Am I the only one that thought 'The Samaritan' kind of pushed the boundary of revealing Dredd's face too far? He's been heavily bandaged before, but in this his right eye was completely uncovered. You could more or less extrapolate his whole face.

I into the forums to see what other's were thinking and not one person even mentioned it. Heh.

I waited a year for the second version, pre-ordered as soon as it went up on the shop last November - by the end of January I hadn't received anything, chased it up with support who promised another would be sent - still nothing received.

Today I decided to cut my losses and buy another, only to find it is now out of stock. Aaaarrrgggh!

This is a long shot but does anyone have a spare they are willing to sell? I only wanted one :(

Hi all, I started a prog/meg subscription from prog 1900 and am coming up to the start of my third year (I will definitely be renewing). I'm subscribing from Japan (no, I've never met Floyd Kermode) so postage is not insignificant, but for me it's worth it to have that regular link to the UK to look forward to each week.

Trouble is, sometimes the world's mail carriers let me down and lose my progs. Not often - actually twice for sure, potentially three times as I haven't received the latest prog 1985 yet. Each time I waited around a month to allow for postal delays, then put in a request to Rebellion to have a replacement copy sent out. Which they did both times, without any fuss.

I really hate that wait though, with unread progs building up - and I also feel a bit guilty asking for a new copy as it's not really Rebellion's fault.

As I mentioned, prog 1985 didn't arrive when expected, so I'm half expecting to soon be in the same situation again. I'm wondering if this time I should just place an order and buy the missing prog to get it ASAP, and avoid feelings of guilt. But, paying postage again :/

I could go digital, but a little part of my soul would die if I took that route.

What would you do?

I would agree, if not for the fact that Doctor Who got a lot of support from them just recently - which is also pretty niche and UK specific (I know thats arguable, but hey... Judge Dredd is just as international as the Doctor)

So, I know Rebellion have tried to get a collaboration going in the past and the man from Lego has always said no - and I know that many of the Ideas project submissions get turned down for subject matter reasons (death/war/religion/supernatural stuff all being taboo for Lego)... but the latest announcements for Lego Dimensions seem to show that they are increasingly blurring the boundaries and also catering far more directly for adult fans.

Look at what we're getting: the A-team (total glorification of guns and war), Beetlejuice (grotesque dead people), Gremlins (when I was a kid I considered that to be a horror movie!)... E.T. nd the Goonies (very unlikely to appeal to modern children) - never mind the long running affiliation with Star Wars (the clue is in the title).

If anyone from Rebellion is reading, wouldn't it be worth trying again in the light of their apparent leniency for Dimensions?

Can you imagine? Judge Dredd level pack with Lawmaster and Manta mini-build! Judge Death and Judge Fear team pack! Rogue Trooper fun pack! The possibilities are huge. If there can be a DC comics world why not a 2000AD one?

Well, it's back on the store - but it's the initial design again. So they haven't sold the first 500 yet? Or is this an error in the shop listing?

Getting a bit frustrated with checking the shop every week to see if the next design has been put on sale - the wording on the original made it sound like it would be a smooth transition to the next one once the initial design sold out.

I'm starting to think they aren't going to sell them anymore. Which is irritating, as I only bought one.

Obviously I am in for buying more, but if I had one complaint it's that the spine is too wide for the maximum number of progs it can hold. I'd prefer them to be a little compressed between the covers as it sits on the bookshelf, rather than hanging kind of loose as they do. There's like an inch or two of extra width there.
