Each version comes with A LOT of stickers, 9 full body member stickers, 9 member head stickers and lots more of other random stickers, some of the stickers vary in each case. Each version comes with a different photo set that contains 10 pictures 9 individual member photos and 1 group shot all with the Limitless logo on the reverse which each member did their own personalisation of on the reverse. The rest of the items inside are all the same in each version minus each version also having a post card at random of either an individual member or members together.

I have version A of the Limitless album and I can't say it's the best Cd packaging I've received so far, it's basically an envelope made out of thin card with everything just stuffed inside it. I have no idea why they stuck so many stickers in there as they're all not really needed, other than the packaging everything else is is pretty awesome. I love the photo set with their individual personalised logos, I love how the lyrics booklet is set out with the lyrics showing in Korean as well as translated in Japanese, Chinese and English which I think is a good move from SM Entertainment to appeal more to their international fanbases. I think the best thing about this album is the track list, each track is amazing and sounds different from the last, so far NCT 127 are yet to release an album or track that would leave me underwhelmed, which can only mean that SM Entertainment is doing good by them, if I had to recommend an album to start off with for NCT 127 it would be their Limitless album; don't believe me then check out how amazing their 2nd mini album is right now.

NCT 127 are a group I think are the ones to watch, they may not be winning music show awards yet but I think they will be the next big boy group from SM Entertainment and I have high hopes for them as well as the other sub-unit groups, I just hope they let the current sub-unit groups find their feet before they start adding new people and new units otherwise I don't think their plan will work.
Which NCT 127 comeback is your favourite?
