Has anyone seen this out in the wild or know other places to order online from? Shipping from FFG's own store is about half the price of the actual mat.

If you want one you should be able to ask your FLGS to get one through their distributor, as has been the case with other FFG in-house playmats. It's a bit early to expect that it has broad retail availability yet.

I don't have a FLGS. I live in a tiny little town. The closest gaming store is an hour away.

It looks like FFG's other playmats are on Amazon, so just keep an eye out.

I know I'm 'Rezing' an older thread here...but I got mine on thewarstore.com. It's only a couple of bucks cheaper than retail there, and you have to pay shipping, but if you cant find it elsewhere, it's always an option. Great purchase though, I'm really enjoying using mine.
