Hi all. I've been scouring the internets for a copy of the Space Usagi TPB - to no avail. It's the only one I'm missing now. If anyone spots it out there please let me know.

Thanks !

I should have copies by San Diego.

Hi Morna-San,
some of the TPB (including Space Usagi) are sold out for now; but don't despair, as Sensei pointed out you may get it from him.

I'm sure some fellow Dojo member would pick one copy up for you if you can't make it to San Diego....

Dark Horse has promised to bring back all TPB in print, including Space Usagi, but they haven't published a schedule as far as I know.
So, no need to pay outrageous prices:

The first law of purchasing comics...

Dear Readers,
Thomas, the book on your link is a signed limited edition, still over priced.
Everyone please remember the first law of buying comics is to buy them directly from Sensei Sakai whenever possible.
My personality prefers small pools more than deep ocean like the San Diego Comicon.
However, I really would like to attend to say hello to our Sensei.
Best wishes to all!

It's also usually a lot cheaper getting it from me as well. I still have copies of the HC at the cover price of $60.

This cloissone pin recently sold for $20 plus s&h on ebay. I still have hundreds of them priced at $5.

Thanks everyone, I will take your advice and wait till the new ones are printed. I'm a bit afraid that I'll be tempted to buy new copies of all the TPBs, I already want to replace a couple of the early books which are printed on crappy newsprintish paper.

we treasure our cloisonee pins! I wear mine every day. We gave one to each of David Petersen's friends and I gave one to the guy - Andre - who let me buy his copy of UY 103 in Montreal. A really nice little object ... from one who is not usually into "merchandise"

You are going to love Space Usagi. I just recently read the trade and thought it was amazing.

I wonder if we will ever see Space Usagi again.

Morna-san,

I saw this post last night and checked when I got into work today, we still have a copy of the Space Usagi TP in stock. We don't have an offical online site, but if you decide you don't want to wait I would be glad to purchase and ship it to you if you'd like.

Thanks so much for the offer Foxfiree. I think I will just wait at this point. Someone has very kindly offered to send me one from SDCC. I appreciate it though!
