I would like to buy the full collection of LO, but on ebay it cost a kidney and if I buy one by one from Amazon it cost me another kidney with the shipping cost.

I was wondering do you think there are physical comic shop that would have the full collection , or many volumes at once.

If you happen to see in a comic book store a full collection or a large number, or you know someone that is willing to sell it for a decent price.

Could you contact me ?

http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books ... 1612622910 this for the omnibus (3 volumes in 1 book)

and also for the 180 pages volume( this is for volume 19) http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books ... o-kishiro/

If it is still too expensive then I don't know any other websites (printed versions btw) :D

I would have prefered used ones, the problem with website is they often don't have the full collection o have high shipping cost.
In this case shipping is free for more than 30$ ( but I have to pay custom for more than 60$ ) and there are many LO missing , and there is no Omnibus 6.

No one has a good corner book store , or garage sale ? Maybe if someone have a good corner book shop , I can buy from that someone.

Though personally I rather get brand new books from Kodansha as pre owned books the author doesn't gain any income from it. I realise this ever since some of them mention about it, they encourage readers to buy new copies as it would help them gain income.

But if you still want cheaper books I found another site that accepts Australian dollars http://www.fishpond.com.au/Books/Battle ... vAoduJwA4Q

I would agree with you , but I can never find the full collection , and I don't really like the Omnibus , they usually are to big and made of toilet paper and over expensive. So I would really prefer to have the old collection that is now sold only as block , and there are few website that have them all.
That is way I would prefer the garage sale.

So the only remaining of the old series is 16-19 ?
I'm intrigued by the omnibus discount and free shipping. But usually in Italy the Omnibus are made with toilet paper. Does anyone know the english version how is ?

@ 00_unit thanks for the link to the website. Do you know how long the discount is good?

There is something wrong. The omnibus is a collection of 12 volumes. I myself bought the digital version.
Besides having Gunnm itself from volume 1 to 15, the omnibus also bring several different works by Kishiro.

And, yes, volumes 16-19 are out of the omnibus.

Not sure but I can say the paper are not made out of toliet paper. The quality of paper is like a novel kind of quality has that roughness feel to it.
