Yep it is very good I have had it for about a year and always use it as a reference guide when I get my figs ready for feebay.
I am sure I only paid £16.00 with postage give me a few mins and I may find it cheaper plus if you use a cashback site you also get some money back through them.

Cheers Tintin, I know there are a few different ones out there, but some are in volumes and others include other toylines etc.

Is this one fully illustrated then ?

they're not a patch on the bellomo book, not wanting to offend anyone but when I read 'my collection, this book, my family etc was done only by the grace of God' I kinda wished I hadn't bought it

It's cheaper on amazon £16.99 including postage or you could go for a used one?

It must have gone up or I may have bought it from amazon u.s. I can't remember.

Heres some quick scans not very good because I am in a bit of a rush

P.S. The nunchacks you had are on one of the photos
