dino246gt Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Will I get it in the mail in Canada? I subscribed but never got my magazines, I mean no-one did, not just me. So will us with paid subscriptions get the new issues until our subscription runs out? If it's good, I'll subscribe again for future issues! So I just read further down that I will, so I'll wait and see. I DID like the magazine, so I'm sure I will like the new ones as well. Edited November 6, 2020 by dino246gt saw the answer to my question after I posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 With no hobby shops in my metro area, will there be an option to order a copy of the magazine directly from MCM? Will one of the online retailers carry it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyc Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I just canceled my subscription to FSM because it's FSM and no SA or MCM. I hope this issue gets this mag back on track - I may try to get this one instead if it looks viable. I'm really hoping it IS viable. MCM has been my favorite when I could get it. Therein is, of course, the rub. C'mon guys - I'm pulling for yas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll be pleased with it. Thanks and regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 You guys are lucky in the States whilst MCM is sorting itself out, as Model Car Builder is another available magazine (as I do not think that they have overseas subscribers), and Scale Auto was also another alternative up until its recent closure. We have a magazine named Truck Model World published in the UK and as far as I know it is the only automotive magazine published this side of the pond. I believe there is also an American truck modelling magazine who's title I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are bringing back some form of a "stictly stock" column - that was always where I went first to read about the kits I was about to buy. You may be a little busy, but kit reviews are very important to me in the model magazines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still doing the Kit Reviews for MCM as I have been for the past nineteen years. However, quite a few people have asked me to bring back "Strictly Stock" and its under consideration, but in a much more expanded form. I'll keep everyone posted.

Bugatti Fan Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Will copies be going on sale in the UK via WHSmith (UK equivalent to Barnes&Noble I believe)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very surprised if Smiths carry it, they stopped stocking Scale Auto a long time ago, and due to their financial problems more stores will be closing across the UK.

ratdoggy Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Here's my dumb question... Since I don't know anything about the magazine industry Is it more profitable to sell subscriptions or sales at hobby shops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriptions usually cost less than buying the same number of issues at a store. The real money is made from advertising. And the more magazines you sell, regardless of method, the more you can charge advertisers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
