Sold out

By StormyWaters, in Arkham Horror: The Card Game

I've got 2 copies of the core but I can't for the life of me find Dunwich or Miskatonic anywhere(apart from resellers on Amazon asking for crazy prices). We don't have any idea about when they're reprinting these right?

LCG's are continually reprinted. There's only ever temporary shortages. Most likely, they underestimated the demand for this game initially, when not only the Core but also Dunwich and the Mythos Packs had been sent to the printer, so the shortages will continue throughout this cycle, but gradually improve. Reprints shouldn't be more than a couple months behind.

If you want to avoid this, though, I highly recommend signing up for a subscription service through Team Covenant. Miniature Market and Cool Stuff, Inc., might also have them, and many game stores can take pre-orders for you, as well.

My LGS had Dunwich I got super lycky and another more closer one got Miskatonic next day after I called em to hold it so try a hobby game store..?

I called the 2 nearest me(about 45 min away each) and they were both sold out. I also tried a hobby store while I was traveling for work and only saw the core set. 1st world problems I guess.

Can't you ask a store to hold a copy for you how I got Miskatonic was lucky with Legacy.

The Dunwich Legacy is already in the reprint queue.

Thank goodness!

This game has been very popular in my area (and most others it seems). My LGS ordered 30 of the core set and sold all of them within a week. Dunwich Legacy sold out at the store before they even came in, and Miskatonic University was severely allocated for some reason, my store ordered 20 copies and only got 4, same with another local store. Thankfully the core set should be back in stock as of yesterday or today, but Dunwich Legacy just went back into the reprint queue and Miskatonic is already out of stock, so who knows how long it will be before they are back in stores.

Team Covenant appears to have Miskatonic back in stock.

did the core set already sell out online from it's reprint? I saw everything else is in stock that is tagged with in store on the upcoming page except this game, This is really frustrating!!

Just FYI if you want a full playset of cards you will need THREE core set and TWO Deluxe Expansions as for some reason they went back to 2x cards in expansions instead of 3x

I plan to keep a full set of cards in my folder as well as anything in play so it works for me, just seemed like a crappy discovery

Why on earth would you need 3 copies?! You can only use 2 copies of the same card in any given deck, so the only reason to buy more than 2 core sets or one of any expansion is to cater for more than one player.

Um the rules specifically say you can have max of 2 copies per deck.

Visited another local game store yesterday, still sold out everywhere. Man what a drag

Umm, because I totally misread the rules and thought it was x3 for decks not x2?

derp! ignore me! Gah!

I thought that might be the case! Easily done, especially if you're used to their other LCGs which are all 3 copies, I think?

There are loads in the UK if that's any help.

Almost. Star Wars also has a 2-copy limit.

Those must be the guys selling Dunwich for $80 on Amazon.

I've always been a fan of the way FFG does things with their product, but it feels as if they really, really, REALLY played it safe with this one. My area (middle Georgia) was severely allocated from the word go, with stores receiving only two of the core sets and Dunwich Legacy.

Given the popularity of living card games mixed with Lovecraftian horror AND a nifty campaign they had to know this would be a hit.

But that's just me venting. Glad these things are now "on the boat." Seems like the reprints were rushed, and for good reason.
