I have just learned that about a month ago the publishers of Diecast Collector magazine in the UK issued a special magazine commemorating the 50th anniversary of Matchbox Superfast, entitled "Fast and Fifty".

As this seems not to be available online, except at highly inflated prices on auction sites, I want to ask if anybody in the UK can get and send me a copy at (or near) regular retail price (plus postage). The regular retail price seems to be GBP 7.99, and allegedly it is mainly available at WHSmith.

A review of the publication posted here by anybody who has a copy would also be appreciated!

There is a digital edition available:

Having done a bit of digging on the Internet, the release date seems to have been 27/9, meaning that there's a good chance of copies still being on the shelves.
Update: just found a copy for myself (in WH Smith's as suggested).
