I've been buying WI for a few years from my local hobby shop. A few months ago they started having trouble getting issues in. Stopped in today and they informed me their distributor is no longer able to get the magazine. I went to thewarstore and check their stock and all their issues say coming soon. Is there an issue with WI distributing lately? In an insane circumstance, living in the U.S. its actually cheaper to go to the local shop and pick up an issue than to subscribe (even though laughably they advertise that you save on cover price if you subscribe). Does anyone have a reliable source to pick up the magazines from? |

I (still) am a subscriber in the US. I received some of the latest issues only about 3-4 weeks (!) after the publishing date. Customer service was always very responsive, but I'm not sure if I will renew again when my subscription runs out. I am paying for something that I don't get (in time).
Thinking about electronic subscription, but not sure about it yet. And what about their new features? Prime and Interactive. Are they worth it? Which one would you suggest? |

I also subscribe to the print edition and am happy with it. |

The reviews are absolutely horrendous: link I'm waiting until WI manage to do what all the other publications manage to do and sell me a pdf to download. Until then I can wait, forever if necessary. |

Actually, I'm in the UK and the latest issue isn't in Smith's, as I only buy it once I've seen it in the flesh this is a disappointment. |
