                    The IndieGoGO US orders have been slower than I would have liked, shipped directly to USPS on the 20th, I was promised five-day turnaround and it turned into like ten plus as USPS is apparently in bad shape right now.

                    Copies started showing up last Friday, mainly it seems in the midwest and on the East coast, so I imagine more will appear this week. I get more and more relieved when I see people posting those white envelopes.

                    For issue 2, I've found a new service, it's slightly more expensive but seems far more efficient.

                              I got my copy a couple of days ago and I love it. Thanks so much for putting this together Brian. If anyone has a love for the toys featured or just love holding a quality magazine in your hands that has beautiful photographs about toys you shouldn't hesitate on getting this.
                              I used to be really into collecting toy magazines but I had made my piece with the fact those days were probably done. I'm very happy that I jumped on board and eagerly await the next issue.
