Got this today for DD, its the first issue and is only 99p.

Comes with 4 sillicone bun cases and a plate, well worth the 99p for just these.

think future issues are 4.99 and some gifts are offered if you suscribe.

Thank you, I did see these yesterday morning at tesco but ummed and ahhed before realising this will sell and fast, our local Tesco had quite a few of these so picked up four copies, £4 isn't bad for four plates, 16 silicone cupcake cases and the magazines, my daughters at the age where she rips up the magazines after a few hours so it will be handy to have a few copies to keep the recipies. It also has a lovely poster inside with lots of fruits and vegetables both in spanish and english so it would be great for teaching younger kids and getting them involved with recognising the ingredients we use.

Next one is £2.99 with a 'Boots' the monkey plate, rolling pin and butterfly shape mould/cutter.

Not sure I will be buying this every fortnight as £5 is alot considering the lack of content in the magazine, we shall see...

So I bought my daughter Issue 1 of Dora Little Cooks at Tescos and she loved it - we had great fun making the banana muffins and eating them. Feeling excited about this new magazine I thought I would subscribe so my daughter could be sure she got the issues before they were out in the shops and so she would get the array of free gifts promised.

  On February 9th Eaglemoss confirmed my subscription of £9.98 every 28 days. About 2 weeks later Issue 1 turned up - the issue we already had but we had asked to start at Issue 1 so we would have 2 Dora plates and more muffin cases. The free Tidy Box however didn't arrive.   Since then we have walked past issue 2 and issue 3 in Tesco. My very bright 4 year old has asked why hers haven't come through the post and can we buy them at Tesco. Her friends have all made their new recipes, got their new free mixing bowl etc. But my daughter hasn't because we made the mistake of subscribing thinking this would get us a better deal!   

So today I called Eaglemoss to be told the tidy box comes with your second shipment. I explained on the email infront of me it says "Tidy Box with first shipment". What did they say? "Well it should say second shipment".  So I say, well I'm still waiting for issue 2 and 3 which are out in the shops. They say - "we ask you to wait up to 21 days for those".  I say, "21 days from setting up the subscription was March 1st".  They say, 'we've dispatched them but we ask you to allow 21 days. We're playing catch up as we had so many orders."  I explain very nicely that while an adult might be happy to wait 21 days for something they already paid for, which is already available in the shops because they have a backlog, they cannot expect a 4 year old to apply logic. They ask me to allow 21 days!  

And so we go round in circles.  I am very, very unhappy about this. I subscribe to several magazines and always get them before they are in the shops so why should my 4 year old have to wait 21 days after everyone else has their issue of Dora Little Cooks? The customer service I got is zero. It's like they think they can get away with it because a 4 year old can't complain but this mummy can!

I asked to have a manager call me back but they never did, then... seeing my comments on another mums forum, Eaglemoss's PR company said they wanted to speak to me. There's me imagining they might offer my daughter some form of compensation for all their delays and the distress caused. I finally got to speak to someone today after leaving numerous messages to discover that although the publishers promised me faithfully that issues 2 & 3 were dispatched on the 20th Feb and were on their way to me this was in fact a lie. Issue 3 is out of stock so no issues beyond issue 1 have been sent to me. But if that isn't bad enough they have admitted they have taken payment from my account not just for the missing issues 2 and 3 but also for issues 4 & 5! I am absolutely furious and urge all mums to boycott this magazine. They are taking money, not providing the magazine, lying to customers that it has been dispatched and don't even seem to be particularly apologetic. My 4 year old is absolutely devastated. I have cancelled my subscription and asked for a full refund but I won't be holding my breath! Shame on you Eaglemoss publishing.:mad:
