malaysia do have subscription, http://www.buildmclaren.com.my/
but i cant access the link  hmm.gif

checked that there's 65 issues

Actually it's 85 issues. (from UK models forums)
1st issue = RM9.90
2nd = RM19.90
3rd-85th = RM29.90

It comes 4 times a month

I have subscribe through their website (but dunno how long I'm gonna subscribe). Note that if you subscribe you'll get
Free
1. Next issue (if you start issue 2, you'll get free issue 3)
2. McLaren cap
3. Steering 1/4 scale replica
4. Book Binder

Even if I subscribe 8-9 issues only, if I can complete the front parts of the car, it's fine. I can display the front parts only. whistling.gif

If you check their website, your first delivery you'll received the free cap/free issue. 2nd received the binder, 3rd = the steering replica.

Think of it, a McLaren cap for RM19.90? brows.gif

I just got an email of confirmation from Allscript staff. I'm asking her whether with the paid RM29.90 I can get all the freebies together with my Issue 2 and Issue 3 or not.

She did state there that I have a balance of RM169.40.. Not sure why is that.. Awaiting clarification..

Bro, from their email, if pay through online banking or cheque, you need to pay for 8 issues. If pay by credit card, it's paid per issue.

can we confirm that credit card payers will only be charged as the issue is released and delivered?
Taken from their email to me.
QUOTE
For McLaren Magazines, we will send 4 issues every month. Therefore credit card payment will only be charge 4 issues per month.

Nope. Only if you subscribe starting from Issue 2 then Issue 3 will be free. If you stop at Issue 3, then some later time you subscribe again, you'll not get the next issue for free. That's what the staff brief me yesterday through a call.
Ask your friends help la..after you cancel, used your friend name & address to subscribe. whistling.gif

That's Amalgam bro. This F1 is Kyosho. Amalgam's 1:8 car cost around 15K.

In F1 world, Amalgam is more like Vettel while Kyosho is probably Renault driver.

Tamiya & Revell? FYI, Amalgam's details is much2 more superior than most high-end car models company like Autoart, Kyosho, Minichamps & even BBR/MR.

Amalgam's Ferrari

Courier fee RM30 for issue 3 - 9. 1 issue is given "free" as they said so average down around RM29.80 per issue including courier fees. 7 issues RM179.40.  yawn.gif
Least its reasonable but really turn off sometimes wanna subscribe stuff, always got extra charge to send to east side. Even Doraemon book + RM2 for shipping per book. Become RM7 per book. Go bookstore buy cheaper. Bleh!  doh.gif

Subscription got free gift maa.
