Release Date?

By JordD04, in Forbidden Stars

It is shipping!

Release this week? :P

Multiple retail sites are showing showing a release date between June 16th-18th :lol:

How totally exciting!

****... need to find money!

Just got word from my retailer my copy is on the way to the house.

This is irksome as I preordered from Amazon (mostly because I had credit), but they are saying June 26th, with 30th delivery. What was the point of pre-ordering when it is available now everywhere else?

The point is to make sure you get your own copy of the game.

Try getting your hands on a copy of Dead of Winter : Crossroad. It's out of stock a few hours, if not minutes, following restock.

Preordering a game is necessary when there is a lot of hype around it and that available quantity is or may be limited.

I might be wrong but I feel the hype around Forbidden Stars is mainly focused on FFG forum users and a few fierce fans of Warhammer 40,000k. Nothing to empty the shelves minutes after restock :D

Not sure, sorry. They usually made available via Amazon 10 copies, so I imagine they have something more than that in stock

I understand. I'm just venting a bit. :)

Amazon really aren't suitable for board game pre-orders unfortunately; They were very late on Star Wars Armada pre-orders as well. I can appreciate your pain.
