#71 Vol 77 Disolution [backorder] this is the same one I am waiting on too, wonder how long after the last volumes we shall have to wait .

My bank statement says they only charged me $20 on AUG 23rd, so the final volume should be on its way.

And today at the post office, the final volume was there (arrive there yesterday).
I'm going to miss picking up those plastic bag covered issues every four-ish weeks.

This topic was started this week four years ago... and it only felt like yesterday that I was tossing over if I really wanted to risk committing to a 3 year (at the time) project, that would cost $1600 (also, at that time).

Now that it is over, it is a nice collection that would have been great value compared to collecting all of those stories as TPB (with some flaws that people have noted over the years), but fell apart at the end by starting to include the new era of IDW comics, knowing that their volumes would stop halfway through that new story.

Now to sit down and start reading them all, from start to finish...

Got Issue 100 today, wish I could say I was complete now.
But alas Issues 77,and 99 are still on backorder, and they don't reply to my emails... First World Transformer Collection Problems. I may rename them Premium Hachette Toy Bot Collectables for the level of customer disservice they give haha!

[Paulbot]

Saw your post this morning before I could get to the post office as a warning, and yes 98 arrive and 99 didn't.

My tally

Last time when I had problems with my credit card details, I rang them and got through straight away which I was lucky one as the last time I tried, it took more than an hour on hold listening to the same two songs over and over. I also got issue 50 sent out again as the one I had was damaged from the postal service.

So instead of emailing, just try to ring as soon as the office is open.

Wow what a saga glad you are getting to the end, it looked for a while this may not get completed. Nice

[valkyrie_76]

Picked up vol 98 but no 99 as its on backorder apparently.

Two to go for me.
