German & Italian card set Bunkers appearing on eBay now, as well as trooper upgrade packs, and the ops.

Maybe the memo to hold didn't get translated?

To be honest, I had a much better one in mind, but far more obscure and would've taken too much time to make...

Opening scene for It Crowd season 2 episode 6....

"Tell me your tale..."

"It is a woman delayed!"

"Ha! It is always a woman delayed!"


Thank you... thank you... I'll be here all week...

[I'll see myself out]

Geez, where are you located? I will admit, our store just got some fresh inventory, Dooku and Rex included. I finally was able to get a 6th Clone unit last night. Nobody around here had the clone trooper box until now lol

Ironically, Minnesota. I’m just far enough to not want to drive directly to FFG itself unless it’s for a big event or something longer than a game.

I can find Dooku near me no problem, but I don’t play seppies. I did a double core set preorder with a buddy and we each took our faction from it.

FFG can ask distributors to hold on to product, doesn't mean they will. You guys are assuming FFG has control over this whole process. The ship leaves China when it leaves. It shows up at port and unloads when it does. The distributors ship when they ship. Good chance FFG doesn't communicate all this stuff because they don't know themselves, especially the over seas stuff. Also, they don't owe us day to day updates on the current status of their business.

FFG products are neither late or early, they arrive exactly when they mean to.

Let's be real, this is it.

They're great at the game making part of this business but fail consistently on the business side. Fail to meet deadlines, inconsistent product release dates, mismarketed or unmarketed products, persistent marketing communication errors, lack of distributor oversight, lack of district representation/oversight for OP kits/event distribution.... the list could go on....

Basically this.

They suck at this part. They know they suck at this part. They have a world renowned IP license so they know they'll make money. Allows them to be persistently bad at a fairly important business aspect with little to no consequence.

They don't owe anyone but the mouse anything. lol

Imagine how much more successful FFG and Asmodee would be if they had a decent PMO office and understood logistics.

FFG also is not likely in direct control of some parts of the this setup. They release marketing when they know stuff, rather than when they decide stuff, and Asmodee is their parent company (like how Disney owns Lucasfilm) so I highly doubt they're allowed to talk **** when their international distributors/retailers don't play by the rules but say, the US market they're based in does.

Though also sellers aren't great, retailers sell or leak video games before official dates all the time, and vg is a much larger and richer industry (no offense to FFG, but it is) and there doesn't seem to be much to be done there either, it's not like you can tell Amazon to sod off.

Right?

Hopefully this will end the mess of trying to coordinate world wide releases. If they are touch down in a country. Sell them.

We can hope.
