I wanted to get the puzzle cause they typically sell out super quick ( R.I.P me looking for the house on the coast puzzle), I’m surprised this one isn’t. It would be a nice one to frame I think! It is very pretty. |

Cool, I didn't saw it. Would've ordered it and the keychain, but with those prices...
Unfortunately it seems like US and UK stores are the only ones who got those merch  Yeah it sucks but it seems only the U.S. and U.K. Online Stores got this new merch. I have no idea why. I thought it would just be a little later for it to show up on the other online stores like the Canadian Online Store like what has happened before (it went up a little later the same day), but it hasn't. The Australian and German Online Stores don't have it either. It makes no sense to me, because they've released everything else on the other international online stores every time for the last few years of merch drops. I don't even order from the Canadian Online Store anyways though...It sucks. It's always late to ship things. I ordered the beige and red 'RED (Taylor's Version)' hoodies from there late last year from the original release or collection of the first merch for the album and they STILL haven't shipped. This is ridiculous. I thought about them a few days ago again and was angry again. They were supposed to ship early this year. Probably won't get them until Christmas.  Maybe that's why they're not releasing more merch to the international online stores like the Canadian Online Stores, because the waits for merch is ridiculous. I bet less customers are ordering from it because of that. I certainly am not ordering from it. It's cheaper to order from the U.S. Online Store and pay for sometimes ridiculously high shipping prices to Canada (and not have to pay taxes from that online store) than it is to order from the Canadian Online Store, wait months for it, and have to pay for high shipping AND taxes. And you get it quicker from the U.S. Online Store than you'd ever get it from the Canadian Online Store. I honestly have no use for that store. I can't believe they don't have a free shipping policy at all yet. Even for orders $100+ or something. |

It is very pretty. This seems to be a big release of merch. I've watched the stock levels/numbers for the items in this collection and pretty much everything that's left (except for maybe one item) has an unlimited amount (and has since it was all released two days ago). So they're taking pre-orders and seeing how many people will buy it seems. I hope it stays this way for a few weeks at least, because I want to try to buy more stuff in two weeks. I had to pay $600 back to the government for stupid taxes this past week. I think of what I could've bought with that money from the new Taylor merch...This is the first time I'm having to pay back money for taxes, and it's because of the 2020 CERB thing... |

Yeah, I hate when Taylor drops things when I don't have money (which seems to be exclusively when she likes to drop things lol  ) I had so much panic when I first saw they dropped all this new merch two days ago. I was at work and got notifications from 'Twitter' from the @autotayloralert account saying that there was new merch added. I saw how much was added and my eyes almost popped. I felt so overwhelmed for a second, and I even considered maybe buying some new stuff (more than what I got) instead of paying the government back my taxes sort of on time...But it didn't work or 'PayPal' was asking me to also log into my bank account, which was weird. But I was relieved to see that the items almost all were unlimited in stock number (and still are), so I know they'll hopefully have them online for a while for my next pay day hopefully. That's the trouble with her merch. They release new stuff and it makes you feel pressured to buy a lot of it right then, even if you don't have the money. Especially when you're a merch collector (like me). I'm also very thankful that they seem to be off of their stupid limited time availability releases (where it was only available for a day or two or a week). So glad they seem to be off of that. Because it was bad and very unfair. They will sell more merch this way when it's available for a longer time. |

Yeah, I have a feeling that this is what's going to become the core collection for 1989 TV and Speak Now TV which is why there's so much of which honestly is a relief because I probably would have bought more but this pay ended up being one where EVERYTHING happened at the same time so I had to buy a ton of stuff for other things that aren't Taylor related. At the very least, it's nice to know that the other things I wanted are still available and may be by my next pay. All I hope for is that she doesn't announce something and start doing limited edition stuff before I get paid again. |

Unfortunately it seems like US and UK stores are the only ones who got those merch Yeah I looked on the CAD store and they didn’t have anything either. For me ordering from the US tends to be equal to or cheaper than the Canadian store. Wish it would be like that with the German store sometimes, but for me it's often 20 to 30€ cheaper if I order at the German store. And for 20 to 30€ it's okay that I don't get any confetti and that I get it one or two months later. |

I don’t know if it’s just the conversion from USD to CAD or if they up charge here in Canada but the prices on the Canadian store are insane! I wish that she’d just offer parity. I guess if she did she would also have to block people from shopping in her other stores which would be too bad. |

I don't think they'd ever do that. They'd lose too much money, and we know how much 'Universal Music Group' is all about the money. The prices aren't too bad, since they usually work out to what the price would be if the USD price was converted to CAD. It's the stupid CAD dollar conversion itself that is insane. I'm so tired of the dollar being so low. We have to pay like 30% more on top of what USD would be in conversion to CAD. It really sucks our dollar has to be compared to USD. I don't know who went and made the U.S. the center of the world lol. I sometimes wish we had the same currency. Or that the stupid dollar would stay around equal to USD. It hasn't been equal for a long time. The Australian Online Store is the insane online store. Some of the items they've offered on there are like double the price in AUD from what it was in USD. |

The insane thing with Germany is, we have to pay between 30 and 50$ for the shipping from US and then we have to pay 19% of the combined price of the items and shipping as customs tax. That's why it is so much cheaper when we can buy it at the German store, even with the higher prices for the items, because shipping is just 5€ then in most cases and we don't have the customs tax to pay. |

I wish it was like that with the Canadian Online Store too. You seem to have to pay a lot higher taxes/duties than we do when stuff comes from the U.S. but our shipping prices are unjustified when we buy from the Canadian Online Store. That’s why I never order from there. It’s more expensive (and SLOWER) all together usually when ordering from the Canadian Online Store compared to ordering from the U.S. Online Store for me. |

I’m starting to get more and more annoyed because they’re letting items sell out now (and taking them off the main online store)…So it’s basically a limited time collection, call it what it is Taylor Nation. :// I hope things get restocked because I’m going to be very annoyed if they aren’t bringing things back. And I cannot buy anything else this week. They want to make money, so it’s obvious they should restock it all. I don’t know what the change is all of a sudden that they’re now taking items off the website.

Darn it I knew I should have ordered that day! I just can't get a break with merch. |
