Just found this thread, didn't know there was a thread for comic collectors. Been collecting comics on and off since 1994. Used to collect spidey but the whole clone saga was very annoying and made me stop collecting spidey nowadays read mostly Dark Horse stuff like Hellboy, BPRD and The Goon plus some Marvel Stuff. currently waiting for my Conan TPBs from TFAW.com.

Not so crazy for those books but they have interested me, since nobody else seems very interested I'll take a swap. What would you like to swap for?

Earth X TPB
Universe X vol 2
Amazing Spider-Man: Coming Home TPB J Michael Straczynski John Romita jr
Daredevil Visionaries TPB Kevin Smith Joe Quesada

I can't seem to find Paradise X and Universe X I only have vol 2. I would like to swap for all 3 Daredevil TPBs.

Yes sorry I was in a rush with my last post.  smile.gif

Yes I live on the island. Can you do Queensbay on Sunday? (easier to get in and out than Prangin).

Sure, say around 2 o'clock around the main entrance or would prefer near Borders.

Do you guys think Marvel is going to integrate spidey's new FF costume into ASM's storyline since he already has the new spider armor and the stealth suit?

There's 3 type of shipping standard, premium & expedited. I usually use premium which takes about 2-3 weeks.Cost of shipment is dependent on the weight of the shipment.There's a calculator on the checkout page that will automatically calculate it for you.I have never had a problem with them & their customer service is quite good.

Maybe you should give it a try since they are offering some Marvel tpb's for as low as 1.99 usd.

Btw bookdepository.co.uk also has a 10% discount if you enter the code PPN3WS

Rm200 is quite expensive since you can order online for far cheaper prices.
I did some checking and found out the price from different websites.
Amazon.com = rm160 inclusive of international express delivery
Amazon.co.jp = rm174 inclusive of international express delivery
bookdepository.co.uk = rm100 standard delivery
tfaw.com = rm121 business premium delivery
If you want the cheapest you should go for bookdepository since they have a further 10% discount promotion right now but for the fastest delivery choose either of the Amazon websites.

Ordering from bookdepository takes awhile prepare to wait for your order.
I've had orders that took from 2 weeks to up to a month to arrive.

The price that you see is the amount that you have to pay and nothing else. There are 2 websites bookdepository.co.uk and bookdepository.com, for some books the price are different for each websites so you should search both for the best price. There are no other shipping options available. They also send each book separately even if you order them together.

no tax are incurred. As for the price difference, I don't know maybe because the .com website is targeted for the north American market hence the price difference. Although the .co.uk website has more promotions and further discounts.
