Dunno if this helps, but I participated in the Kickstarter for Unico, Atom Cat, and Triton, and depending on your pledge level, some copies of Triton vol 1 were shipped in July (probably where the used copies are coming from) while the rest are being shipped with Triton vol 2 in September. I don't know when places like rightstuf, etc are scheduled to get stock, but DMP definitely hasn't exhausted their stock of them already.

I participated in that kickstarter too, and there was some weird thing in the wording of the pledges where certain levels got a copy of Triton 1 even if they hadn't officially pledged for it (and those of us who did pledge for it got two copies). So I've got an extra just sitting around collecting dust, if you're interested...

... If only I wasn't so impatient as I grabbed up to 20 and paid a little excessively for 15-17, ah well I suppose it balances out against the amount of bargains I have managed to snag over the past year or two.

Thank you very much for the offer! Very Happy

Any one seen cheap volumes of berserk 30-34? Under 50$ would be fine

Well, I suppose we could...

Just to be clear for everyone else, Dark Horse just told us that they'll be reprinting volumes 1-34, and the expected date for those to be available is 10/23. Very Happy

I just picked up a copy of Black Jack 15 today, $10 used (which I will sell for cost+tax+shipping), I could've sworn someone around here was hunting it.

Classicalzawa -

Faraway at the bottom of this page was after V15.

Nice grab by the way, I was out off grabbing BJ due to the excessive pricing of the later volumes.

And me, right before that. I'll take it off your hands!

I was lucky enough that my local Kinokuniya had all the out of print volumes of Black Jack. They still have a few, if anyone's looking for any in particular. (I need an excuse to go back there, anyway.)

They had Black Jack 15, which I didn't have money at the time to get. It's gone and no other bookstore/comic book shop/manga shop has it in LA.

Also, if anyone's looking for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 6, RightStuf seems to have it listed again:

Thanks. Have to see how hideous shipping to the UK is though.

@SSKK - You did very well with Basara. 19 and 20 are like gold dust.

Amazon UK has it too for a bit more than Amazon's US site. Maybe it'd be cheaper off of there than having it ship internationally?

You amazing people... I just read through all 49 pages of your Manga Hunt Adventures.

Do you ever get 'buyers remorse' over spending too much on a certain item and than missing out on others?
I bought a complete set of Mushishi recently (and still need to pay my husband back a little less than half of the price), and now I'm all unhappy, since everything else seems to run through my fingers.

Anyway, what works best for me is to keep my collection up-to-date all the time, with only 1, max 2 series that need to be completed one at a time.
That works well with my impression that OOP series are best bought in bundles.
