It's the Mirror, he wouldn't touch it for the DW figures so I doubt he'll touch it now!

I won't!
But if any Mirror reading chums could help...
Especially for the Monday July 4th Skywarp (look at the illustration)! That was never released. There's a UK exclusive right there!
I wonder what the "awesome 24-page comic" on Saturday is.

Presumably not the Titan comic, as the latest issue was 36 pages.

Only 8 pages of it was an actual comic.  -Ralph |

I'll see what I can do, if I have some luck should be able to grab extras without buying the paper same as the Who figures.

*cough* These aren't actually RPM's. They would appear to be Speed Stars, the replacement (and very similar line) to RPM's. Different paint apps, some different moulds and they all have some die-cast. IIRC only a few RPM's actually had die-cast.
Speed Stars were quite under-distributed.

Succeeded in getting extras, though did have to buy a few extra papers so not quite free probably about 20-30p each if anyone wants any.
I can bring them along to AA. I might bring them all along and people can take them for donations to toyfu.
I never bothered with RPMs but these are quite fun.

Be finding out if the comic is in with the paper [seeing they have tv mag in there] or if still to collect it.

Popped into a Sainsburys to buy some Lockets lozenges. Was asked if I wanted some free stuff. Was given the comic, poster and a pile of leftover Speed Stars from the Record promo! I must just radiate tat power these days.
I must try my local and see if my tat power works again!

I'm quite liking the poster. After the somewhat pointless box yesterday I was expecting the worst. Now I just need to discover the comics contents.

It's by Titan and appears to be a compilation of material from the ROTF comic.

I made my final Trans-Mirror-trip to Sainsbury's today to pick up my stickers.
The irony of all of this "free" stuff is that it's cost me about £15 in petrol. At least I also got Universe Stormcloud, but its £6.40 price tag seems less of a bargain when you take the petrol into account. Oh, and I picked up a few comics with Transformers stuff in them.
Incidentally, one day this week I was asked to pick up some butter in Sainsbury's while I was there because our brand has gone up in price in the local convenience store. I was later told that it was £2.36 locally and I'd bought it for £1.90. "46p difference," I said. "You can buy a Transformer and a newspaper for that and still have a penny left over!"
