Amazon.com at least accepts my credit card and I'm from Germany. You could also check Rightstuf.com . They ship internationally, however you probably have to send a scan of your card to them for verification.

bookdepository.co.uk - free shipping, worldwide. They have a ton of books and manga, but dunno what kinds of light novels they have. I know Yen Press has done a few besides Haruhi, so you could look for those specifically. |

I don't think they offer hardcover versions of all the books, only the ones that are going to sell really well. Book Girl (the first one at least), seems to be only available in paperback, for example. Haruhi might be the only hardcover that they do (at least, that I'm aware of). Also, look up Viz's light novels. They've done Shana, dunno about others. (Starting to get a bit offtopic from Haruhi merchandise, though...) |

Kyon should just ask Yuki to do it and it will be done perfectly in a flash. Why go to all that trouble?
That said, Blu-Ray authoring isn't that easy. I do hope they encode it properly, using a decent encoder like x264... |

Granted the authoring explanation does have some validity. They've changed the specifications of the set a few times (adding the new Taniguchi segments, the "making of" clips, the special ED, and of course the English audio) and they could be examining what they could and couldn't put on the set. They still have to add in the textless OP/ED sets (which seem mandatory for any anime set) so it's still likely to change. I viewed the "apology" as just a funny reference for the fans from Sigh V and the overall trend of Haruhi making Kyon do everything for the series rather than an actual reason. The official line (as usual) is that various circumstances have caused the delay. Here is my translation of the official statement on the fansite listing and Kyoto Animation's website that goes as follows: Quote:
Edit: Also at the Summer Wonder festival, some figures were shown from the Haruhi series. The first are two figures that were released this month by Sega and are based from "Endless Eight" There is a variation edition of Haruhi in her bikini with the collection. Next are a couple of Nendoroids from the movie. The non-spoiler one is Yuki to be released in November: Spoiler:
Finally the figma line from Max Factory had three to be shown. The first is middle school Haruhi released next month: Bench is included Following in October is Mikuru Asahina (adult version): And the last one released in November is from the movie and is a spoiler: Spoiler:
All images are from the Gigazine article from the Wonder Festival. If you go to the site, the spoiler images are shown, so be wary if you haven't seen the movie or read the novel. 2nd Edit (7/27): It's not worthy of a double post, but some more stores have put out images of their special favors: Chara-ani (also on last page): Cloth poster by Noizi Ito-sensei Sofmap: Promotional picture card HMV: Original Telephone card Animate: Desktop Calendar

Also put up on the site is the official listing for the Taniguchi Goes Special DVD. Interesting that they list the run time of the segments as 70 minutes when all 8 on the LE DVDs total to just under 2 hours. I'm curious as to what they are going to cut.
Edit: The new artbook is absolutely fantastic. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who can find it. It's only 1980 yen and is worth it. The quality of the images is amazing and a good trip down memory lane. Here's a couple of images that I've taken: I can't wait for the next one to come out!

Sorry again for double-posting, but Kyoto Animation have finally revealed the color prototype for their movie edition Yuki Nagato figure. As expected it's 8000 yen and it will start shipping in Japan during February 2011. The K-On! figures styled after Don't Say Lazy begin shipping this month and last until December, so it'll start after those finish.
Here are a few images of the figure: More images can be found on their official colored figure page. If anyone is interested in getting it, you'd have to go through a middleman and have them order from this page.

Those wondering what the "mini cel" image would look like from Kyoto Animation with their online store exclusive with the BD-Box finally have an answer:
This is the original image that will be colored. It'll likely be the inner square with the outer square representing the matting of the cel. It's not for certain that we will see one of these colored before they are shipped.
