Since the minimum amount of copies to ship in a batch has been met, we’ll be shipping out another batch of Pinball Magazine No. 1 this week. Most likely Wednesday June 12th.
UPDATE: Batch 10 has shipped out. The next batch shipping will be early July.

Pinball Magazine No.2 is (finally) finished and was sent to the printer June 11th at 02:15 AM. Issue 2 counts 188 pages and weights about 850 grams. That makes PM No.2 probably even more a book than PM No.1. Pre-sale will start soon. Keep an eye out for our upcoming newsletter with all info.
