Yep - they appear to be primarily available in Europe for some unknown (I presume
licensing) reason.

Nowadays the foil packs are actually paper though. The mags themselves can be
picked up in most newsagents and supermarkets in the UK for around £5. Themes
include Batman, Star Wars Jurassic World, Ninjago, City etc.
