I'd be curious to see scans of the third movie issue if somebody ends up buying these. I've seen this set before on Yahoo! Japan Auctions and it looks like shipping will cost you pretty heavily. Still, you do get the Super Turtles #1 issue included (shameless plug for DrSpengler's translation project).

I recently picked up an extra set of TMNT manga in Chinese. I'm looking to sell them off, though I'm reluctant to mess with international shipping at this point.

If you ever change your mind, I'd be happy to buy those manga from you.

Yeah, you'd be the first one to whom I'd offer them, since you've done me so many favors in the way of scans over the years. I'm just not sure I want to bother with international shipping rates and the hassle if I can find some ready American buyers.

Sure thing, the Chinese covers are pretty much rehashes of the Japanese originals, although sometimes the cool Chinese TMNT logo obscures the art.

That's really hard to say with items so rare as these books. It's very hard to find these things outside of Japan. I paid $15 a piece for the first two manga volumes I bought (thanks, Rose!). It looks like the seller wants $11.25 a piece for each one. The shipping rate from Japan sounds about right, since I paid about $20 in shipping for one issue a few months back (Air Mail, I think). I personally don't like to drop a ton of money on stuff that's being shipped from an overseas country because I have less confidence it will arrive, and if there is a problem I figure I'll have a harder time getting it resolved due to the language barrier.

I guess it's all up to how much you want these things.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i'm thinking i'll try to talk him/her down some on the price maybe. and yeah i do want them badly. as i said i doubt i'll ever have this kind opportunity again

[TheCanadiandrome]

well i've done it! i've got some Manga on the way! all i've got to do is pay, but i made arrangements to pay Friday.

the rest of the Manga out there is obviously going to be a challenge to find, as i've checked different ebay sites with zero results

Congrats on your purchase! Hope they arrive safe and sound.

[oldmanwinters]

I hope you get it all worked out with these books. Just tell me you didn't mortgage your house for 'em!

There's no plans currently to remove these manga scanlations from your site, is there DrSpengler? I still haven't gone back and read them yet, is why I ask.

Nah, my translations are staying up until I get a bitchsmack from Viacom's lawyers or something like that.

Even then, if that happens, I'll keep them saved to my harddrive so you can always PM me and I can e-mail em to you if worse comes to worse.

I'll try and get to the last quarter of Super Mutant Turtles Vol. 1 this weekend. After that, it might be a little while before I get to Vol. 2. Juding by the stats function on my blogger dashboard, NO ONE reads the things. My comic revies and especially my articles tend to get the most pagehits so I figure that's what the majority of my readers want to see.

The manga is more or less a personal project, considering the lack of interest. I intend to get the final two volumes done, though, but probably some time next year. I'll have Vol. 1 completed before the end of 2010, though. Promise.
