Amazon.com doesn't seem to have a listing for manga vol. 2 anymore, even for Market Place sellers (which I can't use anyway). TRSI's site doesn't list the full series anymore. Still need 2 and 4 to complete my set. ADV Manga must be in really bad shape.

Guess I should order online ASAP.

ADV manga's been in really bad shape for a long time now. For all intents and purposes, they might as well be dead since they pretty much closed shop a while back. Checking a lot of out-of-the-way stores and eBay are probably your best bet.

With the multiple re-releases of the first two anime series, I thought ADV would at least keep the Retsu Tateo manga in print. Been putting of getting the DVDs since the Tagalog dub was still in reruns a couple of weeks ago. Lucky for me since the Heavy Metal Collection has both ADV series for the same price as the old thinpak collection(s) of just the first series.

Already got FMP Sigma vols. 1-3 (Chuang Yi edition) since I found them in stock locally.

Vol. 4 is still available from amazon.co.uk and also from Book Depository (though I'm not sure if BD will ship to your location).

Vol. 2 is available for next to nothing through amazon.co.uk's marketplace but if you can't order from the US marketplace I doubt you'll be able to order from the UK one either.

The Philippines isn't on the list of Payment countries, so Marketplace sellers are no good for me. Using a proxy service might be okay if I absolutely can't find something anywhere else.

TRSI and RACS still have volumes 2 and 4, so it should be simpler ordering from either of them.

I think Power Books may have volumes 2 and 4 in stock--somewhere. Their database (accessible by in-store kiosk) is out of date. The branch (A) that was supposed to have them said they moved all their graphic novels to another branch (B). (B) said they don't have them either.

Would be cheaper to get the books locally, but thankfully RACS and TRSI still have them in stock.
