Sailor Moon gets a box set!!
Before continuing on with more New York Comic Con related posts(such as some interviews with cosplayers and my hands-on time with Assassin’s Creed Liberation) I wanted to talk about the new box set slated for release just in time for the holidays on November 20th. On the 13th, Kodansha announced the release of a very nice box set containing volumes 1-6. It will contain stickers and the mangas. This is fantastic for a gift or as a quick way to snap up the first 6 books for those of you who haven’t. Early birds - you’re out of luck. When asked if they would release the box alone for those who have the first volumes the response was a simple “no.” Dallas Middaugh made sure to follow up with a reasonable explanation - he mentioned that books go through several print runs and so those of us who have volumes 1-6 may have sets of books from different runs. The content of a book from 1st print to 2nd print will be identical; however, the paper used may be slightly different, or the trim size may be off by a hair. What this means for those of us who would like this cute box for our books is this: the books simply would not fit in the box because they are not all from the print run that this box was designed to cover.
I’m sure plenty of you will be buying this just as a collectors item to keep in the shrink wrap - right?
I’ll be back soon with interviews with folks just like you from NYCC and my opinions on Asssassin’s Creed: Liberations.
You can pre-order this box set on Amazon for a fantastic price of $39.90. That’s 39% off of the list price of $65.94.
