odd thing with UK releases for 13/4/15

By timbolton, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

Can someone just check and see that I am not going crazy please!

Esdevium games brings in the rpg/lcg goodness to the UK and each week they list what is expected. On the list for 13/4/15 they say they are getting -

The Lord Of The Rings LCG: Assault On Osgiliath Nightmare Deck

The Lord Of The Rings LCG: Blood of Gondor Nightmare Deck

The Lord Of The Rings LCG: Morgul Vale Nightmare Deck

You can find the lists here, just scroll to the bottom of the page (pdf format) - http://www.esdeviumgames.com/

Now two things about this -

1) In the UK we haven't seen the first half of the Nightmare packs for the “Against the Shadow” cycle (ie, Encounter at Amon Din, The Druadan Forest and The Steward's Fear Nightmare Decks)

2) Even on FFG's product area it says the ones in the list are still “In development” and “not yet available” - see https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-card-game/products/morgul-vale-nightmare-deck/ as an example.

So how did Esdevium Games get it so wrong? Add to that the people I buy these from, Gameslore, also have the new releases incorrectly listed.

I am reading this right aren't I? That it should be the first three nightmare sets for the "Against the Shadow" cycle and not the second? I have emailed Gameslore but no reply as yet.

I think you are wrong. If they list those three packs as new releases, then those will be their releases for that week. I am sure the first half of the AtS cycle will come eventually but this is not the first time that things come to the UK in a different order...

But... FFG hasn't even RELEASED them, as I pointed out above! How can a shop have them when they aren't available anywhere, even the USA?

Edit: Ok, I have just been looking through the new articles and seen that supposedly all six of the "Against the Shadow" packs were made available POD. But on the products page it claims the last three aren't available. They need to update the FFG page. So, like you say above - it is possible for us to get the second set of three packs first, I don't believe that has happened before, I have got each and every release as it came out.

Relax dude, you'll get them eventually.

The main reason for asking was to make sure what the store I buy from has on its website is correct, now I can order knowing there isn't a mistake ;)

Was less about the order and worrying :)
