I buy Mini Magazine when I see it, really need to sort out a subscription! Prefer it over Mini World for many reasons.

I don't really buy either - There's too many adverts in them for my liking.

I only bought Mini Mag the other day, because we were in it! :)

Neither. i used to buy both but after getting the magazine for quite a few months it got very samey. The only bit that really interested me was the mechanical part and that info can be found on here.

I sound like a right boring fart don't i :) lol

I think he might be looking to Advertise in one of them, old ones might be a bit incoherent or something.

Yes it's to do with advertising sort of, more to do with if it's worth getting involved with Mini World, as I currently have nothing to do with them. All my eggs are currently in the Mini Magazine basket :)

Anyway I'll give it until tonight and explain a little more about why I'm interested in this, once more people have voted/expressed opinions.

Right well interesting really, from the results so far, Mini Magazine is more popular (people haven't got a bad word to say about it) and better selling, but not by much!!

Guaranteed Sales (Subscriptions)
Mini Magazine: 10
Mini World: 8

Possible Sales (month to month buying)
Mini Magazine: 5
Mini World: 3

Total Sales
Mini Magazine: 15
Mini World: 11

Also, somehting that does suprise me, more people subscribe than buy!! Didn't see that coming, is it because you cant buy them anywhere??

I know the only reason I've subscribed to Mini Magazine is because I have to go into a WHSmiths to buy one.

Right well so far looks like perhaps I should get in touch with Mini World, in addition to Mini Magazine, I had no idea Mini World was this popular. Didn't think anybody bought it (whoops).

Anyway I'll give it the night as people get home from work things might change :)

I'm subscribed to both. Don't miss out on anything that way, however probably wont renew either when they run out. Just dont get time to read them/cant afford to anymore

I buy Mini Magazine as and when. Miniworld isnt as good and costs more, only something like 30p but it crosses into £4 territory!
