I've been tempted to order this for the first time, but in a post Brexit world I'm a bit reluctant. Anyone from Portugal here that ordered it? I'm afraid it might be stuck at customs.

Not been on the forum for a while, but stumbled across Issue 11 in WHS today, so bought it! And I'm glad I did! Only had change for a quick breeze through up until now, but looking forward to pouring over it at bedtime
So glad to see another Amiga magazine in print again. Got a feeling you'll be getting a new subscriber, PixelsAtDawn!! |

I hope sales go well enough to continue in Smiths - they are everywhere!

It's an odd state of affairs. Always has been. We all know it's better to subscribe to publications, for a number of reasons; better value for the subscriber, and a definite, quantifiable readership for the publication to sell advertising. But I've always loved the cathartic approach of strolling into a newsagent, buying a magazine, and then going for a quiet coffee somewhere and losing myself for the better part of the hour.
Then again, It's great to see that A4-sized envelope on your doormat on New Issue Day!! Totally looking forward to Issue 12! |

I bought issue 11 in the Reading WHSmith and then went to HMV. It felt like the 90s!

As for Gloucester, it should be there too. But I can't guarantee they haven't sold out - my local sold out and I don't exactly live in a city. As I understand, locations and stock amounts will be adjusted over time by the distributor based on sales. This is the first month as far as retail sales go for us, after all. |

The one thing that does get me (ever so slightly) miffed is that I see a lot of photographs on FB of people reading their Amiga-Addict mags bought in the shop, while I as a subscriber have not received mine yet. One of the perks of being a subscriber to a mag used to be that you received it about a week before it was out in the shops. I seem to receive mine (in the UK) at least a week later?
Apart from that - love the mag and very glad it is also available in the shops, which I hope will lead to a lot of people subscribing as well. |

What you do get as a subscriber is the guarantee you will get a copy (we get plenty of reports of people going into the shops to find it sold out), and also any extras we can give you (the disk labels, the recent RMC colouring book sample page) aren't available at retail. We'll be looking at other perks in the future. Obviously the situation is very different now than in the 90s, we're still understanding what that means for our supporters. We clearly want to reward people giving us long-term support however we can. Last edited by PixelsAtDawn; 24 May 2022 at 15:25. |

Thank you for your reply PixelsAtDawn - makes perfect sense now that you've explained it.
And I realise that as subscribers we also get access to the digital download, which we can read before the mags turn up at any shop. In any case, my copy has just arrived and I think it is yet another great issue. A big "thank you" to the whole team involved in its creation! |

Any chance the Magazine could be shipped in a plastic bag (similar to RetroGamer). I just received a very soggy issue #12 that is unfortunately destined for recycling.... I have placed another order to replace it, but would like to avoid this situation in the future. Thx

We're not currently planning to move to plastic wrapping. Plastic waste is a huge problem in modern society, and we are trying to keep our packaging as recyclable as possible - many other magazines are now starting to move over to paper packaging, at least in the UK. We're keeping an eye on any shipping problems and we'll make changes if we need to, but the issues are currently few and far between. |
