Rurouni Kenshin - 2 Questions

[Spoofer]

I'm a bit late in picking this series up, 2 questions:

1) Was the color fold-out poster that was included in the 28th volume limited to the first printing? If so, would eBay or Amazon Marketplace be my best bet in finding a copy online? (Viz's product description page (http://www.viz.com/products/products.php?product_id=5936) mentions the poster but not that it's limited)

2) Since the only way to get the English version of Yahiko no Sakabatou is in the Sept 2006 edition of Shonen Jump (#45), I was wondering where I could find this as well, preferably new. I checked the SJ website for back issues, but they didn't have #45. Are there any other sites which sell individual SJ issues that might still have it in stock? (other than eBay or Amazon)

Thanks.

I wouldn't be surprised if the poster was limited to the first printing. Try your local bookstore first.

A used bookstore that accepts magazines is a great place to look for old issues of Shonen Jump. We've got a used bookstore chain, Bookmans, that has quite a lot of them. You might want to try comicbook stores or even eBay. It sounds like though your best bet is buying a good used condition one.

I believe it was an LE. Your best bet is to check out the book stores. If the book contains the poster, then the book will be shrink wrapped and marked with a sticker.

Your best bet is to check out the used book stores or get a subscription to Shonen Jump and become a member of the "Sub Club". Sub Club members have access to online manga and I believe Yahiko no Sakabatou is one of them.
