Hi there,
Welcome to the latest Reel Collectibles E-Newsletter. In this edition: Upcoming Armageddon expos, Shannon joins our team, World War Robots, Weta and making purchases easier.
Next shipment date...
We have been trying new options with our suppliers to get shipments here on a more regular basis. Once we have returned from the Armageddon Expos, we will be organising our next shipment, with an anticipated arrival of around the end of April/start of May. If you would like to order any items on our website that state 'Available to order for next shipment', they must be ordered and paid for by Monday 12th April in order to make the shipment.
Please feel free to contact us to confirm availability of any item.
In the news...
Armageddon Christchurch and Wellington
Over this weekend, Sarah and I will be packing up as much of the shop as we can in preparation for the upcoming Armageddon Expos. Christchurch is up first next weekend on the 27th/28th March, followed by Wellington over Easter weekend. The Wellington event is a 3 day event this time around, with new opening times. We hope to catch up with as many of our internet customers and friends as we can, if you're attending the expos (which you should be!), make sure you pop by our stall and say hello. For more details on the expos, check out the Armageddon Website.
Please note that whilst we are away at the expos, our store will be closed and we will be unable to process any internet orders until we return.
Facebook and Twitter
Our own Reel Collectibles Facebook Group and Twitter accounts have been extremely popular. Any new updates on our website that get put up on our home page get replicated on both Facebook and Twitter, so you can pick whatever method is easiest for following your favourite collectibles.
Star Wars New Zealand Collectors forums
Matt G, who is pretty much the backbone of Star Wars collecting here in New Zealand, has set up some Message Boards over at SWNZ for Star Wars Collectors to talk about their love of collecting and help each other out with collecting Star Wars goodies in NZ. Head over to the SWNZ message boards and talk Star Wars until the Banthas come home.

The last natter...
If you have visited the store or emailed us recently may have met or dealt with Shannon, the newest member of the Reel Collectibles team. Shannon has been fantastic in helping us out in the store, keeping us sane and will even be making an appearance at the Christchurch Armageddon this weekend. We hope you'll join us in welcoming him to the team.
Times are tough all round, the last year or more has been one of the most financially challenging periods for both businesses and individuals nationally and globally, ourselves included, and probably most of you. In order to help out our customers, we'd like to remind you that we offer a layby/payment service for items provided certain criteria are met. Please check out our policies and information page for details, which has a link to our layby policy, and do not hesitate to email us if you'd like to know more.
Well, that's it from us for this issue, we hope you've enjoyed this latest edition of our e-newsletter, if you know anyone else who may be interested in receiving it, please feel free to pass it on and get them to contact us.
