Metro 6R4? Empty Metro 6R4?

Post  skipperjim Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:18 am

Did the magazine version of this every come to see the light of day or not?

I seem to remember quite a few people were interested in this one as was I.

The 6R4 was one of the last models in the series to be listed Jim, and I think we worked out that it wouldn't be out till June / July time. I'm not sure the magazines / models are available over the counter anymore - so it might be subscription and email orders only though. I don't think they ever did set up an online ordering system for them? No

You're not the only one that wants this model! Wink

Dave

I was gearing up ready to swoop around all the local WH Smiths for you on a 6R4 hunt in June/July.

But I have not seen the Rothmans Escort or whatever came after it in any local WH Smiths recently. So as you say it might be subscription only now. You can get back orders from them so you could ask for some after its come out?

For sure they will all get remaindered at some point, just like all the other magazine series.

Cheers
Chris

Well I'll be down Oxford/ Cambridge way come July so will do a major search of all the WH Smiths I can find. Better go and see if I can print a list of all their shops in those areas.

Roll on July.

You can still get this collection from the shelf in larger W H Smith store's. Sound's like they will stock all issue's.

Regarding the Metro 6R4, the release date has been put back. According to the last issue, the next two issue's are delayed by a fortnight putting everything back by about a month. The 6R4 should be on the shelves Thursday 2nd August.Very Happy
