Just had a nice conversation with kennyd (will put up a separate thread on that). He's connected to Buckaroo to some degree and says they shut down completely for a month but are back in operation again with a minimal crew. They are rearranging financing and restructuring the company without going to Chapter 11, so they're trying to do the honorable thing. Given that they've laid off most of their staff you who might try to get ahold of them will find they're not as responsive as they may have once been (speculating here, give it a shot you've got nothing to lose if they already have your money). Word is they've been struggling since the get-go with newstand penetration, apparently it's tough to wrest shelf space away from the longer established titles, so it's not a direct result of current economic conditions, but that won't help either. All the best to them, competition improves the breed.
