I remember that, but nothing in there about switching to a twice yearly format. That's pretty big news!

Well, the mooks are going to be bigger, so to expect them on a quarterly basis like the magazine would be unrealistic.

I just want to clarify here that I'm not speaking in any official capacity for Super7, I'm just connecting the dots.

Yeah I hear you.

Mooks are pretty popular in Asia. Some of them can be huge - several hundred pages. Can't wait to see what sorts of in depth articles are in store for the upcoming S7 Mooks!

Yes, twice a year, 200 pages a pop, hardback with all sorts of tricked out goodies.

the new issue looks great but I was kinda sad when I finished reading it because it was the last one we will ever get to read.

Bring on the Mook!

You'll get a newsletter along with your magazine with all the details about current subcriptions.

something to read all at once and then wait for the next

Wow! Well, I like the move to the mook - but I don't like the move to just being published twice yearly. I realize that they couldn't do the mook format quarterly, but only getting the magazine quarterly was tough enough - it just feels like such a long period of time between issues.
I'll take the good with the bad and be happy...

wow...first, you guys change up the binding on the magazine and then - BAM - it becomes a mook!! Super7 has been super-sized!!!

Congratulations on the new (upcoming) format---looks like it will be hot! And, issue number 15 ain't no slouch either...anytime Lord Vader is on the cover, you know it will be good!! I was reading it by flashlight last night, like a kid sneaking peeks at dad's porn! (of course, I haven't had electricity at my house for twelve days, thanks to mother nature's icy lovin'---that I FART A LOT!---but I digress).

Any of you that don't have a subscription should quit farting around and get one now...

Got my mag in the mail, read the flyer about the new "mook" format. . .

. . .while I understand the value of getting 200 pages, the bi-annual schedule bums me out. I also hope that S7 does a "paper cover" to add some, well, "color" to the rather plain cover. Bi-annual also means that any news that makes it into the mag will be, at worst, over 6 months old (since some stuff will miss the press date for the previous mook six months earlier).

And I know the S7 people know that Hi-Fructose remains a quarterly, and PlayTimes Magazine is revamping their subscription structure. Bottom line, there are lots of choices, and between these three mags, I'll get good a good vinyl fix multiple times a year.

Most new toy releases are posted somewhere around here first anyway...

not to mention that a ton of stuff sells out immediately and neither mag nor mook can be printed quick enough to matter...take the new Balzac "Zodiac" release for example...cool packaging, toy, etc. but only a handful to sell...it would look good in a magazine layout, but your actual chances of owning one are not very high...
