Back in April we were told that the plan was to get the UK year 3 quickly so that we could catch up to the US.
Now we are still waiting and waiting.. Freddy mentioned that he had seen the kits and that they were in the UK office.
BUT we have never seen them.. and now we probably won't at all.
It seems that we never had more than some of the cards in the UK that we will not complete year three kits or even all the promo's ..
It seems there is to be no reprint for the UK and I take it probably europe and we are to yet again get US cast offs and what is left basically..
So here we are 6 months after MTM and Lee from WotC UK assured us it would be different this year and OH LOOK IT'S THE SAME..
add to that back to non-returned phone calls and I am NOT A HAPPY TEDDY, BUNNY or PLUSH PSYDUCK..
Aggghhhhh... then I find out that the 100+ flyers I printed myself to go to all the leagues and players in teh UK ref the 15th December have not been sent and ..well what is the point in bothering.
I am back to feeling crappy again and wondering why I bother... It really wouldn't be so bad if we just got to know in advance then we could buy the cards we are not going to get of e-bay where all the Gym Leaders are flogging them anyway..
Good game this ...NOT!

I TOTALLY agree ukpokémonpro, this is really starting to annoy me. Nothing is happening at all, we're not seeing new cards, new kits, new anything. What is the point of running all these things for my league members if Wizards of the Coast isn't seen to give two monkeys what we do?
We've run Gym Challenges, GenConUK, tournaments and Leagues off our own backs. And this is the thanks that we get. We have always wanted to maintain the player base. Why oh why doesn't WotC ever, ever, ever get to see things from OUR POINT OF VIEW???
That WOULD be REFRESHING to see. But it's not going to happen. What is, is that the goodies are all stuck in some 'warehouse' that someone can't be bothered to order and fetch and send to us.

Maybe a little mail to WotC USA to explain the situation ?
I remember when you've traded kits and promos with other leagues because you hadn't received the material. Not your job guys ... and don't forget that league kits and promos are 'protected' as Wizards prevent people of selling league promos
No answer from London ... try Renton
Wouldn't that be another reason why kids quit the game ? Promos like other material is important for them !
I'm sure there are people at Wizards who DO understand that.

Ahh Michel if only it were that simple .. here's where the politics come in and WotC US only refer us back to WotC UK.
3 YEARS AND NO COMPLETE SET OF LEAGUE PROMOS..
No wonder the leagues are failing when it is all we can do to keep them going without promo support.
The last lot of year 3 promo's I got were the ones I managed to get off Lee's desk but we are still missing loads of them...

Have you been in contact then with Lee? This is a surprise, he's not keeping in touch with the Master Profs but he is with yourself...?

nah, Irwin means that his mails to MTM are forwarded back to Lee...
I think we should take flaming brands, door rams and blackadder quotes to Stockley Park, Uxbridge...
