Alan's issue (or at least one of them!) was that he never worked for Rebellion so never signed the contract that meant all his work was owned by them, like everyone had to back in the day.

I'm presuming all creator owned published work since then has been specially negioated.

Ok hivemind, so I'm late to the party on this and pissed off that my pre-orders aren't happening....

Managed to cancel my ZAVVI one without it costing me anything so that's something!

In terms of NERD TOYS though it looks like they are going / gone under and Jason has done a bunk with everyone's paid up money!!!!!

He isn't replying to anyone and because so of these paid for pre-orders are a year old it's unlikely the credit card or PayPal will refund, so apart from driving down there and taking a kneecap in exchange at a bit of a loss....

So, any recommendations on how to get these?

Direct or are there any decent UK vendors out there?

Cheers

Ok so I'm merrily reading through The Best of Gerry Finley-Day and get to the Dan Dare Legion story.

Get to the third episode (Spoiler) with the living sand planet and then on the next page I have Bear in a wig!!!!

Now even I though I'm fairly sure he was a better writer than that! so check the page number and it goes from 128 to 145.

Anyone else have this issue?

Don't I feel like a complete cock now....

Low and behold out of the blue with no notification the book I've been waiting for turns up... along with the Dreadnoughts books.

I'm assuming it was just released late and not a replacement book.

So apologies to all involved

Barring something really horrendous happening with the covid numbers or a horrific new variant, I should be at TB this year. Not in any official droid-y capacity, just wandering around as a punter. If you spot an ageing goth in big boots and a black hat, that'll almost certainly be me.

"If you spot an ageing goth in big boots and a black hat, that'll almost certainly be me." not sure that's going to narrow it down much with the 2K crew..... :-)

Like I said the support guys have generally been ok, just frustrated I might miss out on the Ltd Ed book as t says only 180 produced (although they always do more).

Maybe it's just where I am but to have soooo many not turn up I'd pay the extra for the tracking myself!!!!

Ok, so after about the 5th item NOT being delivered and this one being the Megatroplois LTD ED HB (so I'm unlikely to get a replacement!!!) and still NOT hearing back from Rebellion about it, I thought I'd vent on here....

What with issues of delivery and apparently it's not just me having these issues I did helpfully (I thought) suggest they add tracking signed for to the packages and considering what they charge for P&P I'm fairly sure either they could swallow the charge or at least offer it at a non-profit option....

When you do get through to the support guys they generally are ok at sorting things out, although if you order a lot of items that does tend to confuse them.

It must be costing a HUGE amount more to keep replacing book than just sorting out the postage!

Or, preferable, meet at a Con or event to drop it off in person...... then you know it actually gets to the (correct!) person.
