Official Statement on Battle of Helm's Deep Boosters
Decipher always uses the best information available at the time of a print
run to determine appropriate quantities for our products. Some of these
indicators may be distributor pre-orders, set size, product configuration,
potential new markets, and anecdotal evidence of consumer energy in the
marketplace. This is exactly the kind of information we used to determine
the print run for Battle of Helm's Deep. We did not do anything different
with this set, nor did we cut any distributor orders. In fact, we met all
of the distributor requests completely.
We are now sold out of boosters, and the product is in the distribution
pipeline. Some retailers are reporting they cannot get more product from
their distributor. We believe this may be a result of new players getting
into the game after The Two Towers set released. We continue to believe
we printed an appropriate amount of product for this set, but we will continue
to watch this in the near and distant future to see if there is a demand
for additional BOHD boosters. Our Sales and Marketing team will be available
at the GAMA Trade Show (GTS) next week to talk directly with retailers and
hear their feedback about the availability of BOHD boosters in the marketplace.
In addition, French, Spanish, Italian, and German-language Battle of Helm's
Deep is planned to be available in stores in late March or early April.
