ARIA Order

My HLJ order comprising Beat Alicia Florence 1/6 figure and ARIA The Natural Perfect Book has been shipped today. I had hope that the other ARIA order, ARIA PS2 Game material would make it in time but it didnt. HLJ even priced it incorrectly but ammended after I told them. They said that the stock hasn't arrived due to long holiday. AJ has it, guess AJ worked throughout the holidays. I did save about ¥380 having the book shipped together with the figure. But I still have to pay at least ¥680 SAL shipping for the PS2 book later.

Vendor: HLJ
Order: Beat Alicia Florence 1/6 Figure
Cost: ¥6631 (Early Bird)
Order: ARIA The Natural Perfect Guide Book
Cost: ¥1886
Shipping:¥1780
Total: ¥10297 (AUD $109)

Next time, I might go for AJ as Adun has mentioned, faster service thought shipping slightly more expensive.

P/S: Adun had his Perfect Guide Book and Premium Poster book from AJ already, so visit moemoerabu to see them.

AMG Artbook and PS2

Hidenori Matsubara Artbook. Megami-sama has uploaded several pages of AMG artworks. Most of the artworks have been published as DVD covers, CD covers, posters and magazine scans. Megami-sama has identified them under the image cross-references section. Visit Megami-sama for the scans.



AMG PS2 game will be released on 22nd February. Some of the PS2 artworks released are done by Matsubara for example the left one, featured in afternoon magazine, which is very beautifully produced. But the right one, featured in Megami magazine Feb. 2007, is terrible.
