If you e-mail them, they can order it before it's up on their website. Just send them the isbn number.

Meant to post this days ago, but I admittedly forgot.

I noticed that they decided to reuse the color yellow for the spine of Legend 5, the same color used for Legend 2. I wasn't a huge fan of that decision at first but I realized that they might be linking the tournament arcs. I kinda like that, since it makes referencing even easier. It makes me wonder if yellow will be used again for the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai.

Spines so far:

Just pre-ordered Vol 9 and 10. I wonder how many volumes are left! And I noticed the older items are only new and used. Do you think there will be another printing. Are these usually short runs (which I am afraid of and why I'm trying to get them as soon as possible.

I love the way these things look!

Anybody having trouble getting ahold of volume 14? I preordered obviously, but seems to be back ordered and sold out?

These sell out extremely quickly. It's tough to get ahold of any of them at this point. Legend 16 is sold out already, before it's even been released. As much as I like these, I'm ready for them to be done. You can't let them out of your sight for a moment! A few of them re-stock occasionally, but it's extremely random.

You're usually in the clear if you pre-order early. I fell behind so I had to hunt a few down!

Nah, Amazon Japan. I'm considering sending a few back because they aren't in the greatest condition, but I also know that beggars can't be choosers here!

I've been lucky and havent had any issues with preordering from amazon. I can't wait for these to be done just so I can relax lol. I do hope they do a second run for those who missed a vol. Or two

So....I finally decided to start collecting these. I know volume 18 is available for cheap on Amazon jp right now, but I can't seem to order with my regular Amazon account. How do you buy these? I'm looking to pick up the whole set. It looks like thier about 6-7 bucks per volume which sounds like a steal to me!

You have to make a separate account for Amazon JP.
