Entoyment - new stock

**flash** · 10-09-2023 01:56

The rarest of things happened the other day - Entoyment received some new WoG stock from the distributors.
As you can imagine the local Wings community fell upon it like hungry chaps coming across a free Barbeque in the middle of nowhere so there ain't much left, however, if there are some new chaps out there after a copy of the RAP (Rules and Accessories Pack) they have plenty of those for 27 quid.
I have no idea if other outlets were similarly blessed but this is my local gaming store & I know the owner has had a standing order at the distributors for literally years and no-one was more surprised than him when they turned up !

Now supplies are coming from Hong Kong and not locked down in China, hopefully this is the thin end of the wedge, stock wise.

Not quite as severe... according to Roberto the U.K. stock goes through Esdevium.
He is going to speak to the sales director maybe we can open up a new line of dialogue. Would be good if we could have more transparency around stock distribution, I.e. who gets what and when.

Great to hear that 'Entoyment' got some stuff in - enough to set off a feeding frenzy!

Here's hoping the it happens again soon.

It goes through Asmodee, who took over Esdevium, and are the main UK distributor for games. This is who Pete has the standing order with and who tell him they can't get product from Ares.
I believe it was Roberto that Pete spoke to at Ares in his attempt to get direct supply and who told him they didn't have any to give, so don't hold your breath. We've been here before, one says they have it, the other says they can't get it from them, so someone's telling porky's but maybe something has shaken loose recently, only time will tell.

Didn't realise Asmodee were Esdevium.

Neither do they!

They've managed to replace a good Distribution system with a sh!t one!

Entoyment has had another unexpected influx of Wings models, even managed to fill the rack this time, even got some boaty bits !

Just Kidding!!!!!

Apart from the new 'Ares' releases, I'm DOWNSIZING my collection, not adding to it!

Exception - certain Reduced Aircraft Factory planes are yet to be acquired...

**flash** · 11-10-2023 06:53

Staff did mention someone has been ordering online in quantity, the figure twenty was mentioned !

**Flying Helmut** · 11-10-2023 09:11

Twenty?

Piffle!

Amateur.

**Hedeby** · 11-11-2023 03:25

Wonder if anyone else has stock...

**Baz** · 11-11-2023 04:36

…..just need them to get new balloons in stock now.

**tikkifriend** · 11-11-2023 08:32

Had a heads up from Ares re postal addresses in Europe so things might be moving along . Room on Santas sleigh perhaps.

Maybe but only if they've ordered it. I know Pete has had long term standing orders in with Asmodee for years now so perhaps they're just sending whatever they can get; maybe his moaning direct to Ares shook the tree and Asmodee are finally getting stuff in from them, or, (says the cynic on me) maybe it was all held back to coincide with the balloon releases.

I noticed the other day that the shop had the Giants in stock, RAP sets, mats, Balloons & N.16's as well as some older series tandems as well as some Austrian kit.
