IDW's Classic Transformers Trade is incomplete!!!!

[veritech]

Don't know if this has been brought up before; sorry if I'm retreading here . . .

But I just found out that IDW's black and White "Classic Transformers Vol. 1" is incomplete!!! According to a review on Amazon, IDW left out Issue#3 (spider-man) and Issue #9 (circuit breaker) for legal reasons. I guess I can see the problems with the use of Spiderman, but Circuit Breaker? That means there will be alot of comics left out of the Classic TF omnibus should sales warrant further volumes.

The completist in me wants to scream . . . . even though I have had the original issues for over 20 years now.

IDW.... do an "Essential TF" series of trades with EVERY US and UK Marvel story in chronological order.

Or is that too logical?

The Spidey thing, well, they can use him in the Avengers crossover can't they?

There's a stack of stuff Titan didn't reprint --

Completists should buy the original issues, as always.

To put it bluntly, there's little point in IDW attempting to reprint US #68-80 unless the material is under different licensing terms.

It may be, as they've already published #75 in the Best of Furman compilation.

See also mention of possible further Titan reprints, which I assume would be in cooperation with IDW --

The crossover was done in-house by Marvel, with minimal input from elsewhere.

I just found my ENTIRE collection of the UK G1 run has been stolen.

Needless to say, I am NOT happy.
