larrygre Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 We've gotten quite a few inquiries about subscriptions since we announced the reboot of MCM some time ago. I'd like to take this opportunity to answer all the outstanding subscription questions. 1. EXISTING SUBSCRIPTIONS Those of you who have a subscription to MCM still in force (in other words, if there are issues left on your subscription) will receive the new magazine going forward. Gregg has informed me that you can check the status of your own subscription. The mailing label on your last delivered issue (on the bag the magazine came in) will show the issue number of your last subscription issue. Please note we go by issue number, not cover date. For example, if you bought a one year subscription and your first delivered issue was #201, then the label will show your final issue (if not renewed) would be #206. Direct Inquiries to Gregg regarding subscription status may result in a delay at this time. Any questions regarding subscriptions should be sent to subscribe@modelcarsmag.com. 2. NEW AND RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTIONS After careful consideration, there will be no change to the subscription rates until January 2021. The current rates are as follows: USA DOMESTIC SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (6 issues) - $30.00 USD Two years (12 issues) - $50.00 USD Three years (18 issues) - $75.00 USD FOREIGN (OUTSIDE OF USA) SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year Foreign (6 issues) - $55.00 USD Two Years Foreign (12 issuies) - $95.00 USD Subscriptions can be purchased online at https://www.modelcarsmag.com/subscribe/ using a credit card or PayPal. Those wishing to purchase their subs with checks or money orders may mail those, along with their mailing information, to: Model Cars Magazine, LLC P.O. Box 161179 Honolulu, HI 96816 3. DIGITAL SUBSCRIPTIONS/DOWNLOADS We are aware of a desire for digital subscriptions to MCM. We are in process of arranging such, and these will be offered some time in the near future. When such become available, we will announce them here on our Forums. Thats about it for now, friends. Thanks for keeping the faith with us!
maltsr Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Thanks Larry. It's great to see that overseas subscriptions are available, and on that basis I've just subscribed - looking forward to receiving my first issue! I've been reading your columns since the Car Modeller days, so I can't wait to see what you have in store for us. Edited October 29, 2020 by maltsr
stitchdup Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 I'll be subscribing next payday, looking forward to having something to read thats model cars

I'm pretty excited about the new MCM. We've got a fabulous team in place that loves the magazine, loves the model hobby, and is determined to bring back the spirit of the original Scale Auto Enthusiast magazine. It will only get better and better as we go forward, and I'm basing that on the great work the team has done so far. As for me, look for expanded kit reviews, some major articles of interest, and some meaty features on replica stock automobiles. And that's just for starters! Best regards,

TonyK Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Thanks for the update. Always like kit reviews for the help that's given when building the model and it gives me info on whether or not I'm going to buy the kit so I definitely look forward to this part of the magazine.

Classicgas Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Once the magazine is up and running i will most likely subscribe. Will there be any news stand or hobby shop distribution?
Nazz Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Just purchased my Canadian subscription. Thank you all for filling the void and reviving this magazine! I appreciate all the hard work it takes to create a magazine like this . I am looking forward to receiving my first of many copies . Jerry

charlie8575 Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 I'll be subscribing end of the week, I think....providing I actually get paid. Charlie Larkin
Super28 Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 I bought a lifetime subscription. Wil it still be honored?
Bugatti Fan Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Would like to see MCM become available over the counter at WH Smith's ( UK Equivalent of Barnes and Noble I guess) on this side of the pond like FSM is regularly.

Ron Warner Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 I'm new to this forum, and retuning recently to the hobby. Reading this thread, and the others in this section, I feel like I missed something. I assumed the magazine was putting out a monthly issue (or quarterly or however it comes out) but it sounds like there is a problem? I've looked and I don't see any publisher statement type things about it. With Scale Auto Enthusiast being discontinued, I was thinking of subscribing to this one but now I'm not sure if that's a good plan. Can someone give a "quick update on why there are 3 threads about subscription updates" for those of us just tuning in? Did the magazine change owners or something? COVID problems? If that's explained somewhere, could someone post a link? Thanks.
