Rest assure thats not happening here. They are not many scanners releasing stuff here besides 3 or 4 people and lets face it its mostly E-Day. Thats why you have to wait because theres no other choice!
Maybe the word "In queue" or something like that would be better but thats not available as of now. Lets get Phillyman on that.
As for the EGM 118 i'm not sure whois editing that. Melki?? Crimson? Maybe there's something missing or wrong with that issue.
Also that Nintendo Power is available here: https://archive.org/details/Nintendo_Power_157_June_2002_U/mode/2up . Another Retromags release jacked by IA. Looking at the Database that release should say Preserved. Not sure why it says 'Scanning'.
