Richard Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 TDK MD | Flower Mix Limited Edition Released in 2005, this hard to find series was a limited edition, exclusive to Japanese electronics retailer Bic Camera. The design of the discs is similar to the Ho series, but somewhat more subtle. There were just 2 colors - green and yellow. Available in packs of 10 containing 5 of each color and packs of 5 containing 3 greens and 2 yellows. The discs were 80 minutes only. I consider these together with the Bit Club designs some of the most beautiful discs ever from TDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Fantastic! I guess we’ll never see an actual disc!… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgallen Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Ah, I'm sure I have some discs similar to the green one at least (I think the shutter is different). However since I don't have this limited edition set, mine must be inferior somehow! I will check... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could well be the TDK Ho series from 2003 which were also released in Europe a few years later with the same disc design, but a different shutter logo and were just called TDK Colour Series or something equally non-descript. Are they perhaps similar to these ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 I've got some very similar to those in your last post, @Richard. Except they're 80 minute ones and have a different shutter logo (no "HO" branding). When I first saw your pictures of the Flower Mix ones I initially thought they were the same but in different packaging. The colour patterns on the discs are quite distinct though. Nice score!

Those must be the European versions - they are indeed the same as the Ho (which was Japan only) apart from the shutter design. All great looking discs! I'll try and do a full pictorial on the Ho's separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearBoy Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 ^^ They're the ones I've got. Always thought they were nice discs. Do the Flower Mix ones only come in Green and Orange, @Richard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearBoy Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 🤣Took me a few minutes to work out what you were talking about. I think "Proficient" is already pushing it a bit as far as I am concerned 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
