Danno Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Excellent issue! Mine arrived last Thursday and I couldn't put it down until I finished reading all the articles and studying a couple of them. Another Three Wows! issue!! (That's graded on a scale of one to four, and no one ever gets a four.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'd say it pegs a solid 11 wows, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsipes Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I always get mine about a month after you guys do and the covers are always ripped to pieces. Must be the mailman wanting to read something good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Got mine a week or so back, arrived in fine shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I always get mine about a month after you guys do and the covers are always ripped to pieces. Must be the mailman wanting to read something good? The back cover of mine was about 50% missing... and what was left of it was torn up and wrinkled.

Gregg Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thanks, guys. The issues are getting better and better every month. And, please people, can you keep the sarcasm on the delivery schedule down? I am doing the best I can, and this constant berating does not help. I understand your frustration, and I appreciate your patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Also, the office is requesting that anyone who has received their copy of the magazine to contact them, and they will send a replacement, but they are also requesting that the damaged magazine be returned to the office. They are working on getting I guess you could call it evidence together for this problem. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan S. Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Got mine yesterday also. I had some slight damage to the back cover, but not enough to be concerned about. If it gets worse I'll let the publisher know. Great issue btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbwelda Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 really though, nice issue. i liked the article on the ferrari build, the resin stuff and i always enjoy that diecast roundup at the end. i just subscribed after 10 or more years of buying at the LHS (RIP) and my two issues so far have been in decent shape considering the PO' s general handling. good work as usual!
