Magazine arrived yesterday.
I though No 1 was amazing.
No 2 has raised the bar.
It deserves a hard cover it is so much like a book.

I'm a bit slow of the mark this time around, just ordered today. Can't wait to see it.

Mine arrived but the paper packing was badly ripped - Aust Post (to their credit) wrapped the entire package in a strong plastic bag with a sticker saying "it arrived in Australia like this and we have repaired the packing"

I would suggest a stronger wrap - the packing is fantastic with the built in cardboard but maybe the paper needs to be more like the untearable plasticised stuff...?

Just a suggestion - fantastic BOOK!

Mine arrived yesterday too and I had real trouble getting it out of the letter box.  I don't even know how the postman managed to get mine in there.  I basically had to rip the packaging to get it out.  Fortunately no damage done whatsoever to the magazine.

Gotta so just like the first issue it's very impressive (only read a bit last night so far).  They are more like a book (quality paper and pictures etc etc) than a magazine and something that I would keep rather than ditch after skimming through it.

Mine arrived Tuesday and was jammed in the letterbox.  All 4 corners of the envelope were torn off but luckily they were in plastic and only 1 has slight damage on the bottom corner. If it was any worse I would have been very disappointed.  Hopefully future issues could be put in a tougher bag etc.

Jonathan,

If you put a "Do not bend" sticker on the envelope, it should then go back for a postal pick up by the owner. That should stop the posties here doing the tight letterbox squeeze (one would hope).
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

I'm glad copies are arriving. Hope you all enjoy reading the magazine. I'm already looking into stronger envelopes. I'll see if I can find some "do not bend" stickers as well.

In the mean time: Check out the updated feedback on Pinball Magazine No. 2. The second batch of magazines will ship early next week. If you order your copy prior to Monday it will still be shipped in Batch 2. See www.pinball-magazine.com for all info and feedback comments.

Now I'm worried, when Homepin, in one of the worst delivery areas, get his before me!!  I'm assuming we both ordered when No.2 was announced.

I'm an advertiser - possibly mine was dispatched earlier than others?

I've added a "deluxe shipping box" to the webshop, which should prevent any bending. It turns pout to be not the easiest to assemble, so we'll see how it holds up in some deliveries of Batch 2 (which will ship this Tuesday).
