Guys this is being made by the same company that makes the Classic Marvel Figurine Collection (over 200 released so far!).

Initially this was only available in the UK and I believe France, but was eventually distributed in the US, South Africa and I think Australia.

Point is, if this takes off, I think it will get a much wider distribution and be available at a more affordable price too.

The risk is that the series bombs and they only release 10-12 issues before closing - in which case it will be hard and costly to get!!!

I will say that in 7 years of collecting with them, Eaglemoss have always provided excellent customer service :)

The first 50-60 were officially released in Italy and Greece too, hope we get these as well!

I've subscribed to this magazine and the Batman Chess set, too. I wanted to get the Chess set last year when I saw it being advertised, but I was without any form of income back then. Decided now was the right time :)

I'd love to subscribe to the models magazines (both the Marvel and DC magazines) but I'm too far behind and I'm a "completionist". Once I start collecting something, I can't stop!

I'm trying to take hi-resolution/detailed images of my car, but the double plastic is ruining any chance of me getting a clear shot. I've decided to rip mine open from the bubble packaging, a few hours ago, so will re-attempt soon and hopefully get a few good snaps.

Personally, I can't wait for the Animated Series Batmobile!
 
i got my letter today confirming my order,
can take upto 3 weeks. and may not receive them in order apparently and can receive upto 3 issues per delivery. i suppose they want to save on postage.

now i have to play the waiting game
