So mine came in. Got one still in package and the other one is in my shadow box



Slowly building the team up

Awesome!

I've just checked every comic shop in Sydney except one (which I found out about too late), and still didn't find them offline.

Will probably have to order them.

I got both of mine on eBay. Have yet to see one in a store

[Le Messor]

Yeah, I'll probably have to go the eBay route, too.
I saw them paired up for 60AUD a couple of weeks ago, but that was just before I left for the coast / Sydney, and couldn't be spending that money.

Yesterday, in the print room at work, I noticed a letter written to somebody named John Byrne. True story.

Were you collecting mostly only one of the Diamond or Bowen busts?
Are the full statues unofficial ones?

Just realised I didn't answer this; I'm collecting them all in theory, but they're a fair bit harder to get over here due to the weight/shipping costs associated.
I've got most of the ones I have on trips to the States.

The full statues are the Eaglemoss ones: http://alphaflight.net/content.php?6...Cover-Revealed

[Le Messor]

Yeah, they're not easy here either.
I've managed to get all the Diamond and Bowen ones, but not one of the Eaglemoss (they'd cost me about $60 each over eBay.)

Today, I met up with a friend who's been journeying through Asia.
He brought me an Aurora! He didn't even know I'd been looking for it.
So, yay!, I've got that one.

[Le Messor]

He brought me an Aurora!

... and two days later, in a comic shop in Sydney, I found my Northstar! They're both right next to me right now.

Yay Mik!

[Le Messor]

Thanks.

[Mekko Hotvle]

Did you take them out of their packages and do a high-five to each other? lol

[Le Messor]

They're trying to hold each other's hands right now. (It's obvious Aurora is designed to hold hands with Northstar, but not the other way around. Ah, Jean-Paul - always going your own way!)
