Enid Blyton's Adventure Magazines.

Just bought sixteen of these for £10.49 from ebay. I've been after these magazines for a while.
I think I've now got the full set?
Is this a good price?

Short-lived title focusing on characters from children’s novelist Enid Blyton’s adventure books, most notably the Famous Five. Seventeen issues were published, each one adapting one of the Famous Five novels to comic strip form, alongside other features.

I'm sure I've seen these in The Cave, but I can't seem to find them?

Thank you wolfgang - I was looking for ages.
Looks like I'm missing the very first issue from 1985 too if there are 17 in the full set!!

It's a bit misleading - there are 16 numbered issues plus the "pilot issue" .

Was that £10.49 each or for the set? If it was for the set you've had a bargain.
