I can't quite remember right now but around 8,000~ish for all of them I think? Might be a little cheaper.

Looking around now they seem to be way more expensive due to limited production, the Miyako plates are probably pretty pricey too.

Most of the official stuff is really expensive now, I paid way too much for the boxes of the lucky dip keychain figures and customs charges on top. I can't justify paying 150 dollars worth for a crappy plate even if it does have Miyako on it or hundreds on those plush toys.

No pics but recently added to my shelf:
Ajin volume 1
Inuyashiki volume 1
Gyo
Strike Witches: Fuso Sea Incident
Trigun Maximum Omnibus 5(I have volumes 1-12 in singles but decided to get the last two volumes in omnibus format)

Anything I should be on the lookout for localization wise? Planetes just got a reprint in omnibus format so that's going to be the next thing I buy and A Girl on the Shore comes out at the end of the month. I've also considered getting the first volume of Gakkou Gurashi too.

Just keep an eye out for official re-releases, I got two Miyako plates when they were re-released a while ago.
You never know when they might decide to do more, hopefully if any new anime gets produced or anything new gets announced you might be able to get some of the things you wanted.

Amazon started using their own contracted or whatever couriers here in England recently. They've delivered to the wrong house multiple times now and said it was handed to resident, it's not like any of the house numbers are obscured or anything. They will leave it in stupid places without putting a leaflet through saying where it is too. You rarely get the option of Royal Mail either, I started using other sites instead now.

Plently.
There are so many things I want but just can't afford to go on a spending spree, I want to get every single DVD and BD release, I want to get all the music CDs + any bundled extras, I want to get the comiket stuff like Hidamari shower curtain, the Miyako rice bowl.
I want to get all the previous issues of Manga Time Kirara Carat (plus the initial magazine Hidamari started out in) I don't have so I can have every issue of Hidamari Sketch released.

There is also special stuff like the Nori Keyboard that would be neat to have.

No one cares what your hobbies are as long as you don't shove it down their throat. No one cares that you like anime unless you won't stop being a faggot about it.

My dad was captain of the football team and set records in track and field in his HS, but is a huge /m/fag and has everything from SDF Macross to Votoms to Gunsmith Cats. He had no problem marrying a normalfag wife whom to this day doesn't understand why we both like watching cartoons the same way we don't get her mobile game addiction.

Is What a Wonderful World slowly going out of print or something? I notice Amazon aren't stocking it anymore. I should probably buy both next time I get paid.

So what are some series you'd like to see localized? I think 7 Seeds could prove very popular, it's ending soon I think and not that long and I'm surprised it hasn't been considered for an English release before but without an anime backing it I wouldn't know how it would do in the sales.

It varies quite a bit, a few have really nice thick, clean paper. Some have horrible sub-newspaper quality paper, especially the ones with multiple volumes compiled into one. Most feel about as thick as standard printer paper (or at least feel as stiff as printer paper), they aren't quite white and they have a noticeable scratchy, rough-looking texture.
I don't really know anything about paper though so I can't tell you much more than that.

I talked to Vertical's representative at Anime Central last year (May), and he said because of the really high printing costs with the colored parts, gloss paper, and hardcover binding, Gundam the Origin will probably only stay in print for about a year after its publishing run. I've picked up volumes 1, 8, 9, 10, and 11 so far so I definitely feel your pain (my library has the full set). I might just end up buying the japanese aizoban and reselling the english ones I have.

I got a B&N Membership a while ago and I'm not a hundred on whether it's worth it. It's definitely cheaper than Amazon to buy, and I feel like it's more fun because of Manga Mondays and the random 20-40% off deals. But sometimes Amazon is still cheaper. I haven't had any shipping issues with either one of them, but that might be a local thing.

Does anyone have a rightstuf membership? Is it worth it at all?

id say its worth it if you buy a lot of books (not just manga). I dont really use amazon for books anymore because of what I said up there and it really just depends where you shop. I know right stuff can be okay sometimes. only problem is that right stuff doesnt give out free shipping with their memebership only small discounts.

I know what you mean, I hate it when I order a book listed in “good” condition, only to open it up to find some mystery food stains bleeding through the pages. Like did you even look at the book before you listed it?
But what I hate even more then that are ex-library books. Don’t get me wrong, if my library is having a discard sale, I’ll buy a bag full of manga at $0.10, especially if I haven’t ever heard of the series before and it looks interesting; But words cannot describe my hate when I order a book in “good” condition, wait two weeks for it to ship, excitedly open it up, only to find a library logo, irremovable stamps, and a coating of tape.
How hard is to hold to standards that have been in place since 1949? Ex-library books are “fair” at best and “poor” at worst! Even if you want to sell it a “good” you are required to CLEARLY MARK DEFECTS!
Luckily when I complain, 9 times out of 10 they give me a full refund no questions asked. But now I have a shelf set aside just for library discards, and to rebuys. Even on that shelf I’ll peel off all the stickers, all the layer of tape, give it a good alcohol rub down to get rid of residue, and use a dremel to sand off all the stamps I can. I’ve gotten pretty good at it.
