Morning all! I'll be in WEDNESDAY (not today, possibly not tomorrow, photography going on) so I'll post a few peeks of incoming stock for this week.

First up, we have a cheeky box of Gundam 05 flying in PLUS a very nice playmat combo which I'll show off on arrival.

Of course it's going to be another big Pokemon weekend. Kids are at school so I'll be putting our stuff out on Saturday, and I will be open from 10am on Friday because I can't be arsed with repeating myself.

BIG Squishy action this week. Again, more on that through the week. Might be time to think about Xmas presents?

Mini tin invites have been sent out! Look for your AardCore email (check your trash!). You have 3 days to respond, you don't have to accept, the offer will simply move to the next person.

We have a VERY small allocation of tins so it's a task to get these low amounts spread fairly. We hope it brings a smile to the faces of those who tag them from us.

Tech Blisters and Bundles were sent out and finalised a while ago.

Next on the List are the Figure Boxes and of course... Day and Night Boxes. This will be our hardest allocation. Financially we should just throw them at eBay, we won't. First up they will be offered to the customers who have supported us with purchases, with engagement and who we know are PURE collectors, who come for the love of the game. Honestly, that's most of our people. We are blessed and cursed, because it makes it hard to remove people from the list.

We will also be asking for a bit of help with Content. Not obligatory, but if you would be happy to be photographed with our kit that would be excellent.

Finally, we WILL be keeping a few back for Xmas and the inevitable Yacht Fund bump. I understand that a lot of stores have to, or feel the need to spin a few tales regarding stock and pricing. We don't. We tell you if we have it, if we are holding it or if it is going out and 1000000 x Market Price because 'we can'. It just means we don't have to keep changing the story.

Every Tin, Tech pack and Blister will be RRP. Mostly to App Members. Some bundle packs are being GIVEN AWAY. Some will be dropped into the display for Yacht Money. The Saucy Sue will not be floating on Warhammer Paints alone.

We make light of it, but we know it can be frustrating, but we are seeing more people get product and pulls (thank you 30th) thanks to stores following the Pack Limit and Invite principle. Cutting down on mass purchasing, and extending retail prices on packs through the weeks, rather than a single day of sales.

The Wizards is getting busier EVERY SINGLE WEEK. Our allocation is not getting any bigger. We do our best. Fortunately we have STRONG Warhammer and Modeling community behind us, who have been committed to the store for almost two decades. Incredible. They are NEVER forgotten. Our Warhammer Discord channel is our busiest and this reflects on our sales.

You guys will soon be rewarded. Believe it. What we have done for the TCG crowd is coming your way *but with less price gouging and more access to models.

Thanks for reading.

Zincy and AardCore Ninja are hard at work. Let's not stop them.

Gosh! SaturYaY already!

I’ll be spinning the wheel to see who wins our Pack in a Mug! Jacko is coming in to update the singles (soooooo many vintage and 30th) and Ed has promised to not complain about his broken 3D printer until next week.

Speaking of printers. We are behind on our Merch Store reveal, due to Ed’s broken printer…

We are gearing up for Wave 2 invites, Delta Reign and BRAND new Squishies for the kids!

Modellers, more kits are incoming and this drop features TANKS as the lead. Expect to see so fantastic Beasts of War next week.

Finally, a HUGE HELLO to our new students and those finding us for the first time. We hope Ed wasn’t too scary and you liked our small but uber range… we ARE getting bigger… just… hold tight.

When the wave hits on October 2nd Tins, Bundles and the Delayed Blisters should be available in stores.

We have already done our pre-orders for Tech Packs and Bundles, but we do have a small number of tins we will be throwing out.

AardCore Collector members, invites will be sent out at the weekend. Note that anyone who got the ETB or Bundle invite will NOT be in the pool for these, but Tech Packs will not count against Zincy's choosing.

Delta Reign Invites will also not count against the tins.

All tins will be RRP, one tin per invite.

Good luck .
