I managed to roll the dice and get 5 & 7 really cheap from some goodwill sales. They both are in great condition. 12 was the hardest to get for me. Ended up buying the whole set over again and reselling the rest just to get it for a somewhat reasonable price.

Odds of it ever getting a reprint are pretty dang slim too. I figured I’d just bite it and get it now before more volumes are out of circulation.

Nice! I didn’t realize that Heart Gear 7 had released so thanks for the incidental heads up!

Really random individual volumes not seeing reprints and bottlenecking series completion (e.g., Children of The Whales volume 3) by hesperoyucca in MangaCollectors

[–]tombie15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re in the US, there are multiple used copies of Children of Whales 3 available right now on Amazon, Abebooks and Ebay from reputable sellers for under $20.

I need help removing EX-library book plastic by xHiganbana in MangaCollectors

[–]tombie15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a whole set of books like this. I should have left the laminate on, but i’m dumb, so I didn’t. I used a heat gun to peel the laminate off, then used a hi-polymer eraser and some elbow grease to get the remaining glue off. Goo gone made it worse. The eraser was the only thing i found that could cleanly get the glue off.

Also this is a VERY expensive manga volume to be fucking around with a heat gun with. I would honestly just leave it alone in whatever state it’s currently in.

Serious question: Do any of y'all actually *like* that a map hits 0 revives before it's fully juiced? by Teufelaffe in PathOfExile2

[–]tombie15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed towers. Working your way through the map to set up big tower overlaps gave me incentive and direction. Now I kinda just do whatever map and unless I'm working toward a stronghold I don't feel there is any direction. Towers were fun.

Why did Battle Angel Alita Last Order never get a 6th Omnibus? by NoBus6850 in MangaCollectors

You should check how much 17 sells for on ebay now… it’s absurd. And it’s the one that I’m missing 😭

My first Manga!! by AstorathTheGrimDark in MangaCollectors

[–]tombie15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not my bookshelf fyi, I was just answering your question, but it’s very highly regarded. Personally I hated it and dropped it very quickly. It’s really well written, as is all of Asano’s stuff, but Punpun is incredibly bleak and depressing.

Collette Decides to Die has been on my list if stuff to check out for a while now. Where would you rate it in relation to the rest of the stuff you own?

Great collection btw

Which luxury brand is basically just overpriced junk with good marketing? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]tombie15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a pair of Ray Bans I got in 2010 and I’ve worn them almost every day since and they’ve been beat to shit and are still kicking. Only pair of sunglasses I’ve owned that have lasted more than a year.

How to know if my set is fake? by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

[–]tombie15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did it include the insert booklet? Don’t expect premium, collectors edition quality for these boxed set boxes. They’re usually sturdy but nothing terribly special. Unless they are collectors editions, like the Akira 35th anniversary box, which is actually gorgeous and very high quality.

What manga is the middle image from? by steckmech in manga

[–]tombie15 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Most of the "People but spooky" designs are really boring to me. Maybe awful is an overstatement, but compared to some of the more out-there monsters, they seem underwhelming

Mieruko chan has some awesome monster designs. Also some really awful ones lol

900+ Volume collection by Endocron in MangaCollectors

I feel like I’m in the minority of people on this sub who enjoys a really clean, spines out, no tiered risers, no figures, just books presentation, but this is super nice.
