with regard to the Xmas one and the DH one, you can kinda see why they weren't the first inline to be reprinted to be honest.

Never seen that Christmas one before.

Merry Xmas!!

Quite like the throwaway DH story.

I just think it's cool there's still "new" stuff out there being uncovered.

Both DH stories were reprinted in The Incomplete Death's Head.

As filler, one would suppose...

Mmm, fairly stock story. Has a cheesy 2000AD feel to it, though.

true. the spectrum of quality that 200 Ad run is quite striking.

Well, both of these were in the reprinted DH stories where DH 2 remembers his past, forgot the exact title...

The TF chrismas is so cheesy it's even cool! As you might know, I'm translating the UK stories to Hungarian and since it's unlikely I1ll get to "Christmas Breaker" by December, this one will have to fit in there.

It's nice to finaly read the little booklet thingey that came with issue 200 (exactly the sort of thing Titan should have included as a tpb extra of course...). It was on the ball about Andrew Wildman as well.

I wish I still had my copy. I think it disappeared when my parents put all my stuff in the loft.

I definately had that issue, but don't remember ever seeing the free gift. Why did that have to vanish but not that bloody awful magnyfing glass. "Hunt down the Micromasters!" Why? Apart from Roadhandlers long distantce fisting abiltiy they were all as dull as Gary Barlow...

I thought that their origin story was quite fun. But yeah, they were utterly background characters - not very interesting at all.

I liked the Micromasters.

So....anyone keep their transfer from one of the Pretender cover issues?

Was that the one supposed to look like you had machanical inards poking out of you? If so, yeah, its still attached to the comic.....

I used both of my transfers. Didn't fool anyone into thinking I was a robot in disguise tho.

Bouncelot · Post by **Bouncelot** » Sat Nov 19, 2005 12:54 pm

I don't remember what happened to that transfer. I don't think I used it.

Does anyone have the headmasters data thing from issue 130?

Wow, I had forgotten about that entirely until you mentioned it.
No, I don't think I have it...I didn't throw it out but I haven't seen it in so long that I had forgotten it existed...

Its one of those extras I;m not sure what happened to. I know that I have some posters from later issues, and I'm pretty sure that the "movie mark" is still around somewhere (probably buried in the middle of a book I've not picked up for ages) and there's something I never removed from the cover of one issue (can't remember what it was and can't be bothered to look).

I think I threw both the TF and the Secret Wars sticker books out. I only needed about a dozen stickers to complete the TF one.
