getting cards in Europa
« on: October 14, 2016, 04:06:41 AM »
My local shop in Geneva (Switzerland) commands in Germany.

He sais that Academy-Priestress is still sold out.
He sais that Academy-Warlock isn't availlable yet.

Is that right? Hasen't priestress been re-printed allready? Hasen't Warlock allready arrived in Germany?

Hi Exid. I dont get it because i ordered about 6 core sets, 6 Warlocks and 6 Priestess three weeks ago. Have them all, distributed them all.

Try Brave New World (BNW)

Certainly we've had plenty of Priestess and Warlock in the UK...

Hmm, still no sign of Paladin vs Siren or Lost grimoire here in the Netherlands.  The distributor says they have no stock, therfore gamestores also have nothing.   We watch and wait,  and wait, and wait. .......

Europe seems like a terrible place to try and get Arcane wonders products

Seems linke Europe isn't Europe. Germany academy via AW-store was perfect (free shipping). Then PvS I did it wrong and had to pay tons for shipping from US. It was here in stores only a week after I got my pre-order sent. And Lost Grimoire was in stores even befor in US as I read.

Shipping for full Sets or getting promos is a pain in the ass, but for regular games germany is pretty fast so far. And from Netherlands it should be easy to order from germany or hop over the border.

Strange... The local store here gets his stuff shipped from the netherlands.

There's a very different picture country to country in all things - treating it as 'Europe' is usually wrong.

We also had Lost Grimoire here in the UK a couple of days before the US, PVS and Academy Warlock and Priestess were all very prompt.

The problem we have in the UK, when we have a problem, is not really anything to do with AW. We have one distributor of any size, who more or less have a monopoly, anything below that is more or less shops doing their own importing. So depending on decisions they make, we either get it at all shops or none, enough everywhere or not, get it promptly or months later.

We have a very wide network of online and FLGS, but a bottleneck at the distributor level.

You should try getting cards in Australia. Most stuff is out of stock or just non existent and it's rather expensive to get them shipped from the US.

Yes, I know you have hideous prices over there...
