Thanks Gary! But to be honest, I am really only looking for Bricks & mortar stores. I will be launching www.rivalsky.com.au as an online retail store tonight!!
If online stores contact me wanting stock, sure I won't hold back from supplying them, but its the Bricks & Mortar stores I am actively pursuing
gotta get them on the shelves again~!
So glad to hear your are 'up and running', Evan! Good luck as things progress...
I have thought that OZ has need this sort of thing for a while now, especially with all of the 'down-unders' desiring more attention from Ares and its minions - thank goodness you've stepped up to enter minionhood...
All the best,
Matt
Good news, I have been given the green light by the Brisbane Gaming Society to run Wings of Glory as a participation game at Briscon from 28-30 April - http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/sho...-30-April-2017
After a hiatus of a few years Briscon kicked off again last year and is QLD's biggest gaming convention. Emperor's Legions will have a stand at the venue, so it will be a great event to show off the BoB starters and squadron packs, stir up a bit of interest and hopefully move some product.
Hi Evan,
Probably a silly question given your business name but are you doing Sails of Glory as well?
Hi Xen
Congratulations on this one - I only hope that we can generate a big enough income stream for you.
Way back in the dim dark past I bought my first miniatures from the local "Games World' shop at Tea Tree Plaza. They have long since stopped stocking due to (according to them) uncertain supply but they do stock heaps of miniatures for X-Wing. I wonder if it is worth reopening a dialogue with them?
Looking on the interweb, there seems to be 2 distinct Gamesworld stores - here in South Australia (http://www.gamesworldsa.com.au/) and nationally (https://www.gamesworld.com.au/).
Good one Wayne,
I had forgotten about that lot. The Games World in the city actually said they did not stock it because of supply difficulty when I asked them about 18 months ago I think it was.
I see you have the Battle of Britain stuff up on your Gear & Goggles ebay shop as well - http://stores.ebay.com.au/Gears-and-...=p4634.c0.m322
Would you prefer members who are buying online to through the Rival Sky page or ebay?
Hey guys, sorry for the delay.
Yes, definitely, however I was very disappointed to discover that the starter set is out of stock at Ares, so I don't want to pursue the several stores I had expressing interest in it. I need to wait for the starter to be reprinted, then I will order some in, with all the expansions. I am tempted to buy some of all the expansions, but is just going to sit in my storage until starters are available most likely.Probably a silly question given your business name but are you doing Sails of Glory as well?
Thanks for the tip! And I do have some strategies in place to make supply more certain, given that Ares has a release rate that does allow some starter sets to lapse from time to time."Games World' shop at Tea Tree Plaza.

Definitely through my website, as I am in the process of testing the website. Its operational, but only with some of my stock so far. Many fixes and tweaks are on the way. So orders through there are preferred. I also Pay less fee's through my website.Would you prefer members who are buying online to through the Rival Sky page or ebay?
Thanks guys! New BOB unboxing video hopefully coming out tonight
More good news for Kapow Kollectibles.
After our Games Club meeting last night 3 Squadron packs were ordered through him today with more stating their interest.
I plan to do a BoB Game using my Starter Box + other BoB stuff I have at our games night 14th March.
And the good news keeps coming! From the Queensland front the Emperor's Legions have taken delivery of the several Battle of Britain Starters and a brace of squadron packs.

Hope your evening went well Evan, I would love to see some AAR pictures.
Played a game today at Emperor's Legions. We had a customer come to the shop while I was playing and he left with a BoB Starter Set - so it begins!

I'm seeing stock in the local shops; an excellent development.
Xen, do you have any insider information as to when the out-of-stock but in-production planes are expected to be available? The DH.2 in particular?
Hey mate glad to see you are seeing them around.
Well, they aren't actually in production. Once an Ares line is sold out, they have only reprinted them fast if they sold out very very fast, the Gothas and Caproni's are a good example.
While the DH2's and Eindeckers sold out over a few years, the Morane Saulniers did not.
So when they do get reprinted, after a long list of others in line first, I expect they will come with different paint schemes.
I have no insider info on this, just that I know there is no current production for any release except for the new releases.
SO my guess, is Series 3 Wings of War reprint (mid year 2017) Series 4 reprint with the Se5's (no idea when) then its a toss up between the DH2's & Eindeckers series reprint, or the wildcats/zeroes etc reprint. I would guess no earlier than 2019.
Others might have more of an idea than me!
Hi Evan, I take it you will be ordering in the Series 3 WGF reprints?
Ooooooo. So, everything is in fact out of print, and the correct distinction is sold out or not. Then there's a years-long wait for reprints, compounded by any given plane being bound in a series to other products that may take years to sell out.
Excuse me, I need to dash off and buy a couple of Yaks.

That is correct!
Cheers mate, glad to hear more people into the Russian Front!
Yes, but they won't be coming as an advance release date or anything like that. Ill have them by Air from USA though so still in time for the standard release date.Hi Evan, I take it you will be ordering in the Series 3 WGF reprints?
It's great that you will stock them Evan, you can put me down for a dozen Albatros D.IIIs right now.
But in regard to the delivery process, well they say a picture paints a thousand words.........
Was in Military Hobbies earlier this week purchasing a Duel pack for my grandsons birthday present when I noted the shelf below - BoB starter sets!
