Does FFG reserve a few week period of exclusivity to sell cards direct off of their own site before releasing orders to external merchants? I pre-ordered the Grand Melee several weeks ago and Amazon is still showing a Nov 30th release date.

Be happy you live in America

In Poland:

Core set - episodic availability (which suggests it's imported from western Europe)

Tourney for The hand - impossible to buy (was available for a few short moments in one shop)

King's Landing reprint - what KL reprint - not posibble to buy in any shop

Stuff like LOW or KOS tends to be orderable with 30 day delivery

I got six copies of Gran Melee in Stahleck for my meta.

I think local gaming stores get shipped games like these way before Amazon on purpose. Perhaps because they are more of the lifeblood of organized card game events and normally have some kind of a community that makes the company more money. Otherwise I really am not sure why there is a delay to sites like Amazon.

UK seems to get everything at least two weeks later than it's announced on this site and in the case of the Kings of the Sea reprint we are still waiting. It must totally suck if you have it even worse than us.

Our local shop has had them in for awhile....
