Small suburban agents.25 boxes as in 2.5 cases? How big are these stores?
Westridge. They also own High Steet Plaza.
Same here, from caloundra to North Lakes havent found a single placeHaven’t come across a box or folder for Elite on the sunny coast!
There’s less newsagents stock this year because TLA pulled over 200 cases of their stock to give to dealers.
seems like a lack of mojos but oddly there was at least 3 or 4 team league sensations found within the first two days of release from newsagents alone, obviously doesnt speak for everyone with a small sample size but im not sure how many on average have been coming out of the breaks eitherThree of the newsagents in Brisbane South listed as being stockists for this release didn't receive any despite being told they would. Maybe not such a bad thing with the 'slim pickings'in newsagent boxes to date.
Well 200 is high as I originally went off there being 16 case cardsYou made that number up didn't you?
If that were true it would only leave 10 Cases left for Newsagents. So the list of 172 stockists that was released each got 14 packets of Elite .
Yep having a list of stockist is completely different to them actually getting stock. I’ve spoken to several that use to get stock and got none. The few that did got a email saying they wouldn’t be able to order anymore and what they got was it. Pretty sad really.Three of the newsagents in Brisbane South listed as being stockists for this release didn't receive any despite being told they would.

Well 200 is high as I originally went off there being 16 case cardsbut would be at least 136 if the parallel case cards are numbered to 17 would it not 8 x 17?
So Newsagents were given a chance to order what they wanted to help with their demand? Or did the demand only come from one area? I’m sure if many were given a chance to order more or any in many cases they would have taken it up instead they got told after the fact of stock going elsewhere. Plus I won’t mention the fact that minimum allotment of stock was obviously all the hitless boxes as part of itTLA are contracted to meet a minimum order volume that must be supplied to Newsagencies. Obviously this contract was fulfilled. The excess volume that would normally overflow to Newsagents due to not enough demand elsewhere did not exist for this release.
So it spreads it around more and not to just a tiny few controlling majority of stock that’s why. People will always buy to get their cards no matter what. If one release was a 100% pure newsagents only release people will create demand for them to order more and it would sell out. It’s the collectors that push the demand yet only a few control said demandWhy would a Newsagent, who has Trading Cards as 0.1% of the different product lines they offer, get 1st priority on orders over small businesses that are fully committed to growing the hobby? Who's still going to be there supporting the products in a down year? The small hobby shops who have no alternatives because they only deal in trading cards.....or a retail shop with hundreds of other options?
