Yep, me, too! I got from my father the 1st editions from no. 1 up to 450. I myself got the Perry Rhodan books from 1 to 69. When I finished till the end, I start again. Intersting, what ideas for the future they already had in the 60th.

Hey Frank! You are absolutely right, these books are great! I have finished the "Meister der Insel" and i´m in the "M 87", now! But especially the first books, when Atlan appears, are very interesting and are worth to read them often!

Yes - it's a never ending story and it faszinates me about more than fourty years. From this time on I'm a SF&F-Fan too. Take a look at the new start of PR called "Perry Rhodan Neo". Absolutely top!!!

@Frank: The friend i´m talking about, started reading 1991. So you can imagine how much he read in this time, to get close to the actual issues!

I've never heard of Perry Rhodan. I checked my Kindle and see only German editions. Is it translated in English?

Hello Patrick,
its translated in nearly every language on the world. It the oldest SF-Story ever made, from the 1960´s.😢

I remember Perry from the 70's/80's. Only 15 or so were ever translated to finnish, which is actually sad, because my german is very bad, and I really liked the stories. Maybe I should start hunting down english versions...

Yeah, Holger is right. PURE FUN! I'm presently with book 21...for the third time. There is also one movie existing, but unfortunately not in today's Star Wars Quality..

The old movie "Perry Rhodan - SOS aus dem Weltraum" is straight horrible!
You don't miss the film!!! - PR is a weekly drug for me. It's SF in cinemascope 🙂

The first 300 I've got from my father but then I had to buy PR from my own money 🙁 In the meantime I read it as an ebook, because I need the place for kits and my model railroad... 🙂 🙂

Place, time and money is what all of us needs😢🙂!
PS: Being a single is sometimes an advantage for modeling😢

What a pitty that there are not that much plastic-model-kits from PR (aside paper + metal kits). Unfortunately PR has not a world-wide hype like Star Trek or Star Wars.
I tried to scratch OLD MAN out of Styren - but this is still an project. Maybe someday ...

Well - I don't have it on my mind. I bought a transpartent half-ball and measured/scaled the other parts of OLD MAN from the drawings and available texts. The main problem was/is to add details on a round/bended surface ....

I know! I added this paper-model here on SM. It was designed by a fellow of mine. But paper is not my material. I need styren or resin with 3 dimensions ...

Same for me. I have some experiance with papermodells but its too longlasting for me to build them! I made the "Graf Spee" in 1:300, really a big but detailed beast!
