It says no foreign (or canada) orders.

Looked like a good deal. No luck for me being here in Aus :(

They would rather you have the mag for free-it's really a catalogue, as you know, and the main goal is for you to purchase all of the crap inside

Crap, I got there too late.  All gone.   :(

Thanks for the tip, though.  It may have been you who first told me about the M&F deal, which I took advantage of.  It's been good value. :)

Take a look around.  There are other similar deals on E-bay.

I found one and got 3 years of Flex for $5.94.

According to Mystery, the best place to pick up women is in the magazine section of the bookstore. Just pick up a copy of Flex and walk over to the hottest girl and say, "Can I ask you a question? Do women really want a guy who looks like this?" Then drop a demonstration of higher value (DHV) on her by saying, "I haven't picked up this magazine since I won the Mr. Universe in '06." Develop some Kino by asking to "feel her bicep" and asking her to "guess how many abs of mine are showing by touching my stomach" and then bounce her back to your grandmother's basement, telling her that you're "just staying here until my real estate development company completes construction on that new mid-rise all-glass condo downtown". As a 'deal-sealer' say, "Shit! That reminds me - I gotta call Leo and Gisele to see if they're still coming to the Grand Opening." Proceed to plow away.

You're welcome.

I don't think they ship to Canada, but I would like to hear what he said.

I've brought this up before.  Most magazines now do not make their money on actual magazine sales but instead advertisement revenue.  The more readers they have, the more money they can charge for ads and the more ads they can sell.  Some mags simply give away subscriptions because of this.
