dartman Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 I just got an email offering lifetime subscription to our favorite model magazine.Real or bogus I did not open till I checked it out here first.Anyone else get it?
SCRWDRVR Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 I don't think I have gotten the email, I'll have to look in my spam also, but I do know they are offering it, there is a post about it

Expand Not sure but on the home page for MCM there is a post office box listed in Hawaii for a mailing address. If you don't have a PayPal account, I am sure Gregg would take a check or money order for $150 lifetime subscription.
pt20094dr Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I think Gregg should fulfill all the subscription , that owes to people that has already pay
Vince Nemanic Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Guys, I have known Gregg for a couple of years longer than he brought out the magazine. He is an honest honorable guy. He has said numerous times that your subscriptions will be honored. If you have 5 issues left, you will get 5 issues. Maybe this will get all of your attentions. KNOCK OFF THE GRIPING ABOUT YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS !!!!!!!! YOU WILL GET THEM !!!!
slicks56 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Vince, its nice to see you stick up for your friend. Lets be honest, actions speak louder then words. A lifetime subscription to nothing is still nothing.
dartman Posted May 23, 2019 Author Posted May 23, 2019 Thanks,I hadent seen anything here but wanted to check.Thanks again for the info......
BigTallDad Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I think the cost of a lifetime subscription should be based on one's age...I'm 76 and not about to pay $150 for what might turn out to a few short years.

Expand If I were you, I would wait for the magazine to come out and buy it then. Given the past history, you would be money ahead, just my opinion.
oldnslow Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Signed up as soon as I received the e-mail . If that's all it takes to get things going in the right direction , I'm all in . You guys need to get off your butts and support the magazine , that's what got this form started and it needs us now .

bobthehobbyguy Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 The adage "No good deed go unpunished" truly applies here. Instead of commending Gregg on his perseverance to overcome a long list of hurdle he gets a kick in the head!!

Expand Same here except that I took the PayPal route. I have learned more about building models from this forum and its accompanying magazine than I have from all other sources combined. I truly enjoy coming to this forum and reading the posts and seeing all the photos that community members upload. It would be sad if all that went away. That's why I offer my support, not derision, pessimism and skepticism. Support- for something that I very much wish to see continue. Thanks, David G.
Tom Geiger Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Ya know... what bothers me here is the number of people that will come to this forum and eat the free food off the man's table... and then use that table to ridicule him! IF you are in, it's good to support it. If you aren't, it's good to keep your mouth shut on the man's board. Show a minuscule amount of respect!

KNOCK OFF THE GRIPING ABOUT YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS !!!!!!!! YOU WILL GET THEM !!!! Expand I don't think it is griping as much as expecting to get what you have paid for. There are numerous posts on this board about members not getting what they have paid for whether it be from resin casters, sellers on eBay or Facebook, or even their end of a trade, and I have seen some that start complaining when it is not on their doorstep in a day or two after the purchase or trade. If you have truly been a friend of Gregg's since before the magazine came out, then you should also be aware the magazine has had a history of being late through the years, not three years late as it is now, but still late regardless and not only those on this forum know that. I had a case almost 15 years ago, 15 YEARS, where I had asked one of my local shops that carried every other hobby related magazine including model railroad interest magazines and R/C magazines to carry MCM. The shop that I normally bought the magazine from had closed for a while after being devastated by a flood, so I couldn't get MCM for a time while that shop was recovering from the flood. The other shop owner had said after I asked him to carry MCM "I won't carry it because the publishcation schedule is so erratic I never know when the next issue will come in." I'm sure there are many issues of the magazine from years ago I would be able to find in the editor's corner where it has been said by Gregg "I'm going to get the magazine back on schedule" or something to that effect and it never seems to happen.

The years I have been on the forum are well worth the money I just spent on the offer. Most of us will spend more than this just on the New release trucks and cars before the end of the year.
