We really do not make anything on shipping, to be honest. I know that some customers have made use of freight forwarders or have taken advantage of free shipping by having a US friend take delivery and having the product reshipped to them. Is that an option for you? |

Given TOKYOPOP's back history, your surprised someone raises such an issue? |

Finally!
 I was really worried I would never see the end of the story so for me this are good news. I will probably have to pay extra but I was planning on making an order on right stuff anyway so better to put all stuff together

Do you have some data showing that Tokyopop did not pay its authors or licensors royalties? I understand people have a dislike for Stu Levy, but this is a fairly serious accusation that needs to be backed up with facts. Regardless, in terms of my involvement, I can insure payments are made since we have direct contact. |

I don't see anything at that link stating that the creators are/were not getting paid. To the best of my knowledge, Tokyopop bought their properties and chose not to continue them. The creators still received a remittance for them to have sold those properties to Tokyopop. I certainly understand the disappointment of the fans not being able to finish their series, as well as those authors whose series were not continued. We are trying to make a difference, in cases like these, as we are doing here with Bizenghast. The last volume in the story was not printed, so we are making that happen. Many of these authors are in the same situation and may have work completed that may be ready to go. I'll be reaching out to some of them over time to see what we can do to assist. There is a distinct difference, however, between someone who was paid to create something and the company chose to not do something with it (this happens in Hollywood all of the time!) and someone having their work essentially "stolen" because they were not paid for it. It does not sound to me that the latter is what occurred, but more the former. Regardless, I'm not here to critique Tokyopop's business practice. I'm trying to do what I can to serve the fans (and in turn, help get creators' works out there so both they and the fans can benefit from them). |

Is there any chance of getting light novels on print on demand say for example Full Metal Panic? Even if it is just the rereleases that would nice. Although new releases would be great.
 Thanks
