Telltale Games

#1167 ended up with me here in Sweden.

Although I haven't read it all yet. You have to really extend the fun of reading it for the first time, you know?

oh yeah...I read it slow too...this comic is amazingly detailed and it's funny to see all the small detail that characterize every single page.

1800! Nice round number. Awesomely beautiful book, too.

StewG · 05/27/2009, 12:16 pm

I've currently got # 1025 and # 1781

.
And I have to say I agree with prefect47. You have to enjoy the book, make shure you don't miss anything, and that you understand everything.

I received mine today, #1879:

December 31, 1879 – Thomas Edison demonstrates incandescent lighting to the public for the first time in Menlo Park, New Jersey.

SeanSeanston · 07/03/2009, 08:18 am

There's still some left?

I only just got into Sam & Max when I decided to play Hit The Road for the lulz the past few days after being somewhat interested in playing the new Sam & Max games for a while.

Then being someone who has never read a comic in his life and has no interest in comics whatsoever, I also got a strange interest in this "Surfin' The Highway" business, which was sealed by the fact both seasons and the hardcover (not even just the soft cover...) were going for only $60. A bizarrely good deal since it's only $10 more than either the fancy hardcover or the season pack.

Then I notice here they've been on sale for about a year and get the disappointed feeling that something's wrong. Then I see as of a week ago someone got one and it's only on 1879.
Why haven't they all been taken by future E-Bayers by now?

Oh well, I think I'll order the Hardcover Special soon.

Kaldire · 07/07/2009, 07:08 am

good question!

Joop · 07/09/2009, 05:39 am

I ordered it right from the start.
I've got number 977.

I had allready read most of it though, as I own the original Surfin' the Highway too.

Hellerphant · 07/09/2009, 02:57 pm

I just ordered a copy from TellTale today, can't wait to get it

joyfree · 07/09/2009, 07:44 pm

I was going to get one early on, but forgot, so I ended up with #1584, signed by S.P.

ck64 · 07/12/2009, 11:34 pm

On one hand I'm a little dissapointed that these haven't sold out as I feel they should have, given the history.

On the other, I just ordered an Eisner pack with the book, so I'm greatful that I was able to get one. I'll let you know the number when it arrives in a few days.

ck64 · 07/15/2009, 12:55 pm

Got my order today, number 1991. Pretty cool

Scrawffler · 07/15/2009, 02:27 pm

#1933 arrived at my house over in the UK this morning.

I had to go out shortly after though and spent the whole day in London (along with a bunch of other Telltale merch I ordered at the same time). Finally got to open my package when I got back home this evening, so I've had it to look forward to all day!

It was worth the wait.

#1934 here :-)

Grandpa Bob · 07/22/2009, 10:58 am

number 434

which happens to be the year when Attila the Hun gained control over the Hun tribes, jointly with his brother Bleda, and when Proclus becomes Archbishop of Constantinople.

And mathematically, 434 = 2 × 7 × 31, sphenic number, sum of six consecutive primes (61 + 67 + 71 + 73 + 79 + 83)nontotient

SeanSeanston · 07/22/2009, 11:37 am

For people in Europe: How long has it taken to come after shipping?

Mine was shipped July 8th but it hasn't come yet. Also, the USPS tracking number doesn't work but it didn't show up as shipped until quite a few days after the 8th so maybe it was out of the system by then...

I just hope there hasn't been some issue with filthy customs trying to ruin my fun

Mine was shipped on July 10th and arrived 5 days later. I took a while until it actually shipped though but that's because I bought the celebration pack and something was not in stock.
The USPS tracking number did not work in my case either.

SeanSeanston · 07/23/2009, 03:28 am

Yay, my package came today

I got #1952.

Which is nice since it's a 20th century year.

March 10 – General Fulgencio Batista re-takes power in Cuba.
March 21 – The last two executions in the Netherlands take place.
March 22 - Wernher von Braun publishes the first in his series of articles entitled Man Will Conquer Space Soon!, including ideas for manned flights to Mars and the Moon.
June 14 – The keel is laid for the U.S. nuclear submarine USS Nautilus.
June 19 – The United States Army Special Forces is created.
November 1 – Nuclear testing: Operation Ivy: The United States successfully detonates the first hydrogen bomb, codenamed "Mike", at Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands in the central Pacific Ocean, with a yield of 10.4 megatons.

Altogether quite an interesting year.

Yakkuz · 07/26/2009, 08:46 am

1976 Here

Se7h · 07/26/2009, 02:41 pm

Mine's number 1998. The year I met my girlfriend/partner and we started our relationship. How time flies!
