This bargain mightn't be to everyones liking but as this product has had a large drop in it's price I figure it might be worth posting.

Basically it's a complete set of Tintin books in hardback format in a presentation box.

This is selling for around the $130 mark at most other book outlets around the web. And if you are feeling rich Angus and Robertson will sell it to you for a cool $275!

EDIT: Marked as expired due to price increase from £45.00 to £62.32.

EDIT2: Back in stock again (for now) at £45.00 on 25/10

  • PLA74 on 23/10/2011 - 22:16

    Does anyone know where to buy TinTin comics from?

    • coldsale on 23/10/2011 - 22:23

      Get it from bookshops/2nd hand book shops/ best place for free 21 days from library in your country

      • PLA74 on 23/10/2011 - 22:27

        Yeah I can get from my local library but thanks anyways

      Is this very bargain on which you are commenting, not a collection of Tintin comics?

      • Fliedlice on 24/10/2011 - 02:07

        @Simulacrum, I think PLA74 means the actual original-sized comic books.

        http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Collection-9-TINTIN-brand-new-Her…

        I used to read these when i was younger too. That website i just listed was 1/3 of the entire collection and it's $140.
        I'm used to reading manga with the same dimensions as this book collection, hopefully the fonts aren't too small. Just ordered.

        Thanks OP.

    Please Check the delivery to Australia an extra GBP 25 = AUD$40 + 75 = 115

      Choose the FREE super saver postage option. Just double checked, it's definitely got a free option.

      Have no idea where you are getting GBP25 from, even the fastest delivery option "Priority Express" is only GBP22.58.

        Not sure if you've noticed the banner on the Amazon.co.uk front page saying "FREE Super Saver Delivery to Australia & New Zealand"…

          …..and even more so, a woman whose name is sparkles - because let's face it, the fairer sex is rarely wrong. Ever.

  • Funkdafied on 23/10/2011 - 23:08

    Does VAT come off that price?

    • sparkles on 23/10/2011 - 23:16

      No VAT comes off books - they are already VAT free. Would be nice though.

  • soupratt on 23/10/2011 - 23:22

    Cool. Order Placed. Finger's crossed :)

  • Wish on 23/10/2011 - 23:24

    Thanks Sparkles, just ordered the set.

  • randoom on 23/10/2011 - 23:27

    Anyone know if these are the shrunk-down books (about 2/3 original size)? From the dimensions, it seems they are.

      Yeah I am pretty sure the original comics were larger.

      To my knowledge there aren't Tintin collections in original size. If you want original size seems like you'll need to buy each one individually.

    • sparkles on 23/10/2011 - 23:35

      They are smaller than the usual Tintin books. There is quite a few reviews on the US Amazon site debating whether the text is too small - some people like it, some people don't.

      Check out the reviews here:

      I always found the original books way too big (not exactly the easiest thing to carry around when I was trying to take them home as a kid from the library) so I'd think a slightly smaller set - not to mention a matching set, would find an easier place to store on someone's bookshelf without it sticking out & at the same time would look quite stylish

      Saying that though they could've replaced the font for the smaller set to make it easier to read

    I've already pulled the trigger, but I am happy to be able to FINALLY finishing the series that I enjoyed as a kid but not able to since the local library don't have the full set.

    Hang on a sec… I am STILL a kid, just a big sized one that's all… :P

  • A Banana4scale on 24/10/2011 - 00:18

    just in time for the new movie coming out

  • theodoreruxpin on 24/10/2011 - 00:22

    the PS3 game also looks awesome, it's funny seeing the characters in a more 'real-life' form

  • save my dollarydoos on 24/10/2011 - 00:46

    I already own the 3 in 1 books yet dearly want this still.

  • stanas on 24/10/2011 - 06:38

    Price has now gone up, it is now $100 or £62.32.

    I've spent YEARS thinking that this was a remake of RinTinTin, the old black and white TV show with the dog in it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rin_Tin_Tin

    LOL - I am such a dumbass :-D

  • XoiThit on 24/10/2011 - 12:29

    I managed to get one last night :). In fact, I've got one already, not the collection but 7 individual books I bought from Amazon US 4 years ago. It cost me over $200 after shipping then. I used my 28 Degree card to pay last night so I believe it would cost me ~$70 only (haven't checked yet). Thanks for the post. I still want the original French edition to make it complete :D

      Thanks - also just noticed that it's back in stock at £45.00 again. Have updated expiry, hopefully those that missed out and still want it see this thread again.
