I have searched high and low for this magazine within 4 miles of my house and all shops are sold out.

Tonight i finally gave up searching and subscribed online to have it sent to my home address.

It cost me over €300 (52 issues) to do so but when you subscribe online you get a few nice freebies.

Has anyone else started to buy this magazine?

Apparently Sir Patrick Moore is backing it.

So what's in it apart from the bits of orrery? Seems like a lot of hassle when you could probably buy one for less than the cost of the sub.

I took out a sub on it as well last week after buying the first issue in the newsagents.

There is a bit of weight in the base that came with part 1. I searched the interenet for an orrey before I took out the sub but couldn't find anything resembling the quailty of this one. Any I did find were made of plastic and didn't have half the planets.

I took a sub last week ..

I did get some stuff from Eaglemoss in the past and found them very good.
