When will it be updated again?
 
Re: OutletI've been watching it daily hoping for it...I'm guessing at this point, not until February.
 
Re: OutletI was thinking the same thing when I saw that nothing new had been added! grrrrr!
 
Re: OutletAnd too bad it's not updated, since this month is double-points... :(
 
Re: OutletExactly! I had great sales last January b/c of some great updates. They are updating MUCH less often. Too bad, b/c I had people that would buy with every update and now it's just less exciting.
 
Re: OutletIts updated - not much change but its updated!
 
Re: OutletI wish they's hurry up and add some new things. Some of that stuff has been there for months!

Re: OutletMaybe I can get that this time. I got a set of the Twix-Its before from the Outlet and just love them. The Patriotic Set is a real deal...if you like Red/White/Blue!

Very true...they may surprise us after Leadership...
 
Re: Outletat least it's something. I hope they keep it coming.
 
Re: OutletIt has been too long this time. I have a lot of customers even asking me when it'll be updated!!!
 
Re: OutletI wish they'd change out everymonth! Even if that meant bringing back what didn't sell before, just to rotate it and it's something new n fresh every month, ya know!
 
Re: OutletIt seems like they NEVER change ours. The outlet was one of the reasons I got my WS but it's been a huge disappointment.
 
Re: OutletI sure hope they change it soon too. It would be nice for double points!
 
Re: OutletOk, so anyone willing to buy me some stuff from the US outlet and perhaps we can make arrangments for delivery? Or perhaps i can take a road trip to sweetgrass?

Anyone near there?

Re: OutletCheese knife and some handy scrapers.
Thought i would buy a few and have them on hand.
 
Re: OutletFinally it is slightly updated....I think. It says Outlet 2009.
 
Re: OutletWhat's this about double points and the outlet? If customers order from there, how does that work? Or are you buying from the outlet and offering them as free gifts and prizes at shows. Do your purchases count?
