'This is Not a Drill'? YEAH RIGHT!

Anyone else think it's crap that FFG posted that news article this morning saying "Pegasus now on sale, check our webstore!" and then when you DID check the webstore it still said "not yet released" all afternoon and THEN I keep checking back all day and the article gets changed with the "check our webstore" part getting deleted off it and the store now says "out of stock". I mean WTF?! Did they have ANY for sale?? Or only like 2 copies? LAME.

I guess my only options are crooked people on eBay? Or hoping one of the stores around here randomly gets it?

I managed to get myself a copy last week from my local games store although when I was back in there a couple of days later it was gone. Not all of us who sell on e-bay are dodgy you know.

Lol, sorry, that was more just me venting after contacting a few of the people on eBay with Pegasus listed and getting told by them that "no, we don't really have it in stock". They are just selling like a "pre-order" of Pegasus, even when their auction DOES NOT SAY THAT IT IS NOT IN STOCK AND THAT IT'S ONLY A PRE-ORDER. Also, when did it become acceptable to sell things on eBay that you don't even HAVE in stock?! I guess if you do post it is a pre-order that is maybe fine, but some of these people are selling it like a normal auction, tricking people into buying it, and then making them wait for who knows how long till they can get it. That is BS.

Long story short: I WANT TO BUY THIS GAME, FFG! LET ME GIVE YOU MY MONEY! WHY IS THIS BECOMING SUCH A PAIN TO GET A BOARD GAME EXPANSION?!

mine shipped yesterday from cool stuff inc.

I pre-oredered it from Troll and Toad and they havn't even put it in the mail yet. Their website says it's still pre-prder only. Grrr.

My gamestore phoned me two days ago, that they got the expansion and today I'm going to get it ... hopefully.

I'll have to wait... from France, here, I usually buy on Amazon from UK or Germany. I so want this expansion :(

I'm grom Germany and got the game more than a week ago. Donnu what's the problem ^^

Mine's on pre-order with Amazon. It's still listed there as "not yet released". They still show the delivery estimate as 10/2. I've frequently received emails from them saying that the date got pushed out and they need my approval of the revised date. This only ever happens with gaming items, never for regular books or DVDs. I suspect Amazon, like any other retailer orders a certain number of copies, but continues to take pre-orders resulting in some folks having to wait until another batch can be had. I'm usually willing to wait for the discount, but I'm champing at the bit for this expansion. I hope they get enough copies to fill my pre-order and I don't get bumped to a later date.

Hello, Supply. I'd like you to meet Demand.

//Demand proceeds to whallop the ever-loving snot out of Supply.

I GOT A COPY OF PEGASUS TODAY!!11

I stopped at a local game store and they randomly had it by chance. Awesome!

Yeah, good luck to everyone else who is looking for this. I definitely feel your pain & know how much you guys want this in your hands as I was the same way the last few weeks.

I assume local game stores is the best way right now ... got my version of the expansion in one too

Lol, I know you were just joking, but funny story: I picked up another copy of the core game when I picked up the Pegasus expansion to replace our really worn skill cards and such. However there IS a different versions of the core game. The copy I got had a different color cardboard insert (black instead of bright blue) and all the errata stuff seems to be fixed. For example the Admiral card is fixed, and the Executive Order cards include the "limit 1 played per turn" text. Very cool. The rulebook mistakes were not fixed though for some reason.
