17 days!

Sounds spot on to me, they've always arrived in exactly a fortnight or a little less for me.

thanks it does, Ive never ordered for myself from them so Im trying to gauge from other members experience. All my previous repro stickers were ordered for me , thanks to kup since at those times I didnt have Paypal

That could be taken as a compliment or an insult, LOL!

Eep!

Well judging by the fact that it came from Hursti it's not possible to be the latter...

Hihi!

This is true, my apologies for being a cheeky monkey.

If you mean the current IDW material - Yeah, they collect it in trade. IDW really has an emphasis on collected editions, so everything gets collected, usually multiple times. If you're after info on the IDW stuff, I'm more than happy to help Or ask Arcee. I think she passed the crash course.

Indeed, Arcee has been quite a big help on the subject; the current 'new' Ongoing's is indeed what I was referring to though.

If you mean the Marvel stuff - IDW has sorta done it (had to skip the Marvel issues containing marvel characters) and are doing them again (with those issues re-inserted) but the colouring is.....well, it's not for everyone. Some people strongly prefer the Titan tpbs. I personally have both, and I like the matte paper on IDW better, but the colour reproduction on Titan more, so I don't really know how that balances out? At the moment, I'm giving the IDW reprints a fair go, and reading the first volume of US (They're also doing the UK material in Classics too. Some stuff Titan never did, which is great).

Checkout my collection here man (3rd last pic), I think you'll be proud ; Have you got the B&W Titan Reprints? - It's my understanding they collect the the very tail-end of the UK stuff - worth obtaining in your opinion?

I can't wait for Earthforce at full size, colour be damned. (Hopefully they'll leave them black and white, but who knows. That's a way off, anyway).

Colour is great, but so can B&W and especially if the line-art is good.

I think the lesson here is never open them. Ignorance is bliss

No! - Don't do it!

Second time in two days I've seen Aussie collectors complaining about Grapple and co (Strafe, Lugnut, etc), on different boards.

That's sad to hear, I was extremely lucky with my own; both in acquistion (Courtesy of Zippo ) and in production quality.

You might find the people complaining don't have access to Toyworlds (and the equivalents). I have this feeling that NSW doesn't have any.

You're spot on there man, we have very few indeed.

I had IDW trades of Bumblebee, Drift, Ironhide, Volume 4: Heart of Darkness, and Volume 5: Chaos Theory delivered from the Book Depository.
Still waiting on Volume 2 and 3 to arrive (they were sent 2 days later), while I have 6 and 7 on pre order.

Damn!
A very nice narrative haul there GP, congrats!

Geez since you want photos

Bought a few items at Mandarake yesterday:



Incomplete Micromaster base C-330 (missing three micromasters and two ramps). Not worried about the micromasters as I should have some spares at the ramps shouldnt be hard to find but everything else is there.

Go-Shooter rings MOSC - a crease on the top of it but thats it. Pretty cheap compared to ebay

The 'Return of Comvoy' Famicon game was bought in HK but I forgot to take a pic of it. Also Parallax TFX-05 was bought in HK too.

The two books Ghost in the Shell SAC visual book - bought the other books after this (SAC2 and SSS) but missed out on the first one as I took my time buying them.

Queens Blade Perfect Visual hardcover book - bought it because I could

Heh, I remember seeing those Master Braces at Mandarake... had a look, saw the price, then walked away.

Btw, feel free to post any meet pics here if you like (or make your own separate thread if you like, but I don't mind if you hijack the existing Osaka meet thread ) -- always love to see meet piccies

Nice stuff there, man. Great collection all round!

But............I HAVE to say it. I see Lion Voltron, but no Vehicle Voltron. That's just plain unacceptable. :P

Nice collection of the Titan stuff.

The thing to keep in mind for the Earthforce material Titan collected, is that it's NOT at normal tpb size. It's at 'digest' size, so a little bit smaller than your average manga, dimension-wise.

Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing, as the art isn't that detailed, it was originally in black and white anyway, and the lettering isn't that dense, so it's all still easy to see and read.

It is a tad annoying to read, as the paperstock is VERY thick. It's almost card-like. Once you get used to that, they're fine though.

The material itself (which I assume you've read anyway) is pretty good, so I think they're worth it, especially considering that IDW will take at least 2 years to get to it, if sales hold on UK Classics (absolute guesstimate on my part, but surely at least 18 months?)

I wouldn't pay too much for them, but for now, I reckon they're worthwhile.
