The UK is able to start their subscription from pretty much any issue until after the initial run has completed. If successful enough, and affordable enough, they'll switch it over to 12 / 24 month subscriptions like they have done with several of their older partworks.
It amazes me the interest there still is in their HMS Victory partwork, despite it being the AL kit repackaged with some changes.
Those of us down under will be given a similar option too, but after the initial run it won't be available anymore in Australia. DeAg, Eaglemoss, Hachette, all of them have yet to reissue a partwork in Australia after it's initial run.
For those of us down under also, I cannot stress this enough. DO NOT subscribe to the Falcon through the official channels! After the first issue arrives at newsagents, set up a subscription with your newsagent! Don't go through Bissett Magazines. They are an absolutely terrible, terrible company. They are misleading, terrible at communication, even worse at parts replacement, and, as I experienced with two partworks on subscription with them, failed to reimburse me when parts arrived absolutely destroyed from shipping.
Stick with your local newsagent, they're much more helpful and will want your business!
On a happier note, I'm expecting my issues 22 - 25 this week, but I go for holidays at the end of the week so will have to wait.
Exciting times, as after issue 28 there is no more interior to build, except for the turrets.
