All,

I CANNOT find Camaro Performers locally--they sell out before I get to them.

I really want to see the Feb 06 issue if anyone has one they will part with or loan.

I have found the magazine at Super Walmart and at Books a Million. Where have you all found it?

Here are the dates they will hit the shelves:

Mar 2/14/06

May 6 4/18/06

July 6/20/06

Sept 8/15/06

Nov 10/17/06

Jan 07 12/19/06

Hey Brent - where did you get the dates your showing. I know they said they would be going to 6 issues a year but figured that to be about like the subscriptions they said they weer taking and didn't.

I searched the net for advertising information--I figured they would provide shelf dates to advertisers and they do.

I found it here:

Where else are you all finding the magazine?

Here is the Jan and Mar 06 covers. I just checked Barnes and Noble, Borders, and Books a Million. No luck.

Thanks - as for where - it's hit and miss here. It use to be available at Walmart and the Albertsons by my house. Now nobody has it and I ask and they say it's not on their list. I've tried all the book stores like Boarders and B&N as well as Walmart, Kmart, Target, Kragan and other parts stores and markets with no luck...

Do we need to form a black market for this magazine? Buy bootlegs?

Why are these so hard to find?....

I've been told it isn't worth it to the retailer as they only sell a few copies... I look at the trash at most mag racks and just shake my head.

Well I'm going to go look for a copy today or tomorrow. If I come across someone with a few, I'll buy them and mail them to whomever wants em.

I will look a copy today--if I can't find one and you find copies I'd love to get one and will (of course) cover your costs.

No luck here. If someone can pick one up I'll also cover your cost and time. Just let me know.

I didn't think there were 6 issues last year and they certainly are not subcription available...

I wonder if it would be worth it for Team Camaro members to try and do something with them as a group. May not be worth it to them though or too involved. I know I would be willing to give up a couple of other mags that I have become disappointed in to buy Camaro Performers at a higher price.
What do you guys think?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but are you sure a Feb 06 issue exists? The "shelf dates" you listed seem to skip a month and indicate to me that there should be no Feb issue.

Regardless, the last time I stopped at the local grocery store there were a couple of the March? issues still there (silver 69 on the cover?)

I can pick them up if they are still there and someone wants them.

That threw me too at first. The Mar 06 issue was scheduled to be on newsstands on 2/14/06. Reading the other thread from last week they got it out a bit early....

I have yet to have a problem locating a copy. Must not be too many Camaro lovers in Chico, Ca. Maybe I should buy all the copies I can find in Chico and then mail them to those of you having problems?

Find mine at the local supermarket. They have a huge magazine section. But they sell out fast. Maybe I should stop in again this afternoon and see if any are left, and just grab them all.

I found several copies at my local grocery store by the way. If anyone can't find one in their area send me a PM and I'll run down there and grab ya one. I also noticed they have a couple other nice mags, one made specifically for Novas and one for Chevelles. Seem to be the same mag company doing them.
