I just forget it when passing through customs of the conveyor belt. I called the airline and someone brought it through for me.

Christ. Looking at that list of comics in a straight list. Christ! Did you have to buy them a seat of their own? ;)

No, they did, however, have their own bag.

Madness! I made sure my bags containing comics never left my eyesight during the trip back.

My checked luggage was lighter than my carry-onboard bags. :D

Not as many as me, I don't think.

I'd actually like to cut that down to about 60 comics, but I think there are a few mini series ending soon and heavily delayed titles on that list.

Comics are too expensive and not good enough, as of late.

True. I've always made budget for 10. I might change that, found a shop which ships comics for way less than my shop, but I'd have to order each month from Previews. This means I might get 15 comics/month, but since I'd have to look every month what I'd want, I'd be much more pickier and change my list more often.

I was considering looking online to see what comics cost for online subscriptions.
I would not stop using my store completely, but might cut it down to 30 books in the store and then order online.

Can't help you there, the online store I'm thinking about is in Holland. They do ship outside Holland, but I doubt that with shipping costs it would really be worth it to you.

I`d be looking at a US site like mycomicshop.com, or, fuck, even midtown.

I know you said milehighcomics is expensive, but quite a few people I know here use it. Maybe they don't know about other stores, but I doubt it. I guess the dollar/euro rate has something to do with that as well, though.

Holy crap my crotch has been sore for the last 2 days. I should see the doctor, and yet, I am supposed to be on a plane tomorrow.

You don't already do that? No pre-order for you?

Uh, yeah, but I've simply got a list at my shop. And I hardly ever change that since I'm too lazy for it and don't really like hopping around and get only bits and pieces. That, and I'm usually a bit behind the curve, so hopping on with the third issue of a run seems so... hopeless. If I've got to look at it each month, I know I'll be much more critical at what I get. That'd be a good thing, though.
