I don't know how to answer Fatter Dinosaur's questions, so I'll just answer SG.
Unfortunately I work part time minimum wage, so in the end I had to take them off my wishlist. I'm poor at managing money as it is, and I had a big backlog to begin with... And I still do.
That doesn't mean I'm not interested in getting into them and even buying them in the future though, believe me. For one thing, I'm sick of the Manga Market and it's poor writing these days (apart from One Piece), so Comics will be a good substitute. Comics are really an adult hobby anyway.
