Thinking about, I think every single title I wanted were works that were already finished in Japan, 'cept for the series I'm reading ahead of, but still collecting it as it's released here and the only series I'm doing that with are Mahou Sensei Negima and Detective Conan.What's there to explain? I want to own it, but can't because they're not released here in the states, but, would if I could. If I get desperate enough, I might look them up in auctions or something, since some are out of print.
Being "old" doesn't make a difference. Just because it is old and "finished" doesn't mean the publishers don't still maintain the rights (and those rights are international, as decided by the UN a long time ago).

I am not saying it doesn't suck. I am just saying that is the way it is.
