what happens when a monthly expansion pack sells out?

By pumpkin, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

Hi,

Hunt for Gollum is now extremely difficult to find in the UK, and although I thought I had one ordered, this may now turn out not to be the case enfadado.gif

Anyone know what normally happens with reprints? Presumably FFG must reprint at some point to accomodate new players joining the game in the months to come, but potentially, if HfG (or any other pack for that matter) isn't purchased when it is initially released, how long might we be waiting for a reprint?

Not sure, but I preordered from Barnes & Nolbe (in the US) and got an email last week saying that they had to extend my shipping date. I dont see how you can preorder something and then they dont have enough to ship? They had to add 30 days to my expected deliver date so I would say that FFG probably anticipates an initial surge or orders and follows up with the second print. I am still pissed, at B&N not FFG, because whats the use of a preorder if I dont get it? I could have gotten it from other sites if I had waited until release...

EDIT: i already have Hunt for Gollum, my rant is in regards to CaC.

Hmm...not sure. I got both expansions off Amazon and had no trouble.

Check eBay as well if all Amazon vendors are out.

i have also experience some trouble in the uk

i hope they start restocking soon, especially as i may have a back log of packs to buy when christmas comes round

CCG Armory, Sci-fi Genre. Just ordered the first two packs from CCG Armory, and their shipping to Europe is very friendly for all the smaller items.

I got both mine from Amazon as well. I also saw 4 of each at Wizard's Chest in Denver, though that doesn't help you in the U.K.

whereabouts in Uk? the shop in Nottingham where I get my FFG cards had a couple of copies of Hunt for Gollum in last week.

im up north- dont think ive got a store in about 200miles

the Upcoming page shows that Carrock is being reprinted with a September delivery date.

The core game and both the first two adventure packs are still in stock at CCG Armory right now. I recommend you UK players grab them while they're hot. Received mine today - took about a week. All sleeved up and ready to build decks :)

Amazingly, I'm in Nottingham - which shop?

I mostly buy on line, as I like to support Gamesknight.org.uk (who weren't the ones that let me down on the HfG purchase, incidentally..)

a place called Mondo comico - i've sent you a PM with more details

Indeed. I love Wizard's Chest. I'm also in Denver.

Since this thread was resurrected, a HFG-Reprint is already on it's way (as you can see on the upcoming page). So all who had bad luck in summer will get their chance now ;)
