For figures:
http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/
http://www.hlj.com/
http://www.otacute.com/
Just check which one has the best prices and shipping options for you.
For manga, I can't really help you since I buy all my stuff locally, but do you want English or Japanese language manga?

English of course ;D oh and speaking of English manga, the company that published 20th century boys did a great job in sort of not americanize (is that a word?) it, you read from right to left and you still find the -chan and -san there, I got my Akira collection and they totally bruitilized it, still good though.

When ordering online, I generally get manga from Amazon; where are you located?

not sure why is that relevant but I don't think I'll find what I want from Amazon, I'm currently looking for "Monster" 18 volumes and "20th Century Boys" 24 volumes, and if it possible to buy all the volumes in one package or something not sure how to say it.

I'm in Saudi Arabia BTW.

Well, you have a problem then - 20th Century Boys is only up to 10 volumes in English, so good luck finding it.

Ummm, no?
It's an official release, it's just not finished yet. It's still ongoing.

Do you mean the actual release of the manga or the translation?
'cause the Manga finished in like, '07 or something, if they didnt finished it yet I'm expecting a long wait here  :(

that right there.
Any time I am in the mood to pay for my anime / manga, I go there.
Its pretty cheap (especially when you buy used, I got like 20 manga volumes for less then $1 a piece)
They also have a nice selection.
