I've been looking for this manga for a long time now. Does anybody know where I could buy the whole collection for a decent price? I tried in many stores, but there's always some volume missing. Amazon has it, but it charges too much for shipping. Shipping is higher than actual cost of the items :P

It's pretty difficult to find the collection especially since it seems unavailable or out-of-print. I tried looking online but I had no luck, especially since I don't really find English-translated ones online (you are looking for the English-translated ones, right?)

I found this site that is selling it individually but not the Perfect Collection box set. The link is Discount Anime DVD (http://www.discountanimedvd.com/search_results.asp) and they ship internationally although I don't know their rates. It seems the price is actually decent since other places I found were selling it for $9.95 or $7.69. I have never bought from them before so I'm not sure how their service is.

Then I tried eBay and there were some people selling the books as a lot and for really cheap...but they're not new but if you don't mind, I would say eBay is a good place for the low price.

I'm sorry, I'm probably not very helpful here. :heh:

Be Warned, the Perfect Collection version reads in the Western direction whereas the newer, 7 Volume Editor's choice versions are truer to the originals. I've never known Amazon to be too costly on Shipping. Can't you bundle all 7 together and get Super Saver Delivery?

Looking forward to the release of The Watercolour Impressions (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nausica-Valley-Wind-Watercolor-Impressions/dp/1421514990/ref=sr_1_36/026-8622800-1703622?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1185811604&sr=8-36) too

I think that's only available if you're buying from an Amazon store that ships from your own country. If you buy from Amazon.co.uk and you're not UK resident, you don't get Super Saver Delivery. The same goes for all other Amazon sites. I often have the same problem as Hylas. Amazon charges shipping costs for every single item you add to your order. To that total you still have to add VAT. I had to give up buying books from Amazon, unless I only want to buy one or two books and I get them at very low price from Amazon's marketplace sellers. I'm not sure, but maybe Swiss buyers as Hylas have the same problems.
