RodBurNeR Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Here comes another "got mine" frenzy! I usually flip through real quick and then when everyone leaves me alone I will sit down and read. Well I flipped through this time to find the article by Brad Leisure on the '60 Starliner and Super Bee kits. I sat here and read it all the way through. I just wanted to say that's one of the more enjoyable articles I have read in awhile. It was almost like him sitting here telling me about it. Very well done! (not to mention I love REAL box art!) It's a great issue! I won't spoil it for anyone......GO GET ONE HURRY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Dwayne, it's NOT delivered by P.E. It's brought over by some lil Hawaiian dude, with BIG ARMS in one of them outrigger canoe thingies! THAT'S why we were gettin 'em so weird. I'm THINKIN Gregg mighta got the lil hawaiian dude a GPS, cas they really have been comin on time as of late. Gee ,technology, ain't it grand?

That explains why it takes a week and 5 days to get it in New England and 2 full weeks to Chi Town .. the poor dude has to keep paddling up the Erie Canal into the Great Lakes! Then 2 weeks back and start again. At least Gregg is efficient with time management. Someone send Gregg a 747 Model and maybe he'll see how technology has advanced since his Pony Express days.

Zoom Zoom Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 My issue made it here today in fine shape, my friend IM'ed me from Alpharetta GA and his got there today as well but very mangled, he had to call for a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMc Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Pennyhead! I never heard that one before... Not the land o cheese....Lincolnland!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I live in the land of cheese and I've never heard that either. Pennyhead maybe refers to the Lincoln head on it? I saw the issue at my LHS today. Loved the steam shovel article and the double kit with the Heller/AMT connection. I have the Heller version of the Alpine which is on the workbench now and I wish I had the Gordini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarnut Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I agree that it is an excellent issue. I got mine yesterday (5/15/09) in sunny downtown Perth Western Australia and, as always, in excellent condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the canoe guy is still paddling thru the Panama Canal to the East Coast and the Aussies get an outboard motor on their Canoe Delivery??? I want my, I want my, I want my MCM!!

Guest promodmerc Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 All the rain we are having in the Midwest must be pushing his canoe back down stream. I haven't received mine yet as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 ok... when a subscriber halfway around the world in Perth already has his, ans a subscriber smack dab in the middle of the good old US of A still doesn't have his, there is something seriously wrong with this picture!!! Maybe if I move to Indonesia or Nepal I'd get it sooner??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Actually, Australia is closer to Hawaii than Chicago, though I don't know where the mailing really originates from. The magazine is printed in and mailed from Denver. That's a heck of a lot closer to Illinois than it is to Australia!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FujimiLover Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Wow. So if I ordered the subscription I technically "SHOULD" have it instantly! LOL! Not sure I want to though, I picked up the last two issues and found'em some what dull. Interesting reads, but they didn't feature cars of my likeing. Oh well, still a cool magazine.............. I was impressed with the build of the carbon-clad Ferrari FXX, that was awesome! Edited May 16, 2009 by FujimiLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed with the build of the carbon-clad Ferrari FXX, that was awesome! I doubt you'll ever find a magazine of JUST the cars you want to see, but that's not the point of any of them. You can see techniques you can use in a Truck only model mag if what you crave is box stock cars from 1921. The magazine is pretty much this forum in print form ... but much shinier. .. and Gregg gets to wield his power completely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FujimiLover Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Oh I know that. It does have great tips and how-to's that can help you with your own special cars. It's like any tv show that we like. Some shows have great episodes, and other episodes suck! But overall, great stuff! If you want your mag that bad, go to your LHS and pick one up, and when you finally receive yours, give the spare to a friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 No MCM here yet! In fact, I am still waiting for a 2006 issue and a 2008 issue I never got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
