Limit of 1 Summer Kit per store?

By Klutz, in X-Wing

There are 3 local stores here that are ordering Summer Kits, and I've gotten feedback from 2 of them, both mentioning that they've had to fill out a form to order the kits - which wasn't the case before supposedly?

Also, one store is telling me that the sales rep. told him the kits are limited to 1 kit per store.

Does anyone have extra info on this?

Is the sales rep. misinformed?

This is in Canada, so the distributor is Lion Rampant (I think) and supposedly they kind of suck...

I, as one of the local TOs, asked my FLGS to order two of the kits this time, not sure if the order will go through. I do know that an ATL area store regularly gets in 10+ kits, so I am hoping my FLGS can get two.

Several ATL stores get 10+ kits normally and because of that the promos start getting hard to give away as prizes because everyone has them after 2 weeks of being out

Easily this, I know stores that have done it and it kills the purpose of the kits.

Well, sure, but if they really do limit it to 1 kit per store, that means a small town with only 1 store will have a single kit for July through September (4 months).

a simple email to FFG will probably be able to clear something like this up, If this happens advise the store to get in contact and see if they can work around the issue.

It seems the sales rep was misinformed.

False alarm :P

Good, my FLGS told me that the two I wanted for this summer were ordered and on the way. So hopefully, I can actually get two tournaments scheduled soon... :unsure:

I have to believe if it's a reputable store with good FFG standing, ordering multiples wouldn't be an issue. Especially well established locations that have history of hosting large events.
