You want every eurobeat cd....

Unless you have like... $100,000 or so It aint gonna happen
There are at least 300 CDs

The prices vary A LOT. If you get the CDs brand new, the retail price is 2913 yen (a little under 30 USD) for most of them. However, I've picked up SEB for as little as 3 USD, brand new!

Some of the really early Beatfreak stuff can go up to 100 USD, though! You'd really have to devote a lot of time and money to try and get them all, so I suggest just sticking with the main SEB series (150+ volumes) or just get the ones that you want.

Personally, I recommend eBay. SEB CDs have not been bootlegged by Taiwanese companies, so pretty much all of the SEB on eBay are legit. A lot of people also sell SEB in lots, so you can get many CDs for a low price.

As for new SEB, www.cdjapan.co.jp is probably your best bet. They have quite a few of the older SEB still in stock, too (I've got a hunch that some of the really early ones are reprints, though, if you care about that sort of thing). Amazon does indeed have SEB, but you'll have to search their Japanese website, Amazon.co.jp

If you're going to Japan, you may want to wait until you do so before building your collection. As I said, you can find used (sometimes even new!) copies of SEB for as little as 300 yen! SEB is pretty easy to find in the used CD shops, and you can build up your collection rather quickly.

[Shameless Plug!] I've got a few SEB albums for sale, too. Just check out my other post. [/Shameless plug]

hmmm

try - cdjapan (www.cdjapan.co.jp) : only problem is (in UK anyway) you have to pay £15 on delivery extra.

yesasia have a few of the more recent ones, as do HMV.co.jp

you can't buy A L L eurobeats (lol) - that is ridick. best bet is to buy every tenth one. i.e. SEB 100, SEB 110, SEB 120, SEB 130, SEB 140, SEB 150 (you get the idea). if you're into initial D music, steer clear of the earlier ones (about SEB 60 and below) - they are more italo-y sort of
