Nendoroid Petit Lucky Star New Year Set Preview

October 26, 2008

ls

A preview look of the upcoming “Nendoroid Petit Lucky Star New Year’s Greeting Set” by Good Smile Company. The set will be sold for 3,000 Yen, and looks like it’ll be available for pre-orders at K(?) stores in Japan on November 1st, 2008. I might be wrong though. Atleast from what I know of is that unlike the usual Nendoroid set, this set will only contains 4 figures and cost 750 Yen if you buy them individually.

I don’t know if these will be available for people leaving outside Japan though.
