Yes big fan, re-watched it recently, was it big in France ?

Persuaders is a classic, used to watch it on a Sunday afternoon. Watched the recent reruns as well

Yes, it was big. And nowadays too. The show has always been very popular in France. It's regurlarly reruns.

I'm also a big fan (since I was kid). I watched re-runs and I have the DVD box set. I like a lot of TV series, but "Persuaders" is in my top 10.

I agree with Hammer, it's a classic.

Unstoppable has posted on Facebook that pre-orders for Saint Series 2 and Persuaders start on October 7

As always, supposedly special, web-only exclusives through their site

Put back another week to the following Sunday now. Release still at end of October.

The Saint Set Two/The Persuaders.

Two hits per box.
Now a dual case of 18 boxes, presumably 9 of each set.
The usual suspects signing. No real surprises. Some carry over cards from set one on The Saint set two by the looks of things.

Think it's 16 boxes per case, 8 of each.

Yes that's what I'm reading now. Could swear it said eighteen this morning.
Possibly wrong.

The website says that these are "this year's final big release"

So does that mean no UFO Series 2, Thunderbirds or Avengers for 2018 ?

Probably. All of their releases are at lease two or three months late all the time, so all those ones scheduled for the end of this year were always going to be next year.

To be fair to them, both sets do have some first time signers, and when you're talking about shows where most of the cast are dead, there's only so much they can do.

The company put out quite a few sets this year, as compared to prior years:

Capt. Scarlet, Four Feathers, Secret Service, Prisoner, Space 1999, and the Year Set all came out, and now these 2.

Saint Series 1 came out in mid-December of last year, so that was technically 2017

Did I miss any ?

Both Saint 2 and Persuaders are limited to 1200 boxes, each

For each set, there is a Roger Moore auto in every 8th box, according to the Unstoppable website

Does anyone know if Persuaders and Saint 2 are definitely shipping next week ?

Tom, the Unstoppable website now says shipping Nov 12

Looks like UFO Series 2 is coming in late February, and Avengers in April.

Not sure about Thunderbirds.

Any news on the autograph lineup for UFO Series 2?
Thank you in advance.
