I was having the same problem with DBZ vol.6 and DB vol. 5 as well. They're out of stock everywhere online, but my local comic book store owner was able to order them for me. Should be in by next week and then my set is complete!

The VizBigs constantly go out-of-stock and in-stock again, just gotta keep an eye out.

Try Amazon and Books a Million. Books a Million is basically Barnes & Noble but whole sale so its always the price on the book instead of a store price bumping it up 4-5 bucks.

Cool! Maybe I can try that! Vol. 6 and 9 seem to be the harder ones for DBZ. I got 9, but every site I ordered Vol. 6 from they keep e-mailing me, to tell me they ran out of stock. I just got my money back from Books a Million, so I was thinking to try to get one used on ebay, but that's an alternative, I never thought of. I saw in 2013 on old forum posts that Vol.4 and 5 were hard to find then, and now they're readily available on amazon, so hopefully Vol.6 comes in stock soon!

Today I received the Saikyo Jump March 2014 issue with the Episode of Bardock tankōbon style volume. Having a lot of fun with it all at the moment.

I bought Delicious Island's Mr. U from eBay for ~$12.00. The listing ended but the seller only sold 2 of 8 copies so he might put it back up eventually.

How do you go about buying Saikyo Jump, I've been interested for a while but I'm not sure where to start.

I just used CD Japan for my purchase which you can use as well here: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.htm ... BK-1583688

For shipping I just went ahead and got Fed Ex International Priority which takes 1-3 days. I got it in one day (shipped on the 12th, arrived on the 13th).

Received my Full Colour Manga, Broli film and something else.

I was curious and it's smaller than DBZ RtDE so not that big as I expected, thankfully.

The rest:

NGE's Platinum 02 DVD comes with a really cool booklet and the quality looks great (Renewal of Evangelion with English subs more or less).

Full Colour Manga looks really nice and detailed every fan should own one of these. :P

I think I got a pretty decent deal on a brand new sealed U.S. Dragon Box Volume 1. I just won the Ebay auction for a grand total of 70 dollars. I'm very excited to own a sealed copy. :thumbup:

My DBZ laserdisc collection continues to grow. I got the Hong Kong version of the first DBZ movie and the Japanese versions of movies 6 and 8. Will likely put a hold on collecting them for right now.
I also received my pre-order of Dragon Ball: Full Color Saiyan Arc V1 back when that came out and the DBZ S2 Blu-Ray came today so I've been marathoning the S1 one. On the last disc now.

My first Dragon Ball purchase of 2014 is Dragon Ball GT: Volume 1(should really be volume 6, but oh well).

I'm guessing it's Funimation's first GT single, or some other company's distribution of said DVD. Since there were 5 "Lost Episodes" volumes that should come before it, that would technically make it number six, like he mentions.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)

Ah yes that's true, I stamped white sticky notes on each disc to know which is which going from Volume 1-21 (TV Special) because all those "-ation" titles are confusing.
