Yeah, they're charging £1.99 again - not happy. :x The reason was the Tekma Xtreme toy, which retails at 99p. It's so bulky, it is just plain unsuitable to be given away with any comic, and so they should've just included the other two gifts and charged the usual £1.25. Are they gonna charge extra whenever they do a themed issue?

Liked the content though. Unlike the posh issue, most of the regulars were present. Odd that Roger was drawn by Tom Paterson instead of Barrie Appleby though. :?

Note to Barry Glennard - that's twice now that The Numskulls have failed to fit the issue theme. Tell your writer to give you a storyline which fits the theme next time they decide to use one!
