The price of the original Wing Commander game has increased over the past year as DOSBox has decreased the need for Kilrathi Saga. The prices fluctuate quite a bit though. Last week I was able to grab an entire WC1 Deluxe for $15 after shipping. I've also seen them bid up to $90 over the last month.



​
This week someone listed the box and instructions on eBay. No game disks were included, but the wonderful Claw Marks book and fighter blueprints came with it. The final bid was $15. That's definitely not as good a deal as I got, but everyone should be stocking up on WC1 manuals if they plan to assault Claw Marks author Aaron Allston for autographs at DragonCon this year.

I also recently purchased a copy of Wc1 Delux, with all the blueprints, Claw Marks, and Secret Missions 1 and 2.
 
Great, you should pick out a convention where Aaron Allston is signing and get him to autograph your Claw Marks.
 
It`s nice to read abut myself in wcnews! I`m the one who bought that plans and box from ebay. It was all about the blueprints! I have wing1 Polish edition and sadly, its without them.. Well the Claw Marks is missing from my colection too so I`m looking foward to have it back! Now I must complete my "collection" of books. I only have one: Fleet Action. It seems to be difficult, because I will have to get them from US I think.Sending it to Poland isn`t cheap! Do You know how much it costs? I`ve never bought a thing from US. I only have the Internet for 1 month :)

It's good to see new fans still coming online to express their devotion to the series. Your best bet is to try to find a lot of several books together on eBay. Individual book postage would probably be about $5, but that's subject to minimum postage fees. Half a dozen books together probably wouldn't cost much more to ship.
