Hopefully it gets a reprint at some point.

Looks awesome though.
Ended at $185.

Its a nice book, just not $185 nice. I'd love to go to a Cave matsuri only to toss everything on ebay and make back 2-3 fold what I paid for the stuff... :roll:

I thought the same. Akihabara is 15 minutes from my house, but I didn't even consider braving that nerdgasm. I hear people were lined up at 2am the previous morning. I can only imagine how crowded it was... That in itself is maddening. I cant stand rush-hour Tokyo. I desperately wanted to go, but its just not worth the frustration. Same reason I never go to the comikets, or much of anything relating to my hobbies over here. Hell, the Akai Katana loc. test frazzled my nerves a bit, and that wasn't even a bad crowd.

By the time you get jacked on the exchange rate, pay your proxy for the bother, and cover shipping.. This is a $100 book.

You have to think Cave will offer it again.

I should have mine up for sale here either today or tomorrow. $85.00 plus shipping. I suppose that if you're dastardly you could turn around and sell it on eBay, but I'm not going that route.

I nabbed 10, and have already sold 3. reserve yours while you have a chance. ONE per member.

Thanks Rancor. Now the miserable wait for it to arrive in my country.
