Someone is selling this on Yahoo! Japan right now, for a lot, (90,000 Yen) but it's got nice pictures so I thought I'd post them here.

Here's the auction itself, in case anyone has a lot of extra money.

The seller won't ship internationally, so I'm thinking that's a ''no no'' for me. Thought the price-tag in itself is, too.

It looks mighty cool, that's for sure. Though I actually think I'd be cheaper off buying each volume separately...

Wow, that box looks cool close up. I actually have a few of those books and they come with a "mail this piece of paper away to get the box", though I doubt I could mail it from here ^_^;;

What are the two volumes at the end?

Dai · Post by **Dai** » Thu Dec 02, 2004 3:12 pm

I'm guessing the ''Landmark'' books?

And they would be?

The box was advertised as being able to hold all the manga, and LANDMARK and FOREVER. LANDMARK is the red one on the end, but FOREVER has a green spine, so I'm not sure what the blue one is.

How much is 90,000 Yen in US dollars?

The blue one is Son Gokuu Densetsu, the DBZ anime guide. I guess maybe he likes that book more than Forever... or something.

(Oh, and this case was the prize in the contest we mentioned way back in April or so.

That'd be around 850 dollars. Which yes, is expensive.

Eh, it's shrinkwrapped, so I doubt it. Personally, I'd rather have Paul Champagne make a custom uber box, and save $500

Who didn't even spend that much on any one of his Dragon Boxes O_O;;

Damn, If I could I would... But oh well, I don't have the $500 to lay down, and let's not mention the ticket money to go to Japan to actually get it from the guy! XD

Well, if you don't have $500, you *really* don't have the $900 he's charging

-Corey

Edit: Not to mention, the individual volumes are $10/each at amazon.co.jp, so about $400 for the entire run including express shipping...so that's $500 for a box O_o;;;

I wonder if I should mention someone else is selling one for around 25,000 Yen, with a buy it now price of 50,000 Yen? Oh well.

Ouch! I had it all wrong then... thanks! ^_^ And yes... $500 for a box is ludacris!

I would buy it, if I lived in Japan and spoke it and had over a million dolars. >_<
