so....for the ten people at gencon that were able to buy these they are currently legal in tournaments and the rest of the world waits and dabs the salty tears from our cheeks?

heres a drink to the multitudes of sad face pandas like myself who are still in pain over the imperial vets torturously long release.

sip...sip...SLAM.

Gencon early sales are not considered a release. They will not be legal until it is available for everyone else.

I believe that was also the year of the dock strikes, causing back ups.

It wasn't a strike, it was a lockout. Workers wanted to work, management wouldn't let them.
