Baffled as to why this game has not yet appeared to be released in Australia. I cannot find any Australian retail store with copies of TI4 and some information indicates it is not expected till 27 Dec, even at the moment its release in Australia is weeks behind other nations, if it doesn't hit stores till 27/12 that will be over a month behind advertised release and also after Christmas.
Is this the case? Is there any logic or reason at all for this very delayed release, its really frustrating and is souring the game for me before I've even received a copy. Multiple websites and streaming videos are reviewing and discussing this new edition and I've yet to see anything but a photograph or screen shot.
Hoping that we've not been intentionally delayed by FFG but cannot see why we have not had release alongside other regions worldwide.
