Ive not got mine yet either would of been better of waiting for it to turn up in shops than preorder.Nothing more annoying than paying for a service and not get it.
I just hope its as good as people are saying it is so far.

The thing you have to remember guys is that once the mag is sent, its then down to the royal mail to deliver it 
now i know from personal experience that mail can be delayed or at worst lost the problem is that you cant blame the Scoobymag guys/gals because once it leaves their hands they are powerless as to how quickly it gets to you.
I think if you dont have it by the end of the week then moan about it...i guess i got lucky, as mine turned up pretty much as promised today, and it IS worth the read
So please, give it a chance, and try not to take it out on them......they HAVE sent it to you if you pre-ordered, and santa pod was evidence that they did not want to cheat the people who did preorder it. They could have quite easily sold it there and made plenty of money.....but then i think you would have been miffed, no?

Two questions
1) The site only lists 4 outlets, which are presumably not nationwide chains. For those of us for whom ability to receive post is a rare luxury, where is best to get it?
2) Is the magazine about Subarus or just about Imprezas? As a Legacy B4 owner am I going to find useful articles in there?

Remember Lum, this magazine is not one of those big corporates who launch a new type of magazine every month with distribution to every newsagent and WH Smith in the country. You know the type you see advertised on TV (which costs massive ammounts of money) and the advert saying free Gold Prodrive wheel with part one, buy all 50 issues to build a brand new Impreza.
This magazine is owned by a company of enthusiasts who are giving us something thats looks great and have started the company of their own back and not with massive ammounts of corporate money.
Lum I am sure over time, you will see the magazine become available in more outlets. Like any true business with a genuine basis, it takes time to move things off the ground. Unlike massive corporates who can throw piles of cash bllindly.
SM is the first car magazine I have read properly for many many years. Just says it all about other car mags I think.
Buy issue 2 of Scooby Magazine to get your free bumper and headlights. Step by step we will build you a brand new Impreza.
LOL
Fantastic magazine and lets hope it gets the excellent support it deserves.

I have just got mine and would like to say it looks very professional, is nice and thick and has some great articles. I can't believe all those moaning about something being late that costs £3.50. Those that have not bought a copy should show some support by doing so. It only takes a few minutes to sign up with PayPal and is well worth it.

Ordered mine a couple of months ago, by the sounds of it I should have it by the end of the week, but should I have received an email by now to confirm it has been posted?

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone, it has been more difficult than we imagined it would be yet we are still here working hard on the second and third issue.
As I've said in a previous post Smiths will not be selling it because of the £10k they wanted to promote it, this money would have to come from somewhere, who is prepared to foot the bill for that?
At the end of the day it's your choice not to read it, just because Smiths doesn't have it on the shelves is not reason enough unless that is the only place that you visit, could you be one of those that stands in a shop for hours reading everything then leaves without buying anything?

Ordered mine last night, it will take about 7 days to reach the mainland (BElgium that is), I'm pretty curious how it will be.
I'm also a very dedicated EVO and JapPerformance reader so a third one is never a waist !!!
