The much touted new edition of Halo Jones going for 3 quid? Finally gave in and got a copy of Meknificent Seven.

Don't want to piss on anyone's chips, but bearing in mind that certain books were still shown with the old placeholder covers I wouldn't be too surprised if the Halo Jones book actually turns out to be the older Rebellion edition. Likewise The Meknificent Seven.

I was going to order a copy of Bison until I realised they wanted me to pay them £1.99. I assumed it was the other way round to get me to take it off their hands...

Ha!

Has anyone ever read the making of Rogue Trooper book - presumably that is from the video game?  99p is ridiculously cheap but I'm not really sure what's in it.

I know the store says 5 days for postage on busy periods (and then it'll be a couple of days delivery on top of that) but has anyone got there stuff yet?

I've never ordered off the store before so don't know if I should expect a dispatch notice or if the books will just turn up.

I've used the on-line store quite a few times and the books just turn up around five days after ordering. There is no dispatch notice.

They have a copy of this in my local fp they can't shift. Yes its all from the computer game and is pictures of the meshes and the like used. It's not great for a game art book. I guess most of the usual concept art this sort of thing contains was just lifted from the comic though. Might be worth 99p to the Rogue completist.

Rogue Completist, his search for reasonably priced rare memoribila continues as he wages a personal war against traitorous secondary market prices in general.

Ha! Despite my avatar, I'm not a Rogue completist.  Just wondered if it was any good.

This does remind me though that I still need to pick up the game itself.  I got the Dredd one (main reason I still have my PS2) which was good, the quotes really cracked me up - "this kind of rampant consumerism makes me sick".

the game is top fun. Think it was the first to employ cover based combat that was then popularised by Gears of War. I played the Wii version which did good.
