The toys are a necessary evil. In my day a free gift was occasional, but now they all do it and kids often choose the comic for the toy. Mine went straight in the bin.
As for the comic. The comic page count is good and the art is good. Compared to other tie ins it’s a nice surprise. The GI Joe RoC one was worse and didn’t get past issue 6 (normally there’s a minimum run so the comic usually goes to say 6 issues minimum, though they can get pulled earlier). So if it’s still here at Xmas it’ll be doing better than the Joes.
I’m surprised to hear some of you guys have had trouble finding it. I got mine from WHSmiths and have also seen it in Asda.
I also wish UK comics didn’t come with the ‘Free’ gifts, but I do realize comics in the UK are aimed at a much younger age then in the US. I also get the UK Star Wars comic and used to get the UK 200x MOTU comic and all the ‘free’ gifts just make storage a nightmare. #2 of Thundercats is coming with a bow and arrow for crying out loud :rolleyes:
Stop ya moaning or I’ll come and shoot you with it Honestly I could live without the toys/gifts, but as a kid I loved the free stuff, so…
In regards to finding the magazine, to be honest I was a bit lazy and only looked in supermarkets for it (ASDA being one of them) I went into a local newsagents and found one single copy on the shelf (I should have gone to a newsagent from the get go really :rolleyes: )
There’s no indication that it won’t. On the plus side there will always be an endless supply of stressed mums trying to shut their tantrum throwing brats up with bribes of comics and sweets! Haha!
I couldn’t find issue 4 in Asda this time so had to get it from WHSmiths.
I’m enjoying the comic and think both the art and stories are good but I just wish it was more comic and less filler. Would also be nice to have a longer continuing story over several issues instead of the short stand alone stories.
I just get mine from my local McColls now. They seem to always have it and it’s the closest decent newsagents near me within walking distance I need to get the news of the issue 4 release up on the front page still…
Got issue 6 on Fri. Really enjoyed this issue again and what did I ask for a few posts back, a longer story, well I’m pleased to see this months story is a two parter concluded next moth :liono
Strange that the villagers are human as I don’t think we’ve seen any humas in this new Thundercats yet.
I also got issue 6 on friday. I don’t like the fact that they are now sellotaping the free gift to front of the magazine though… I wonder if it’s to cut down on production costs slightly?
Really? I’ve imported the first 5 myself and due to get issue 6 anyday now. Really wish people here in the US could get this officially too. Could you show a picture of this too? Been trying to figure out a good way to display the toys too. I think there may be variants of the toys too. Because I know a picture of one of the issues I got on ebay the toy was a different color.
