Wondering if anyone has got to the final part of the build yet ?
do the admins / mods know if any of the last packs have shipped yet ?

i am asking as i do not know when the first pack shipped and this month i have a birthday coming up. kind of hoping i can get near a finished build this month if the last packs can be shipped this month ??

want to get this guy fully built and able to show him to some friends who have been following my build at work and on facebook

The final packs are shipped in accordance with your normal subscription delivery, they are not shipped any sooner just because it’s heading toward the end.

Issue 87 is due to go on sale on the 5th Sept, therefore another 13 weeks to go after 87 before you reach the end (if you already have up to 86) and even so, Newsagent customers will be complete ahead of Subscribers as they will be 13 weeks off the end by the 5th Sept, in effect it’s still 3 months away.

Just a shame your not also sharing your build on the forum...

C/S will be able to provide you with the info of when your next pack is to be shipped.

the build diary is always ahead of the public build for many reasons.

i started right at the beginning, the earliest anyone will finish is the end of this year.

so do you mean you are getting month 22 issues 85 to 88 and next month you will get 89 to 92 ?

i have a spreadsheet listing the issues and the months and that is what i see in my sheet as how they ship each time.

if that's right i will be getting 21 and 22 nextweek if they have them in stock.

which will put us both on the same finish schedule if it works out BigGrin

im not sure what month delivery it is, i started my subscription at issue 2, so this month (September) i will receive issue 86, 87, 88 and 89. so those who started at issue 1 will be getting issue 85, 86, 87 and 88. October i will get 90, 91, 92 and 93. November i will get 94, 95, 96 and 97. December will 3 issues 98, 99 and 100 (because i started at issue 2), those who started as issue 1 will receive 4 issues in the final delivery. hope that all makes sense

i am in the UK, i get shipped 4 issues each month in the post from de agostini, but it is also available weekly in newsagents. our next delivery with issue 86, 87, 88 and 89 is due any day now, and i believe issue 88 will be available this week in newsagents.

Issue 91 is on sale Weds 3rd Oct - barring any supply hiccups at newsagents, the earliest you will have issue 100 is the 5th Dec.

The Official Build should be complete in the next 2-3 weeks Cool
