This is no joke it's the idiotic truth Because of stupid Viz i had to go out and spend almost a full 90 Euro's on a ordinary manga because the websites that claim to have it have it all backorded and you can fill in for yourself what that means if websites like Amazon and Rightstuff don't have it.
I would like to see some reactions on that though i just coudn't live missing on something like the Phoenix.
Some advice be on it as soon as possible if your still waiting out on it prices are getting higher every month for it.
4 and 10 and also 5 are starting to get creazy two maybe it's a bit much to make a hole topic of only the lack of some Phoenix volumes that stupid VIZ doesn't reprint but it could go on as a topic of seenng some Tezuka books rising in price beause many get to redicilous proportions.

How much is 90 euro compared to American dollars?

Lol...
If you do want a copy of Dawn, you DO have to spend quite a bit for it. So it's really no wonder why you had to pay that much.
I've seen used copies of Dawn go up for $600 dollars before.

Right now it is about $127.00 US.
This is the converter I use when buying international on Ebay:

The manga was no trouble to find for me as I bought the series in French, but boy is finding the 1978 movie a pain in the neck. Both the VHS from 1982 (with English subtitles) and the Spanish DVD from 2001 are discontinued and also nowhere to be seen on the used market. And for some reason it never got a home video release in Japan.

It seems to me that should I ever read this series, I shall read it in another language. Which I am more prone to do than pay $600 for one volume.

Well it seems i might not even get it and have to claim my money back that blows even more today was the last day of the delivery estimate.
I don't know what the hell is going on with that stupid Britan Royal Mail at the moment but this will be the second pakage in a short while from the UK that doesn't arive
i realy don't know what the big deal is it's not even 1000 kilometers away i get pakages from south europe whitin 3 or 4 days.
Why should that stupid little sea that separates britan and europe matter so much
