Asked the FLGS if they would be getting the mats in now along with the core stuff. Got this pic as an answer. Waiting to hear back the rest showed (and I'm assuming it did). Will post to confirm. Yes, we all knew it was coming this week, but here's visual proof it's getting into the stores...

uh, is it super folded up?

The picture is the very end of a long, narrow box.

OHHHHH that makes complete sense.

Yeah, I wasn't sure at first either. It's boxed like the Xwing mats.

I picked my mat up last week, I think these were distributed before the core sets

Can confirm, my FLGS got their mats in earlier this week.

Mats were available when they were announced. Come rolled in a super long box. Same as X-Wing mats.

Yeah, they got the dice and cores in as well for sale tomorrow.

My FLGS drooled into the mouthpiece of their phone when I asked, then mumbled something about Runewars not being out yet, using a voice that suggested they don't understand why they poop every day, why the sky is blue, or where babies come from.

Best FLGS everrrrrr!

EDIT: And the sad truth is, they probably did have the mats.

Counter monkeys are the best.
