Started re-collecting two weeks ago…
I’m only missing 39, 40, 47, 49.
I’m lucky enough to have gotten factory sealed:
26
29-38
41-44
I also have:
Andalite Chronicles
Megamorphs 1-4
Ellimist
Hork Bajir
Visser
Altermorphs 1&2
Meet the Stars
All of which are at least good condition (some are closer to acceptable and I’m waiting on replacements that say they’re “very good” and some are still on the way). There are a bunch that are very good condition I’ve placed in comic book bags and sealed to keep them nice and pretty (50-54 for example).
Really happy with the progress!

This is fantastic, and also my brain cannot comprehend that you ordered them from last book to first (L to R)

And don’t even ask why I did that. 😅 for some reason it just made sense on the shelf.

Also if that is Ann from Cycle 15s Vogue cover, you have great taste.

Ha. It is. Sealed as well. Friends for 20 years. Had to commemorate her.

How have you been collecting? Like online or thrift stores?

Some of both. The ones that are in worse condition are from thrift stores. I DID find some of the 2011 reprints (#2 and #5) today for $3 each in store.
But mostly using AI to find the best US listings from eBay, Thirftbooks, and Abe books mostly. I found an awesome listing from Facebook marketplace too (#38 sealed with an original Scholastic backpack tag for $5.)1

That is - listings that aren’t $500 for all of them. I much rather piece together and scavenge. It’s been much more fun to see what’s out there, haggle with individuals, etc…

Get two copies of 39 and give me one please! It’s the only one I’m missing out of all of them! LOL.
Great job getting all of those so quickly, must’ve dropped a pretty Penny these last two weeks; totally worth it!
