Quote from user: AzureBlueOut of curiousity, are there any specific issues that have enough merit to seek out in particular?
Well, they tend to be pretty hit-or-miss, but if you like mouse stories, the obvious answer is MMA11, featuring Scarpa's classic "Delta Dimension." Aside from that, though, I dunno--there are very few of them that don't feature at least one decent story, but I wouldn't say there are too many real deathless classics--stories that stick in your mind and demand to be returned to. However, one that impressed me in particular--to the extent that I remember it well enough to cite it, at least!--is [url=http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+98002]"Ghostdusting for Fun and Profit" in DDA6. It's a ghost story that doesn't undermine itself with excessive, gratuitous silliness, as these things too-often do.

Well, no, and I said as much, didn't I? :p But given that the two Adventures titles are very close companions to each other, with stories drawing from the same pool, it seems extremely likely that if you like the one you'll also like the other.

$200 incl. shipping is an OK deal.
Condition of the comics?

Maltese and reads Norwegian. That is impressive :)
But I guess you are Norwegian?

As long as you can read Norwegian, I would also recommend the Norwegian "Donald Duck forum", Andebyonline/Kvakk.no.

Picking between Delta Dimension and Mickey Mouse and the World to Come, which should I get? (For the time being I'm probably going to just buy one of them). It would cost be 6 to get World to Come and 10 or 11 (unless you know of a cheaper price anywhere) to get MMA11

I contacted a seller in the USA who is willing to sell me all the 21 issues for 200 dollars (including shipping). Would you say this is a good deal?

Also, yeah, I'm mostly interested in issue number 3 (the one were donald, mickey and goofy set out on a role-playing adventure). This is because I remember reading the story 'Det Magiske Septeret' in Norwegian, and it was in my opinion one of the best stories written. But that's just out of the 239 norwegian Donald Pocket issues I have.
Considering you live in Malta, yes, take it.

Who's the seller by the way?
Please don't snatch the deal from my hands lol.

It is Mile High Comics.
Oh no I wasn't planning on it. Mile high is a good site.

Man, "Delta Dimension" and "World to Come" are both stone-cold classics. You can't go wrong either way. The former is funnier; the latter has a more epic feel.
You certainly could get a French version of the former, but from my perspective, it would be worth getting the English version for Dave Gerstein's sweet script. I think it really adds a lot.

In 1998, Hachette decided to commemorate Mickey's seventieth anniversary by printing a classic Scarpa story in each issue for the year (issues 217-228). Most of them haven't been published in the US, and most are good. Oh what else...just looking through issues I have lying around, 198 for a good Goofy/Witch Hazel Bottaro story, 117 for a cool Carpi science-fiction-y duck story, and to round things off, this one for a Bottaro story that (the "voluntary castaway" one) that I like a lot only partly because it's the first one I ever read in French.
But really, I'm no kind of expert, in spite of undeniably having an ego that makes me want to insist I am (what to say to someone whose ego is wrapped up in Disney comics? I cannot imagine). You poke around on inducks and ebay.fr, take some chances, you're sure to find some good stuff (and some really awful stuff, but that just goes with the territory).
UPDATE: Ooh, also, not an MP issue, but you should totally get Scarpa's great Robin Hood duck story in a handsome hardcover album.
