UK Definitive Comic collection from Hachette now in Australia

[UltraMarginal]

I really hope for those who've invested so much in this already that someone else picks up the line here. assuming that they (hatchette) haven't already organised something.

I'm guessing Bisset are the local distributers.

IDW have also reprinted all of the US G1 Marvel run across 8 volumes. Some local comic shops might have copies.

There's an Australia edition, across two volumes, of the first 16 issues of the G1 comic. See this thread. Some online stores might have it.

Correct, Bissett have been distributing many (if not all) of these sort of week by week collections in Australia for years, possibly decades.

Let us know what they say, Bissett closing up shop is going to affect a lot of people in a lot of fandoms.

Food for thought: I wonder if Bissett will do some sort of clearance sale on any stock they might have sitting around, if so might be a good chance to grab some of the older series like the Marvel chronology that have already finished etc.

I just answered my own question: this is the Eaglemoss Australian site for the Star Trek Starships collection.

Dear valued customers,

It is with regret that we have to inform you that we have temporarily suspended order taking for our Australian and New Zealand shops whilst we resolve an issue with our local fulfilment partner. Sadly, our partner has gone into administration and so we’re working hard to find a solution to re-supply your collections in the very near future.

For those customers who’ve ordered and not yet received items, we will be in contact to discuss your orders over the coming days.

We would like to apologise for the inconvenience and hope to be back online shortly. If you would like to be notified when we’re live again then please add your email address to the below field.

If you have further questions please contact shop@eaglemoss-service.com

Best wishes,


The Eaglemoss Team
