If it is a prank and they put this on they own website it would amount to misleading subscribers and possible legal problems.

Yeah, just like news websites are posting 'according to Anonymous, over 9000 people participated in the DDoS attacks' all the time without even realizing the joke.

I AM an international subscriber (--> Germany) and didnt receive anything yet. If I remember correctly, they are based in the UK. Royal Mail deliveries usually cross the channel quite quickly (received 3 parcels from the UK before, delay: ~3 days).
So: where are my phantasy copies right now?

Right, buried under a vast pile of shit, inside the insane mind of Mathew N. Trollwright.

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.
They sent International issues first to compensate for the shipping delay. US issues were sent out a couple days ago, I believe. So... they should arrive very soon.
Why the delay? Why not bring them to the post office all at once?
It takes longer to send them out from US to NZ or wherever than domestically, so they sent the first ones printed out to international subscribers. They weren't all instantaneously printed in one day, so the later batches were sent later to US subscribers a couple days ago. I'm not involved, though, so don't know anything beyond that.
I see.

I would get a copy but I don't buy physical magazines anymore.  I am sure there will be a digital edition.

Lol, I don't doubt (ok I doubt it a little) that it is finally ready, but if saying it will be ready when it isn't could cause legal problems they'd already have plenty.
