      You mean historically? Or are you saying it is on sale somewhere else for that price?

        Historic. I bought it for $165 Nov 2019.

        Also this set is complete except the Congo one

          Historic. I bought it for $165 Nov 2019.

          Thanks, that’s what I was thinking. Hasn’t been that low for ages!

          also missing Tin Tin in the Land of the Soviets

  • Gigrantor on 10/07/2021 - 12:01

    Has anyone seen this available locally in any stores?

    I was hoping that Big W would get it in stock as they tend to have pretty decent discounts of the RRP.

    • CamM on 10/07/2021 - 12:03
      +1

      RRP is supposedly around $330, so not sure this is the sort of title BigW would normally carry?

      • Gigrantor on 10/07/2021 - 12:06
        +2

        I've seen similar boxed sets like the complete Harry Pothead for example, not sure what the RRP of those were though….

  • Dr Fruit on 10/07/2021 - 12:09

    Now that I think about it, some of the Tintin illustrations were quite racist. Oh well, still good memories!

    • Blokeinhisundies on 10/07/2021 - 12:20

      That's why TinTin in The Congo isn't included.

    • DarthPyro on 10/07/2021 - 15:02

      There is nothing racist in the book
      Lucky my regional library stocks it

      Another reason to buy! Thanks!

    I just read the Criticisms on Tintin in the Congo and I can see why it was removed.

    • Dr Fruit on 10/07/2021 - 12:27

      You should get your hands on a copy and read through it. It’s pretty shocking by today’s standards. Guess the world was different back then.

      • XCOM v2 on 10/07/2021 - 12:32

        Definitely worth picking up. It comes with a warning label stating how it’s a product of its time etc

      • Ezuku on 10/07/2021 - 12:55
        +3

        Well, the history of it is pretty fascinating. Even at the time there were a fair few sources that considered it racist.

        Remember this was only about 12 years after Leopold 2's atrocities in the Congo were brought to light.

    • ChadHominem on 10/07/2021 - 12:55

      Wait so Congo isn’t actually full of white people doing blackface?

      • ChadHominem on 10/07/2021 - 16:32
        +1

        Just pointing out that this isn’t what Congolese people or anyone that isn’t a white person doing blackface actually looks like

        • the discombobulated… on 10/07/2021 - 16:57
          +2

          Yeah… I'd want that maybe for completion's sake.

          That said I'd not give it to any kids to read as a Tintin story.

          As a historical example of racism… yeah but not as a story.

        • wanderlei on 10/07/2021 - 20:18

          Its a comic book.

            • FabMan on 10/07/2021 - 22:49

              @Ryballs: Not too sure how he is a slave from that picture, it seems like an awful stereotype from that day though.

              I just looked it up, Steamboat Bill was his valet and his sidekick. Steamboat was to help appeal to black Americans but instead they hated the awful stereotype and it was cut out within a couple of years.

            • Jimb000 on 11/07/2021 - 08:25

              @Ryballs: wait - captain marvel is male?

              • ChadHominem on 11/07/2021 - 09:20

                @Jimb000: There’s marvel’s captain marvel a.k.a Captain marvel (2019) and dc’s captain marvel a.k.a Shazaam (2019)

    $7.95 postage for Booktopia and it doesn't seem to allow their current 10% discount - any way around these?

    • CamM on 10/07/2021 - 13:07

      Good point re: shipping. Have updated the post accordingly.

      • y2k on 10/07/2021 - 13:12

        Also enabling the Qantas FF tracker will cause Cash Rewards to disable itself. Does anyone know if reenabling CR will then cause the FF tracker to disable?

        EDIT: I see you meant collect FF through Booktopia's own site, not through FF's tracker. Still keen to know the answer for buying on other sites where Qantas FF tracker works!

        • CamM on 10/07/2021 - 13:53

          Yeah, technically you can double dip on QFF + Cashrewards at Booktopia; triple dip if you’re using a points earning CC. Makes this title around $4 more expensive vs Amazon, so only worth it if you’re specifically chasing those FF points and don’t mind waiting for stock to come in.

    Ok, so have found Booktopia is running a 10% off only for today offer with 07NEW1003. It was a banner at the top that bizarrely kept disappearing and occasionally switches to a "free shipping for today only" banner. The banner also doesn't seem to appear once you're signed into the account.

    The 07NEW1003 code will likely invalidate cash backs as it's not a code approved by either site, and you need to pay Booktopia's $7.95 shipping, but at least you get 180 FF points (enter on your Booktopia account, not the separate QFF tracker) and it comes down to $187.91.

      @CamM you did the work on this so leave it to you to edit the post? Not sure what the ethics and protocols are around this stuff but seems unnecessary to post about the same product on the same day.

        Nope, T-shirt, poster, picture, teapot etc. etc.

  • bataleon on 10/07/2021 - 16:10

    I read a few of these (along with Asterix and Obelix) back in my innocent days. Serious question: Why is this box set so expensive? (RRP $330)

  • mikezillakind on 10/07/2021 - 16:16

    • shaidas on 11/07/2021 - 14:07

      Because they are in demand , same reason why a movie star is paid in millions or the Da vinci post it sized sketch sold for 12 million. Consumers create the pricing

    • Mamajo on 14/07/2021 - 18:27

      Less than $10 per book. And they are a treasure for generations.

  • 88mph on 15/07/2021 - 17:13

    I got a yearning today to relive my youth and bought this boxset.

    FYI today, it's $293 at booktopia Sept delivery, $202 at Amazon July delivery, bought from the latter.
