  1. The Space Science Fiction is not mine The Ghostly Weird is mine
  2. Aw man, thats just great, as a completist, you are killing me
  3. I have had all of the above comics that you compare since I was a kid and I have to say, I didnt notice any of this You are way more observant than me
  4. Battle Cry #1 British reprint followed by Aussie Reprint thats exactly the same but different I still need the original US Battle Cry #18, I hate being a completist sometimes
  5. This thread certainly put a smile on my face last nice, if someone had told me there was a Fly club, I would have known 100% it was you
  6. Sweet. Back in the days before ebay and paypal, I used to buy from the US all the time. I used to go to the travel agent and change my pounds into dollars and send the dollars in a greeting card to disguise it, did this for years and always arrived safely. I still have a random drawer with about 100 dollars in as sometimes you would get the books with a discount and they would send dollars back , they are not legal tender here so just accumulated in the drawer and I never got around to changing them over.
  7. I have only ever come across 2 issues of Rex in the wild here in the UK, in fifty years. #24 & #38 Certainly a tough title to collect and all seem pretty scarce to me Yours is definitely nicer than mine. 6.5 at least
  8. Yeah, normally from the US is 5 -10 days, however, I have had stuff from the US in as little as 3 days, worst was when covid was on and the tracking showed my package in Japan Then after a few months it showed up out of the blue in perfect nick
  9. There is no duty but it doesnt stop Border force seizing maybe 1 in 5 of everything I have coming in, even though the commodity code is clearly written. I always claim and get a refund but before you even know its seized, Parcel Force bail it out and you have to pay their fees under ransom of they will return it to sender and you have just paid 100 quid to ship it, so have no choice but to pay them and then claim, then they can charge up to about 20 quid for their service, you can claim that back too but its a lengthy process, so far so good this year, but I havent been buying that much. They also always blame the sender, I usually get a pic of the package before sent and there is nothing at all wrong with it. If anyone has their package seized, send me a PM and I will give you info on what to do. Notice how there is no telephone number, email address or public counter for Border Force. I am sure that some people just pay it and its going straight in someones pocket as fiddle. F$@cking Bastiches!!!!
  10. Yep, a trimmed copy is the only affordable way for some of us and tbh, for me I would rather have something lovely and presentable, than something hanging to bits for the same price. Each to their own though, its all good and whatever scratches the itch
  11. Bought a Cents copy to go with my Pence copy, went to put it away and found 2 cents copies already there
