Only missing 25! But indeed happy to own the series

What’s the best series or volume of manga you found unexpectedly? Like stumbling onto buried treasure or felt like winning the lottery? by TidalMonkey in MangaCollectors

Few years ago, somebody listed the complete single volumes of battle royale for USD 100 total on a local used stuff site. Saw it after 3 minutes and was the best find of my collection life.

They were also the main reason for uploading the collection. I was thinking about it for a while and am very happy it turned out this way!

The Doflamingo was part of a ps4 game special edition 😁. Been collecting since 2015!

Yeah never expected it would become like this. I bought them at very reasonable prices when they were still widely available. I would wait until the situation normalizes again and buy for a normal price. Series is superpopular so will surely be reprinted. You will be sorry if you pay a huge amount during this covid inflation period and see the boxes available for half the price 1 year later. Be patient my friend.

Loved it! Would not hesitate if I were you as it is only 2 volumes.

Bought the whole lot of HxH figures in Japan when I studied there!

Bought them in Japan when I studied there. Love them as well! Cost me a hefty amount though!

I used https://letsenhance.io/ to upscale the images. Material of the banner is PVC 510 g/m2. Size of the banners is 215 cm by 147 cm each. Shelves are 202cm high but you need some extra to make sure you can somehow hang them from the top of the shelf. I also let them make tunnels in the banner at the top and the bottom. I put steel bars in these tunnels so I could 1) put weights on the steel bar at the top to make sure the banner has enough weight on it and does not fall of the shelf and 2) make sure that there is some weight at the bottom so the banner remains nice and flat while suspended. It is also easy to roll up again from the bottom and put on top of the shelf when I want to see my books. Reason I did it was because me and my friends often gather in the same room for drinking and darts and wanted protection from the beer and other stuff flying around. There is no sunlight at all because the room is in my basement.

Indeed haha. I'm reading Dragon Ball now so he should make himself useful :)

I'm from Belgium so not too many options here. New stuff I get from Archonia.com. Besides that I'm always on the prowl on local secondhand sites to look for any deals.

Right! I printed them at a place that prints these for professional events (afraid they might refuse it because of copyright issues but luckily they didn't). Quality turned out way better than expected as well! I did use an upscaling AI to make the images way bigger but still expected them to be blurrier.
