Does anyone know when this product will be re-printed? Seems that Alliance didn't even get enough to cover the pre-orders much less have stock. I am dying to my hands on this but no game store in my area has it or seems to know when they will get any restock. Help.

You could try posting your location here, in case anyone here is in your area and knows of a stash of figures somewhere. Online stores are another option, but since they don't come with online opponents, I don't tend to buy too much there...

I'm in Miami, FL and have been told by my FLGS that their distributor is unable to get stock. He's mentioned some time in April for the next shipment to his distributor. I'm patiently awaiting my EFTF infantry!
 
Not to mention ERH has some of the best customer service in the business.
 
shows the game is selling in the US

our local games stores have tons of stock, one ofered me 25% to take them all of his hands !!! im tempted, maybe il push for 35%

One of the US distributors is shipping over the surplus European stock that we had left over. The last itme I talked to them they were planning on the product arriving before the end of this month.

Drop me a pm or email and I'll give you their details.

Was that 51? I doubt it was T Man.

Hmm, I'll be in 51 tomorrow.....

EDIT: Don't push it Evil, at 35% off they'll barely be recovering cost.

You get what you work for.

"I want sell all this stuff and you guys should just buy it because I have it."

I call it the Kevin Costner approach to business, "If you build it, they will come." (Field of Dreams) And in most cases you are dreaming, because they absolutely won't come unless you get them to.

i feel sorry for bristol gamers, the stores dont help the situation and just exspect us to do all the hard work.

they are their own worse enemy, they evan moved store to a location further away from prospective customers.

www.exodus-road.com has some PLA and EFTF left. the others are on backorder like everyone else.

Thanks but I prefer to support my FLGS. Yes it's more expensive, etc. but without a place to play, what's the point of buying all the games? But I am disappointed by what appeared to be a serious under-printing of this product. When a distributor such as Alliance can not even cover pre-orders with shipped stock, that's not a good thing. Granted I don't know the whats/whens/wheres/whys but it just strikes me as strange.

Given the number of people who cancelled preorders, or threatened to, after the pictures of the final product were released, I'm kind of surprised that they shipped as many as they did. Remember, they can keep things in the UK if they're worried about selling through: at least that way they don't risk taking a bath on shipping too.

But my FLGS still has boxes of everything available, or at least they did as of Tuesday. Don't know if it'll do you any good, though. Stonebridge Games, if you're in the area.
 
Game Parlor in Chantilly has a couple Type 99's, one Challenger, and a couple PLA infantry. I grabbed the last EFTF Inf. This is current as of 2200.
 
The battle store at tuggerah (NSW Australia) has a type 99, a British infantry box, 2 USMC infantry boxes and a M1A2
 
My local store, Wexford Hill Hobbies in Kettering, OH is currently sold out and probably won't get any more until the boat arrives from the UK, perhaps in a week or so. They told me their distributor is currently out of stock.

Yesterday, I found some British EFTF at my other local store, The Bookery in Fairborn, OH. I promptly bought all they had, so they are now sold out as well. :wink:
 
You guys that have local brick and mortar stores don't really realize what you have. We don't have one within 150 miles that is worth anything. My post promoring ERH wasn't meant to drive away business from a local shop, I encourage you to buy from there, because that is how gaming will continue.

Sorry for the slight drift.

On the contrary, I DO realize how lucky we are in southwest Ohio to have local game stores. The Columbus-Dayton-Cincinnati triangle has always had a very active gaming community with numerous stores having come and gone during my 25+ years of gaming. I am fortunate to live right between two stores, each about 15 minutes away from me. Both stores offer friendly in-store gaming space. So even though I'm not getting an internet discount, I try to buy from my local shops to keep them in business.
