They left a lot of money in Indianapolis. I think that is inexcusable. They told me to go to thier site and sign up for a "second printing".

faro wrote:Yeah, Martin; sounds like they neither care about the money, nor their customers.Telling that story someone who has bothered to turn up at GenCon and arrives at their stall 90 minutes after opening time ain't going to go down well. "Oh, you can send in an order, plus postage, and maybe we'll run you off a 'second print' if we can justify that".Saves me the expense of ordering those I was missing from their back-catalog, too, I guess.

faro wrote:Sounds more like a serious misjudgment to me and I'm pretty sure they're well aware of the collectability aspect (they cannot be that blind to the reception of previous limited editions).Anyhow; as to "cautious about money [issues]", what company can keep business running by selling just 60 copies of a product on a regular basis, far less afford to bring only that number to what could/should be their #1 money-spinning event?
