I’ve yet to find a Concorde edition which will definitely come home with me when I do. That said, is it frowned upon to raid all the seats close to you in an attempt to find what you want?
I was on BA1426 last Thursday evening, as one of the first on I checked a full three rows of the CE cabin before people started looking at me as if I was acting a bit suspiciously (not the crew!). I took my seat, resigned to missing Concorde again.

Just saw this thread, those on the A350 will have noticed there are almost none in CW cabins now...not sure about the WT cabin but the WT+ cabin was almost untouched (he says knowing he pillaged it last night with crew assistance no less!) 
So plenty in WT+ if anyone is looking for blue covers in excellent shape.
Was very pleased to get a Concorde one among others:

I started late collecting these and only have 5 so far. My next flights with BA aren't until the end of Aug, and there will be very few decent copies left by then.
I've suggested to the GGL team that BA should organize a special print run for collectors. They say they have passed on the suggestion to the relevant team. It does seem a little crazy that BA hasn't (as yet) thought about providing the opportunity for interested parties to purchase a collection of all 12 magazines, (in pristine condition).
Sad I know, but I am thinking about sticking them on the wall in a nice frame... Then again, I also like organizing the spoons in my kitchen drawer.

I am currently collecting them for a friend, only 3 so far.
Surely there is some potential for an FT thread for a Panini sticker like swap exchange to get the last ones in the collection which always seem to be a struggle to get?

I am a 'sort-of' collector but not flying with ba in August.
I don't think that I want to put anyone to the trouble of sending me one August edition, but then will probably feel like I have missed out.
If only I had completed that course on decision making, but after the mid term break I couldn't decide if it was working!
