Hmmm...that's actually a pretty good idea. I think I'll try and see if my venue will sell them early. I wonder if they even have them in stock yet? Thanks!

*Sigh* Over a week to go till I can get my clix fix, now I'm just staring at these threads trying to force the clix to appear by sheer mental demand.

Right/wrong, what sucks is if that Hastings does get penalized in a "you can't carry our stuff" kind of way, and that's the only local source of clix those guys have.

I'm just hoping that other people have purchased some. I really want to see those final few SR's and Chases.

Considering that Hastings is one of the now biggest chain stores that sells comics and clix cutting off that revenue stream and accessibility to clix would be worse than what they've done imo.
A fine or shipping them product later next time would be a better solution/punishment imo.

Telling a venue they wont be able to sell seems like the wrong punishment. The more apt punishment is in the future not to ship to that store until the week after the release date. If they dont care about the release date then they wont mind when they get the product.

We're all getting mired down in this whole debate on street dates when the real problem is that we're not all getting our clix today. Street dates are important and all, but waiting another week sucks crits.

I agree. I wants my Supermans!!!!

It shouldnt be difficult.

Just follow the link to the original release date article...

Print out the article with the Sept 14th release date and take it your venue and ask them why they dont have the product on the shelf yet?

If WK doesnt care, why should you or your venue?

How are you going to report a store for breaking the street date and then advocate asking venues to break street date as well? Ridiculous. Stop being jealous and deal with waiting.

Uhm. What is this Hastings thing you speak of? Never heard of it. I tried googling it but ended up at a Russian teen transvestite website. I was obviously doing something wrong.

frankly.....no.....

Its not about jealousy its about policy.
Is it a serious policy or not?
Ill take that ethical question to its own thread for discussion....

The point being to araise awareness of the issue.

Those that follow the rules always suffer in terms of competiveness against those that break them.

That's because you searched Harry Strings instead of HASTINGS. I make the mistake... repeatedly.
