Stand By for Action!


More details have emerged regarding the limited edition Supermarionation Blu-Ray box set that Network are producing. You can now pre-order it from the company's website at a specially discounted price until October 20th at the latest. 

You may recall that I recently reported that it would include the return of the much-loved TV21 comic as an all-new specially printed one-off edition as just one of the items in this collection. Here are the full details of this amazing box set from the Network website....
