the way they print it you think you to pay it all in one go at least the price of the mag is the same for the next 2-1/2 years more than i can say about the paper prices go up for you to read the adverts{wonder what there comments would be if they run the advert for itHuh grate model for the price for instance]

I think it is good value for money and a great company Amarti who manufactured it, but I believe Hachette have shot themselves in the foot by not saying upfront there are 140 issues and by not disclosing at the same time how much the R/C conversion will cost.

I will still continue to purchase the series, but I think they should not have withheld this information.

Yep! picked mine up today also, although the newsagent hadn't put it by as I'd asked them too, women who was covering either didn't look in the right place or they forgot, had to recue the one out of the window. After checking to see that nothing had warped, I was happy to take it asking them to make sure future copies were put aside.
