[FS] FYI - Usagi Saga 4 Hardcover only $34 on Amazon!!

[Redrumh2o]

Just saw this and picked it up. So far I've picked up each hardcover on Amazon for under $40. Once they get under $40 they don't last too long....just thought i'd give people the heads up! The retail is like $80 for these

Now DH are printing more, the demand isn't there and everyone can get a copy thankfully. Unlike the first one which was underprinted.

Nice. I've been getting the paperbacks, only because I'll probably only read them once every ten years, but the paperbacks have weak bindings. Wish I'd been paying more attention to the hardcover prices--$33 is a great price.

Yeah, I missed out on #1.......now my OCD will drive me crazy looking at them on my bookshelf

Man these things are absolutely great. For those who might not have read them, I can not recommend them enough! I actually got my buddy a copy of number one for Christmas and he was super excited to dig in to Usagi. Stan Sakai is maybe the most masterful storyteller on planet earth today. It would be awesome if he could write an episode of the show! His work is very cinematic anyway. He will have multiple panels to start a story before there is any dialogue at all and it just creates a great immersive sense of atmosphere. I think his work would translate very nicely to television. If no one has ever seen this it is a short claymated video some fans done in honor of Usagi. It is really well done considering the shoestring budget they no doubt had.

That video? The makers have the legal approval (from Stan), hopefully the budget and soon the script to make a proper length Usagi stop motion film.

Yep I read that they have his blessing. I totally agree with you. It's gonna be awesome.

$56 is still a steal though honestly.

Indeed. My comic store usually sells them to me for (US$ RRP / 2) in GBP, so about 40 quid. Because I've been a long time customer now and got lots of things from them, they've tended to sell the collected books to me at their cost price with no markup!

I recently just started reading UY.... So far I love it. I have the paperback "special collection" boxed set that precedes the newly released Saga collections...... So that will pretty much be everything in order correct?? There's something so simple about it that makes me happy when I read it..... It's hard to explain

Yes, the Fantagraphics collection covers books 1-7, and Saga #1 starts at book 8. Assuming things continue as is, DH will get up to Saga #7 and that will be everything pretty much to date (#7 will cover books 26-28, and 29 is the latest).

All that's missing are side books such as Space Usagi, Yokai, Senso and so on.

Glad to welcome you on board as a new Usagi fan
