Nice! I rely on YouTube and Tumblr for Tintin fandom (which, as I said already, includes fanart)

You learn something new everyday! That’s a good price if it’s for the whole set. @DennisN you should’ve purchased them and wait until they become worth something good :biggrin:

No, it just proves I'm old enough to be your grandfather. ?:) :biggrin:

Actually, the Gray Mouser novels are moderately old, even for me. I'm surprised they haven't been reworked into movies or TV series.

As for "Seven of Nine", she's an acquired taste -- for people who like the Star Trek genre. She was both simultaneously strong and vulnerable.
