Hi, BWHQ–hope this is mostly the right forum for such a question (I am trying to get started… by buying the book!
I try to deal exclusively with my FLGS, Sci Fi Genre in Durham, NC. I just contacted them about Mouse Guard, because they have it listed as “Pre-Order” on their web site. Their reply was that Diamond [Comic Distributors?] lists it as pre-order, too, though “it looks like the release date has been pushed back.” (I guess that means sooner? Stupid, MBA-invented temporal terminology…)
So, BWHQ, what’s up with the availability of the Origins and Indie Game Awards Best Game winner (and possible multi-win in the Ennies, too!)? I suspect you are about to undergo a BIG demand, and yet a significant distributor has an uncertain status for your book!
I am taking it up with SFG. Diamond has something borked in their systems, I think. I also suggested Alliance, in the event that SFG has an account with them as well.
Thanks for the hyper-speed response–oh, wait, Best Support. ;^)
I am ready to make a buy, but am sort of confused. Should I hold out for the second item, because it’s so hawtness? Or shouldn’t I hold my breath, because it’s WAY off in the future?
The second link is the correct book and price. It certainly isn’t in preorder any more – we’ve sold thousands of copies through Diamond, Alliance and IPR.
OK, I am trying to get them sorted out in their order database (though I’d happily pay $15 for it!). That could mean Diamond needs sorting, but I suspect SFG just has an outdated catalog and/or database link (or something–not sure how they communicate with Diamond).
I’m assuming you don’t have a LGS? I’ve been able to keep my shop in stock easily with Alliance distribution. Being a big fan of the game I push it rather heavily on my customers (snicker)
