Thanks for keeping us posted. I plan to get a new scanner early next year. Maybe some scans of this new material will be in order. I'll watch this topic for developments.

Unfortunately, korder seems to only accept local japanese orders.

I will be ordering very soon, so those from the little red dot who really wants it badly maybe we can try to work something out. Total costs involved to get it to the little red dot is still not known (due to shipping costs etc). If u're from the red dot & not fussy, then we can discuss via email.

Very nice!

Very interesting, but...

A new calendar is released in MARCH ? hahaha

[Tachyon]

Well, we've always complained about how slow Nagano can be...

[Rubel Colus]

Very interesting, but...

A new calendar is released in MARCH ? hahaha

hahah... maybe it is japanese culture? not sure.

but this is not the first time he came up with a "school" calendar. School calendar starts from April to March of the next year, probably is a full year for schools?

Now the thing about this calendar is the huge size! Seems like I can only use EMS to get it here, but i can't send from here to a foreign country (to Taiwan) due to the local mail-size restrictions. >_<"

i received my EST calendar a few days ago. its huge.

total of 13 new pictures of EST and some description for each pic.

Apr 2008 - Baltic Academy:2876, Orange Suit (Basic Style)

Jun 2008 - HolyLand Bakkin Rakkan: 2900~, Hyper Chevalier Suit

Sep 2008 - Amaterasu Kingdom: 3070?, Greens Royal High School uniform
Oct 2008 - Laboratory of Meath Silver Ballanche/ Natrium Xing Sakurako: 3035~, Service Wear Suit (Current Suit)

Feb 2009 - Empire Fillmore: 3230~, Imperial Peacock Suit
Mar 2009 - Trio de Colus: 3960, Princess Suit (same picture as cover)

last picture is AD Century Imperial Queen of Kastepo/ EST / Princess Loretta Randers Barranca, Prophet Black Dress

Nagano explains that EST was designed based on L-Gaim Gaw-Ha-Lecce, and Princess Yarn Kastepo based on EST + Lecce, and finally Loretta (4100) is based on the other 3.


Nothing much new info. the "blue black suit", Nagano hints that for fans who follows the updates will probably be able to guess her master at this time. i guess maybe EST became Black Prince's fatima? Also since EST is in Izumo going to AKD at 3069, does it mean 3rd Black Knight Decors is dead by 3069?

of all the pics, i like the space PS, blue suit, crimson suit, and Prophet black dress.

bonus gifts were 2 transparent bookmarks with EST pics (which i like alot), and a sheet of stickers.
