Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[kup]

I prefer trade paperbacks as opposed to single issue comic books (It's some wierd fetish but I just love how they look all standing next to each other in my book shelf)What is the best website to buy transformers tradepaperback comics from? I've had a bit of a hunt around and can't find a decent site.

I also prefer the TPB not so much for its shelf value but because you get to read the story all in one go without braking pace. However this is becoming a bit of a hassle as many fans have access to the individual issues (i don't, would need to mail order), therefore read the stories months before I do and tend to comment or mention things about it in the assumption that everyone else has read it too, inadvertently spoiling it for me

Amazon is your best bet. If you want to stay in Australia, Classic comics are online at eBay: pino65

They're a brick and mortars store in Melbourne. I get all my comics from there. If they dont have it in store you can always ask them to order it in. Just message them or call them. They offer the best retail prices in Australia I've found.

Yeah that too Kup. I prefer to sit down and read the story in one sitting.

Thanks STL I'll give them a try

I order the TPBs from Amazon, I already have the second Spotlight TPB and the BW: The Ascending TPB on its way.

Sadly, mail ordering it from within Aus still costs like $15+ per normal issue with shipping which adds up to a whooping $90-$100 for a complete volume while the TPB only costs like $25!

If I worked in the city or some place where they sell the comics retail, I would pick them up but since I have no access to such places, I have to go with the TPB as the best option.

Are any of these guys worth it ? http://search.stores.ebay.com/KSGJ03...001372QQsofpZ0

I need pretenders!

Hunt around on ebay Benben, I picked up 2 boxed U.S Pretenders for $55.00 each. There isn't any real difference between the U.S and Japanese versions except packaging and paperwork, the Pretenders themselves I believe are identical.

I don't know if this will help but click on toys in the toolbar across the top. They have scans to instructions and catalogues.

benben, it's not that we or most of us don't reply to your queries.
we need time to find stuff too and we aren't "superhumans" with brains to answer all your questions

majority of us are not as knowledgeable and need time to absorb the info first too before answering you. so be patient, forgive our lack of response at times and if you don't get replies i.e. for a week, then you can start "shouting" at us for one...
