Where's the Phonogram shirts?
I'm thinking of trying to get them sorted in time for the December con in the UK. FINGERS CROSSED. To echo Jamie's comments, thanks enormously for the review. Our first one, so it really means a lot to us. KG |

Just wanted to say that it is impossible to get Phonogram in Central London, it has sold out in 4 shops, and I tried my Comic Shop in Romford on top of that. All the shops are getting more in.
It seems none of them knew what to order and most just got it in for those regular customers who asked for it, now they just have people walking in and asking for it. I expect a lot more copies to be available this week. I hope.

Thanks Mark, I should be able to get it eventually. It was actually Michael and I looking for it, Tony Lee had pimped it to Michael to get, so we spent most of Saturday trying to find copies.

Good thing I put it on my pull list...
I will raise hell if they forgot it. My lCS has a nasty habit of forgetting issues (Which I'll put a stop too if I get a job there).

I dunno, you spent months and months hammering home the point that if people don't preorder then shops don't know there's a demand, and still most people wander into the shop a few days after release expecting to be able to get hold of it. I can't moan too much, I do exactly the same thing.  There's 5 or 600 copies left at Diamond before we sell out the print run. |

It's always a problem, people don't know they want it until it's out and it gets recommended or similiar.
I see this difficulty as a good thing for your Jamie, as more people will be trying to get hold of it, and the stores will have a better idea of how many to order in for later issues.
Supply/Demand - you gotta love it.

In a way it's good - and it's good press to say "Hey, it sold out!" The main problem is the system currently set up for comics ordering - shops have to order the first three issues before the first one is even out. |
