Is Howl of Blackmane releasing in December instead of November?

Where is Howl of Blackmane?

Expansion packs to the LCGs are usually released at the start of the month.

Anyone know if Howl of Blackmane is intentionally late, perhaps because its supposed to be released in December? Or is it just deviating from the usual LCG release schedule due to some other circumstance, and will arrive sometime mid/late November?

No big deal just wondering if anyone's got the inside scoop..

LCG packs release all times of the month. Pretty much every Star Wars pack has been end of a month. It was already sold to those that made it to Worlds on Saturday so I would expect it in stores in the next couple weeks.

Sometimes they land at the end of the month, but that usually means they've arrived early. Normally packs are released to intentionally hit stores at the end/start of the month boundaries, and vary a little based on the time of the week.

So I'm guessing you think Howl is lining up for a late Nov./early Dec. release, instead of the late Oct./early Nov. release that (I think) was advertised.

No big deal, just wondering if I should expect it at stores anytime soon, it likely won't last long..

Heh, actually it was sold out by 1 PM on Thursday. (I grabbed the last copy on the shelf after my first Star Wars match) :P

I wouldn't expect it until you see it switch from the boat to shipping. After that it's usually 3-4 days. There is no pattern to this in the US as far as beginning /end of the month.
