You can't always get back issues at gamestop. Back in my day/area we would give new signups a copy of every back issue we had in stock in addition to the current issue, to rotate out the old and boost subscriptions (since all corporate cared about was your sub and preorder numbers, we needed the boost lol).

Well good thing for me my local Game Stop got tons of back orders in stock because so few go in and know you can still get physical copies.

For sure, lucky indeed!
