Submitted by Bob1200 on Tue, 03/06/2012 - 16:44

I Think It All Depends On Where U Live, Cuz Those Areas With The Tornadoes In The U.S Are Probably Delaying Stuff From Being Sent By Mail

Submitted by daniol10 on Wed, 03/07/2012 - 10:53

Im still kind of confused. If the magazine isnt giving out prints anymore then why does it send stufff through mail?

Submitted by John Bae on Wed, 03/07/2012 - 13:11

The April 2012 issue is the very last print magazine. After this, there will no longer be any magazines thatt come via postal mail.
