Backordered!

Cool.

Still waiting on my pre-ordered copy *glares at Canada customs*

Tiree · Unread post by **Tiree** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 5:27 pm

I am waiting for my pre-order too (should have had it sent UPS!) But there was 3 copies at my FLGS, and I picked one up.

Josh Sinsapaugh · Sun Mar 30, 2008 5:43 pm

Really?

Wow!

Anyone that is looking for a copy should hit up another website or your FLGS.

I wonder why they haven't updated it yet.

Does anyone know if this is the fastest that any book at Palladium has ever sold off?

Maybe they haven't received their shipment yet? Just guessing...

seems that way, doesn't it?
I'm amazed I got my copy as fast as I did...

It's not, but it's the fastest in a looooooong time.

I'm glad I ordered my copy on Wednesday then. They were still there then, and since priority mail was only 10 cents higher than standard first class, I jumped for it. *flips through her copy now*

Jason Richards · Sun Mar 30, 2008 8:14 pm

Actually, I might retract that earlier statement. I didn't realize that it had only been 10 days since shipping. I know that Palladium has moved more product in less time (like the launch of Rifts), but I don't know that there has been a sell-out that quickly.

AuroraKet · Unread post by **AuroraKet** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 8:18 pm

Well, the printing for Robotech wasn't quite as big as the one for Rifts, was it?

If the printing was smaller, it'd by nature run out more quickly. Though running out this soon is a good indicator that they should have printed quite a few more of them, to make sure demand was met.

Josh Sinsapaugh · Sun Mar 30, 2008 9:09 pm

Not sure.

What I am sure of though is that Palladium prints more copies per run than most other RPG companies - which makes 10 days (or less) impressive.

Other items in the catalogue are not listed as being backordered, but are listed as being In Stock.

True, but what is the Hottest item they have?
and how big was this Run? 10K copies?

Josh Sinsapaugh · Sun Mar 30, 2008 9:42 pm

Other books don't appear to be backordered... though that might be because they're not hot tickets right now. You may be right...

Colonel Wolfe · Sun Mar 30, 2008 9:59 pm

yeah, it would suck for them to get to many orders while they are techincally "offline" and come back to orders they cant fufill and angry robotech fanatics.

We don't know, and couldn't say if we did. I'm sure you understand.

You can still place orders.

A staffer should address this question tomorrow.

That information is confidential. Only the staff knows. Even we freelancers aren't privy to that info.

DOH! And here we were hoping that they were Backordered! Books Backordered means Palladium has more $$$

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Mon Mar 31, 2008 7:03 pm

That makes me very happy knowing that they sold the first set of the books! Awesome news!

Same here, though I wish I could do more at times.

Well, Palladium has to meet us halfway - publish more new books!

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 11:47 pm

I'm sure they'll (Palladium) be doing that for us soon enough.

Big Red · Unread post by **Big Red** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 8:43 pm

I just now gave in and ordered online. Every FLGS is out of stock. Looking forward to getting it.

Big Red · Unread post by **Big Red** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 11:30 pm

For what it's worth, one of my FLGS's only got in half their order, the other got a single copy. Each told me that their distributor assured them that more were coming, but neither of the guys I talked to had heard that it was already backordered. Both said that there's been a good deal of interest in it.

Aramanthus · Unread post by **Aramanthus** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 5:32 pm

Let's hope that supply problems get ironed out quickly!

Shawn Merrow · Tue Apr 08, 2008 11:35 am

I was finally able to order my copy last night and already been billed for it. I payed for USPS Priority Mail so it should be here soon.

Yes well, Canada being so devoted (and rightly so) to cleanliness they must inspect all incoming parcels for errant particles.

Well then citizen, I'm sure your parcel from that filthy, filthy, filthy country to the south has been properly sanitized.

I'm really jsut poking fun man. I love Canada and have had great time when I have been there. To tell the truth, the Wife and I are seriously considering making the move up north.

That or the Canadian customs are reading it over before forwarding it too you!

Copyright issues I think - making copies of all those printed materials.
