English volume 4 + 5 group order?

[thisisvodka.livejournal.com]

I know that [when the time comes for the pre-orders to be announced] us international folk will be out of luck thanks to Rightstuf's weird and imo, skeevy policies (they want a photocopy of your credit card?? Um??), so I was wondering if there would be anyone willing to set up a group order for us?

I'm not even sure if it's allowed/would be possible (I'm wondering if Rightstuf has an order limit to prevent stuff like this maybe?), but I'm wondering if any of our American and/or Canadian friends would be willing to help us out ;w;

I'm also making this thread just to see if there's any interest in general, or if everyone else already has their "connections" XDDDD;

TL;DR: Anyone willing to set up a group order for when Rightstuf puts up pre-orders for volume 4 and 5?

I think normally there is an order limit on how many each person can order but I'd be willing to order and then ship to people who aren't in the United States or Canada.

Ah damn, I had a feeling this was the case ;___; Even so, it could still work if there was a small group of people who were willing to buy for others?? (Omg I'm starting to think of drug dealers ch r i s t).

Also I'm really grateful for your help omg ;;w;; I'm sure others who see this will be too :'D

I think that if a small group was willing to buy for the rest it would go better then anything else. Right now there is not limit to how many of the older volumes you can buy so maybe there won't be a limit? I really don't know how they're going to do it though.

:D

For volume 3 there was a limit (although I don't know how many >__> ) on pre-orders for the first printing, which had a section of pages printed in color, but if you ordered after the preorder was over all the pages were just plain black-and-white.

I'm in the US myself, so if there's also a limit on 4 and 5, I can be a secondary purchaser in case there are more people interested than available slots~

Pfffft I actually ended up re-buying volume 1 & 2 because I missed the pre-order and ended up with the black and white pages and it bothered me far more than it probably should have :P The only problem is that they're the original Tokyopop ones so they don't have the glossy cover to match my volume 3 ORZ" I just can't seem to catch a break haha @__@

But yeah, idk how many people are picky like I am but I wouldn't be surprised if, given the choice, they would want to get in on the coloured pages too XD;

[acqua-toffana.livejournal.com]

Oh no, dude, that stuff really bothers me too. D: I like for all my pretty things to match. xD

But yus! I'm totally willing to grab copies for anyone who needs them. It's share and share alike, and y'all from all over have shared lots of stuff with us~ c:

If there is a way to do a small group ordering once the pre-orders for them come out, I may be able to help out on group ordering too. However, I won't order unless I get the money from people first and people have to understand that there would also be a shipping charge once I receive them. (I think this is a logical thing but I noticed some people just don't get that part.)

But yeah, would love to help if I can. :)

Ohhhh god I noticed this a lot too and I cringe so much like, people are already doing a massive favour for others and then certain people expect shipping to be paid for them out of other people's pockets I???? It leaves me so confused, omg.

(In fact I was thinking people helping out could charge a little proxy fee or something if they wanted like idk, $2-3 per person? I mean it doesn't sound like much but if you're buying for say, 10 people, that's a neat little $20 or $30 which I think is the least we can do for taking up your time :'D)

I can help out too! :) Since I have volumes 4 and 5 in German already, I don't need the English versions so there'd be extra slots if the orders are limited. :)

[thisisvodka.livejournal.com]

Ahhh gosh, thank you! /)w(\ I'm so grateful there are so many helpful people on the comm I'm cry [single manly tear]

I'd be interested in a group order as well. I live in France and, well, I don't see myself sending a photocopy of my credit card, and they don't accept Paypal :x
So thanks to all the nice people who offered to help!

[raz2b.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, this would be great ;A;
Thanks in Advance to anyone offering to do this for us non-American and Canadian fans!

This would be wonderful, I also had no idea they were finally getting an official English translation. Hurray!

[kuroshiro1.livejournal.com]

This is something I'd be willing to help with. I always really appreciate the help people give me in ordering goods so I'd be more than happy to return the favor. I don't even know when these are supposed to be up for pre-order though.

[thisisvodka.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure either, all I know is that a few sources are saying "before the holiday season", which I'm basically talking to mean next month?? I can't see them releasing it /too/ close to Christmas, so...

I'll definitely be purchasing mine direct from rightStuf (I'm already on their books from volume 3), so if any Australians want, I'd gladly add them onto my order.

Just need to wait for the date to be announced now...

I'd love to be able to get a copy of these if someone were willing and able to do a group order.

Late comment is late, but I got my volume 3 through group order last time and I'd LOVE if someone were to repeat it for volumes 4 and 5 (non-American here)

I'm not too sure how group orders work, but I think I'd be able to help out! `~`;;
