got the 94 and 95 if that's any use.

Was Slaine the King done in that format too?  Mr. Mayor?

Yes.  Troutmark in Cardiff had a copy recently.

This is becoming a bit of a trend and long may it continue.  The recent FCBD auction currently has pride of place in my collection.

I would make one suggestion that would make it a nicer souvenir:  include copies of the photos of the droids at the signing as an insert.  It would have been nice to have had that included.  In fact I would still make a charity donation if the photos of the FCBD signing were available.

Looks like the Sex Olympics stuff might be in there.

Would quite like to see the last two parts of Colin Wilson's Into the Shadow of the Sun trilogy.  I know the first one wasn't brilliant story wise, but Mr Wilson's art ... 

but the new start and the fuckery with Comixology/ Amazon  ....

I have to admit I've found the main gripe against the Amazon merger a little difficult to gel with as I always bought through the website paying by paypal anyway.  I don't recall ever actually using the app as it always had the UK prices.  I know it was only a minor savings (about 10p a go really) but they added up over time.

AOW was probably one of the better story lines for a while.  Looking forward to the next omnibus edition to read it all in one go.

Succumbed at the weekend and splurged.  It's nice enough and the paper does make a difference to the quality.  I only picked up the Bolland recoloured Block War variant cover which is reprinted inside so I had only seen the first half of the Block War reprints.

Overall the colour works well.  The Dillon and Bolland episodes were nicely done, better I thought than the Ron Smith parts.  The Ezquerra artwork seemed the best.  Personal opinion but this was where it really seemed to come alive. 

It is the same size as the Rebellion Zenith and Nemesis hardbacks in terms of height but a little wider, not the same size as the IDW artist editions, so there is a bit of spare space on the page.  Bit of a shame.  The cover is the same as the newsstand issue 1.  Again a shame.  Of all the artwork they could have chosen.  Even commissioning either Bolland or Ezquerra to do a special.

The cover section reprints the IDW covers and the original tooth covers.  The tooth covers haven't been treated at all and look faded.  Bit of a shame there as well.  Another gripe is a lack of an introduction.  Whatever else you want to say for Titan, one thing they did well was give a bit of background / interest to each edition.  Considering the social and political landscape of the time it would have been a nice touch.

Is it worth the full cover price?  Not sure.  It is a real mixed bag.  Whether corners have been cut to save on the recolouring cost I don't know.  If I was scoring I would have to give it 6 /10.

Just tried now, no problem.  But that postage .... ouch! 

I know I've mentioned this before but there does not seem to be much love for subscribers on this.

not sure why beefing bovines should prompt sale ....

And received today.  Ta verra much.  Nice little souvenir and glad the funds are going to good home.  Makes up for the copy I ordered from Disposable Heroes that never showed up in spades.

... and looking forward to it too. 

sorry, how much is it at .....?

still waiting for mine 

is that Ankh Morpork dollars?  if so, sold.
