I was about to start the topic, luckily i found this thread. I'm collecting too. Can we have a namelist of the collectors shall we? thumbup.gif

Btw, I already subscribed for Issue 2 and 3 via the website and paid RM29.90. Do I get all the freebies when my delivery come or just the cap?

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

I think that's it. Got 'scammed' a bit by the ad on their brochures that if you subscribe you'll get all of them. sweat.gif

So for my first subscription (Issue 2 free Issue 3), I'll get only the cap right? Then for my next subscription I'll get the binder and so on? unsure.gif

85 issues? so you gotta pay more than rm2500 to finish the kit? @@

I checked with them. Yup, it's RM2.2k++ sweat.gif But, if we manage to complete it, man what an achievement! biggrin.gif

Anyone knows how much a Kyosho 1:8 McLaren MP4-23 car would cost if it's a la carte?

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.
*
So meaning here I have no choice but to complete my payment (pay the RM169.40 balance) in order for me to "really confirm" the order?

huh you dont wanna start now? cuz you'll need to wait for the glue to harden before moving on to the next part, if me sure kelam kabut tongue.gif
thanks, everybody will get the same nice assemblies anyway haha biggrin.gif
means that you'll need to pay rm169 upfront first?
*
I think.. I already paid RM29.90 for Issue 2 with free Issue 3. The statement somehow said I need to pay RM169.40 more (total RM199.40 for Issue 2 till 9 with all the freebies)..

wow...you really subscribe the whole thing? Is it possible to cancel halfway? Or maybe by the 5th issue whistling.gif
*
Nope. I just want to subscribe the Issue 2 only since on the paper brochure it said "subscribe Issue 2 and you'll get Issue 3 for free plus free 3 items!".. Seems it's not the way it is.. Seems like I have to subscribe a minimum of 8 issues totaling RM199.30 because I pay using online transfer.. sweat.gif Anyway, I do intend to complete all the series.. But my priority is the freebies, get them all first, after that buy from Popular also can.. biggrin.gif

well, if you calculate the first two issues at 29.90 (9.90 + 19.90) and the rest at 29.90...yeah, you are saving a little - about 10 bucks. But you do get all the goodies and a free issue. So this promotion is a good thing for collectors.

Do you have the terms and conditions for the subscription?
*
Yeah, the saving is one thing, but the freebies is kinda premium on its own.. smile.gif AFAIK, if you opt to pay via online banking/transfer like me, you have to at least subscribe to 8 issues per subscription.. The first 8 issues not including Issue 1 calculation are as follows..

Issue 2 - Issue 9 = RM199.30
Issue 10 - Issue 17 & per 8 issues onwards = RM239.20

Hope that helps..

Was into it when they launched it earlier in the year... but then they stopped at #5 because of some dispute (?).
#1-4 should let you complete the nose cone and the front wheels.

Nice collection there bro. nod.gif I did asked them, and they said the earlier release is just to test the market. Don't know if that's the real reason.

Nah, I already made subscription.. nod.gif You should try assemble them. You'll get a complete front wing, and then find a custom display stand. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(edwardc @ Sep 27 2011, 12:26 AM)
I hope the really re-launch it for real this time cause this 1/8 scale is freaking awesome and I desperately want it! But those issue 1 available at the store now all look like od stock, like they wanna clear.

I subscribed already last time, even visited the All Script office personally but I wonder if I need to subscribe again for the freebies. Haih
*
Maybe old stock, they just change the brochure for the date change. Anyway, order now before it's too late. Hehe.

QUOTE(Aeon_Clock @ Sep 27 2011, 02:17 AM)
can we confirm that credit card payers will only be charged as the issue is released and delivered?
and the free issue through subscription...is it only issue #2...or your next issue as in if you subscribe for issue #5, issue #6 will be free?
*
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

So, only for the 1st time subscriber is eligible for the "next issue for free" thing? What a loop hole if like that.. laugh.gif

Update: AllScript has confirmed my payment and has created an account number for my future use/subscription. I paid a total of RM199.30 for Issue 2 - Issue 9. They'll deliver the 1st freebies (McLaren cap) together with my 1st shipment (Issue 2, 3, 4).

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.

What about Tamiya and Revell? laugh.gif So how many of you already subscribed for this?

yea just saw a whole stack at mph mid valley yesterday,

anyway the "midget" small screw driver that comes with issue 1 is really soft, mine rounded off already and the screw is not even half way in, so better if you guys get your own screw driver, i think its size is #00
*
Really? ohmy.gif Will get a proper screwdriver later for the job. Heh heh. Tanx for the heads up. icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(yoshiishi @ Sep 28 2011, 01:41 PM)
Is it made of plastic or metal?
*
From the brochure, the screws are metal. But the screwdriver might me made from something softer, referring to XP750's experience.
