The Beano 75 years issue whats inside...its guessing time..

[Lew Stringer]

Yes, stealing items in the first place is potentially a criminal matter (but you'd need evidence, and bringing home a low value freebie from work would surely be expected to be dealt with internally by the company, like pilfered stationery), but selling an item before its official release date is not in itself.

The evidence was there on eBay. Photographic evidence of items that DCT haven't released yet, up for the highest bidder. That's brilliant evidence. You couldn't have better evidence. We saw it with our eyes. All of us. Multiple eyes, looking at it. Our computers remembering it.

The investigation would be into how the seller obtained them and how many more are out there.

Yes, evidence that it's out there, but the seller could say they bought it at a car boot sale, or from a man in a pub, or from a dealer at a comic mart.

And then the police ask which dealer, which pub, and take it from there. Haven't you seen Z-Cars?

Even better, I've read L Cars, but to the question of "who was the seller?", they'd answer "I don't know."

Well.... if someone was caught selling dodgy goods I think they'd give as much evidence as they could to get themselves off the hook, wouldn't you?

I think Al will intervene again soon if this new argument gets too heated. Respect his wishes, please.

Whaat? It's not an argument. It's just friendly, reasoned discussion! I even tried to keep it light by mentioning Z-Cars, a show that hasn't been on telly for about 90 years.

Sheesh!

[Raven]

Absolutely no heatedness from this end either, apart from the weather.

Back to the topic

I heard from the BBC that Andy Murray is appearing in it.

No argument there.

Oh wow, I laughed like a drain at that comment! Even if Z Cars did finish before I ever saw it!

That's exactly what they did say.

I also spoke to the person selling them on eBay and they told me that they bought them from a car boot last Sunday.

I'm just glad I pulled out of the bidding. Besides £26 is a bit much for two specials which are coming out later on in the month (unless DCT are planning to sell them for £13 each).

[Digifiend]

I'm expecting that they'll be between £3.99 and £5.99

[SID]

Exactly.
