Danno Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Got a message from Gregg. Model Cars Magazine will be on sale on the newsstand at Barnes & Noble starting with the upcoming July issue! Finally! After all this time, his perserverance pays off! Go get one. Buy 'em out. Even if you subscribe, buy another one off the B&N newsstand to give to a friend or donate to a kids' club or school. Just buy 'em out. Let's show B&N what they've been missing by not stocking MCM before now. Congrats to the Big Kahuna and all the gang and staff at MCM and Golden Bell!
charlie8575 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Hopefully, I'll have enough money to start buying magazines again come July... This is indeed good news. Charlie Larkin
Guest Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Nearest Barnes & Noble to me is an hour and half drive. I could almost pay for a subscription for the cost of gas. My not so local hobby shop has MCM occasionally. But they are always way out of date. A few months ago they had some that were a year old. The really sad part was they still wanted full price for one.
Guest Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 that is because Golden Bell will not buy them back, we get stuck with the ones that dont sell, so either we sell them at full price, or take a hit and discount them. My store takes a hit and donates them. Ah. That could explain why they were a year old!
moparmagiclives Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Sweet deal, now they won't look at me like I'm stupid when I ask about it now !!!

camaroman Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 ATTENTION... Some of you guys that have stores with left overs! I am still looking for a good copy of last years (2011) contest issue... I will make it worth your while to send me a copy!
martinfan5 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 First time I've ever heard of a store having leftovers. Around here, the only places that carry MCM never have enough for the demand. Which LHS here carrys it?, I have not seen it in the two HB's , but could be they were sold out
Joe Handley Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 We only order 6-10 copies, we are lucky to sell 3 You've got to be kidding!? We can't keep them in stock and most of the time they're gone before I can get my own copy, I've already had somebody calling to see if the new one was in yet!
mikemodeler Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 That is good news as my subscription has run out and finances are too tight for a renewal, so it just may be one copy at a time. It would be helpful to know when the new issues are shipped to save me from having to make multiple trips to the store until the get the magazine.
Dr. Cranky Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Bravo, that should get the magazine in to more hands. Congrats and I look forward to pleasantly running into it time and again.
crazyjim Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Sounds great for the July issue. Did I miss May and June?
camaroman Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I wonder if Gregg has thought about Hobby Lobby as a place for the magazine? They have a few magazines that they stock there.
paul alflen Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 GOOD JOB BIG KUHAUNA, NOW YOU WILL BE NATIONAL NEWSSTAND NEWS UNLIKE THAT OTHER MAGAZINE!!!!!!!!!!!
Rob Hall Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Which LHS here carrys it?, I have not seen it in the two HB's , but could be they were sold out I've bought it at Hobby Depot. GOOD JOB BIG KUHAUNA, NOW YOU WILL BE NATIONAL NEWSSTAND NEWS UNLIKE THAT OTHER MAGAZINE!!!!!!!!!!! Huh? SA has been available at B&N and other bookstores for years...
Guest Johnny Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Huh? SA has been available at B&N and other bookstores for years... Yep! and that means I'll occasionally get another magazine for free minus the upc barcode!
Danno Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 Which LHS here carrys it?, I have not seen it in the two HB's , but could be they were sold out HT USA in Gilbert, Hobby Bench 43rd & Bell, and Hobby Depot gets a few but sells out quickly.
Danno Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 Yep! and that means I'll occasionally get another magazine for free minus the upc barcode!
Jairus Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Cool! May/June (one issue) should be hitting our mail boxes soon if I miss my guess. And I got the SketchPad in the July issue to boot! Whoohoo!
Bowtienutz Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Good news but the closest B&N is an hour away. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to get one if by chance they don't sell out. I quit subscribing years ago because every issue arrived in my mailbox with the cover trashed, followed up by phone calls to Golden Bell Press saying it happened again. Funny thing is replacement copy never had damage. I sure enjoy all my digital magazines. No gas, no wear and tear on my car, no walking to my mailbox, Wake up Greg, get with the program go digital, after all lesser magazines are.
martinfan5 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Rob, Dan, thank you, I know I have asked before, I just never can remember which ones here sell it. SA has also been sold in supermarkets as well, Edited June 6, 2012 by martinfan5
Edsel-Dan Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 I use to be able to get an occassional MCM in th e'Hobby Stop" in Seaford, Del. but didn't see them or the Other one the last time I was able to got there. I have a B&N 32 miles north of me ans 15 miles closer than the Hobby Stop. I will start going there to look for the mag!! Why doesn't the publisher collect unsold issues to sell in the back issue order form??
