Since each book has stand alone stories do far, any issue would be a good place to start.

Ok, thanks. Are the 2 Dave Stevens publications complete stories?

 

[Darth Snoopy]

The original Dave Stevens books were complete stories.

 

[Jay1138]

Thanks Snoopy! This is on my next "to-get."

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Cool and no problem!

 

[Jay1138]

Picked up issue #1 RA and #1 of RA2. Great reads! Gonna pick up the other 2 this next week.

"So...what you're saying is that Disney released The Rocketeer on blu just to shut you up? Well it worked!"

I would say so haha... especially since I was AWFULLY sarcastic in some of my later followups. I was pretty rude to them after they held the 20th anniversary meetup/showing in California and yet STILL made no announcement for a blu release. THAT drove me insane. Luckily a few months later they did finally announce it. As for the lack of extras? Absolutely brutal considering they could've filmed the cast and crew 20th celebration thing easily. I was just so happy to get the film on blu that I looked past the lack of extras. I WOULD definitely buy a super special edition though... gladly. Wait till you guys see MY Rocketeer statue shelf Just need a higher post count though.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I'm looking forward to seeing your shelves, Winter!

 

[Jay1138]

Welcome to the boards Winter! Glad to have another Finhead with us.

Looking forward to seeing your shelf!

The long awaited Rocketeer PF figure arrived last night. Got it for a good price, was a little more than I wanted to spend but it was the Exclusive. I spent a few months looking at them and sourcing out prices. This is definatly one of the top Rocketeer collectibles.

Also started working on a helmet with the help of some other guys.

 

[Something Sexy]

Glad it arrived safely!

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Congrats, Jay!

 

[Jay1138]

Anyone got any ideas if the Rocketeer PF may go on sale again soon?

Killken, this fellow here just put one up for sale. It's a great price, and it's the Exclusive....

WOw! That is a very good price for the Ex!

Sure is! Someone needs to pick him up before he goes to ebay.

I love the Rocketeer but I made the decision to go exclusively 1/6 for my collection so once he sells the funds are immediately going to a medicom rocketeer!
