Dunno how it is about americaland, but over here in germanyland it usually ends up at international airports only with a hefty delay and an even heftier price hike. But at least you can get it images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

I don't know about a random newsstand, but I've seen TG mags with DVDs occasionally at Borders.

And a giant round of applause to everyone here at the forums, especially Viper, Quicky, SL65, and the rest of the team. images/smilies/clap.gif

In Aussie-land my subscription mag (until recently) barely arrived intact, let alone with any of the freebies. Recently they've got a better quality plastic bag which means it's not arriving torn and mangled. We're seeing more free stuff attached to the Oz version of the mag in the shops, nothing with the UK version (at least in my neck of the woods).

I'm still pissed I didn't get the magnet cars.

I didn't get the free dvd with the march TGA mag, becuase I got the subscription. But even better, they left it on the top of my mailbox (which is in a brick wall sort of thing), and I caught some kid trying to nick it when I got home (god, I went offf at him- "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT COSTS??????"). This month they folded it in half and shoved it the malbox and partially shredded the cover.
Don't know which way of deivery I prefer really. But yeah, I want freebies, dammit!!!! images/smilies/sad.gif

A friend picks mine up usually every month when he has to go to the big city for business and I have never gotten a DVD with one.

I had a subscription until last year, never got the "freebies" with that either which is why I no longer subscribe.

It is expensive at borders, but gives me about 2 weeks of reading and when you figure I can usually read a magazine in one day or less, it is worth it.

Richmondgal · March 29th, 2009, 9:34 AM

It's stupid that they don't get the freebies if you subscribe. If you pay around $80 a year for 12 issues, surely you can get the extras?

Anyway, back on topic: Hooray for Final Gear.

skylock · March 29th, 2009, 10:02 AM

My son gave it to me for mother's day and it ran about $165.00 for 13 issues US. It was actually a little more expensive to subscribe and still no freebies.

My friend has to go to a horribly congested part of town to get to Borders, so I would prefer to subscribe, but at this point, when I get it I am happy, otherwise, no big deal.

But I will make a point of getting this issue.

krypt0 · March 29th, 2009, 10:08 AM

cool

ladora · March 29th, 2009, 11:27 AM

sorry to partially hijack this thread, but while we're on the subject of the TG mag, has anyone outside of the UK been able to get their hands on TG's special F1 Edition that was released 2 weeks ago or so?

Alasondro Alegré · March 29th, 2009, 12:01 PM

So that thread was at 10,677 views at the time of writing, yesterday it was close to 12,000 and now it's past 17,000!

I believe they had it at my "random" newsstand where I picked up the March issue of TG mag. I didn't grab F1 as well because it would have been too much to haul home on the bus. images/smilies/smile.gif

(Yes, I am a TG addict, but I commute by public transport. By "bendy bus" no less.)

oho, nice. FG gets some love.

(Also for those on about the free stuff - it depends on the publisher/distributor, sometimes newsagencies get the freebies, sometimes Borders or supermarkets get the freebies but airfreight versions will rarely ever come with freebies, because airfreight titles are destroyed after onsale ends, not shipped back to the publisher like they might do in country of origin).

Viper007Bond · March 30th, 2009, 11:24 AM

My copy of the mag gets shipped to me directly from the UK via airmail, so the freebie might show up here magically if it's really wanted.
