This Thursday will see Retro Gamer's first split-run of covers appear in shops, as well as our first exclusive subs cover. Make sure you catch them all!

Well bang goes the surprise! Did Darran want this up before we got them?
Still, colourful and eye catching. Pokemon should excite a few people - it excited my teenage kids when they were 6

Bang goes my 'complete' collection. Just can't justify buying 4 mags with identical content on top of my sub issue.

Fingers crossed I don't get the Pikachu one! The wife would really rip it out of me with that on the cover!

Pulling my leg I think! (hope)
Even if it is, no major problem as long as I fold the cover back whilst reading it in the lounge, work, out and about and when it's resting on the coffee table.
EDIT: Looking at the covers, the first 3 issues have a 'gotta catch em all' sticker.... the Pikachu cover doesn't.
Doh!

Too bad, I like the orange one with the dragon more.

I agree, screw that. If the content is identlical then that'll have to do. I'm not paying for four of the basically same thing. I'm not that much of a collector.
