With superheroes, luckily almost anything is possible (apart from a popular hero actually kickin' the bucket) 8)

As for the car mags, I don't expect them to come out in Finland (even tho Dark Knight Rises was pretty popular) and it's prolly a bit too costly compared to probable utility of the cars to order them from UK. But they do look nice enough for all those with Bats in the bellfry who can get them.

Nice find! The magazine is unlikely to be available in Canada either, much like the Marvel & DC hero magazines that came with painted lead figures are years back. Those were lovely.

Just a quick note,  if you've missed any don't fall foul of eBay as the publishers have a back issues option at cover cost.

Actually, I might be interested in a Tumbler myself but I fear p&p may become a bit of hurdle if the mag is send by a regular person who doesn't get any discounts like (some) shops do :?

Hi Guys,

No joy on the WH Smith front today, but if you would like to check out Joroases' link on page 1 you might find you can back order some of the first few models.

If you have any problems with their postage deals I could order them for you and send them off for what I paid for them plus postage (no profit for me, but life's not about profit right?) ;)

All the best,

Rivera.

Sounds like a bit too much trouble for you and it's difficult for me to commit to buy without knowing the full cost of the items: so thanks for the kind suggestion but having mulled it over I'll give it a pass.

Plus I haven't even checked if these happen to be available hereabouts. Prolly not but you never know unless you go look.

Just as an FYI guys, I subscribed to this magazine after I picked up a couple of copies of the first issue (mainly in the hope that I would get the subscriber only '89 Batwing and armoured '89 Batmobile).  I didnt work out as the suppliers are extraordinarily unreliable.

I got issues 2 and 3 but I was over charged for that delivery (they ship the magazines in pairs).  The suppliers refunded the balance but it took a couple of phone calls and reminder emails. 

Despite having filled out their various online forms correctly they shipped to the wrong (billing) address and access to the online content included as part of the subscription service was never available.  They also included me on the mailing lists that I explicitly avoided during sign up.

I was not subsequently charged for issues 4 and 5 as scheduled, but the magazines didnt show up either.  I called the suppliers up and cancelled the subscription and ensured that I got an email from them stating that I would not be charged subsequently.  We shall see.

I had heard bad things about the provider but took a chance anyway, only to find that everything bad that I had heard about them was true.  Caveat emptor.  I will sniff around local newsagents for future issues that appeal.  Despite the awful movies I was looking forward to getting the Kilmer/Clooney Batmobile too, but I have missed it now :(

Really? The one with that silly flappy fin on the top? Why?

Anyway, sorry to hear you've had problems.  :(

Couldn't see one in WHS this lunch. Probably sold out or in an odd place.
