Hetalia Artbook up for preorder!

[oresame.livejournal.com]

So if you were interested in nabbing Hima's artbook (to be released February 28, 2011), but didn't want to go through services just to get them from a Japanese webshop or something, fear not~ As of now, there are two sites you can preorder the book from without having to go through shopping services :D

For those who didn't know, it comes with three extra items:
1) Poster
2) sticker
3) mini character cards

Size: A4/96 pages

Sites that will ship to anywhere in the world:
Hobby Search
Price: 3,800 yen

AmiAmi
Price: 3,990 yen
Notes: Preorder is tentative(?) - It just got listed like, today _{i know this cause i'm a fag that checks this site everyday}, so that may change. AmiAmi usually puts discounts on their items too, but I'm not sure if they'll do it for this book as well.

Other sites:
Rakuten - Japan only (link from maya_chu )
Price: 3,990 yen (includes shipping from shop to where ever your service is)



_{so I'm really, really, really hoping this is all drawn by Himaruya (or at least, majority is his artwork)... 8D;;}

I didn't know you were quoting me. Ahah. 8D

Kinokuniya will probably have it once it's released, so I'll wait until then. I hope at least most of it is Himaruya's art. Also, I really want those playing cards!

... *temptation T__T* and... wow, Italy looks different on that cover o_o Maybe it's just the eyes...

[kenzi-chi.livejournal.com]

it's cause his eyes are OPEN
lol jk XD

You know, if I had to have only one piece of merchandise (other than the manga) to own from the Hetalia franchise, it would be this. TxT; Only if it has Himaruya's artwork in it mainly though. _{Although that lovely Austria coaster I was gifted with was still a treasure. You know who you are. <3}

That red Jack Italy is so cute, uwah. <33

Did they also release the limited edition vol3? All it says on Gentosha is that they're taking reservations from bookstores and only making that much.

[bei-kun.livejournal.com]

... Huh? Sorry, but I'm lost...

[chik-click.livejournal.com]

yeah that's what I thought too, it sounded like a limited release so I didn't expect to be sold elsewhere but I guess it is?

[sealand.livejournal.com]

Who knows. I'm reserving my copy just in case. :3

[slytherin-slash.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the info, I just pre-ordered mine from Hobby Search. :D

[xxpianosex.livejournal.com]

has already spent 57 dollars this month on LJ, dA, and books combined.

8D;;; /in other words broke

I do hope someone scans this when it finally arrives, though

[pixelmicrocat.livejournal.com]

I just preordered it! X3 OMG I can't wait until february >///<
I'm absolutely in love with anything involving Himaruya's art, so this is a must have for me.

[sealand.livejournal.com]

Well it's on preorder and comes out in February. They don't charge you until it gets shipped. :3

It says that it's made to order and that it won't be found regularly in bookstores after reservations ends. I could be wrong though.

[miezen.livejournal.com]

I hope there will be some way to tell if this is going to be at least mostly Himaruya art. I want this, but not if it turns out to be a bunch of DEEN art.

[fujiappletan.livejournal.com]

which site of the above does that? :D

[oresame.livejournal.com]

both AmiAmi and Hobby Search do :D

[solphiia.livejournal.com]

Wow, Hobby Search closed reservations. xD

[oresame.livejournal.com]

ffff that was pretty fast XD

[fujiappletan.livejournal.com]

wonderful!
thank you. pre-ordered at amiami ^^

[canako.livejournal.com]

/IS SKINT

UHHH I really want it and the extras sound so tempting ;-; damn

[carnsy.livejournal.com]

*preorders*

8DD

[solphiia.livejournal.com]

fff Reopened... Guess they're getting good demand for the book. 8D

[aoi-aka.livejournal.com]

Thank you for sharing this! I hope it's easy to get this and not an ordeal and our orders canceled. We'll see how it all goes in January/February! XD

[tokyohottie11.livejournal.com]

Imagine when you buy it it's a bunch of recyled deen artwork. Like a rickroll but you're paying for it.

[attashi.livejournal.com]

Are the extra playing cards, etc only with the preorder?

[archylas.livejournal.com]

Ew, just... no.
