crazyjim Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 The FB post was posted March 6, 2021. Hope it's true and we get #208 soon.

What I said back then was not that #208 was being printed and mailed, but in answer to a subscription question, I replied "Your subscription will start with issue 208, which is in process of finalization and being sent to the printer. I'll post when the issue has been sent out. .". It generally takes several weeks to complete all that needs doing before an issue is ready to send off to the printers and the mailings begin. The printer would not receive the magazine for publication before all the necessary finalization steps are completed. I only post that an issue is being printed and mailed when it is actually happening. Your patience is appreciated.

I was pointing out that in mid-January you mentioned the magazine was in the process of being finalized and being sent to the printer, and nearly two months later it was actually being sent to the printer. Given the history of the magazine and the delays, I wasn't sure which was accurate and was slightly confused. I guess my expectations were that with a new team in place, the magazine would be appearing in a more timely fashion than before; 3 months between issues seems a bit long and makes it hard to stick to the schedule of 6 issues per year. Having worked in print production in the past, I know from experience that once you get behind, getting caught up is extremely difficult.

HI Mike, We're tirelessly working on getting the magazine on a regular schedule as it once was. We still have a number of hurdles to overcome given where the magazine was and where it is now,, and I won't discuss those here. We do, however, continue to ask for your patience as these are sorted out, so we can continue to provide you with the best and most relevant car modeling magazine possible. Best regards,

Issue #207 is at the printers and will be in the mail to our subscribers and at our dealers shortly! The long wait is over! Best regards, I just received my 208 in the mail (GREAT issue BTW, guys! ), the last issue that I got was 206, so I waited and waited for 207, but never received my copy (of course I didn't know this until 208 arrived yesterday) ?♂️?
