A joke....

By Emmelc, in General Discussion

This is getting more and more ridiculous by the day. The game released a week ago with countries around the world getting their copies of the core set. In Denmark we have yet to receive any information regarding release and preorders. One webshop had it last week, but have already sold out. Another store has a rumored release of the 15th, a third store has a rumored shipping date for the 31st. FFG's own webshop has even sold out of the core set without an "awaiting reprint" on the upcoming section of the website.

I may just be really, really impatient here, but it seems to me like something has gotten lost at some point. Is there anyone here, who can give me a more specific release date for the Scandinavian countries, Denmark in particular, or are the rest of you in just as much og a limbo as I am?

Sincerely,

A very concerned customer

Sweden had them last week, as did Finland. I really don't have any further information to go on for Denmark...

You're not alone. In the US some areas haven't received anything yet either. Not even an expected arrival date.

really?

you sure they just didn't sell out?

Crab hammer you will be happy to know that Gaming etc. is jumping in. Conner (one of the employees) was very interested in the game last night.
the Owner also is on board!
Hope to see you there next Monday!

Yes I'm sure they didn't sell out. Shown up everyday and I know the store owner fairly well. I have 3 pre orders I'm still waiting on.

Just got news in fact that the distributors just received and shipped so I can expect Thursday or Friday.

wow...Battlegroud just got their second shipment today.

There is nothing in Canada (BC) either.

Shops I call don't even have an ETA. They are so clueless about this game some didn't even know there was a 2nd ed.

We never had much of a AGoT scene here, though.

Nothing at all? Quebec, Newfoundland, Ontario have all had cores (multiple shipments, at least here in Quebec)

From Hamlet : " Something is rotten in the state of Denmark..."

:D

My local game store also has them. (Belgium)

In Vienna yesterday the first small shipment arrived...all to pre orders...except 1 or 2 cores...the other shops don't know yet

I got mine from Adlibris (which covers Finland, Norway and Sweden; may ship to Denmark), where they got them in stock a week ago (cheaper than the alternatives and free shipping). The usual gaming stores don't even know when it'll arrive, and it's at least 25% more expensive. I have a new fave store for FFG/Paizo products now!

Buy from Book Depository. They have stock and postage is free to anywhere in the world.

Finally got my hands on it here, in Ukraine.

While waiting for my second core I noticed the price went up something like 40 cents. The nerve! :P

Still boxes left at Adlibris and the Book Depository, but the ULGS barely knows the game exists. I tried to find expansions for a game they've previously demoed specifically, and the critter behind the counter couldn't tell core from add-ons. I don't know how these gaming stores stay in business.

Gamer: "Hi, I'd like to buy the Game of thrones second edition core set please."

Store dweeb: "Corset?We don't sell lingery here."

Gamer. *facepalm*

That's why people shop at the FLGS, I guess. They have costumes :)
