Tips for Collectors
- Pre-order limited or collector’s editions early — they often sell out fast.
- Compare digital vs print prices: publishers frequently discount digital volumes on launch day.
- Watch for regional exclusives that might affect which editions include extras like artbooks, OBI strips, or remastered audio.
