I can indeed, but regretfully it is a cul-de-sac. We don't send out just stickers. Thanks for the prompt on this as it has Catalysed me start a new thread...
Would you send out a Maestro bat including the stickers?

No, we tend to launch to the trade simultaneously through the Trade Stockrooms.

Is this the same for overseas 5 Star Dealers ?

Yes it is. A variety of our overseas distributors attend the launch. Timing has changed a lot over the years as news of new products spreads immediately on the Internet

I noticed the strange stickers last night as well. I didn't think they were GM initially but there as a close up and you could see the silver GM on the front. Only picture I can find is of the back of the bat which had a black sticker on, not sure whether this was GM or another sponsor/advertisement.

Would you send out a Maestro bat including the stickers?

If we were refurbishing a Maestro, and still happen to have Maestro stickers, then we would use them. However, Maestro is not in the range currently, so we would tend to sticker it using the most appropriate ones that we have.

We don't have any Maestro left, as it happens

Kind regards

I know that Hunts will make a bat to an old shape. Will GM do this?

Yes indeed. As soon as you are selected to represent your country.

Gunn and Moore don't give stickers out to bats that aren't there own, Edward has made this clear many a time

Maynard has been using a blank bat for the majority of the season. But perhaps, it being a televised game, he cut out an old GM sticker and stuck it on there.

About as much chance of me getting Olympic tickets!

Ed, why do GM refuse such requests as seen in this topic?

i.e.

-picking out a bat yourself for someone
-supplying old stickers if somebody favours them
-supplying custom shapes (i know this is more challenging than the other two points)

it all seems a bit wooden and rigid to me, its what turned me away from the company, i think i speak for a lot of people when i say that i prefer the companies who supply a better customer experience, possibly even going out of their way to help, certainly not flatly refusing any requests as seems to be the case with GM.
