I guess so- I've never fanned through Barbie magazine, but some of the action figure mags have prics (how the make these prices up is beyond me).
If you ever want spoilers on upcoming sci-fi movies, just look through the action figure mags- the toys have to be done well in advance of any movie release, and the mags get the first pics of the toys.
I recall seeing what Doc Ock looked like (from the last Spider Man movie) almost a year before the trailer was released. Same with a lot of the LOTR stuff.

admit it...you thought the panel where a someone asks Dr. McCoy a question and both the Beast and Bones both answer and look quizingly at each other funny.

You mean in Toyfare? I love that! That's what Robot Chicken started as, you know.
The best is a strip wherein the Baroness is pissed at Tomax and Xamot (who are sitting on her sofa drinking beers), and she's saying "When is your brother going home? He's been here two whole weeks!"
One of the twins replies "Two hole weeks is right! Ha!" The other says "Can we say that?
Soo very messed up.

The Star Trek Communicator, the official magazine of the Star Trek Fan Club, has ceased publication, and subscribers will be refunded their payments.
Decipher, which had published the official fan magazine, made the announcement on its web site. "Decipher Inc. will not publish the Star Trek Communicator magazine after Issue #155," wrote company president Cindy Thornburg. "We are in the process of developing a program to access and process subscriber data, calculate refunds, and post to subscriber accounts." Instructions for refunds will be mailed to each subscriber.
As previously reported, the company faced lawsuits and numerous letters from fans complaining about delays in publication and lack of available information about a schedule. Editor Larry Nemecek said that Decipher would cease publication of the magazine, but told fans at a convention this summer that "Paramount will not let the Fan Club and magazine die."
On the Comic Boards, frequent Communicator contributor Kevin Dilmore told fans that he was "confident that you should not completely write off the Communicator's future just yet."
Dilmore said that the goal at the Communicator had always been to create a magazine that people would want to buy. "When they don't, that sends a message: Either people are not as interested in Star Trek as a whole anymore, or that they're not as interested in the magazine as a whole. In either case, that's enough for a company to decide to cease publication."
He added that, should publication resume with another publisher, he hoped that fans would let the new management what kind of material they wanted to see included.

Aah, I remember the last sentence in a certain favorite old book of mine;
quote:All these things, with some very surprising incidents in some new adventures of my own, for ten years more, I shall give a farther account of in the Second Part of my Story.
I've got all day, Defoe! *thumpthumpthumpthump*

I'd rather see "The Further Adventures of William Defoe".
Or not.
Really, it's no big shock, I mentioned that Borders and barnes & Noble had dropped the mag months ago- and unless they were to go with a hardcore technical journal type of thing (which we'd love but would probably not sell real well), they had run out of anything new to publish.
Still, tey had some nice ship articles- except that inaccurate Nebula which, frankly, sucked my asshole.

Scanning and setting a press for a 10K print job. Nothing fun, unfortunately.
