 |  Bill, that is really bad my friend, are you a member on my forum....?  Reason I ask is we have a complaints thread running and every so often EM ask for a consolidated list or indeed read it themselves....may just be able to help you AND them get this sorted.   Their helpline is without doubt the weakest link in th ewhole shebang and until it gets kicked into shape more and more avid collectors will kicjk th ecollection into touch.     If you want to e-mail me with details I will do what I can to help  TGR "at" marvelcustoms.co.uk   steve |

          No Steve i am not a member,to be honest i really don`t want anything else to do with the company.On the helpline it says the conversation is recorded,so if that is not enough for them to weed out the weak links then so be it.Also,if there was a problem with my card,which i sincerely doubt due to the fact i have been using it before and since with no problem,they had all my contact details and should have contacted me,not just ignore the supposed problem.Thank you for the offer by the way!

          John,i was going to do that,but as i rarely go to Wolverhampton i thought it would be easier to order online,also the price is the same.If i go to Wolverhampton i will end up spending far too much! I get my comics by mail order to avoid impulse purchases!

          My curse is that i cannot resist going into HMV too! I used to travel to Brum every Saturday morning to Nostalgia,but the M6 got on my nerves,and i was spending in the record shops as well as Nostalgia! I still spend too much online,but at least  i can think before i purchase!

 that by subscribing, he got me the display "plinth", which settles nicely
 the question of where to put these things!

 Have to say, the paint jobs on these seem. . .  sloppier than the Marvels.

          Subscription also means this one comes as a bonus. . .

          Thanks to Lionel Peillon, I don't hate you as much as the others.  The figures in the back row have some pleasant company.

 |    I really think the Green Lantern looks like he forgot part of his uniform.  I may have to skip that one.   And, if you knew me and my collecting/reading habits, that's saying something... |
