We have the new Spiderman partwork, Spiderman Heroes & Villians, out the front of the store facing the mall and hopefully attracting traffic. Our team placed it next to some school holiday supplies – a clever move. We also have limited stock in our partworks section. As usually happens with launch issues, most copies will sell from the front of the store. This is terrific impulse opportunity for the few remaining days of the current school holidays.
I notice that Part One includes Book 21
Do I anticipate that Part 2 may include Book 33, Part 3 include Book 7 etc etc.
I anticipate a future nightmare with backorders should a customer require for example, Book 4 when Book 4 comes out Part 29.
We are viewing this with a very predjudiced eye, may end up being very awkward.
H – that is correct. The volumes are being issued out of order. I presume it’s so the artwork on the spine does not match up to early and keeps the incentive going for the customer (me) to purchase them.
issue 1 is volume 21
issue 2 is volume 2
issue 3 is volume 43
issue 4 is volume 28
