I guess we're talking about slightly different things. Both you and I learned something new.

Anyway, I'm surprised Volume 1 is doing so well before the release date.

ACertainStark · 2014-11-14, 23:57

Very true! Likewise. I'm sure the Funimation release for Index II Part 2/Endymion will also provide an even further boost to upcoming volumes as it should re-ignite interest since it releases in December & January.

That said, I'm sad Accel World doesn't seem to be holding up. I hope I'm wrong once vol 2 hits on Tuesday , but it's in the shadow of its sibling. I'll always pick it up over SAO though!

EDIT: (Regarding AW) To be fair, this is exclusively Amazon, but they do own a large portion of the market.

Kenju of the Right · 2014-11-15, 08:03

Keep encouraging people to buy guys! Maybe we can surpass SAO in the release date!

Ravagerblade · 2014-11-15, 08:04

I got it pre-ordered on Amazon, TBH, this will be the first Light Novel I've ever Bought, I've tried hard to make it so and now finally I can make it true! I'm so happy!

They only ship in Canada and in the US

Hiromin · 2014-11-15, 10:19

Am I the only one here who didn't pre-order it, not because of not wanting it, but because of not being able to ?

Actually in my country, we can't even buy things online from other countries. Because our currency can't be used in the international market... So no light novels, no video games, no mangas, no Anime DVDs, no OSTs, no figurines and posters and goods. nothing at all for me

Unless I go abroad myself...And even then, they only allow us to take excactly 1123$ per trip (with the hotel expenses, food expenses, transport expenses, etc... only little of this sum remains for shopping...)

Fukou Da... T_T

Pablete · 2014-11-15, 10:36

I'm in the same situation.

If you don't mind me asking, where do you live?

It's kinda strange that you can't buy things online

ACertainStark · 2014-11-15, 11:19

Really sucks some of you guys can't buy it due to country. :x

Wow. If it was the Estimated date then you could put it aside since that is always way off and wrong, but damn.

I'm curious too. Is it Bermuda? Maybe we could attempt a smuggling operation for you

.

My copy of Vol.1 will probably arrive in the next week. Can't wait. I'm so going to compare the translation to BT.

i am in a different situation( i can buy it....but the cost of the courier for one book is deadly ).....so i need to wait for other thing that i want to buy and make a "pack" (fu! customs and d*l/ couriers branches ...).

ehh i didn't know about the money issues..because you can "change" your country money to dollars..but i suppose it have to do with the custom office (embargo/"old" law/ revolution)...in any case..with the new govern your country should be fine (at least "better")

No legal credit card here trades in EU or US.

There are some people (mostly youtubers) who got one that does though, but with illegal ways x
xD

Well, as far as I know, nothing changed concerning online shopping after the revolution with the past government during the past 3 years. But, with the new government that was elected just some weeks ago, things may really change.

Also, Dazo... I'm surprised at how much you know about politics in my country! Amazing

EDIT2
About your case, yeah. That is really bad, can be even worse than mine. Because I know that I would never get it, so i don't have expectations. But for you, the wait can be very hard

As he said it's useless if done legally. Tunisian dinars cannot be freely exchanged into other currencies.

A little info dump. http://www.tunisia-live.net/2013/09/...mains-offline/

It sucks.
