SG #72's merchandise report:
First it was the Ben Cross Barnabas model kit would only be available until "early 1995" - then it was "through the fall" - now a specific date of "until June 30." Will it still be available when SG #73 comes out in August of 1995? Probably not because it seems like once AKI announces a specific date, they stick to it. But who knows?
On the other hand, Abbelaire was still continuing their watches deal, which would supposedly only last through the '94 holidays. And still no sign of having to buy both watches in order to get the discount.
Trading cards based in the '91 DS were never released. Imagine only released a set for the original DS. And it's very interesting that back in February SG #71 reported that the supply of that set of cards was "depleted" but suddenly they were available through the Fest. And for $17.95, which is $2 cheaper than their original price. Though at least fans who'd paid the $19.95 for the cards probably weren't too upset they they'd paid $2 more. (Somehow I suspect the same might not be able to be said of the fans who paid $77.95 before the watches were reduced to $35.)
And SG still continued to hawk David Campiti's Glass House Graphics. But then his name is also listed in the Contributors section of SG #72, so...
