Just thought I'd explain my decreased activity in the forums a bit to you all. Of course we're getting closer and closer (although a bit less close as we were the day before yesterday) to the release of Pirates! and this would naturally be the time for me to be hyper active in here.
Unfortunately life gets in the way a little. As I've mentioned before, I'm manager of a toy store in real life. From late August to the end of December, my workload increases dramatically. Especially from early October, things skyrocket with its high point (here in Holland at least) in the last 2 weeks of November and the first week of December. (next to Xmas, we also have Sinterklaas wich is twice as big as Xmas overhere - for toystores that is - and happens on the 5th of December)
So, if you guys have been missing me around a bit, I hope you understand why. I won't disappear, just need to divert my attention to other matters for a while. 
Of course you're all welcome to entertain each other! |

I wish you lots of turnover and lovely customers.
Give them a smile of us all and the right toys to make them happy.
Good Luck!

No worries there Falconer!
Makes total sense. Don't work too hard!
Question for you: do you have an online catalogue or mailing list type? would be interested in seeing what type of toys are over there. (live in Victoria BC Canada (west coast). PM me with anything if you do? Thanks! |

Yup, we do. Can't buy anything through it, but at least you can have a look at it.
http://www.intertoys.nl/
Click on the Flash Movie that says "Speelboek 2004 nu online". It'll give you a decent impression. It's an online version of the catalogue we sent to 95% of all households here in The Netherlands. |

Very cool.
Thanks for the links and all. We are planning to come over to Europe next summer so may have to buy a few toys for the son while in the area!

Don't be so sure about that PF. Those of us outside the US will still have to wait an extra week or so until we get the game and I'm sure will still be busy on the boards.
For those in the US (and I suppose Canada), I bet you'll all be back bragging about you exploits within a day or two anyway. You'll probably be mentioning all the little tricks to the game that you've found out.
