Those missing Volume #77 of TF: The Definitive G1 Collection

[Paulbot]

Will get back to you...

I think Im still missing issue 99

[Paulbot]

I'd be careful and have them clarify what they are saying - if they are saying issues 77 and 99 they may not mean volume 77

I received issue 99/volume 99 in February after a bit of a wait. One of the few cases where the issue and volume number are the same - there's got to be a less confusing way for them to do these partworks right!).

To complete my collection, I'm missing

#71 Vol 77 Disolution
#73 Vol 56 City on Fire
#75 Vol 70 Punishment

I think after this amount of time, they have moved on, so maybe it is time to resort to tracking down the last 1-3 issues from ebay.uk...

Either check the main listings for new additions,

Or, check out these two listings that have entire collections listed as individual volumes, and select the ones you need.

This one has 2 copies of 77 Disolution left, (expensive) and a lot of the later volumes.

This one has some different volumes as well (cheaper).

Both of them will post to Australia (about the same amount), but factor in shipping too.

The website has removed all books and part from a footer link basically hidden their webpage for the series... they are done.

I did an eBay search for my missing issues and found them but it was going to cost over $300 (a third of that cost just in shipping) and it’s for content I’m pretty sure I already have in other printed formats.

Just bugs me that the 100 volume series is incomplete - and I’ve learnt a lesson to never collect a part works again. It’s also a shame that the 100 volumes goes some way into the current IDW reboot which now has an ending - four or five more volumes could have completed it?

Yes I refuse to pay five times the amount of the other volumes, especially when I have the paperbacks already. It is frustrating however to have an incomplete set when the rest of the set came to $1980, making it perhaps my biggest TF investment (even more than my two Unicron's combined!) not counting the Transformatorium Shed itself.

I will be shooting off at least one or two more emails in a month, though admittedly the likelihood of success is minimal. If people wish to join in a group email - all good. If not, no dramas.
