In mildly annoying news, and once again indicating
communications problems between somebody and retailers, the release date for
the Superman and the Legion of Super Heroes set for Heroclix got pushed back
from February 12th to February 26th. I did not learn this until I called my
Alliance sales rep to see about adding some items to the shipment and found the
date had changed. A date shift like this
should have gone out to every Alliance account ahead of time, especially since
some of us do take pre-orders and run special events tied to new WizKids
releases, even though the company doesn’t support them., meaning we had three
days’ notice to contact players letting them know we had to push the booster
tournament back two weeks. A lot of
contacting of people in a short period of time.
This is the 2nd time WizKids has missed a street date in the past 6 month. It's not so bad with boardgames or RPGs, because players don't as avidly await those as they do collectible games. Imagine the hue and cry if Konami, or even worse, WOTC misses a release date.
