Hi Guys, is there any chance for a reprint of these volumes? i miss volumes 6 and 7 (the softcover ones) and they seems impossible to find. It looks like other volumes are out of print too, i'd really like to complete my collection please give me hope :P

Welcome to the forum! I wasn't aware that these were out of stock, but you're right. I'd be surprised if they weren't getting another run, so hopefully they get another printing in the near future. It looks like vol. 6 is still available from Stan's online store right now.

http://stansakai.com/product/usagi-saga-volume-6/

I just looked at eBay and the vol. 6 softcover is more expensive than the hardcover!!! :shock:

It may also pay off to check your local comic shops, as mine had the full set as recently as a month or two ago (I haven't looked more recently than that). I'll stop by there on Wednesday and see if they still have them.

edit: I had time to stop by my local comic shop today and they don't have vol. 6 anymore, but do have vol. 7. If you want me to pick it up for you and ship it, it would run about $26 (after discount, taxes, and media mail shipping) if you're in the U.S.

Unfortunately i'm from Italy so buying them from US is a nightmare, shipping fees and tax duties are huge. Yojimbo now is published in Italy too, but i already had some american volumes when they started, so i'd like to complete this series if i can. Yeah the price for the few remaining ones is impressive, volume 2 seems out of stock too by the way, i really hope DH will fill the gaps, the yojimbo saga is surely the best way to jump on board.

Thanks for the welcome and the help, i appreciated it man :wink:

Could always get 6 and 7 from Amazon, actually 7 is in stock on the UK site, and 6 is in stock on the US site. And before you say, "but postage!", the one from the US is listed as under 6 GBP shipping to the UK, so can't imagine it will be hugely higher to Italy. And third party sellers are almost as good.

Maybe try Amazon.de? I sometimes have more luck with that than UK or US.

The problem may be, Italian post has such a bad reputation. I wouldn’t ship anything there without it being fully tracked and insured.

Dark Horse Comics wrote: You can see the details of which stories are in each of the Hellboy Omnibus and Short Stories (part of the Omnibus series) collections on our site - check out the Short Stories volumes in particular. Usagi Yojimbo Saga volumes will be reprinted next month, and BPRD should remain in omnibus (collected) volumes, although not planned to get the same exact treatment as the Hellboy Omnibus eds.

For any Aussies in here, Angus & Robertson has Saga 8 HC available for pre-order for $89 and includes free postage.

That's the best price I've paid for any Saga book.
