The mag comes out every 2 mos. and everything, mag content and how many issues to print, is finalized at minimum one month before the release date and often 1-1/2 months before.
The subscriber mailing list is who gets shipped a mag and to what address. It is sent out to the printers at the same time the newest mag is completed.... again, minimum 1 month before the release date, sometimes earlier.
So for the upcoming Nov/Dec issue, it has closed and is headed for processing. The subscriber mailing list has also been sent out. If you had a new subscription or a renewal in before it was sent, you would be on the Subscriber mailing list and would see the Nov/Dec issue the first week of November (depending on where you live etc.).
If you subscribe or renew next week, it unfortunately will be too late to get on the subscriber mailing list for the newest issue and you will end up having to wait for the Jan/Feb issue. It sucks, but it is the way it has to be done, especially in this economy.
Please realize that the reason 4WDTO doesn't feel like a big corporate mag is because it isn't. We're all freelancers (and Toyota enthusiasts) that work hard to bring you the best mag we can produce.
