So I was on a look out for it... in Tokyo... but was disappointed to not find it... till I realised it was only to be released on 12 Dec 2011...
Of course I was up bright and early on that day... which happens to be the day we were going to visit the happiest place on Earth... Tokyo Disneyland...
I made fast pace to the nearest Family Mart... grabbed a copy... and dashed home... the magazine clasped firmly im my hand...
Unlike those sold in Kinokuniya Singapore... these magazines are considered local magazines and are available in abundance at every convenience store... newsstands... bookstores...
In fact... no shrink wrap here... instead almost all Japanese magazines with GWP are sold with the 'gift' ... tucked in between the pages and secured with either elastics or string...
How cool is that!!!
I paid only JPY720... which is about S$13!!!
This GWP really blew me away...
2 MBMJ zipped pouches... of a substantial size... made from a soft to touch polyester material... with MBMJ stardust jumble print in contrasting black and white... Marc By Marc Jacobs embossed faux leather label on the front... thinly padded... nice even stitching...with contrasting 'silky' lining...
My only itty bitty grouse is... the lining can get stuck in the zipper at times while closing or opening...
Just have to be more aware...
On top of the pouches... there is also a 2012 desk-top calendar!!!
Made of card stock... with a MBMJ stardust jumble printed frame and colorful monthly pull-outs... it even features all the important holidays in Japan...
This is one of the best ever MBMJ GWP... compared to last year's Sweet Jan issue GWP... also a MBMJ item... a tote bag... that looks like the MBMJ paper carrier but in canvas... granted its more sturdy...
Kinokuniya just restocked on this magazine... but stocks are very limited...
Price is S$21.50... before Kino members discount...
