Haven't a clue, I'm afraid. The last time I saw it it was sitting on my bookshelf unopened.

Now that's what you call a Saturday delivery!
Prog 1960 plus Trifecta and Judgement Day from the Mega Collection.
Sadly they will have to wait until tomorrow as I'm due to leave for West Bromich Albion away in about an hour.
Still, plenty to read on Sunday  :D

Demos99,  you do know 2000ad has undergone to my reckoning at least four size changes. Z

In regards to bags it doesn't really matter, especially if you use backing boards.
All mine are bagged in 2000 AD (original) size bags. In regards to the binders, then it may make a difference. I have measured it up as I intend to bind mine professionally (one day).

Now taking orders. Limited to 500
Holds 28 issues.
Considering I would need at least 60 of these I think I'll stick to my original binding program.
Which is a shame.
I'll probably buy one, just for the collection.

I get mine 98 times out 100 on a Saturday. The other two can be split between receiving it on a Monday and a Friday.

Move along, there's nothing to see here  ;)

Glad your copy has arrived.

I've got the original poster prog too.
Trying to support the limited phase of these releases.

Have escalated my status to MiffCon 3 and contacted support.
I'm beginning to suspect it may have been eaten by filthy Treens, or possibly the Skool dog.
As any fule doth kno.

You can have mine, with poster prog folded correctly, for £500.

A bargain, I say. A bargain.

Yours will be with you by tomorrow I reckon. Those droids are pulling their fingers out...Just...  ;)

Firstly, as previously mentioned, it's folded incorrectly. .... Second niggle is that it's roughly only 2/3rds of the original size. I think that should have been made clear in the original sales blurb. If I had known this I probably would have gone for the standard edition.


It's also worth adding in that the poster prog is a reproduction of one of the colour spreads from the prog rather than an original page.  Specifically the first episode of the Hollow World story. 

Thanks for that .  Glad I went for the standard edition now.

Tis true. I knew that from the off, once having owned the poster mag.

Spoke too soon  :P

Dan Dare has arrived via DHL!

First impressions; It's beautiful. Lovely paper and gloriously reproduced. I'm very happy with it.
Couple of minor niggles about the post mag though. Firstly, as previously mentioned, it's folded incorrectly. To be honest this is not a big deal and I re-folded it properly. I like the way it has it's own sleeve at the back too. Second niggle is that it's roughly only 2/3rds of the original size. I think that should have been made clear in the original sales blurb. If I had known this I probably would have gone for the standard edition.
These are minor niggles though. The book itself is a thing of beauty.

I'm starting to think the limited was a figment of my imagination.
Still no sign of it.

Ah, bollocks. I give up. It will get here eventually or it won't.

It's only 40 quid after all  :'(
