I've been following this, since it was posted on Siliconera. Since I really want a copy of this (I also own the artbook/guidebook for Xenoblade), I hope it becomes available from CDJapan.

someone would have to put in a special request order for it probably as it's being carried by another store in japan.

Where does it say, that it's only going to be distributed by a single store?

The Siliconera link at the top only mentions a store called Fukkan... I'm just assuming that means that's the only place that's going to sell it.  I don't see the reprint listed for pre-order at a place like Amazon Japan so I'm guessing that it's exclusive to Fukkan.  I could be wrong tho, it's just a guess.

It was listed for preorder at AmiAmi a couple days back, if that helps anyone.

cool I'll pre-order from there then. Thanks for the tip!

It's now also on CDJ: Link

ach i see it's on Amazon Japan now too.  ami ami doesn't let you cancel orders online? ugh. never using them again after this.

Placed an order on CDJ. I wonder why they decided to reprint the artbook. Does the upcoming new Monolith title 'X' maybe have something to do with it?

chances are good this will be localized. i can't see udon or others passing on this.

Speaking of Udon's books, have you seen what these things go for when they go out of print...? Glad I grabbed the Mega Man ones when I did.

i'm not a huge artbook collector, but i stumble about overpriced collectors items every once in a while, yes.
