Transformers Rescue Bots Magazine

[KnightBeat]

I flicked through this issue in WH Smiths earlier, though didn't realise it was a new issue. The Boulder toy is quite nice, definitely pound shop class material that will break easily, but should sell a few issues. I also quite like the stickers that come with it.

Have they always used the same paper for the internal pages of this comic? It feels so cheap and nasty - the type that could leave your fingers covered in ink when you handle it.

[primenova]

They have used the same paper stock - but this is the so called higher grade paper - remember #309? This paper is cheaper but higher grade & print is better. Also it makes it easy to do the colouring in than on gloss paper.

Fantastic Funworld (also published by Signature) features a Rescue Bots playkit cover gift this month, containing a fire engine (it's like a Heat Wave, burning in my heart), a second vehicle I can't recall (Possibly Chase, the police car), traffic cones and bits of cardboard road.

[primenova]

I'll havea look. Rescuebots #12 might be out today

[primenova]

I picked that issue up & Rescuebots #12 too. What the price when you get them you might be paying 50p more than cover price.

So for some reason my local Tesco didn't stock issues 15 and 16..... I just assumed the mag had finished. Now I've gotta track these down.

[primenova]

You've got the better chance of wining the lottery than finding the issues - unless they are on ebay. No comics shops stock them unless you find where the unsold mags go - some markets do have old comcis at £1 each but they are rare now.

Still going.

[The Doctor]

No sign of it round these parts.

Pretty much for all the time that it's been available, the only shop around here that stocks it - and the other Transformers title - is Asda. (There was a period when one or both was in the hospital shop.) Lately, though, I've found issues in the local co-op, too, which was handy because I've had trouble getting them during the pandemic. I think I missed an issue, maybe two, of one or the other - it/they must be the only UK comics I've missed since Fleetway's Generation 2! (Stupid covid!)

[The Doctor]

I recommend Newsstand for folk having problems finding a single issue of a periodical:

-Ralph

[primenova]

I still see both issues but don't pick it up - seeing what happens when they get to CV end series 3 & RBA end series 2

[primenova]

#49 £4.75 Dinobot month - not sure which ep it is but T-Rex is in it


Reprint same story that was in #14 Land before Prime - so RB not RBA

[primenova]

#50 out 28/1/22 not sure what story is in it price £5.99 Chase toy. No sign of Cyberverse next issue (maybe last) but RBA should last another year? They still have series 2 to do
