Alex Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 They're at a FLGS near you, or should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 FLGS - we don't put them out immediately as we like to give the stores time to get them out to their customers vs. selling direct to them ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xKoBiEx Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Can vouch that all the scheduled releases have been in my locals...most are sold out. lol Guess that means good job, Wyrd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Considering the restocks coming back in, very happy about that. Thank you. We'll get them up this week, just like to give the FLGS's their time as honestly, without them gaming would be much more difficult and we would like to see them supported properly.

Mortanius Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Interesting, I know some stores that don't even get the chance to place an order for the month releases till after they come on sale on the wyrd store... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 We don't wait for every single store to call us personally and say 'hey, we got it, thanks'. Its usually well after a month that we've sent them to distributors, which is usually about two weeks or so after the stores have picked them up, give or take, that we finally put it up in our online store. I'm certain there are exceptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hell at least Wyrd even thinks about the local brick and mortar stores, there are other companies that dont (and seem to be working increasingly toward direct sales).

QFT. Hell there was a time here when GW was trying to increase their brick and mortar presence and they would open stores right next to private stores and run them out of business. Years ago, but it did happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 QFT. Hell there was a time here when GW was trying to increase their brick and mortar presence and they would open stores right next to private stores and run them out of business. Years ago, but it did happen. I remember when they were doing that. Might have worked better if they had realized that people do play games other than Warhammer and Warhammer 40k (you know any of the CCG's, Board Games, RPG's or other miniature games options, etc). Or if they actually had better prices in their stores than the other stores. About the only thing they really had going for them was that they did usually have a better stock selection of their products than the local Brick and Mortars (though even this wasn't always true, man I miss Pandemonium).

xKoBiEx Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 From first hand knowledge; it is not always the manufacturer that causes the problems. While I am not defending GW, I will say that a couple friends of mine have had serious issues with distributors...not GW...and had to close their doors because of it.

Part of that was because they wouldn't give product to the private guy. "Oh, sorry, delayed" or "that is out of stock".....meanwhile their own store a block away had 10.
