LAST RUN FOR MINIATURE BOOSTERS |
|
GamingReport has the
following info on the reprinting the out-of-print, Boosters. "I went to the
logistics department and initiated a trace on shipments/projected shipments of
Clone Strike boosters. Lo and behold, there are indeed Clone Strike boosters
being shipped out from the factories tomorrow, April 28th, along with Champions
of the Force."
 "If
WotC (International) is willing to order additional units of product, they can
order their own reprint of a product, unless brands
(USA) specifically tells them they cannot. Turns out no one told
(them) that they cannot reprint Star Wars Miniatures. So they ordered MORE Clone
Strike and Revenge of the Sith boosters."
So yes, Clone Strike and Revenge of the Sith boosters have been reprinted by
WotC (International). They will NOT be available for purchase in North
America. But us lucky Aussies will get a chance to complete our collection s
and boost our armies this July. Stock is limited so get your pre-orders in early
or you will miss out on the
Very last run of Clone & Sith boosters. |
