I'm really holding out hope now that Hachette has gone through with the AvP series, it looks terrific and the Spine Art was exceptional. I've never owned any of the comics before so to collect them in this edition would be amazing. Fingers-crossed if they've sent the subscribe flyer with the issues that they're sending out. I was disheartened by the website being shut down and the link sending you to the store, I'm not sure what that means. Out of all the collections Hachette is testing (or has already out in other countries) Alien/Predator and Star Wars Legends Collections are the ones I want the most being released. There's been so many Marvel ones already, I missed out on Judge Dredd and 2000AD (way too late to start picking up now) and I enjoyed the Transformers one thus far (also collecting the Legends of Batman Eaglemoss partwork which has been really good as well.) So it would be nice to invest in some fresh new collections.

I definitely do not want De Agostini to handle the Star Wars collection, their version looks like a cheap, knock-off version in comparison to Hachette's. They've never handled a comic partworks before and the book artwork is not too great. Hachette's also is doing all of the non-canon Legends books which is the real draw of the collection, De Agostini, if that collection was to proceed, is only focusing on the Canon/Disney Star Wars comics. It's ultimately not worth it in the long-run.

I'd prefer a more comprehensive partwork like Hachette, given their quality and experience in handling comics related partworks.

I mean just look at the books: https://m.bedetheque.com/serie-49847-BD-Star-Wars-Legendes-La-Collection-Hachette.html

The spine art as well is pretty amazing, I'm hoping Hachette finally releases it.

Wait so what does that mean? Are Hachette going through with them or did they decide to leave them at 4 Issues and not release the collection? I'm hoping this means we're getting somewhere with them since I was very much interested in the Aliens/Predator Partwork Collection. Looked amazing.

I'm also still in the party of wondering why in the hell Hachette haven't released their Star Wars series outside of France yet. It's exactly in the style of their ongoing Marvel one (which will never end at this stage, let's face it) so it should be an absolute no-brainer especially with all things Star Wars being released now, I'm surprised they're not capitalising on the property. The collection looks stunning and given all the issues released in France right now (100 and ongoing) it's had enough time to decide if it's worth their time or not. The spine-art is very nice and it's definitely going to be a popular release.

Hachette so far isn't providing much info on collections that will succeed their 2000AD and Transformers ones, they're both late into their runs, the Deadpool one is underperforming (I think trying to create a Partwork series solely on the back of just Deadpool was a misfire) so where are some fresh new partworks?
