Hey everyone! I wanted to ask if anyone could do me a little favor.

I wanted to buy some Sonic comics. I used to go to Midtown Comics for this, but since the shipping price increase last year it became unwieldy, since they only ship with Priority Mail internationally. Basically, for 7 comics at $18 I need to pay around $25 for shipping, which is insane. I could buy them digitally, but it just isn't the same. I like actually holding them in my hands!

What I ask is if someone wouldn't mind getting the comics and then shipping them to me. I used to have someone who offered to do these kinds of things for me, but they haven't been on in a while, and I'm not comfortable enough to bother them with this out of nowhere.
I'm willing to pay full price for everything (comics + shipping in the U.S. + shipping to Portugal).

These are the comics I'm majorly looking for:
Sonic Universe #64
Sonic Universe #65
Sonic Universe #66

These would also be nice, but not mandatory:
Sonic the Hedgehog #260 (sadly Midtown doesn't have this one)
Sonic the Hedgehog #261
Sonic the Hedgehog #262
Sonic the Hedgehog #263

I'd say probably Sonic the Hedgehog #264 and Sonic Universe #67 as well, since they're the last ones released, but they're not as important as the others.


HUGE thanks in advance to anyone who can help! :smile:

I'm not much help as I don't have any comics for sale. I do want to wish the best of luck! I also collect Sonic comics and they're a pain in the butt to find! If you can't find them only have you thought about going to flea markets? I've found over a hundred Sonic Comics including the first one by searching flea markets.

Oh dear... Not a chance. :( See, until a few months ago (that I can tell, at least), Sonic comics just weren't sold in Portugal, period. That has been a major thorn on my side since I found out about them 10 years ago. The few comics I do have are from pre-shipping increase Midtown Comics.

I did find Sonic Universe #63 in a mall kiosk once, by complete happenstance. I don't know if this means now they actually are available here, but I've never seen any other Sonic comic for sale at a shop since then. To make matters worse, I don't live in the city, so no way to check if any place has them. Hence my asking for help, you see. :D

Thanks for the reply, anyway. It's nice to know I'm not the only reader of Sonic-y stuff around here! ;)
 
Unfortunately the nearest comic shop is about 40 miles from me. However, my best friend lives in a town with a shop. I'll pass your list to him, I bet he'd be glad to grab you what he can find. He's a nice chap!
 
I have a local comic shop in town I can try next week to see if they have any of these. I read some sonic but none of your list is in my small collection.
 
@evilbunnyfoofoo & @Ology

Wow, thanks to both! I wasn't expecting two people at once! X)

Hmm... The odds of one being able to find all 7-9 comics are pretty low, I think (I removed Sonic #11 from the list)... Even if they are fairly recent issues. So I was thinking maybe I could count on you both? Would that be okay? I guess we would just need to figure out who'd go first, Bunbun's friend or Ology. I don't know how busy either one of them is. ^^;
 
I'll see when Ology is going next then hit up my pal. We'll coordinate!
 
@evilbunnyfoofoo Great! :satisfied: Now we just need Ology's word, and maybe it would be best if we handled the rest through PM. It is possible to have a 3-person conversation with the new system, isn't it?

@Ology Tell us if this is okay with you!
 
It is possible to have a group chat with the new message system! I know she'll be onboard. Ology's a Super Trooper!
