LotR Re-stock

Everyone, Joel is making a big order on LotR products (which is over due seeing how he is almost out of stock).

Please express your interest in this gaming system to give him feed back. He explain his reluctance to order more due to uncertainty of sales. I counter that customers are not going to tell you of their desires, they will just look for product and if they do not see it, they will go else for their purchase.

I made suggestions on which items would have the most success in selling.

Ooh! Awesome!

I'd be interested in:
Wood Elves Box set
Wood Elves Command Blister
Wood Elves Sentinels Blister
Fall of the Necromancer Supplement
Uruk-hai Siege troops Box-set
Mordor Orcs Box set
Morannon Orcs Box set
Mordor Supplement
Saruman and Grima Blister
Uruk-hai Siege Ballista
Sauron Blister

Now of course I won't get this all at once but my birthday is in two months! So I'll get it over time.

Solkritt, most of the items mentioned (mordor box set, wood elf box set,)will be on the order except the blisters and supplement books. Joel not secure enough to have those in regular stock, they would have to be special order.

I am interested in the Mordor source book and army units.

Sunshine sold out of LotR product in record time, Joel had to re-order this week. He should be re-stock by the end of the week.

Once again I talk him into buying blister, I tried to make the list small but practical. Now if only Game (F-the customer) Workshaft does not talk him out of it again, you should see some command units (Captains), and special units (berserker) and other much needed items.

Do you believe that, GM talk him out of getting blisters!!! They go over the top promoting this product (much to the detriment of other lines) and when someone finally makes an order, THEY TELL HIM NOT TO DO IT!
Tell me this company is not totally FUCK in the head.

JerryB

Wow...Did they really tell him to not order blisters for LotR? that's a bit counterproductive isn't it? I'd really like to get my hands on some more Uruk crossbowmen and Berserkers.Btw,I can't wait 'till the tourney!

Yes, as incredible as it sounds, GW did in fact tell Joel NOT too get blisters.

On the other hand Solskritt, you could look at this in another light, anything GW hates (within their own product line) is usually their best stuff. For example, a lot of people love Blood Bowl, and GW gives little to no support.

JerryB

Sunshine has received their re-supply!

With Blisters this time!

Joel's LotR stock is getting sparse again. I will have to talk to the knuckle head.
Ya know I am truly surprise LotR is succeeding, Joel fights me every step of the way. Games Workshop tells him not to order (according to him). You think both Joel and GW would give me salute and a thumbs up, but instead I get a kit in the ass and the finger.

I will update everyone when he re-stocks.

JerryB

Joel has been sliding on ordering shit period. I want a few pots of the black and brown ink wash and he hasnt restocked since that item was released.

Very true, Rok. I had ask about "tin bitz" and he is reluctant to resupply that also.

JerryB

Tell him to order a Harashin ! I needz one of those !

Frantic, I am always begging Joel (for everything) to re-stock LotR. I obviously want to maintain the momentum.
I also know most believe I have Joel's ear, but he rarely listen to me (unless I pull my wallet out and I pay for it) even though it is in the best interest of all involve, the win win situation I am always striving for.

The Harashin are the assassins squad of Haradrim yes? How many do you need?

JerryB

I was at the store yesterday and LoTR is slim pickens, but he said he is restocking next week.

Yes, I bought over $200 worth of stuff and he was pissing moaning that he did not have any money to restock, then everyone will buy mail order because he does not have stock and then he'll complain everyone is mail ordering, fucking unbelievable....!!!

That's right Joel, don't re-order (he does read this board btw)

JerryB
Notice I sign my real name!

Im gonna pick up the war of the ring book and the only box of easterlings he has.

He'll have a shit! He is always surprise when a LotR purchase is made. You made be buying the last available book.

I believe he secretly hates LotR, for reasons unknown.

JerryB

No - he hates fantasy

ShadowMaster, really? I doubt it? He speaks glowlying of both 40K and Fantasy, at least to me.
Yet, he almost most sneers when the LotR subject comes up. May be I am paranoid.

JerryB

I need more Uruks!!!

Hehe, sounds like a grand old time!

JC or Jerry, do you guys play on Sundays at all, or is it just Tuesdays? When I come back in town I may be interested in learning a bit more about it.

Nah - I was goofin' since he bounced Luis and I for the D&D geeks
I played D&D for MANY years. You don't need 18x4 of table, even with 16 players

I'll add a smiley

Heh, smiley's make everything comical.

ShawdowMaster, without a doubt Joel has a complete hard-on for D&D. I think it stems from the days his store was mostly roleplaying.

Scurrdi, we play Sundays and Tuesday evenings (unless we get thrown out due to D&D; Magic; World of Warcraft; L5R; Battle Tech or Star Trek).

But not this Sunday, I believe there is going to be a big Apoch-ah-thing

JerryB

Sunday is Easter - bad day for a tourney

I just called him. The tourney is next week so we are good for this sunday ! I will be there.
