J-Idol Calendar Thread

http://us.yesasia.com/en/brPrdDept.aspx/did-1042/code-j/section-posters/

The link above points you to YesAsia's pre-order list (9+ pages worth). Most of the calendars are shipping by the end of October. Traditionally, calendars coming out of Japan are sold only during the last quarter of the year. Usually, by late December, virtually all the more popular calendars are sold out, never to be printed again. Most calendars sell for between US$25.00 and $30.00.

* I made this topic separate from pcmodem's topic because his talks about making a calendar from scratch, choosing the artistes to include in the calendar. However, people like myself prefer to buy them already made, but didn't want to mix us up with the others.

I actually went over that amount in 2003 (buying 2004 calendars). Noriko-chan herself came out with three different calendars in 2004, roughly $90 right there. I bought some others, including Nakama Yukie and a few others. I ended up selling all but the Noriko ones later on eBay, making a pretty good profit.

All the more reason to stay locked on just one artist: less wallet anxiety... :sweat:

Awwwww! Come on oniichan! You gotta spread the love!! :hehe:

I have a curious question for you people...

Are you going to actually USE the calendars???????

I don't. When I get them, I leave them in hard poster tubing. They're actually more like collectors items to me, so using them would ruin their condition. I don't even use calendars... That's what Microsoft Outlook is for! LOL! :)
