Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone bought the Data Collection book (http://www.pso-world.com/article.php?sid=1682) yet? I'm planning on buying it but not sure if I should take the Ebay route or Amazon?
What do you guys recommend? I buy a lot of stuff on Ebay, however a lot of art books are not legit... also no one is using the official title of the book nor the ISBN number to prove if it's the book in their descriptions..grrr! With Amazon.com I can't find the book via ISBN #...did anyone buy through the Japanese Amazon website? Thanks a lot of reading http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Thanks Dhylec, looks like people are buying off of Amazon

I'll buy it if there is a centerfold of Karen. I'd even pay for express shipping if she's hugging her sister.

Wow, Wtf thats pathetic..???

Being an art book junkie, I want it sooooooo bad, but I really don't wanna shell out the $50+ that it seems to go for on Ebay like I did for the PSO art book.

...My money to burn for this month already went towards my Alford Tylor figurine...

I have bought one from the ebay seller otaku.com (also has a website there). Hopefully it'll be Ok. In any case, paypal has my back. I'll post how it turned out (altohugh the price was pretty steep).
Couldn't wait for HLJ anymore...

You can order it through the Japan Centre bookshop in London if you need a UK source. I got this and the PSU bible from them http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Oh of course, youd rather it was Leo "nano-blasting" Tonnio, am I right?

Thanks everyone! I think I'll go with SabZero's suggestion because a while back that's where I bought the other PSO art book http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Forgot all about that site!

[Xeph0n]

I got the artbook from otaku.com

Its not so bad, but it feels incomplete. Not nearly as in depth on the areas as the pso one, and the psobb book is quite short.

[kittytreats]

Xeph0n, just bought it there XD $35.95 for it... that's actually less than what I paid for the first PSO book o_O; Yeah I read on a few sites and here that it's kinda lacking. I want it for the Episode 3 art! I wonder if a book exists with just the comic art that was displayed in E3!?

[SabZero]

Ok, my book arrived today from otaku.com.
It is packages with shrink wrap (no question that it's brand new).
The two books come in a thin plastic sleeve (good for preservation).
It is a bit thin for the price. The two together are about the thickness of the book of hunters, but the pages might be thinner.

edit: paging through it and absolutely loving it!!

I got mine today! Kinda small but it's not bad.. now if only I could read Japanese *LOL* I like seeing the familiar characters and the added comic in the Blue Burst book is cool. The character designs for PSU is pretty neat too with all the different variations.

Nice! Been busy with other things, I can't get this book right away. But, I'll get mine soon enough. ;]
