Media Asia Parramatta Grand Opening


Congratulations Gary for opening your own store! Media Asia expands yay! And thanks for letting me take pictures of the place for the blog! ^^

Today the store opened at 10am but I got there at about 11am. Wish Jeanny could've gone with me but she's in Vietnam right now!

Just like the one in Sydney you can't walk passed the store without seeing a bunch of KPop posters up for display!


The store in Parramatta is a lot smaller than the one at the cities, and since Parramatta is easier for many people to get to than cities, expect stock to run out fast! Since it's opening, the place still hasn't finished setting up, with some empty shelves towards the back of the store.

 The Beast Concert DVD is still in stock and ready to go, the concert poster is stuck up on the door to welcome you to the store!

The DVD costs $55 without poster (and I think $65 with poster?) but for the next 4 days (until Chinese New Year), it will be 10% off so hello $49.50 for the DVD! Cheaper than buying it online and no need to wait for it to ship to you, go home and watch it right away!

There are already clips up on YouTube and there are also clips of the boys in exclusive interviews as well as the concert in your own hands! Everyone should grab a copy! ^^

Upon entering, the counter is on the left and on the right is a table full of unofficial 2012 desk calendars of not only Beast but also SHINee, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, Big Bang and more!

If the Season's Greeting's desk calendars are not in your price range, or if you just want another desk calendar for the sake of it, why not grab these at cheap and affordable prices? ^^

I can't remember how much but they are less than $20 even without the current promotional sales!

Today the current items on display for all to see when you enter the store are Season's Greetings packs for MBLAQ, Beast, CN Blue and 4minute!

Remember that they are currently on sale for 20% off so that's slash that $55, get your hands on these great packs for the new year for only $44!

No rush, from the looks of it, there are many in stock right now but the sales will be ending soon so hurry up if you want them!

Other Season's Greetings packs in stores include Infinite, KARA, Jay Park and more! They have all the Season's Greetings packs as far as I know! ^^

First part of the shelf of the KPop side of the store.

There doesn't seems to be any alphabetical order from what I see? If there's an order for these things then I don't know, but I guess it's popular ones at the start?

Girls' Generation, Super Junior, Beast and SS501 kicking off the KPop section!

The shelves don't only have the albums but also the official diaries, photobooks and Beast's official version 2 clear files at there too!

And here's a close up of the Beast part of the shelves.

Are you missing any albums from their discography? Media Asia has most of them (missing Japanese mini albums and singles) so come on in to buy them!


To the left of the store is all the merchandise, it's looking pretty empty right now but I'm sure they're still setting up and many boxes are still arriving in stores so make sure to check often!

These merchandise include bags, wallets, pencil cases, rubber wristbands, badges, pins, umbrellas, tape, snap-on bracelets, landyards and iPhone cases.

These are just the things you've already seen at the Sydney store, nothing new, the stock is the same ^^

Here are some pictures, it should be clear what the items are from the short list just then but if you have questions then feel free to leave a comment and I'll answer you ^^

I couldn't take a picture of the bags because they're high up, but they come in back packs as well as messenger/shoulder bags ^^






That's it for the post! I hope you guys will go check out the new store if you get the chance! It's really great and the staff are friendly! But the airconditioning for the building is currently not working so it's very hot in there, the staff are trying to fix it by getting their own aircon though, but that will cost money!

If you don't want to buy online, just shop at Media Asia for merchandise and albums. Come on in and take advantage of the 4 day sale!

  4. I went there the day it opened. ^^ But the second time I went there and bought something the guy behind the counter told me to write my name and phone number at the back of the receipt. Did that happen to anyone else? Speaking of, does anyone get a copy of the receipt when they buy something? Because both times I bought something, I didn't get a receipt.

    1. Yes you were meant to write your name at the back of the receipt to get your name in the drawing of the prizes ^^
      Your receipt would've been put in the box on the counter with a whole bunch of other ones ^^

    2. OMG what prizes? When's the draw?

      Good thing I entered (even though I did so without knowing >.>)

      Delete
    3. The prizes were lots of things like Season's Greetings packs, autographed album, etc. I think all the draws have been done now so I guess you didn't win sorry ):
