Video Game Collector Mag???

[BIG-JG]

Is something wrong? are they history...i just bought a subscrition about a month ago havent received a thing...emaild them asking aboout it... no response... now thier website is down...if someone knows anything...help

[icbrkr]

Their magazine has always been sporatic. I first saw it I think in 2004 at the OVGE.. 2 years later they were up to what.. issue 5?

[udisi]

I believe issue #8 is suppose to be available soon. They have been inconsistant with the "Quarterly" installments, but last I knew it is alive and well.

[Vinnysdad]

I hope they are still around because this is one of the few magazines I actually look forward to reading.

Me too. I've also been wondering what the deal is with the mag.

I emailed them as well to ask if my subscription needed renewing. No response either. I see they have a picture on thier website of a newer issue than the last one I received. Been meaning to check some bookstores to see if they had it. My last isssue is worn frazzled from carrying around in my back pocket for months. I'm REALLY going to miss it if they've gone kaput!

I buy games now and then from someone affiliated with the VGC here in St. Louis, they are not gone just a little behind it sounds like. I just got an email this morning saying it was at the printer and should be out soon.

[Flack]

I got an e-mail on May 13th from Shawn stating that they were putting "the final touches" on the issue, so I'd expect to see it out shortly.

It does seem like the release dates are growing further apart. Issue #5 (Dragon's Lair Cover) was "Spring/06", Issue #6 (Bonk Cover) was "Summer/06", Issue #7 (Mario Cover) was "Winter/06", and Issue #8 hasn't been released yet. Regardless of when they're released, I always look forward to reading (and contributing to) the magazine.

I really enjoy the magazine. They always have some pretty good articles in there and the price guide is fun to look at, too. It's good toilet material.

I am disappointed that it takes them so long to get each issue out, though.

[studvicious]

It looks like their site is back up now.

[Anthony1]

Somebody should scan in page 3 of issue #4, you'll see my ugly mug there at the bottom. Zach had me write up a little article on page 14 (alot of the info in that article is actually outdated now, but was kinda true at the time, lol).

[studvicious]

Haha. I remember reading that article and thinking, "This HAS to be Anthony1".

I've never seen a copy of the magazine anywhere other than at a classic game convention. Since I won't be going to one this year (no OVGE this year, unfortunately), looks like I'm out of luck. I go to bookstores all the freakin' time looking for the latest issues of Retro Gamer (which seems to be fairly sporadically stocked at most Barnes & Noble stores), and I have never come across a copy of Videogame Collector's magazine.

I have all seven issues and i hope number eight comes out soon.

Have you tried Block Buster? I see issues there all the time.

[Steve W]

I haven't gone to a Blockbuster in an incredibly long time. I guess I now have a reason to stick my head in the door, if they carry VGC Magazine.

[jeffg]

Steve,
quite a few of the blockbusters here in the DFW metroplex have video game collector

Hey what ever happened to Zach Meston? He was editor-in-chief of VGC for the first 4 issues then he's just gone i liked what he wrote about like in the strategy guides he did for Working Designs.

After hanging around on this forum for awhile, he was eventually banned from posting here.

He was the head of PR at Atlus for a while, and then he left Atlus and...I lost track of him!
