2000 AD - The Ultimate Collection

Yeah that covers volume looks amazing and I don't recall it being mentioned anywhere previously.

Could it be one of the missing volumes?
I seem to recall there were 1-2 unknowns left in the list.

Well, that's fairly annoying if that's for premium subs only, given that they never mentioned that on the website. I'd have gone for the premium subscription otherwise.

If you signed up for the figures, you're a premium subscriber? Because I haven't seen these...

Me too. I'll be quite cross. Hoping to upgrade my subscription.

The guy who posted it wrote for 2000AD in the 90s so I'm guessing he a) got some stuff in advance and b) publicised something he shouldn't.

Has anyone tried asking on the official 2000ad facebook page about the cover slips? I would, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

If memory serves, Steve White is a partworks editor at Hachette! He was manning the stand at the 40th birthday bash last February, and mentioned the Ultimate Collection looked likely.

Yep, I have. Will let you know.

Yeah not fussed on the statutes (tho they look very nice) but would upgrade for the covers books. All intel appreciated..

Happy I decided to go premium from the start now.
Haven't received my first figure yet, it's on the way, but over £100 is mental.

If the covers books are only going to be available to premium subscribers then that's really annoying as I'm another who would have gone premium for them.

Doesn't look like it's possible to upgrade to a premium sub once you're past issue 5 either

There's going to be a few grumpy subscribers if that's the case. And Hachette have done themselves out of a few extra £s by not publicising these upfront, I'd certainly have considered a premium sub if I'd known it included extra books.

'Special subs gifts'. Why not all subscribers, a freebie? (Looks a fairly thin volume).
While subscribing means dodgy/owned volumes, excessive time and storage and toy figures, keep on cherry-picking :-)
