Holy Smokes!

Well a BIG set of shipments arrived late this week to really put September over the top.

First of all the Chemical Plants finally arrived, along with Syberclicks. This is more great stuff from Imex and Technolog -- Im sure you guys will enjoy it. Shipping that stuff out made Thursday rather busy :-)

Privateer stuff has been trickling in all week, and today the huge restock finally arrived. I haven't checked, but I think I am the only retailer in the country with stock of the Wave 24 Mercenaries - including the Ogrun Bokur! Most distributors put in restock orders with Privateer just before that wave came out, and thinking they had ordered enough Mercs in their new release orders they just let that sit instead of adding more to restock. Well the mercs were an unevpected smash hit, and stocks have been bone dry for a while. We ordered our restock just after Gen Con, and we added a serious number of mercs to our order. Still not enought tho - these will go quick so if you need mercs now is the time.

I have a bit more Privateer on the way that should arrive by Tuesday, and I think by then all the inventory holes will be closed. Well, unless orders open up a new one in the meantime. I wouldnt object too strongly to that :-) Trying to fill all the holes this week wasnt easy. All in all a tough week, but very good sales wise.

I am also working behind the scenes (when I am not streetfighting for inventory) on a pet project of mine, one that might not be as sucessful financially for the store but some things that I enjoy. Eh, there is more to life than money. I like how it is coming out, and we should be able to unveil it in October.

Good news for November, the return of an old TheWarStore tradition - more on this later :-)

Roll high!
