Those mochis! *cries tears of joy*

I haven't wanted Hetalia merch this bad since the last plushies came out. Also very excited for the art book. Thank you for sharing the news!

[kaoarika.livejournal.com]

My life would be bit by bit more complete with the art book *A*

[boo-sagara.livejournal.com]

A new version of Art Stella *o*?! So, this version will be smaller than the other, right? Oh, I hope I can buy it this time!

Gaaaaah those mochis ;3;!!!

[cidal-fun.livejournal.com]

A chance for us late comers to the fandom to get Arte Stella? That is going to be the first thing I actually go out of my way to buy.

I think they spelt okey wrong :3

[allu-kun.livejournal.com]

I need that travel book so much. :D Thanks for the info!

[rikkaidai-fuji.livejournal.com]

One word: GOTT
I want all of them
/sniff
bye bye money

Dunno the previous size of the book (my guess goes to B5) but A5 is like, Monica's Gang size? |D (comparing Hetalia with childhood comics... OHWAIT)

[kirahime.livejournal.com]

I wanna HUG THEM!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!
And the Artbook is something I hope I can get them too, thanks for sharing news!

[boo-sagara.livejournal.com]

It seems that the previous book was A4, so if this's A5, it's a little smaller...
Yeah, I think Monica's Gang is A5 size! (So if I buy this artbook and let it near my comics they will have almost the same size o.o'? And that's how my childhood encounter my present xD!)

[mad-kitty12.livejournal.com]

The only official plushies I'd buy imo
...I wish I could buy the A5 version ;A;
finally chibi-san date 2! The cover looks so gorgeous *A* I like the vol1 cover as well, but due to some artchange Seiji looks more... mature? me gusta :3

More details on the mochi are over here (http://hetalia-sell.livejournal.com/312989.html). ;u;

They're looooong sold out, sadly. D:


Good to hear confirmation on Piccolo though. Animate didn't even list as much as the size. It's 1470 yen, though, with a release date of March 28th set.
Germany's book should be released on the same date. It's 1050 yen.

Both are already available for preorder.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Preorders are already open ;u;

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Preorders for the books opened yesterday >w<

[boo-sagara.livejournal.com]

Really =o? Oh, I would love to get that artbook! I hope they release more information soon about whether it will come with extras and that sort of thing ~
Do you know if it'll be exclusive to Animate Japan or if there's any chance of it being sold in AmiAmi for example?

And I remembered something: on Monday and Tuesday I will not work because it's the holiday of Carnival, so I'll have more time to help with the pages of Hetalia Merchandise Wiki \o/!

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

I've only seen it on Animate so far.
This page (http://www.animate-onlineshop.jp/products/list.php?t=n&smt=%E3%83%98%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2&sl=20&sl=80) is one of the usual ones I check every single day, and such. ;u;
It was raz2b that found it first, though, since she's in almost the same time zone as Japan. xD I guess the update happened right after I fell asleep that night.

But yeah. Animate says there's no bonus items, but that's kind of expected when you look at the price...

=w= On the topic of the wiki,
Hetalia.com's item listing is reminding me.

A lot of the merchandise that gets on to Animate, after a while, it just comes off the site entirely. You can't still find the pages to buy the first set of mini towels, for example.
I think I'm going to hurry up with filling out everything from the last pages of the stores, in that case.

[rosetteroulette.livejournal.com]

AAAH, THAT CHIBISAN DATE COVER IS SO PRETTY! *^*

And Germany's getting a travel book? Yessss. <3

[boo-sagara.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's kind of sad that this will not come with bonus items ;~;... but at least I'll have a chance to get this artbook for a reasonable price ^^'! And just to confirm: it'll be smaller than the original, right? ... That's like an economic version o.o?

D':
Yeah, in this case it's better to start by the last pages then! Maybe it's good to save the pages on your computer in case any of them "disappear" ;~;?

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

I don't know. OP's saying A5, but I don't know their source.
A5's the exact same size as the manga volumes have been, however.


Yeah ;n;

[kyoko215.livejournal.com]

Is this all merch you gotta have a Japanese contact to buy, or will they be available on sites I can use a credit card for?

[barrelsncrates.livejournal.com]

Finally!!! I've been waiting for Germany's travel book!!!!

[panachi.livejournal.com]

anybody know where i can buy the mochis? :3

[cidal-fun.livejournal.com]

Just read the convo above. I hope it comes to HMV, or some other international site, or else I'm going to have to look for a middleman shopping service.

By the way, could you recommend a good middleman shopping service that I could order it through?

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

They've been sold out since February 2nd, at least. D: Sorry.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

If you use Animate itself, FJ (http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/top) is the absolute cheapest service available.

Their entire commission on the Arte Stella book will only be 74 yen, so through them it should be 2244 yen after domestic shipping (400) and bank fees (300).
Shipping from FJ to Australia should be about 790 yen by SAL or 1200 yen by EMS.

So total should be around $40.50 by SAL, or $46 by EMS.

[cidal-fun.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Mostly all services accept credit cards.

You can try FJ (http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/top), though. Of all of them, they have the added bonus of having the lowest commission there is (about 74 yen for the Arte Stella book, for example, as opposed to around 1140 yen through some others)

Germany’s “Let’s Travel” book, Beer Festival! announced!

Yay! Opportunity to refresh my Japanese while learning German!! XD

[ireland-aph.livejournal.com]

Hey guys! Maybe you know how can I buy Arte Stella Piccolo? I'm from Europe, Italy, and Animate doesn't allow me to order it... I want it so bad D:
