Title: Dredd fan from USA!
Post by: judgedoug on 17 October, 2012, 02:25:06 PM
Hi all,

new to the forums but a long-time Dredd fan. Well, long-time compared to other USA Dredd fans I know of. I saw the Stallone flick in the theaters, thought the background was awesome, so then I picked up the Titan graphic novels, became an immediate fan. Got all my friends to go see the new Dredd movie, myself four times (many of my friends two to four times each, too). Just started picking up the Complete Case Files to replace my Titan collection (actually if anyone wants to buy my Titan releases, let me know!)

Anyway glad to be here, thinking of actually subscribing to the Megazine even though it's stupid expensive to get a subscription mailed overseas, haha.

Doug

Hi judgedoug!

Welcome to the board!
Kudos to you for supporting the new Dredd film, now go tell the whole of America to buy the Blu-ray so we can have a sequel!

;)

Hi Judgedoug, and welcome. Now let's see, you and your friends, Grant Goggans, Blackmocco, Locustsofdeath, Dougas Wolk - I think that means we've now identified everyone who saw the film in the States.

Don't forget there's a wonderful wider world beyond Dredd in the pages of 2000ad. Dive in and explore why don't you.

Welcome aboard, have fun.

It's a terrific value to subscribe if you go digital, Doug!   Why waste money having it posted to you?

Not a bad idea, I'll look into it!

Trust me, I am working on it. I'm thinking of actually buying a 3D TV just for the Dredd bluray... and writing a letter to the TV manufacturer telling them why :)

Lol! I'm fairly proud because I was personally responsible for turning someone who knew very little about Dredd into a huge Dredd fan. He saw it four times and has been consuming my graphic novels, and is now saying it's one of the best films he's ever seen. A couple of my friends who saw it and had never read Dredd have even gone out and bought some of the Complete Case Files - including some lady friends!
So, definitely doing my part to spread some Dredd lovin'!

I have somewhat, I have a bunch of Strontium Dog and Robo-Hunter, and some Rogue Trooper. But it's also a battle with my fiance, she's only letting me buy the Dredd Complete Case Files because I promised to get rid of the Titan graphic novels (I do have a lot of stuff... and little space... so it's an understandable arrangement). Doing the digital 2000AD may just be the way to go!

Nice mate!

Dredd is the sole reason for me buying a 3D TV/3D Blu-ray player!

You know it makes sense!  :D

Hey guys, since I guess I don't have permissions to post anywhere but this board - I was wondering if anyone knew of a company that makes, or has plans to make, a Dredd movie replica helmet, body armor, lawgiver, badge, etc? I would love to get a set (it'd go nice with my Colonial Marine set!)

Hi Sauchie,
thanks for the greets! I have seen that outfit, but I'm more interested in the Dredd movie outfit. I'm hoping to put one together over the next year.

I guess I'm looking for something a bit closer to screen-accurate, but thanks!
