It's not properly started yet. It's still in the trial mode, so it's not guaranteed we will actually get anything at all.

WE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE ON TRIAL!
In seriousness, I hope the trial succeeds. I'd like the opportunity to actually buy an issue.

I forgot to subscribe for a couple of weeks after this was announced. I subscribed on 23rd September. (After being prompted by Andy's photos of it on Facebook. Cheers, Andy.) I have yet to receive anything, though haven't been charged either. I had no response to an email last week. I was going to phone, but thought I'd check here first. It looks like other people are in the same boat as me. It's a pity I didn't subscribe sooner, or I might have a sense of satisfaction by now.

I wonder if the left overs of each volume were shipped out to subscribers in order of how early they subscribed?

I'm not sure why folks are stressing over this. Mail subscribers were only going to be lucky to get overstock giving how this was a testing phase.
I think that they seem to have run out of stock to send out (as a nice courtesy) to some subscribers outside the test area (and for free!) is a positive sign.

I might pick up #5 then from Manchester if in the shops then, But I did pay for #1,2 in the shops too & got the free copies so they did make some money. Be interesting if #6 is in the shops but we don't know anything about it.

Pete, there is no 5 or 6. The trial was only 4 issues long.

I'm sure somewhere someone said they'd seen #5 (wasn't just that #5 was on the card for #4 like you stated above)
But also remember the posted info about Previews UK Jan 17 listing. on page 10

#5 was pictured on the card for #4, but #4 included a note to say no more editions unless it gets a full launch.
The cards will have been designed as if they were full launch so they can be rolled out again for that wider launch *if* needed.

The previews info suggests there will be a full launch at some point. If that occurs everywhere and all subscribers will start from #1 - including the test area.

I believe that this WILL get a proper launch in the new year. Keep the faith.

They could have been pulling stock to clear up for the launch proper. It'd be confusing for a brand new issue one to be on the same shelves as issue four or five.

It just went back after the usual two weeks on the shelves. Don't think any thing can be read into it.

The other two issues in the trial have turned up! Though still missing the flat number on them. Though when phoning up to get the address corrected the man on the phone I spoke to confirmed it's going nationwide, possibly before the end of the year (though he wasn't entirely sure about that).
As for the two books, a quick glance makes me think:
The Edge of Extinction one is very nice, good chunky hardback with Rhythms through to the titular story, so basically not far off being that best of book Titan did a few years ago. I can see this being one people who aren't otherwise interested grab.
Plus all the UK covers are present, the only book with American Marvel issues where this was the case. I think this was the last issue in the trial, so hopefully that's something that's been tweaked as they've gone along and the proper series will do it for all.
The Primal Scream one is a little odder. As I've said before, I can see the logic of getting the "Drawn to be colour" strips in the trial by hook or by crook so that if it didn't go through they'd at least have had the treatment. But there's no sense in either Fall and Rise... or especially the clear prologue to Time Wars Cold Comfort and Joy being there. It's very odd and distracting and means the attempt to "Do" Marvel in the proper order has already faltered.
Not sure why the new colours are very much in the American Marvel "Dots" style rather than what the UK used to do either.
I do think they've made a bit of a mistake with the issues chosen for the test being so Marvel and Furman heavy. It doesn't give any real idea of what people who aren't already buying all the books might expect from the backhalf of the series, nor what a "Modern" (Stormbringer is ten yars old!) TF comic is like. Any Brits going "Well I'd loved what I had as a kid, but I'm not sure about this other stuff" won't have anything to sway them here.
I'm not sure how far forward it's going, but surely Wreckers (though I suppose that's not that recent any more) or early MTMTE or RID would have been a sensible addition.
