Anikuji~!

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

SO. FINALLY. It's up~

We've got five tiers this time, and everything's Himaruya art, so let's take a look~




As usual, this round's 500 yen per ticket~
The date's been announced as July 25th, so we have a bit of time to prepare our wallets. ;w;

Like any previous Anikuji, Tier A will be the rarest, while Tier E will be the most common.



Tier A - Big Cushions
A-1: Italy & Germany & Japan
A-2: America & England & France


Tier B - Tapestries
B-1: Italy
B-2: France & Spain & Prussia


Tier C - A-4 File Boxes
C-1: Sweets
C-2: Sweets (Chibi Chara)
C-3: Trump (Chibi Chara)


Tier D - Can Badge Sets
D-1: Italy & America
D-2: Germany & Russia
D-3: Japan & France
D-4: England & China


Tier E - Die-Cut Sticker Sets
E-1: Italy & Japan & America
E-2: Germany & Russia & Prussia
E-3: England & France & China





The site's lacking item specs at the moment; measurements, materials, etc. But I'll get them added whenever they go up~!




In other news,
England and Germany CDs and Karakore Mascots have all been marked to ship~!
The mascots are, however, late in arriving to my service. I've sent an email to see what's up, so if everything's alright I should hopefully have an invoice post up next week~

Akuyuuuuuuu tapestrie!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

There's no doubt in my mind that's going to be the most popular item in the set.

[nymaas.livejournal.com]

I... I don't know how... I want to ... participate ; A ; ??

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

;w; If you want I could probably order some tickets~!
The problem is there's no way to guarantee which items will be sent, though. ;~;

[psanon.livejournal.com]

My friend is going to have so much fun getting all this merch for me *_*

And the A4 file boxes are as follow:
C-1: Sweets Pattern (Life size)
C-2: Sweets Pattern (Chibi char)
C-3: Playing Card Pattern (Chibi char)

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Thanks o/
I didn't have enough time to load my dictionary, let alone use it. So. xD
;w; I'll trust you're right~!

[psanon.livejournal.com]

I am more than sure I am; they were the exact translation of what is written on the pictures uvu

"C-1: お菓子柄（等身）
C-2: お菓子柄（ちびキャラ）
C-3: トランプ柄（ちびキャラ)"

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Yeah non-picture text doesn't work over here, but I'm sure it's the same. xD

[mystrel-chan.livejournal.com]

OMG!! Why do they do this to us?

I wish I could participate.

[kolmoi.livejournal.com]

eVERYTHING
ALL THE RUSSIA
ALL THE FRANCE
MY WALLET IS GOING TO HATE ME

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

It's the one time France gets in on the crazy rare expensive stuff. :'D

I am so glad I only need a sticker and a button.

[kolmoi.livejournal.com]

Hah, those are the only two I'm hoping to get. At least their uses are somewhat-practical, amirite?

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Yeah.. xD

Well the file boxes are probably useful too~ but they're too easy to damage in transit, so, fff.

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

This all looks so awesome!

Would you mind ordering me some tickets? I only want B-2: France & Spain & Prussia and C-3: Trump (Chibi Chara) but since this is a lottery thing I'd be willing to kick in $30 in hopes of getting them. /o\

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

o/ Alrighty~

After the Chara CDs are all paid for, and after the mascots finally leave Japan (holy crap they should've been there on Wednesday and they're still not marked as arrived and I just have this terrible feeling that FJ forgot to place the freaking order just like the England and Germany CDs and dfhfdhgds I can not afford refunds) I'll work on setting up all my orders for July/August. ;w;

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

Okay! (Oh god they forgot to place the order for my Spain and South Italy cloths and I wanted to kill them. They are so lucky I was able to get the at auction for pretty cheap. Also if you need help I can send you some of the money that I owe you on Monday.)

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

FFF They did that with my Russia/Germany one too :I

Ultimately I had to reorder EVERYTHING from the MobaAni shop instead. Which wouldn't be so terrible, but they never refunded the commission costs from the Animate stuff, so I lost about $8 @__@
Nevermind that they're still REFUSING to refund me for the England/China fastener that's been missing since, what, April?

It's weird though, since Amazon items came in on their release dates just fine. It's giving me this terrible feeling that maybe Animate's just not safe to order from anymore... .___. But I need Animate... ;n;
My Russia CD has to come with a bromide D:

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

They didn't refund me my commision fees either! Which really sucks since they didn't even do the work. :T

All my other items from Animate have come in just fine. It was just the clothes that didn't get ordered. It ended up being 1300 yen + 768 shipping to get them from auction which is still making me :T when I think about it even though it could have been worse.

Fingers crossed your other stuff gets in okay!

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

T__T

Luckily I don't have many other Animate things ordered-- It's just the Karakore and volume 6 of the manga. But. Ffff. They're probably the most important items.

@__@ I don't care that much if it's just screwing up something of mine I can replace-- YJ hunting is fun, really. But I can't have a group order explode like this. Not one that's over $150.

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

Oh boy. I ordered Vol 6 from YJ and from AmiAmi just to be on the safe side.

I have my fingers crossed that this won't explode on you but if it does do not worry about my refund we can just work it out with what I owe you.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Ah, it's not refunding buyers I'm worried about so much as gathering the funds to buy three more boxes before they all sell out. @__@
Super hoping the first three show up on Monday so it doesn't have to come to that.

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh okay. Well here's hoping they arrive when they should!

[cherylwoo.livejournal.com]

Sorry for butting in like that, but I just wanted to let you know that a friend of mine is going through the same thing.

She ordered a box of the mascots, and they haven't reached FJ yet. Thinking it was strange, she contacted FJ, who told her that the order has not been cancelled and perhaps Animate cannot send out all the items on the release date. When she asked FJ when they will be delivered, FJ told her probably in the next 2 or 3 days.

For her sake, I'm glad to hear that she's not the only one this is happening to.

So I guess it's a waiting game?

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Ohgod that's good to hear ;__;

When the Germany and England CDs were late, I asked them what happened and they responded by cancelling the orders on me @__@ So I just have this unending fear that they'll do the same thing all over again.

But maybe just too many people ordered. Animate did change the listing to backordered a while ago, so they might be waiting for more stock from Movic~ ;w; I don't recall Movic orders ever arriving on the release date.

\o/ Let's all hope for the best, then!

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

Oh boy. I ordered Vol 6 from YJ and from AmiAmi just to be on the safe side.

I have my fingers crossed that this won't explode on you but if it does do not worry about my refund we can just work it out with what I owe you.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

. . .
THIS IS RANDOM, but please tell me you use Chrome and shut down your computer last night without closing the window first.

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

Not last night but I have done it before.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

;~; LJ is so weird then.
But I'm glad I'm not the only one it does that to. *hugs*

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

No I do it all the time sadly. *hugs*

[thisisvodka.livejournal.com]

wow, these all look stunning... dat btt tapestry *__*
thankfully i'm not a big collector XD although i'm hoping that prussia and hungary are on the other side of that trump file box... or hell, even liechtenstein. i love her cardverse design to pieces.
it's not imperative that i own it but it'd be neat to have and i could put my doujins in it ^_^

[miro-rio.livejournal.com]

Relieved Spain is in it again this year but now he's higher in the tier so this is going to be hard on my wallet. xD

Still happy he's on a tapestry though and were finally able to see the full art! More Prussia legs haha

[forest-snivy.livejournal.com]

France in glasses I approve *-*)b
~Bad Touch Tapestry do want into infinity~

[chirigirl13.livejournal.com]

Brb crying ∞ever

*throws her wallet at Japan* *takes the BTT tapestry and FrUKUS cushion and runs*

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

xD

This is one of those times I'm really really glad I picked Russia.

Good luck with the expensive things~! ;w;
If I end up with either I'll let you know. Still undecided whether I'm ordering any tickets for myself.

[chirigirl13.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm going to need all the luck I can get. :'D And that would really help, thanks! ;w; I'm probably going to have to end up stalking Y!J for them because I don't have any way to order tickets for myself. OTL;; I swear, between this and the Animate Cafe... are they trying to kill us?

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Well I'm probably ordering some tickets for lilredlfc so there's no reason I can't get you some as well.
It's just.
holycrap shipping from Canada will be absolutely INSANE if that pillow turns up. ;~; I mean I'm sure it'll be less than a $100+ auction, but probably not by too much...

[chirigirl13.livejournal.com]

Well, realistically speaking, I doubt I'm going to end up getting that pillow no matter how much I want it. XD;; I mean, I wanted the America & England pillow too, and I never ended up getting it... I just don't have any room for any huge pillows, especially since my plushies take up my entire bed. XD;;;; Though if you could order some tickets for me, that would be great! ;w; I want most of the prizes anyway, so I'm pretty sure I won't be disappointed no matter what I end up getting. XD; How much are the tickets, and how many can you order? Oh wait derp reading is a thing—okay, 500 yen per ticket, that's not too bad. Second question still applies though: how many can you order? XD;

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

\o/

My worry's just if I take these orders for people and a pillow DOES turn up how the heck do I send it xD
But yeah it's pretty unlikely so it's all good.


Since they're 500 yen, FJ will want 525 per ticket. There's a 200 yen total commission, but I can cover that easily, since I'll PROBABLY get carried away and order some for myself as well.
Any idea how many you'd like to order? ;w; Animate's drop-down menus only ever reach 10, but I believe it's possible to add 10 to the cart multiple times. The current AniKuji tickets don't have any "max __ per user" notes, either.

[chirigirl13.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess it depends on when I have to send you the payment by. XD; I'm short on cash right now, but if I could send the payment sometime after next week I think I should be able to order 10 tickets which, at the very least, should hopefully guarantee me the can badges that I want, if not the tapestry or the cushion. XD;;;

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Sounds good~

;w; I need to get other orders out of the way first, and the tickets can't be bought before the 25th, so maybe from the 19th to the 21st would be the best time.
Regardless of the actual date, it needs to be after Karakore mascots have been shipped, or it won't be in my paypal afterwards ;~;

[chirigirl13.livejournal.com]

Alright, so just keep me posted on when the Karakore mascots get shipped, and I'll send the payment after that! ^_^

[hongzhizhu.livejournal.com]

I can't decide whether or not to be relieved or disappointed that Russia didn't wind up on another cushion this time around.

My wallet is relieved.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Exactly my pain right now.

They could so have made a third pillow and used the Russia/China art from the same set.
And the character choice would keep the price from ever skyrocketing, too!

But. With the Speakots and Animate Cafe and AniKapu and who knows what else on it's way... It's a break we really need.

[raz2b.livejournal.com]

SHITSHITSHITSHIT

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT The second I saw France in the top two tiers I was already feeling sorry for your wallet.

Anyway it looks like I'm running a small order so if you want I could grab you some tickets? But. There's the part where shipping from Canada makes it 100% not worth it, if a pillow happens.

[raz2b.livejournal.com]

Oh you can order tickets??? C-can I ask where from? I'm planning on throwing as much as I can at tickets to see if I can get it right off the bat. If not... well, I-I'll have to sell more things I think. France why did you have to post with those twooooooo ;~;

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

A little later in the month, the Hetalia Anikuji will show up here (http://www.animate-onlineshop.jp/an/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%81%8F%E3%81%98/aw/34460/?pc=1) in purple. It can't be preordered, but, the moment it's the 25th it'll be possible to buy tickets~ ;w;

Of course, it'll also probably sell out in the first hour or two @__@ So there's that.

[raz2b.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, okay... I'll try to grab some and you try grabbing some and let me know if you grab some for me and I'll totally pay you for them even if they don't turn up a france item. T-That way at least we can double our chances. I mean, 500yen compared to probably $100+ for that cushion ALONE....
