Latest MCM issue?

[David G.]

I was looking over my copies of MCM and I noticed that the most recent issue is December 2015. Is that the most recent or did I miss January 2016?

Thanks

David G.

No January 2016 yet for me.

[David G.]

I'm still a little concerned about not receiving the January issue of MCM.

Are they on hiatus or something? I mean we're almost halfway through 2016.

Thanks,

David G.

It's a money problem. As in having the money to print the next issue. Don't know exactly when (or even if) that's going to happen. I don't want to speak for Gregg... he's the one who should be updating you all on the exact status of the magazine, so I won't say any more.

[David G.]

Thanks Harry, I was concerned that I missed an issue or two. Sometimes knowing makes the waiting easier.

You didn't miss an issue. Believe it or not, December 2015 is the latest issue.

Hopefully there will be an update on the situation soon.

That's too bad...I've been thinking about subscribing as a way to support the forum (and I'm sure there's a lot of good information that I could benefit from). I hope they get the issues resolved soon, at least for existing subscribers. If a decision-maker from MCM happens to read this, I'll make this suggestion again. I think it would be worth looking into what would be needed to offer a digital subscription. I think there should be minimal cost to do so considering you must already have a digital version before it goes to the printer, and you could offer like a $5 or so annual discount to encourage people to get the digital version (no printing, shipping, packaging costs, so the discount would pay for itself), and it'd be a way to expand your subscriber base to the newer "digital" generations, or those of us who don't want to store stacks of old magazines in the basement. I know there are a lot of "I prefer the paper in my hands" guys out there, but I think there are also a lot of us who prefer digital versions, for a variety of reasons.

I received my January 2016 Issue yesterday and from the little bit I've seen it looks awesome! Thanks Gregg and Harry!

Glad you like it... and very sorry for the ridiculous delay. But things behind the scenes have been in turmoil, to say the least.

[Harry P.]

By now I assume most of you have received the latest issue?

[plastic trucker]

Not yet.

Got mine yesterday and it is the first issue of my new subscription. I know a lot of folks have been upset that it has taken so long, I am not one of those folks. I would much rather the owner take it slow and steady until he gets it up and running efficiently again. No need rushing things to the point where the whole thing, including this forum, fails and has to be shut down.

I received the January issue yesterday.

I saw the latest issue at our club meeting tonight, and will pick up mine when I visit the hobby shop next week.

Received mine yesterday, all bagged and wonderful.

Woo Hoo, got mine yesterday and have read it from cover to cover.  Now what do I do until the next issue arrives?

Build more models?

Not yet although it usually gets up here a little later than the lower 48. I'm hoping it gets here before our postal service goes on strike. But that could happen as early as Monday so I'm not holding my breath.

Got mine today.  Paid for 9 issues of the mag assuming that would be one year's worth of publication.  At the present rate of receiving this mag, one issue every 7 months I guess my subscription is good for about the next 4 years?

I received my copy yesterday (excellent as usual).... in a plastic wrap none the less. Thanks for all of your hard work Gregg, Harry, and crew!

I haven't received mine yet, just west of Philadelphia.  Upon reading this thread I anticipated getting it today, but the udder magazine came instead!  I guess it will be in the mailbox on Tuesday.

Dairy Farmer's Gazette?

Are you milking this thread Harry?

(I received issue #201 on Saturday.)
