It launched the week before lockdown started in Germany (eons ago!). So far the LEGO Star Wars mags have continued on schedule over here, curious to see when there’ll be a gap.

Can only say that in the UK it would appear that publications with enough subscribers are still coming out whereas those which rely on the newsstand aren't. -Ralph

But this one... yeah I may have to swear back on again. Christmas jumpers!
