^ ooh.. I doubt you'll ever find one on sale.. Tricky one.. Its a really old issue. I also havent found it yet! I recommend going to the National Library and *borrowing* a copy for yourself.. ^^

I have finally found someone who's looking for it too! That's cool, but I haven't found it either. Isn't that issue from March 2002?

I have mine from Yahoo SG Auctions, but I also saw one long time ago on ebay.
I guess you must have luck to find it... just browse ebay and Yahoo very often

To get older magazines is always hard...because they soon stop producing the old issuses :/
Me still looking for the West-east mag, but´s also old and so rare *crys

TIME magazine is in no way rare but it's just that it was the Asian version of TIME that featured the article. I'm sure you'll find it for sale at some point. I don't know how worth it it would be to pay for it, though, since the Time Asia site has the whole article online.

I'd love to have this issue.

I got mine from Time Asia directly. I forgot how much it cost. If you search the site there should be some info about how to purchase back issues.

Qt Mashi · #10 27th September 2005, 02:28 PM

^ wow okay i'll try and look around in there

thanks~

You will need to send an email to that address to find out if they still have the Ayu issue in stock, how much it costs, and how to send payment.
