DPA box set releasing October 16

[immewnity]

Most kids spend their days at school, but not Hareta. Raised in the wild by Pokémon, he can climb as high as an Aipom, swim as fast as a Magikarp, and even eat bark like a Bidoof! Contains all 8 volumes of the Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl Adventure! series and a collectible poster!

 

[Ino-Chan]

On my birthday?

Buying. Buying so hard.

 

[Wes118]

i already have most of them so i dont think im going to get it.
but still it is a good series if u like pokemon manga

 

[Eitarou]

Old news! Kidding.

Er, I mean: Yay, box set.

I'd get it, but I already have the books.

Although...Minun on the packaging? Seriously? It was already borderline inappropiate to have it be Hareta's pokemon in the last battle rather than Empoleon, but now it's on the package? Wow.

Any idea what the poster is? I wonder if it'll be the much lauded cover to volume 8.

No idea whatsoever. Here's everything I got via Diamond Distribution:

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Huh, I was thinking it would be about 45 USD, since box sets usually have a distinct markdown.

 

[immewnity]

Okay, Amazon's showing different box art:

However, Diamond's was an actual product image... urggh.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Well, it's possible that they're both official, given that that's part of the front cover of volume 1 and the previous picture shows part of the front cover of volume 8, and we can't see the other side of the box.

 

[SolgaleoGX]

Would buy..but I have most of them. DX

 

[Hidden Mew]

That's pretty cool and it does show that the volumes are selling if they're willing to re-release the series in a box set. I'm not going to get it since I already have all of the volumes. I wouldn't mind just getting the box itself as a way to hold all of the volumes I already have in a cooler/nicer way than just on my bookshelf. I'm not a big fan with having Minun on the backcover, especially when it kind of felt forced to give Hareta a new Pokemon that late in the series and I would have liked it if he had used his main team during the final battle, or Empoleon given their relationship.

 

[matt0044]

I'd buy it if I didn't have every volume already. Maybe some lucky guy other than me will be able to get it. I wish him luck.

 

[Joshawott]

I haven't got a single volume of DPA.

This however, will go on my list.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

You will not regret it for a moment.

 

[Ein]

ARGH! I've already got half the series. As much as I'd love to, I just can't justify getting the box set. ;_;

 

[winstein]

This series is pretty interesting from what I read (compared to Special's version), so if I can, I am considering getting it.

That's it for now.

 

[Miar]

If I can find it on shelves and have the, I'll pick it up.

I had the first two books (lost them), and I think it's the second best Pokémon manga after Adventures (which I can't get anywhere for anything)

 

[Joey]

Count me in as another who think this is awesome and would buy it if I didn't already own the whole series.

 

[ForeignDude]

Oh that looks awesome. I havn't read anything from this series so I'm definitely looking forward to it now.
