Kelvinchang99 was asking me about buying some graphic novels this evening - I sent him some info and now I think about it, a lot of Ozformers might be interested. When buying graphic novels, I generally go to http://www.bookdepository.co.uk. It's a bookshop in the UK with free delivery anywhere in the world, so most of the graphic novels come to about 10 pounds each after shipping ($20AU). Free shipping also means no need for group orders and the graphic novels come straight to your own door. Tonight, for example, I bought the Allspark Animated Almanac for £10.97 shipped (still basically $20AU.) Here are a bunch of other graphic novels that I recommended to Kelvin and any of these are also approximately $20 each shipped:

Free shipping anywhere in the world? Sounds too good to be true!
Wow that's a good deal.

What's the allspark almanac though? The description was sparse.

Awesome, I'm going to have a look through this site thoroughly after work tonight.

I wonder exactly what is this loophole in the postal system that allows English companies to ship things for free? Someone explained it to me a while back but I forgot how it works. It's great that we are so steady against the Pound these days, not like the 90's when anything in Pounds cost a fortune.

Some of their prices are well below Amazon when discounted, but there's others that costs way more than Amazon. Hmm... mix and match..

I ordered six TFs books, but only got two (so far). They were each packaged individually.
If the rest do show up, it will indeed be a big saving. One of the US comic online stores used to have free shipping, which I miss - so having this site doing the same is very welcome.

Fellows can someone confirm for me that this contains the final issues of the G2 comic ?

Anyone want to order it for me?

thanks

Yeah - don't worry too much about the postage at this point. I've been buying books from them for a long time, and they always send everything individually no matter how much you order (and thus the packages often show up at our end in a staggered fashion.)

Also - with regard to my previous post - note that I started this thread just after I'd ordered the Allspark Almanac, which I only received two days ago. So there's still plenty of time for people's post to arrive.

Yes, Rage In Heaven is the final G2 trade paperback. It's out of stock though, but you can get the beautiful hardback version for $34AU shipped: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/browse/book/isbn/9781840235777?utm_campaign=booko&utm_medium=api&utm_source=AU&utm_content=Transformers&utm_term=9781840235777

That website is EVIL! It just made me click and bought the TF Animated Animaniac and then it made me sign up as a member so I can buy again easily the next time! :o

Seriously man. What do you have against my money? That site is gold.

Check this for an example:

Sin City Collection (http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9781593074210/Sin-City) 88 pounds = $158 AUD roughly

Cheaper on TFAW (which is a good site) $135 US about $145.50 AUD.
But their shipping for it is $165 US!!! (They usually have reasonable shipping costs if you go the slow option but it is not available for this item - maybe because of the weight?)

Anyway, that's too good to pass up and I've been meaning to grab the Frank Miller books for quite some time now. And then there's the Batman books too... at least I'm already up to date on Transformers.

I'm not after the Sin City collection, but seeing that made me thinking about searching for the Complete Far Side. And they have that for the same price and with free shipping it's very hard to resist.

I've got to think what other books I'm after and look more closely at that site while the Aussie dollar is high against the pound.

Great Skyshadow. I bought a heap of novels from them, each individually packaged. Took around 3 weeks to arrive but hey, free shipping. !!! cant complain about that. All books arrived together and all in order. Thanks Skyshadow.

Just an update - there's now also www.bookdepository.com, which somethimes has even better prices than bookdepository.co.uk owing to our relative strength against the $US. For example, Transformers Exodus:

$34.78AU http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9780345519856/Transformers

$22.78AU http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9780345519856/Transformers
