Rule of thumb usually is just divide yens with 100.
So that would be rather cheap for the figure and the manga.
Only, beware of the frauds and fakes.
But look around you ...
Death and Light are everywhere, always, and they begin, end, strive,
attend, into and upon the Dream of the Nameless that is the world,
burning words within Samsara, perhaps to create a thing of beauty.

So, its a friend of mine's birthday soon, and as she is a Alita fan too (and as my spy assistant informs me - does not have any Last Order volumes) - I thought of getting her the first four volumes.
Its a bargain on amazon. Most Last Order volumes are 4-for-3 deal.
So, I type in B... and amazon now already knows that I am looking for Battle Angle Alita. Or BAA Last Order.
So, I browse through the list and there are bunch of LOs but no volumes 2, 3 and 5. WTF?
Amazon should have those. So I dig around and find that they DO have volume 2, but still no 3 and 5.
OK... now I am getting nervous. What is wrong here? Is someone buying off all early volumes?
I mean.. I could understand not enough volumes 2 but there should be a bunch of volume 5s, right?
Its newer and besides, there is no logic in someone hoarding them and buying every last one while leaving all 3s and 4s, right?
So... I go to viz.com to check THEIR stock.
Guess what?
They don't have a SINGLE Alita manga in stock. Nothing! Zip! Zilch! Nada! Null!
Not any Last Orders, not any Battle Angles - nothing.
They don't even have it listed in their online shop.
Not being known to be easy on a keyboard - I decide to write them an e-mail.
You know... to ask WTF is going on. Where are all the Alitas? Both on VIZ and Amazon.
I mean... I KNOW that they did a reprint of the whole BAA line, and that they are still printing LO line (and changing the motherfuckin' logos 3 fuckin' times during that) - and yet there are none in their manga store.
They have Banana Fish but no Alita.
I click "send" and go back to amazon to dig around some more.
AAAND... to my relief - I find someone's list with accurate links to all the Alita mangas.
Amazon DOES have them all - only their search algorithm apparently sucks.
Can't find them through a search, can't find them in "related products" list, but they ARE there. Strange.
So, I send volumes 1-4 to my friends address and file the whole thing under "weird".
BUT...
5 days later - I got an email from VIZ.
To several paragraphs of my questions and inquiries for explanation I got this:
Not only did they NOT answer my questions, or godforbid restocked their personal online shop where every penny stays "in house" - they send me to a competitor's site.
You know - like some other company that also licenses, prints and distributes manga and anime.
Someone who might also sell me something else, or inform me of some other product that I might consider giving my hard earned ca$h for...
You know... sucke... I mean customer relations.
Also, note that they don't know (or care about) the correct name of their own licensed title. (Battle AliLta)
Idjits.

Maybe try http://www.poweranime.com , they have every single BAA/LO in the second editions!
I almost had to get Volume 4 of Last Order there since Amazon didn't have it for so long.
