    It felt to me that 3 pages were essentially advertising. The two with the G1 Shattered Glass, and the "what's in stores now" page.

    What a waste of space, I felt even more ripped off than normal with this issue. Probably a reason none of the other sites report it as news any more

    And Sideburn, chasing a car that isn't red? There's something very wrong with that!!

    I like advertising, and seeing content like this. But there's a place for it - in the single sheet advertisers that come with the magazine (eg. BigBadToystore's, or the previous Hasbro ones).

    It should never be the content. Do you think they're doing it to pad the magazine out, so they don't have to draw too many pages of comic?
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    I think that yes, they are doing it to pad out the magazine.

    I guess they can't think of any more word searches.

    I think the comics in the magazine have been a standard 6 pages, but I suspect that most of their energy is being directed to creating more toys, as opposed to club-like-stuff, so they are trying to 'fill' the magazine in the easiest way possible.

    When was the last time they actually had an interview with someone from Hasbro about the line? They could have had some major news in regards to the 'Beast Hunters' bizzo for Prime. That would have been a great interview (one would hope). Completely missing the boat in all aspects as I see it.

    The Club magazines are garbage, not worth the paper they are printed on.
