I'm pretty sure he only sold them in white and grey. Black was for special Dojo Members. At least that's the way I remember it. I bet Steve has one.

Heritage Source still has white and grey, but I wear large. It's a shame because they are so cheap. $12!!

I want to publicly thank Kyle for all he did for me at SDCC this year.
He was able to pick up an AP HC 30 for me and Stan did a fantastic sketch of Chizu inside. He also picked up the new sketchbook and some other extras that were just awesome!
I know he spent his own time shopping and shipping everything for me and a few others and it was such a blessing. It really is a big deal for somebody like me who is stuck in the middle of the country and can't get to conventions on the coast.
His pictures of Stan's table were above and beyond and so great to see.
I had also asked him about checking on a hardcover volume 26 and even though Stan didn't have one at his table, Kyle sent me a link for Heritage Source. I had ordered dojo shirts from her a long time ago but forgot to check her site for books. I called Carolyn at Heritage Source(she was Awesome!) and she sent me a HC 26 for cover price!!! It was actually a PC#26 and she threw in a full size Usagi 25th anniversary poster by surprise at no charge. To my surprise I opened it up and it had an extra full size Usagi sketch and autograph. I highly recommend contacting her if you find something on her site. Phenomenal experience.

Thanks again to Kyle and all he did to make my trip to the mailbox so great today! :D

Piggybacking on this....thanks as well, Kyle (Jabba)! I got my box in the mail yesterday, and it was full of treasures. Thanks for selflessly doing so much shopping, taking so many pics, and packing & shipping everything out so quickly. Hope I can repay the favor to you someday.

Very well worded and completely describes my feelings as well.

I would also like to add that, as an attendee of a few Detroit area conventions in the past, I know how it is wandering around a convention seeing all the cool stuff and how it makes you think "I sure bet so-and-so would love this, should I get it for them?" every time you see something awesome.

I am just really glad I could answer Kyle's questions on what I would love before he began driving himself nuts wondering what I would like out of all the cool stuff at SDCC this year because I know the questions would have been depriving him of half the enjoyment of attending if I had not provided him with a wish list prior to the show.

So I would also like to say that I am glad I could help Kyle keep his sanity during this years biggest and bestest comic convention. :D

Kyle for president! ;)

I also would like to publicly thank Kyle. I'm not home yet but I know the stuff Kyle bought for me has already arrived because Kyle provided a tracking number. And he also gave me a refund because I overpaid him. Just another example of the generosity of Kyle and other members of this UYD. I enjoy my time on this board because of all of you, regardless how often you post. The best comic community anywhere. Peace, maka

Having been on Holidays meant I'd missed SDCC (or the ordering of HC # 30) completely; I don't see it being sold on Sensei's site yet.. will it be up for sale anytime soon?

Greetings
