Just checed the upcomming page and it is marked shipping now. Should be in stores next week. Thank you FFG for keeping your first week of July promise!!!
EotE -- Shipping Now!
I hope that Cool Stuff Inc. gets the stuff early so they can ship it to me so I don't have to wait for a week after the 5th for it to get here!
Yeah I am going to be a little upset if I can't get mine by the 5th whats the point of pre-ordering if you don't get it by release date

Hopefully that wont be the case, but if we keep posting updates of where we see stock and to my knowledge nobody that has pre-ordered has gotten any shipping notification yet.
I just pre ordered core book dice pack and GM kit from cool stuff last night. Hope to get it by 5th as well.

Depends on the shop. If they make sure that pre-orders are fulfilled in the order that they were placed, an early pre-order is a near guarentee that you'll get a copy of the book even if they recieve limited copies. If your shop treats pre-orders as simply a gauge of demand for their own ordering purposes and proceeds to put all copies on a shelf when recieved, then a pre-order is a useless gesture. All depends on how your shop views pre-orders.
Got an email from barnes and noble… order delayed because of changed release date. Grrr.

I've pre-ordered mine from amazon, and been given the estimated delivery date of 15.07.2013 (with the estimated arrival date being between 17-19.07.2013). I honestly can't wait - it's going to be awesome. ![]()

B&N had their release date listed as June 25. I'm guessing they're updating all their pre-order customers that it's not shipping currently.
I called CoolStuffInc about another order, and since I also had my preorder for EotE with them I took the opportunity to ask for an update.
I was told that the distributor begins shipping on Tuesday, and that they expected they would get it and start shipping on Friday due to the 4th of July holiday (i.e., no mail day). I live on in AZ, and it usually takes 4-5 business days to get to me, which means I should have it in time for the following weekend if all goes as planned. If you live closer, you'll likely get it a day or two sooner.
El_Tonio, that makes sense. I was just over at the FFG Event Center, and they have a release event going on Tuesday the 2nd.

AWESOME! Thanks, I got mine from them too so I'm glad to hear it!
So excited!
I am in the same boat
Hate to think when us 'over the pond ' in England will see ours.
At least it makes a grown man feel like a kid waiting for xmas again.
Based on previous releases, either in some indeterminate number of months, or its already been out for 8 weeks. As I haven't seen it on the shelves of my local game shop, I am expecting the former.
Hi guys,
I'm from Brazil and I've tryed to buy the core book, dice and game master kit at amazon, but they don't ship the dice to Brazil (they consider it as a toy) and the shipping costs were astronomical.
Can you recommend any other online store where I can buy it with cheap international shipping costs?
Ran into the same issue although I wasn't looking for the dice. Shipping came to around 56$ just for the two items, completely out of whack with what Amazon claims it charges for shipping.
In the end I went and searched for the items on eBay. Happened to find a seller who was selling the pre-orders new.
Hello Paulo,
I'm from Brazil also.
I usually buy from http://www.coolstuffinc.com/ , http://www.miniaturemarket.com/ (the shipping will not be cheap, and there is also the chance that you will be taxed because of the dice) or http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/ (free shipping, but they charge almost the same price as the cover price, and there is also the chance that you will be taxed because of the dice, but the taxes will have a lower cost because there is no shipping cost to be added to the proce of the dice before calculating the taxes).
Hope that it helps.
Amazon now saying in stock July 2 and shipping from CoolStuffIncgames. Not Amazon Prime eligible but the earliest date I've seen.
Thanks Nasheen! I'll take a look at the your links. I got 1 set of dice from the beginnet box (bought at amazon.uk, average shipping costs and no taxes), so maybe I'll buy only the core and master kits by now (but I think 1 set isn't enough).

Good find. WIth the FFG release event taking place on the 2nd and that most sales weeks are tracked Tuesday-Monday I'm guessing that July 2 is the street date and if we're lucky pre-orders will start to ship that day. I had thought that the July 5 date was just marketing being conservative and making sure that, with the holiday, retail had a chance to get the product out.
Hey I would recommend before you chunk down tons of money for the dice set due to the shipping cost in Brazil, maybe try thedice roller app that Fantasy Flight offers. Really cool graphics on there and you will have all the dice you could ever need for the game. Of course you may be like many of us on here and much prefer the rolling of real dice on your table as opposed to virtual ones but I was just trying to offer you a cheaper solution. Game on!!
If beginner kits are cheaper for price+shipping, you could always buy more of those from a site you trust. That will get you more sets of dice. ![]()

Esdevium Games, the UK (and europe?) distributor, listed it as one of next weeks releases (which probably means its in their warehouse). So it should be with your FLGS by Wednesday / Thursday.
