[Request] Looking for Arte Stella book

[starfox66.livejournal.com]

Hello everybody ^^

For some time now I look for the artbook Arte Stella of Hetalia but impossible to find it in moderate prices (150 USD, I don't have this sum). Do you know where I can find this artbook, if possible for affordable prices? And in more would need whether it is in export because I live in France ^^'

Saddened for the disturbance (and for my bad english either xD) and thank you in advance for your answers ^^

Ha and also, (while I am there xD), I look for volumes in English of Hetalia, the only ones which I found were 50/100€ (66/132 USD) >w<

If you know sites of import / export (English / Japanese) I would be happy to have the addresses of it ^^ still thank you and good day =)

Even the retail stores shipping to North America really overcharged, so while the art book was never worth it in Japan, almost every copy you'll find in the western fandom cost around $130 to get in the first place.

If you want a reasonable price, you'll have to either find it in Japan, or wait for a seller that doesn't remember what they spent.

To start, if you can use a service like FJ (http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/top), you'll suddenly have access to almost all of Japan's shopping sites.

There's actually a 5,280 yen copy of it right now, that's ending in about 20 hours. :O So you're really in luck today!
It's opened, though, and doesn't come with any of the extras.




As for the English manga, ever since TokyoPop stopped publishing it, the price has been rising like crazy. .__. Since you're in Europe, you might have better connections than the rest of us. Apparently the UK branch is still running, so, if a UK release is planned at all, it can still happen in English after all.
I just don't follow much outside of the Japanese merchandise, though, so I'm sure somebody else would be able to help way more, there.

In the case of the Manga...

it is still widely available here in Australia, with volumes being around $17AUD.
The link for that (if you're interested, and don't mind the shipping cost) are: http://www.madman.com.au/catalogue/view/14080

@starfox66: If you can't buy Arte Stella from Amazon Japan (where I saw it a couple of weeks ago), my advice is to keep watching the Ebay "buy now" category. I managed to get a copy for about $70 including shipping a while ago because the playing cards were missing (everything else was in perfect condition). It's just a matter of luck and patience, I guess.

I recommend rightstuf.com for the english hetalia manga! Not too sure about the art book, though. ;u;
Hope I helped!
