The Detective Comics 225 is a very nice copy. It has potential to be a 6, I just hope it is unrestored.
Most of the modern variants are in great shape and should do well. |

30 business days, so if you calculate weekends and courier from the UK to USA and back, it will be at least 50 days.

Just finished watching season 2, and have really, really enjoyed it.
Best Sci Fi series I have seen in a fair wee while.  |

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald...... classic Gordon Lightfoot!
Can I include an existing film that deserves a remake? |

For an existing film that I would like to see remade with a kick ass budget, director and cast, it would be the 1957 film "Night of the Demon"
For something new I would have to turn to books I have read, that would make great films.....
James Herbert "Fluke"
Robert R McCammon "The Wolf's Hour"
Wilbur Smith Trilogy "The Burning Shore", "Men of Men", "The Angels Weep" |

YOUR OLD TOYS
Crowman

If you could have a toy from your youth in it's original packaging today, what would it be?
I would be split between my Corgi Aston martin DB5 (Goldfinger) or my battery operated Stingray model I used to play with in the bath.
For those of you not up to speed with Stingray, it was a Gerry Anderson (Thunderbirds fame) TV show screened in the UK in 1964 and predated Thunderbirds. |

I really did not think I was going to like this, but it grabbed me by the short and curlies from the get go.

I loved it.
To borrow a Zep song..... If Marvel were ahead of DC before, they are now over the hills and far away. |

No, not yet.
I sent them via a third party (Scott's Collectables, London). They would have gotten the package from me by March 9th, and probably sent it off about a week or so later. I reckon I still have at least 2 - 3 more weeks to wait.
Upon reflection, I really should have sent the books in directly myself. Would have gotten a better turnaround time.
I will post the grades as soon as I have them. |

It does seem unfair. As a general rule of thumb I try and avoid pence copies. |
