Hi all,

I was browsing Booktopia and saw that the Tintin collection has 45% off which come to about $7.8 per book.

Please note that it has long waiting time. My order has a note "This item has been ordered from our supplier and will ship from Booktopia within 15 business days. " so it will take a while to arrive.

There are other Tintin collection on the site

https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-adventures-of-tintin-collec…
and
https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-tintin-collection-herge/pro…

but they are the smaller format.

Cheers

      It's for 1940's kids.

        They've had to revise it numerous times to get the racist components out of it (ie. "N" word etc). Themes are still there though

      • IVI on 13/01/2019 - 19:41

        And… maybe.. kids growing up in
        orthodox / conservative / Amish, etc.
        communities.

        Hey, even JW.org don't encourage mem-
        bers to Vote in elections ('dunno if
        they need to pay fines for not voting,
        due to their religious beliefs…

        Do Quakers vote? They'd be exempt, I
        think… right?)

      I'll hazard a guess and suggest you're a conservative religious person (because you voted no in the same-sex marriage plebiscite, but even non-religious folks voted no) - having said that, have you recently explored ANY religious text (that I'm sure you'd have absolutely no qualms about showing to children?)

      Very funny comment, almost everyone dont get it.

      Booko:

      All Prices in AU$ (Lowest was just now: under ~AU$130)

      All-red cover… compact edition? Not same or UK red?, maybe?

    Full price seems a bit much. Discounted price seems.. ok.

    Abebooks have it for US$ 113.94 shipped, which works out to about $160

    • hellbuster on 11/01/2019 - 17:31

      Charges US$25 for shipping unless I am missing something.

      Edit - My bad. Total included the shipping.

      Edit - I was about to buy and realized that GST is calculated later. Which makes US$125.33. Still makes it cheaper than Booktopia, but marginally.

    Does anyone know if a similar full collection like this exists for Asterix?

    Fyi, doesn't seem like any of these have Tintin in the Congo

    • Trickey on 11/01/2019 - 16:14

      It appears that a different publisher holds the rights to it. This set is published by Egmont but the only versions of Tintin in the Congo I can find are published by Casterman.

    • forrester on 11/01/2019 - 16:19

      If you are happy with a digital version, Tintin in the Congo is available in the "Adventures of Tintin" app on the apple store, or alternatively Google Play for approximately $7.

      Yeah, that's hard to find.

      The Blue Lotus (anti-Japanese) and Tintin in the Land of the Bolsheviks (anti-Communist) are often excluded for fear of offending modern sensibilities.

      • quotemokc on 11/01/2019 - 17:31

    That's what they said about a piano lesson book I had to buy for my son. Arrived in 3 days.

        Calvin and Hobbes?
        Footrot Flats?
        I suppose they weren't the same novel type of stories as Tintin and Asterix

      • bchliu on 11/01/2019 - 20:38

    I just went hunting for the 1991 Adventures of Tintin TV series. Couldn't find it anywhere in all the usual torrent places.

    Turns out that all 3 seasons are on Netflix!

  • nicolemao on 11/01/2019 - 20:51

      Yeah I noticed that it didnt apply free shipping via OP's link either.

      To get free shipping with booktopia you need to click through via booko.com.au, works for all of their books (I've never paid for shipping on booktopia orders).

      https://booko.com.au/9781405294577/Tintin-Paperback-Boxed-Se… (Same link as KevinL posted above).

      • nicolemao on 11/01/2019 - 22:17

  • Dan83 on 11/01/2019 - 21:06

    Awesome! I still have nearly all of these boxed away somewhere - was a massive Tintin fan as a kid. They cost more per book even back then, so good deal.

    $147 for the hard back on Amazon AU, shipped by Amazon US. free shipping with prime.

    Only thing I note is the description says 21 books. Is this a different version to the Booktopia version ?

    • truetypezk on 11/01/2019 - 22:02
      +5

      Very. The one in the deal consists of big A4 (roughly) sized, individual books. The Amazon one is about half the size and a little small to read pleasantly. I own the Amazon set.

    Does anyone know if this or Asterix has become available in an electronic format? I’m more interested in the latter. I’ve already got the complete Asterix paperback collection (as well as all the about 50 Asterix figurines, that are approx 15cm tall each) but they’re stored away…

  • bailbondsh on 12/01/2019 - 13:02

    The kind of book that needs to read in physical format

    • CountDuckula on 12/01/2019 - 14:28

      I agree, I have them on my tablet but I end up needing to zoom in and pan around the page to enjoy it properly. Much nicer in the large format books where the text is easy to read :)

  • smurfstah on 12/01/2019 - 14:40
