  • I posted a WTB in the trading section, with no response, so I figured I would broaden my outreach to look for suggestions.

    Anyone have a good method / place they go to or have any suggestions? I'm not even talking valuable rares, I am just having problem filling in a hole in 2000 AD and Judge Dredd Megazine (relatively recent). Basically, Midtown up a pre-order, and then for a year and a half kept saying it was on its way. I've now decided it's never coming, so its time to find it on my own.

    I'm looking for Judge Dredd Megazine 372 and 2000 AD 1979-1982. Anyone have suggestions on sites that might carry them? I've been having minimal luck on my own, even including ebay.

    Thanks,

    Tex

  • Did you try Mile High? Yeah I know pricing can be crazy but they may have what you're looking for or can get it for you.

  • You could try the facebook group, Foreign Comic Book Collectors. Using them and ebay I've really been able to expand my foreign G.I. Joe collection a lot.

  • , no luck there either. Anyone else have any ideas. Seems strange that in the day of the internet this is as hard as it is.

  • Yup, they said it released on time, and they are sold out.

  • Good call on the 2000 ADs, placing an order now, thanks!

    Midtown is who i preorder from, they have been saying every month for the last year and a half, but basically they don't know what's goin on . I have already talked to them both through email and phone.
