I think Amazon.com doesn't ship games outside N-America. Have you tried Amazon.uk|fr|de though? I have good experience with . I've also bought from once or twice. Slow shipping is something we have to live with outside N-America anyway, so that doesn't make a difference.

I've bought Recettear.

Which is kinda like the japanese video game adaption of Be kind, Rewind.

No, Amazon.com do ship books and DVDs to Europe without trouble, just not games. For DVDs they give you a warning that they might not be playable in your region, but that's it. No idea why they refuse to ship games.

Felt depressed recently and decided to make a random pilgrimage up to World's Best Comics in Newport News. Nothing quite says "get the fuck over yourself, you dumb bitch" like a spending spree.

Bought:











All of which are out-of-print, and WB is like a freaking goldmine for finding out-of-print manga. I also grabbed a copy of Challengers vol. 3 to give as a gift to a friend.

Princess Jellyfish Limited Edition DVD/BD combo, with pre-order bonus (a Clara plastic cutout key fob)
I'd add an image if I could find one that shows the correct box.

This past Wednesday I bought this

But next week I am planning on buying 1-9 of Ultimate X-Men as I am starting to collect that from now on, as well as Scarlet Spider #3.


As well as when Avengers vs X-Men starts up in April, I'll be getting the few of the fights that interest me.

This is taking all of my money! D: Between this and Kid Icarus I'll be completely out of Christmas money, which I had managed to hang on to till now... I need some kind of income.

Bought The Shining by Stephen King since I figured I might as well try to get into him...also I really really want to read a scary book, like something that legitimately scares me. I haven't read anything really scary in a long time so yeah.

[noodles]

if that doesnt work out, read The Gunslinger by him. It's less scary and more amazing.

Another spending spree. Like. A major one.

From Powell's, Akadot, and Ingram. But I knocked out a huge chunk of my wishlist! So. That's nice. Some images missing because I'm lazy. Ohsnap.

From Powell's, After School Nightmare volumes 4, 6 and 7:



From work, via Ingram: Only Serious About You volume 1, Let Dai volumes 2 and 3, Kabuki volume 1:



And finally, the Akadot order I've been eyeing for a while. They sent out an email offering 15% off, so I went ahead and placed my order. Ordering from Akadot is essentially ordering directly from DMP/Diamond, so, I like that. They have really great prices, especially for backlist titles.

So I got Private Teacher volume 1, Kabuki volume 2, Right Here Right Now volume 2, Rabbit Man Tiger Man volume 2, Weekend Lovers, Time Lag, Let Dai volume 4 and Let Dai volume 6 -- for just $42, with free shipping. That's not bad at all.

I found Etrian Odyssey for $15 today!

I also Amazon'd Tales of the Abyss 3D.

Lucky.

I still have only ever seen one copy in my life, and it was the day I bought EOII and didn't know if it was any good. Online it is pretty expensive if you want the box and manual, so I've been hoping I'd find a copy in a game store. I ask in every game store I go to every time, no luck.

[Kinokokao]

And I already read it this morning at work while hiding behind a stack of books. Because I'm sneaking that way.
