Release Date

By lleimmoen, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

In case I have missed something, has any closer sign of the release been released? I'm trying to make them richer (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) but they still neglect my strife, probably knowing just all too well they'll get richer anyway.

And howabout some more preview cards in a printable quality? That'd be nice for a start.

The place whose dates I usually go by has changed it now to June 30. It hasn't changed Emyn Muil yet, so I'll keep an eye on it. As for FFG, they still have it "on the boat."

Thanks. Hope the slow heavy boat is not going to sink.

are we talking about the hunt for Gollum? Becasue my local retailer says he is expecting his in this wednesday

Yes, we are talking just that. Hope the info is right and not very local.

Hello again. So I guess Wednesday did not work, eh? Any news though from the retailer?

out of interest- what country are you guys in? - I'm guessing whatever the UK release date is, it'll be at least a few weeks behind the rest of the world.

I'm in the UK Jim. It's usually about the same to be honest.

I am living in Sweden, and surprisingly my The Hunt for Gollum adventure pack has arrived today. Actually, even my retailer was surprised that he got some packs already now.

I'm from, and currently again living in, the Czech Republic. The retailers here are usually pretty confused so I cannot tell much about its release date as of yet.

im in canada. he told me they were sold out on the event day... boooo

Fair enough- just basing it on my experience with Game of Thrones where we're generally a long way behind.

So that means it's not coming out until July? I was still holding out hope we'd see it in June.

If it hit the boat on June 2nd, the date the Upcoming page was updated, then most likely it'll hit stores in the week after July 4th. Of course, all sorts of things can delay shipments, so who knows really? That's just my best guess, based on watching the Upcoming page for various products over the last year or two.

The info on TTGN comes from FFG. So it is not gonna be seen till first half of July, course that could be in the first week of the month so early July. Maybe.

I woudn't be surprised if someone at FFG is gonna be fired (or was sacked already). They did not predict that LOTR base game will be sold out so soon and then they probably had to shift their strategy. In the meantime, they lost fraction of potential gain and customers, since the best time to sell the game is when it is ultra hot. And then, they lost some of possible customers of APs when they got bored with base game and AP are still not available.

I am sure they will all come crawling back soon as the pack hits the shelves.

3 months for the first chapter pack seems like a long time though... they better release the second pack only a few weeks after the first! happy.gif

Sadly, that's probably not going to happen. The other adventure packs are still "At the Printer." They need to start getting them "On the Boat" soon if they don't want a delay in the release of second adventure pack.

I also get angry!!! Waiting waiting this first adv pack. But most bad thing is: Hunt for gollum will come than after 1week is done and again wait for month or two until next one??? Very strange policy a? I dont understand FFG.

so i fount out my local store Lied to me... they never had it in to begin with.. i have no idea what incentive they had to lie... I guess ill be waiting for the mystery date like everyone else
