For future reference its worth getting these in earlier if possible (although I appreciate this probably isn't of the club shop themselves doing), anyone genuinely wanting one will have got one already by now ... hence the surplus of last years still floating about.
Maybe have a word with who sends them as their marketing department are obviously idiots. It wouldnt hurt them at all to send the day before release for next day delivery in which case the clubs could sell loads. I can see its out of our hands as it stands. But they are next to useless as FM addicts will buy it on release day.
Maybe knock them out dirt cheap for a tenner to make some money rather than get left with a box full in 6 months.

Can anyone give me a rational reason for the must have on the day of release mentality which pervades the technology and entertainment industries?
I can understand why the companies have generated it but why do people play along with it particularly in the current financial climate?
Games like "Call of Duty" and "FIFA" need to be day one purchases because otherwise you fall behind skill wise and subsequently become a "n00b" when you finally get the game and play online.
Look at it rationally Trundle, there will always be those who spend hours and hours playing the games and it is therefore highly likely that they will have higher skill levels than the average player and hence unless you have 24/7 to play the games you will very soon become a "n00b" even if you bought it on the first day.
The companies could develop the game so that it was possible to move up skill levels by creating arenas where those with similar skill levels could develop and move up to a higher level but from what you have said they don't thus generating the must have on the day of release phenomenum in the vain hope that you will become 'numero uno'.
