This is a bit odd; NG magazine has been available in bookstores here (i.e. the 
Netherlands, but I can vouch for Germany as well) for years! Usually quite a 
pile 
of them, actually. I think European dwellers have little to worry about. 
However, 
it does take a bit longer for them to arrive, on average. Can you wait?
