I hop this is the right place to post this question.

I just bought the 25th Anniversary Mobile Suit Gundam 2009 Calendar. But I have no idea how to use it. there are no holes to put a tack through to hang on the wall or change pages, the paper is practically framable in terms of quality, and the there is no way to seperate the the pages from there binding. I cant seem to figure this out. Has anyone else had one of these?

Well, it may not have been designed to be actually used. It might be meant as more of a collectors item. (Kinda silly but not uncommon).

If you still want to use it, I guess you could break down and stick a tack through it. Or possibly, you could make your own hanging hole. Especially if you've got a hole punch (or preferably something smaller) that can punch a nice clean hole right through on all the pages, it won't look too bad. In fact, it ought to look like it belongs there.

How big is it? Is it spiral-bound?

If it's spiral-bound, you could run a dowel through the spiral and attach ribbon/cord to either end to make a hanger, like on a wallscroll. If it's small enough, you could get a tabletop frame stand for it.

I know what you mean, though- a lot of Japanese calendars really don't seem to be mountable in any way.

That sounds about right. While there is no spiral, I guess I'll just stick a tack through it like you said. Or I could pack it up as a collectable and buy another calendar. Confused I wish there was a warning on this product, This one wasn't cheap. Sad

Can you post some pictures of it? That might help us to help you figure it out.

I have like 5 calenders like that D; I know how to put it up.
on the metal part you see that little circle thingy. You need a Picture Hanger kit. (the nail+hook thing, nail the hook to the wall, the hook goes into that metal circle thing tada it's hanging on the wall.).

But as for flipping pages and useing it as an actual calender xD pretty much impossible.
