Vote away!

Poll will run for two weeks, then I'll put up one for the next question.

Though I don't play I'm attempting to get boosters into stock at work (Waterstones Wrexham)

If I can I might be able to buy them at discount for the club, no promises though

[Teflon Billy]

Let us know if you succeed in getting them in stock.

I voted option 2, but option 1 is good too,

I'm willing to chip in for the box so one person doesn't have to pay the full amount.

[phreaxboy]

Been chasing them up (I've had them on order since we last sold out over a month ago)

Looks like if I get them at all it'll be early February, too late for this time then.

It's the Scars of Mirrodin boosters and decks I've got on order, though I may change that to the new Mirrodin Besieged if they're not delivered soon.

If anyone's got any suggestions for other sets to order just let me know, as I said I don't play so I'm just going on what the latest releases are.

I would hopefully be able to buy boosters individually at 33% off retail price. Whether this makes it any cheaper than buying a whole box of boosters I don't know.

Set your calculator to maths!

.

By my rough calculations it would be about 40p cheaper per pack. Approx £2 ea   .

I had a bit of a chat with Chris on Monday:


The set would either be Scars of Mirrodin (1st set in the new block) or Mirrodin Besieged (2nd set due out at the end of January).

If he can buy them at a discount they would cost around £2 ea. (he can only buy individual packs not boxes).

He also mentioned that we may need to act quickly to buy them, as last time they sold out.


If he can get them (there's apparently a small chance they may not arrive) this seems the best way to buy them, cheap & avoids the left over packs thing.

I have played alot of draft and sealed tournaments, it makes it alot more fun when there are prizes involved, if people pay standard price for their 3 boosters the prizes are covered. Bit of friendly competition . If money ends up being left over the cost of the box either split it between players or put it aside with the intent to buy a box in the future to do a free to play draft or some such.

Sounds good for me. We will have a chat and see if we can work out if there is going to be one or two of us attending.

[phreaxboy]

Good news and bad news...

Good news: the boosters arrived at work, yay!

Bad news: they arrived while I was away and have already sold out, boo!

I've already ordered more and at least I know we can definitely get them now.

There is a Plan B to stop this happening again. I'll have a word with someone about this tomorrow and see if I can put a customer order in for them myself with my discount. Hopefully I'll know before Monday. All I'll need to know then is how many packs you want.

[HDimagination]

Just to confirm, shell and I will definately plan to attend. If one of us can't make it at the last minuite, then we will still buy the boosters that are spare

[Teflon Billy]

[phreaxboy]

Confirmed everything today, shouldn't be any problem. Another plus point is it looks like our warehouse is splitting up boxes and sending out individual boosters now so I can order amounts as required (though I pity the stores that ordered '1' assuming they'd get a box!)

I'll confirm prices and have a chat with you on Monday. It'll still take 2 to 4 weeks to get them in as the warehouse order them as required but should be a little quicker as I'm ordering as a customer.

It's a lot easier if I can pay when I place the order but I can pay later if that's a real problem

[Teflon Billy]

[Teflon Billy]
