Where are the MB or AMG Magazines?

I went to borders a few days ago to kill time with the kids. My hidden agenda was really to just drive the beast.

As they're reading some books in the kids section, i browse to the magazine section, specifically cars. Something is wrong! There's magazines for corvettes, bmws, m-series, porsches, hondas, mustangs... there was even a ferrari magazine!

Where the heck are the MB or AMG magazines? Is there such a thing? Just curious...of course the most current info is probably in these forums anyway, but still pics are nice!

Dunno the answer... but another question pops into my mind..

Looking for an AMG E55 scale model... where are they?
Seems like you can get almost any other class AMG model -except the E class?

Anyone know of a good scale AMG E55 model?

I've seen MB magazine(I think it is called "Mercedes") at Barnes and noble but nothing interesting compare to BMW magazines.

don't bother with "mercedes" magazine...unless you're 74yrs old and looking to read an article about that 1940 mb that dad used to have. it's useless for us performance amg guys...not to mention it's like $10!!!!

the only magazine i know of is like that one guy said.. "mercedes" it tells about past, present, and future mercedes, nothing really about performance... and the lasttime i've actually seen a amg in the magazine is the renntech cls55 or 63 on the cover of luxury and exotics

These are the 2 Benz Magazines I get.
http://www.mbca.org/pages/star.htm

The "Real" AMG Magazine is printed Annually.
They offer them to the AMG Private Lounge Members.
1st come first serve. They mail them from Affalterbach.
The 2008 should be in the mail right now. Here is the cover.

When you join MBCA you get The Star magazine as already mentioned. Memebership costs $45/1 year, $87/2 years, $127/3 years. There are other perks as some dealers give members a parts discount. I have seen Mercedes Enthusiast at one Borders and agree it's not worth the money. The last time I was at my dealer there was a stack of AMG magazines in the waiting room, free to anyone.
