Given that the Sponsored sheets page has been updated a few days ago to state that these and the ACD sheets will be available on the 21st of October, can we take it as read for those two?

I do see that some of the sponsored sheets do have a comment stating they will be available from SJG starting Oct 21st, but Nightfall sheet does not.

Personally, I don't know why the Nightfall sheet doesn't have that comment, and I'm not going to make assumptions, BUT... if SJG decided not to make the sheet available for awhile, until sometime later, I would probably think well of SJG just for even considering the 'sensitivty' of the issue for some people.

All I can say is that it does hurt to have not received what I paid for, while others are able to buy it elsewhere and actually walk away with their purchase. Though I do understand that SJG can't be responsible for the fact that FMG has let customers down. I certainly don't blame SJG in any way, but at the same time, any sense that SJG is at least sensitive to us is appreciated.

Perhaps it is a mistake on someones part at steve jackson games, but it states clearly 2 of the sponsor sheet will be available oct 21st

UNCOMMON OGRES...

"We have not heard from Walt for several months. He did not reply to our request to confirm a shipping address or our offer to refund his sponsorship and take over the sheets,
so his copies are still stacked in our warehouse. On October 21, this sheet will become available from Warehouse 23."


I can't wait...these will sell out immediately and then only be available on ebay for prices that would make an astronomer blush. *sigh*

But I sincerely Thank SJGs for everything they are doing to get these out to fans. It is very much appreciated! Thank You.

These will sell out quick but not quite 'immediately' imo. The major surge for OGRE DE is pretty much over and really only the ones who regularly monitor these threads will be 'in the know'.

You ought to know :-)

What's the percentage of your sheets that have sold so far? That's probably a reasonable indicator.

I don't think percentage is the issue here. I don't think they will allow to sell more than the original agreed upon holdback, which is the same for all the sponsored sheets. (300 I think) If more than that has been sold of the other sheets, then, yes, the 'available' stock will sell out quickly once word gets out.

It depends on what they legally decide to do with the bulk. Hold it until enough time has passed, or argue the buyer has disappeared and no longer has intrest in receiving.

That has nothing to do with my question, though.

My question was simply asking how many sheets he sold. Being one of the backers, he received his set of sheets, filled all of his existing orders, and would now have a percentage left over. Being one of (if not the) smoothest end-to-end backers, he would have a pretty good idea of how long it took to sell that percentage, and how much he has left over. That would give you a decent view of how rapidly the newly released sheets would sell (ie, helping to gauge how 'immediately' they would sell out).
