RBFII - Status

[paul]

I didn't attend ASLOK so had to order my copy. I haven't received it and Steve didn't reply (via his paypal email).
Just wondering what the status is? Are they shipping?

Steve and I talked about an issue last night, and I was going to post today once I got better resolution, but dont think I will today.

The bad news side is that we are temporarily out of stock. The print company did a small # so we had copies for ASLOK and to hold us off for a week or so. They were supposed to deliver more the Thursday after ASLOK...15 days ago! I know they had some equipment problems and the owner had a family medical emergency. Three times last week they were dropping them off at my house and never showed I dont even want to speculate when we will get more because of the delays, but I dont think it can be more than a few days now that the owner is back.

For everyone if you ordered you either received it, or it has been delayed a little. I have all the packages ready to go, including a Paul Hart of NJ.
I am sure this is frustrating if you are eagerly waiting, and I will post more updated info as soon as I get it.
The good news side is that the mag sales are good

Wow, is this the same printer from BtB fame?

 

[Klaus Fischer]

Nope, even a completely different state :crosseye:


Looks as if we have to print our next product in Germany :surprise:

 

[Chas]

1330 115 copies picked up

1500 91 orders sent.

Not going to post a list here, but if you have been waiting should have it before the weekend. Overseas a couple days after that.
Thanks for your patience.

Good to hear - i'm waiting for it to appear in Hobbycraft in Alaska so i can order it from there.

-Jay

 

[Chas]

Jay,

If you live close by, should be able to pick one up from there on Saturday! Then again, does stuff take longer to get to Alaska?

Others,

Simultaneous good and bad news, however we will give you more timely and accurate information than the exit polls! Have already sold out of remaining copies of RBF 2 delivered yesterday, with several outstanding orders.
Printers are supposed to have more ready on Friday. We will ship immediately on getting them.
Thanks for your patience.

Chas,

Can you let us know who you've not managed to get one to in this batch?

Thanks
Dave.

Any chance they've made it to Alex Key? My order is with him as I am sure are a number of others.

 

[Chas]

Houlie,

I will double check with Steve, but to the best of my knowledge Alex has not placed an order with us yet. Will have Steve contact him as well.

Chas

 

[Jay White]

Thanks for the info, Chas.

 

[Chas Argent]

Hmm, that's strange; I placed an order with Alex as well. Time to look elsewhere I suppose.

 

[Chas]

Gents,

All orders for RBF 2 received up until this morning have been shipped as of 15 minutes ago This also includes the Austin/Central Texas ASL club mass order.
For those that ordered RBF 2 and something else recently, they are coming separately.

Chas

 

[Houlie]

Chas,

Any communication with Alex Key? Thanks.

 

[Chas]

Been trying to get everyone's orders out within 24 hours after receiving them if possible. Got behind over the holiday, but every order has been shipped as of today.

Also, should be shipping to Alex K. on Wednesday.

Gentleman; Please excuse my ignorance, but what is RBFII?

 

[Houlie]

Heat of Battle's ASL Magazine "Recon By Fire 2". It comes with scenarios (on card stock) and some articles, much like ASL Journals.

 

[Chas]

Just to clarify the scenario cards on not on cardstock, but are part of the magazine similar to the Journal.
