Matrim 533 Posted October 5, 2017 And even better my initial three cores just arrived at my workplace. (Getting another from a different store to 'hint' that they should run tournaments and show players are interested plus 4 cores will slightly reduce proxy count) 3 Doji Ronishi, Togashi Gao Shan and OsramTaleka reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Togashi Gao Shan 772 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) My local shop isn't getting them until til tomorrow at the eat. Ugh. Silly that it's irritating me, since I can't do anything with the cards tonight anyway, but still. Given how much the shop owner dislikes dealing with Alliance (FFG's exclusive distributor), I wasn't sure he would support the game. I can't really blame him.

Hos 173 Posted October 5, 2017 We had a fantastic launch party at our local store. People who didn't know anything about l5r had a game with our spare decks, loved it and bought in. 2 OsramTaleka and Fu Leng reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alliance hosed our shop -- earlier in the week he confirmed with Alliance that they were shipping for Thursday arrival. Thursday comes and they "just didn't get them shipped". Other stores in the area are getting shorted on their orders after confirming the numbers. 1 Togashi Gao Shan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shirys 150 Posted October 6, 2017 I have it, 2 core sets in my hands! Want to open it so bad but i am currently at work, aaaaaaarrgl !! ... 1 Chron73 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Togashi Gao Shan 772 Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) So, Alliance really screwed up our local store's order. The core sets won't be here until at least Monday. Maybe Asmodee buying FFG was good for them in some ways, but the switch to using Alliance as an exclusive distributor was a terrible decision. I know several game store owners who have stooped carrying FFG products since the switch, due to horrible treatment by Alliance. If I still had my own game shop, I'd have a hard time carrying stuff, too.

Blutsteigen 89 Posted October 7, 2017 wandered into the release party on an unrelated matter, and watched 42 Core Sets sold in one hour. Pretty wild. I'm sure I'll get sucked in shortly lol. 2 Notorious I.D.E. and Asako Michi reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doji Ronishi 12 Posted October 7, 2017 Sadly my fellow players my store is waiting to pick them up from the distributor. I have to wait just a little bit longer LOL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
selderane 148 Posted October 8, 2017 My store got screwed. Didn't get them in the 5th. Didn't get them yesterday. UPS still has the delivery in the same place they did Thursday. UPS doesn't deliver on weekends. Monday is Columbus Day, so the store owner doesn't know if they'll be delivered then. Had to cancel the release event. Thanks Asmodee. You've done a great job making sure my store doesn't run events in the future. They're not fans of looking stupid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chron73 61 Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Went to the launch event at my FLGS and it was nice to see so many people showing interest in the game. Having played the CCG from Imperial until 2003, it was great to go back to Rokugan. I had high hopes, but wasn't sure I'd love the new iteration as much as the original. Turns out I like this version better, same feel with fresh and updated mechanics. The only negative I can come up with is how long a game takes, but I know that will improve drastically as everyone gets the rules and flow of the game down. Couldn't have asked for a better launch imho Edited October 8, 2017 by Chron73 2 Matrim and LordBlunt reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
