I went ahead and put in a local store pre-order for my legion core set. there is a very good reason to do so.

In hobby retail pre orders help your store determine stock levels and help publishers prepare for reprints.

In this specific instance stores could really use legion pre-orders in order to get the early demo kit and I’m guessing launch event kits.

FFG is requireing a pretty big order from stores for these and your preorder can really help your store get there.

I've heard how many core sets have to be pre-ordered to get the release kit and it was more than I was expecting. Fortunately we have a lot of interest in my town for Legion so we are going to be able to meet the requirements. I know that we probably would not have if a couple of us hadn't put forth the effort to talk to others about the importance of pre-ordering.

And how many was that?

yea I preordered online. but I think I'm going to pick one up at the local store as well. How many do they need for launch event kits?

wie viele???

Twenty to get an early demo copy.

First I think FFG is right to give these support kits to stores with large orders.

If a store wants special treatment then they should work for it, committing to a large stock means they are are going to do their job in promoting and demoing the game. It also means they will actually have the product needed to support a community.

For the March 8th early kit I think 20 core sets are the minimum order.

What do you expect the release kit to contain?

Just preordered mine from my FLGS today! Dragons Lair in Austin!

They have my order too. I sent them a note via Twitter asking about their involvement with the different events in March. Have not heard anything back.

My guess is there will be a large, local Legion scene.

You need 16 to get the early demo copy for the stores.

I pre-ordered 1 Core/1 Dice Pack/1 tool from one Store and 1 AT-ST/1 Snowspeeder/ 1 Dice Pack from another as the first store was OoS.

When I asked them about it, they said they wouldn't know and it'll depend on pre-orders/FFG support. But I know if FFG gives them anything, they're usually always good about going big with it. Either way, I'm excited to get some games in with you and everyone else!
