Out of print on CD Japan and Amazon Japan already? Damn! My import shop has it at $60, so I need to find a cheaper place to get it.

I'm wondering are there any plans to translate the tribute comments just like the Children of Dragonball section.

Absolutely. Already in-progress. Just... slowly :).

Well, for those who don't have the book and want it, CDJapan seems to be getting another shipment which you can preorder from here: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-1901307
However, I feel really bad for those who weren't able to preorder it before release day since shipping costs have skyrocketed for this book

Well that's cool. I lost my job so I wasn't able to buy it, but I hope this shit doesn't end up being rare by the time I have the money :)

That sucks. I hate to break it to you, but it's kinda already rare, but those who don't have the book are lucky that CDJapan seems to be getting a new shipment. They'll probably sell out soon, but this is CDJapan's 2nd restock, and if it sells out fast, then I don't see a reason why they wouldn't do another restock. If they don't restock, the only thing you can do is pay the extremely high scalper prices that are double the retail price

Well that's not gonna be a problem, I've been doing some freelance stuff but I have to pay for my daughter's birthday, and some other stuff so that's why It's gonna take a while. :thumbup:

This book totally exceeded my expectations! SO much original art and sketches... the pencil version of the final Dragon Ball chapter is really really cool to see.

There were way more tribute illustrations than I thought too! Including some Shonen Jump rookies who don't have the gravitas of Watsuki or Akimoto, but who knows, perhaps one day they will! It'll be great to revisit years later for that reason.

Looking forward to seeing Kanzenshuu's translations of this continue to come in. There's certainly a lot to choose from! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to dig out my Daizenshuu and compare those "story boards" to the final pages....... 8)

I actually almost gave my hopes up and went on ebay to check prices for this book. I decided to go on cdjapan and check again low and behold it's back! preordered that sucker along with all the dragonball sd manga and that new magazine that has the boy and girl versions. Pockets feeling a bit light at the moment lol
