January 18th, 2023 - 8:43pmWould be nice to have these but there is no way I’m paying anything like that amount having already spent a small fortune on the actual books. We should be given the chance for maybe £2 an issue after spending what we’ve done already. Not a cat in hells chance I’m paying what they asking for.

January 19th, 2023 - 9:17amI agree, maybe £4.99 an issue would be a fairer price point but to be fair there is now a chance to get the rarer volumes at a ‘normal’ price compared to what they go for on ebay. As with any partwork, they flood the shops for the first few issues (usually the first issue is attached to a huge unweildy cardboard backing) and the later issues become only available for subscribers or specialist stores.

January 19th, 2023 - 11:39amAlso this is more likely aimed at the fans who would be interested in this but would not like Shelves and Shelves taken up by a book Series (I myself have about 3 taken up by Marvel and Hatchettes All Killer No Filler Deadpool Collection) plus as I hope the 20 Issue bundles remain at £99.99 each, when I tried to work out getting the books individually, aside from the first 2 ‘issues’ (these go by Volume Nos. Rather than Issue nos. As issue 1 in the physical media was Vol. 55 covering 3 10th Doctor Stories wad priced at £1.99 from 2007, whilst Issue 2 was Vol. 17 and covered 3 Stories featuring the 3rd Doctor) I totaled it up to conclude that other than these 2, all 88 issues from 3-90 would be priced at £9.99 each, the overall amount being £885.10. So original physical print worked out for 20 issues: between 185.80 and 199.80, and digital 20 Issue bundles at £99.99, I’d say it is still a decent discont as you mostly get all 90 issues in digital format for £449.95

January 21st, 2023 - 9:01amCompletely agree. Some magazine subscriptions give you access to a digital archive too. Previous subscribers should not have to pay twice, but this is the real world and clearly it would never happen! They could do the 13th Doctor stuff digitally, I suppose – but I guess the lack of popularity of that era would probably not make that commercially viable either – although by definition you would be aiming at the completists in which case it might be a goer!

January 18th, 2023 - 11:38amI’d like these on digital but the price is pretty steep compared, just £1 cheaper than the hardbacks for content that was published over five years ago
