Binder design finalised!
Hi all,
Just a quick one to let you know that today we finalised the binder design and sent it off to the printers for a hard copy proof to be made up.
We thought you would all probably be as excited as we are to see the binder design...so here it is! Many thanks to Bryan Butler for the design...he has worked very hard over the last couple of weeks to perfect this design and we think it looks great.
Remember - the magazine bundles are still available to purchase at www.themagpi.com/shop so keep spreading the word to friends and family - just show them the binder design and they will definitely want to buy a bunlde :-)
Anyway, will keep you posted with further developments in the coming days and weeks, and will take some pictures of the hard copy proof of the binder when it arrives. If you are keen on hearing other bits of news to do with the magazine apart from Kickstarter stuff, why not head over to our Facebook page for all the latest updates - www.facebook.com/MagPiMagazine
Thanks a lot,
The MagPi Team

Hi Claudia, The GAMBLE rewards will be shipped at the same time as the binders...towards the end of Feb/beginning of March.
We are shipping the hardware parts of the hardware rewards (mag+pi kit and above) this week, but none of the magazine bundles will be going out until end of Feb/beginning of March when we get these in from the printers.
We will keep you updated with any progress with printing etc. to keep everyone in the loop.
One major issue we are facing (which shouldn't be happening) is that we have not yet received the funds from Kickstarter - this is quite problematic as I am sure you can imagine! Hopefully we will have everything resolved as soon as possible - we are just as excited to have these bundles in our hands as everyone else - so thanks for your patience!
Cheers,
Aaron

Looks great! Maybe I missed this, but could you say when the GAMBLE will be shipped? Will it be this month?

Thanks for the kind words Nial - Bryan has been slaving over this for over a week trying to get it all finalised and ready for the printers...I am sure he will be happy to hear your feedback! I hope you enjoy the surprise when the binders arrive on your doorstep.
Sorry for the delays, but please bear with us as we are all working flat out to get these ready alongside all the other regular comittments - issue 10 etc.
Keep checking back!

That is pure awesomeness on paper! Cant wait for mine to arrive with 8 Glorious Issues in hardcopy. Have been steering away from the online versions so the paper ones will surprise me more as have only read 2 or 3 copies online in depth last year so 5 are like brand new magazines!
