Well it seems obsessively searching has paid off. I just bagged the out of print softcover of FF Vol.2 for a better than bargain £7.99. They retail at over double that, and Amazon have it for something like £33. I've seen it on play.com for £120.00, which is the completely unrealistic scale to the spectrum.

It was on Ebay and must have only been put up this morning because it wasn't there yesterday. I'm delighted. Now to hope for the same with X-men Vol.2 and Doctor Strange Vol.1.
