Alter’s Yagami Hayate Box Info

October 16, 2008

hayate

Well, we all know that Alter’s Yagami Hayate is going to be huge!!! standing at 30cm in height when displayed. So one might think, how big will her box be?

So earlier, Alter had just revealed the size of her box to retailers. This is needed so that retailers can reserve enough space for the goods when they arrived at the warehouse.

Hayate’s box is measuring at 45.5cm in length, 27.5cm in Width, and 38.5cm in height.

Wha–? Did I just said that correctly? Yep, 45 CM!!!~XD That’s what I called Big!!. I don’t know if it’s bigger than Alter’s Fate, since I don’t own one.

I ordered one myself, but now I’m having second thought because of her size. I don’t know if I have enough space to display her now~XD

Wonder Festival 2009 Winter Cancelled

October 10, 2008

wf

Yep, you heard it right. This upcoming Wonder Festival 2009 Winter will be cancelled because of the on going further investigations that involves the recent Escalator Accident during Wonder Festival 2008 Summer back in August.

Well, good news is that this does not mean that Wonder Festival is over. The following next event, which is Wonder Festival 2009 Summer, will still commence as usual, hopefully. Basically there will be no Wonder Festival in the mean time until the investigation on the accident is over.

Official Announcement:

これまで開催延期を前提としてご案内して参りました2009年2月15日開催予定のワンダーフェスティバル2009[冬]ですが、いまだエスカレーター事故の原因調査が続く状況下、イベントの予定を立てることができないまま、10月を迎えました。
以後の日程を考えると、当日版権申請のしめ切り設定の困難さ等、さまざまな要素や状況を鑑みて慎重に検討を重ねました結果、誠に残念ながらワンダーフェスティバル2009[冬]につきましては「開催を中止せざるをえない」という結論に至りました。
参加を心待ちにし、開催日の発表をお待ちいただいていたディーラー並びに一般参加者各位には大変申し訳ないお知らせとなり、深くお詫び申し上げます。
なお、開催中止となるのはあくまでも2009[冬]であり、「ワンダーフェスティバルそのものが消滅する」ということではありません。実行委員会としましては、早期の再開に向けて尽力して参ります。
今後につきましては、状況に変化があり次第、随時ワンダーフェスティバル公式Webサイト(http://www.kaiyodo.co.jp/wf/)および模型誌の海洋堂広告ページにて発表して参ります。

This kind of tick me off, but this can be a good lesson learnt for future event goers and planners. Hmm, maybe GSC and other companies after hearing the news might surprised us during next month AFA 2008~ ( ^ _ ^ )
