Anyone know what is special about issues 122 & 123? The former is currently bid up to £35 on ebay & the later up to £20...!!Just wondered if Hatchette is using etched gold instead of brass these days or if they have gone out of business and later issues will be rare as hens teeth? cheers John

Limited signature edition? Weird that they would fetch that high a price and if you were getting them week by week, surely you would ask hatchette for replacements if you broke something.
Weird..

Well I have a bit of insder information... I have been bidding on these issues meself- I bid on one as I do not have the cockpits for arado planes - they were missing and my newsagents are struggling. I gave up on Hachette to be honest after some phone calls - got no where fast. So my Arados will be cannopy free!
I gave up bidding on them once it got past 9.99., as it is just silly money at that price. Cant understand why the buyer is willing to pay 5x 6x the price.

Yep they were desperate. 30.99 it went for - and still his bid price was higher!

Maybe someone here from one of the later countries could pick up a copy for you. You don't need the text, so Dutch or Russian would be fine.
Say Please and see what happens.
Maybe a prize for the most co-operative and generous non-British member?

Mate I think Australia is now the only other country anywhere near the UK in issues and we're only up to issue 115. Unless you find someone from Germany. We are about 2 months away from issue 123, but when it comes around, I'm happy to see about getting another one. Let me know if you're still looking by December. cheers Rod

But if there's a shortage elsewhere, we could be paddling up you know what creek in a barb wire canoe too trying to get extra issues
