mrm Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Hi everyone. Not only my hobby shop is about 100 miles from me, but they….well……not very happy... Anyway, I have great trouble getting magazines where I live. There are a million and one magazines about mountain living or how to paint my kitchen around, but nothing about models. However, I have somehow managed to collect all the Contest Annuals from both model magazines for the last 10 years or so. Now I am having really hard time locating the 2014 issue of the Model Cars contest annual. Can someone please help me get one! TIA
Harry P. Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Call the Denver office and tell them what you need. 303.296.1600
Ramfins59 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Michael, try subscribing to the magazines and then you'll never miss an issue.
mrm Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 Is this the latest contest annual issue, or is there something that came out after that? Because in 2010, there were two separate things. One was the Feb/March Contest issue and the other was called Best of Contests or something like that. Is this the case this year or the one on the picture is the one and only?
jbwelda Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 well from looking at the cover, it appears to be the feb/mar 2014 issue, #184, and then below proclaimed to be the CONTEST ISSUE 2014. based on those observations, I would say they were one and the same. jb
Harry P. Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Yes, that's the latest. The next one will be the 2015 edition.
mrm Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 Ha!. Then I've had it all along. My hobby shop then is talking about I don't know what. They said they got it and it sold out. I thought it was some different special edition. Well, problem solved then. Thank you for the help.
jbwelda Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 ah you probably got it. look for a pile of torn up paper stuffed in the back of your mailbox. that's why I no longer subscribe jb

LDO Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) I have never gotten a torn-up issue of MCM. I have subscribed for two years. It has to be a problem on your end...unless Gregg is telling USPS to tear up YOUR copies. Yes, that was sarcasm. Seriously- if it is just a few people whose magazines get torn up, it has to be happening on their end. Edited November 5, 2014 by LDO
LDO Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Just called the number posted by Harry. The issue is on its way to me. Thanks MCM and Golden Bell.
mrm Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 There are few magazines that I buy pretty much every issue of. Street Rodder, Forza, Rodder's Journal, Model Cars and yes, that other magazine……And I don't subscribe to any of them. First of all there is some sort of mazochistic pleasure in going to the store looking for your magazine and finding out they don't have it and then going again a week later, 'till you get it. Then I think that altho it costs more this way, buying it from a small brick and mortar store is doing a good deed to your community. My local book store "the Book Train" carries all the magazines I care about except Model Cars. This store is very nice part of my neighborhood and I like having it two blocks from home. And if everyone just subscribes to their favorite magazines, they will most likely go out of business. My measly three magazines a month may not be much, but I like to think that I make a difference, as small it may be.
jbwelda Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 >I have never gotten a torn-up issue of MCM. I have subscribed for two years hey good for you! now don't try to minimize other peoples bonafide experiences, please. thank you. jb

He apparently thinks your money has cooties, so he has your copies mangled. Makes perfect sense.
