So I know about the delay because of a strike which slowed down getting the promo cards but since then I have heard nothing and ive found little on the forums as to what is going on.  Could someone please enlightenme as to when I should expect my pre-order of Wrath to arrive or is everyone else in the dark just like me?

It was a reference to when Infernal Relics was delayed thanks to a typhoon, then the next expansion contained a card named Typhoon.

Anything with HP is a target. Miss Information and Kaargra (at least their original sides) are Characters that aren’t targets. So it is more accurate to say attacks will work on all targets, given there is no immunity or prevention of attacks.

*Update*

It looks like the >G crew have been busy shipping out Kickstarter orders for Brew Crafters by DHMG since Monday (tracking info told me so).

Craig, since it looks like other games held up by the port strikes have made their way to your warehouse, can we assume the WotC promo boxes are not far behind? And are you guys acting as the distribution center for other companies as well? It's quite an interesting way to branch out

This is one of the brilliant things GTG has done that makes me very happy for their future. They are playing it smart, finding other revenue streams that are not dependant upon their own games, which will help improve their chances of longevity.

And our chances for awesome games in the future. :sunglasses:

Many weeks ago I pre-ordered WotC and the mini expansions (guise, wagemaster, omni 4) from my local game store. Later on I inquired about a rough availability date and they said approximately 12/30. On another visit they implied that they already had the WotC but could not make them available. Now on the 29th I get a call saying WotC will be available on 12/30 as predicted (yay!). I arrive at my local gaming store and they have the WotC box, but absolutely none of the mini expansions.

If the embargo on all WotC materials was due to a union strike that delayed the mini expansion and the main box was released without those mini expansions, why was there an embargo in the first place?

I'm pretty sure it was because they were trying their best to be able to start shipping to pre-order customers before having it release in the normal retail channels.

KI

I may be incorrect (if so, go ahead and correct me), but I believe there were two shipments. One was shipped to headquarters early so Christopher could demo the new decks at conventions and other sorts of appearances, and so the stores could sell them around the same time as we, the ones who pre-ordered our copies, could receive ours. The mini-expansions are extra goodies apart from the main set, so I can see why they only chose to ship as many WotC boxes as they could to make it cost efficient. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way, and they're sitting on a stash of copies and want to eventually sell them since they have waiting customers.

I'm okay with them finally going ahead and selling them. They've probably had them for weeks, and we'll probably wait longer. However, we also get shiny new promos, mini-expansions and art prints, and they don't. I'd say it's fair.

While I also don't care at all if WCos gets sold before I get my copy, I don't think >G should release it to retail until the preorders go out.

It's just not worth the inevitable bitching and negativity that will happen if it does.

Picking up a pre-order from a game store isn't the same as it being released for retail. If the store is only releasing it to those that pre-ordered then it's still not being sold yet, just some people will have their pre-orders before others. They can always call again later when the extras come in. I've made an order through my FLGS once and picked up the order in multiple visits because some things weren't gonna be in stock till later.

It makes more sense to sort by zip code because it would be faster to distribute by city and surrounding cities, rather than going down the list. So if Anton lives in Sacramento and Andy lives in New York, you're making multiple trips. I've done bulk mailing at my job, and that's how the mail was sorted.

It was alphabetical before...I remember Shattered Timelines (I think...it was the first Sentinels Kickstarter I was around for, anyway) was shipped alphabetically but they stopped at J to do the international shipping and it went a bit wrong and some people ended up having to wait ages or something, I can't remember, and they subsequently did future shipping in a different order (I think they did all the US ones before moving to the international ones or something). Someone had a forum signature for a while which was a quote of someone who'd joked about something else and related it to that (doing it in alphabetical orer but stopping at J to do the international ones).

Anyway, I don't mind waiting however long it takes - since I'm international I have to wait longer anyway :).

We'll know based on when mine shows up, maybe. Order is under initials KD, a couple hours south of grysqrl.

Question: Did those who have received it already receive a notice it had shipped?

Edit to add: My wife was one of those "after the technical end of the pre-order" folks, which might also make a difference. (i.e., it could be in order of order being placed.)

Because it is fedex, you can sign up on FedEx's website for them to automatically alert you when you are getting a package shipped to your address. So, even without GtG giving me a tracking number, I have one. Mine should arrive today or tuesday, depending on if the Indianaopolis station processes packages on Sunday. I don't believe it does, because the station I work at in cbus does not either. Which means it would get processed today (monday) onto a truck to Cbus, and then processed tomorrow morning for delivery.

We are giving parcels to FedEx as we pack them, starting with US orders this time. Unfortunately, this time around, the EU got the short straw, meaning yours will be shipped last. However, that is partially for experimental logistical reasons that will hopefully mean faster and cheaper EU shipping in the future. Only time will tell!

In any case, we expect everything to be shipped by the middle of next week at the latest.

I Didn't learn about the game untill December, So I was not able to get in on any of the pre-order, But I ordered A copy through Amazon on Jan 2, and Fedex Tracking says I will receve it on Jan. 7.  So I feel bad for those that Pre-ordered and have to wait. But I will be one of the First Day pre-orders on the next one. So next time I will be right there with you, My Last Name starts with S, but I live 4 hours from St. Louis, in KC, So who knows where I would be on the list.

For those of you in Ohio, I would bet you should get it today. Most of our trucks arrived already. And the truck from st Louis (or maybe routed through Indianapolis) actually arrived last night. For me it had to ship from another local faucility. But I’d bet Vinci, Dayton, and even Cleveland all got it today, if it had been shipped friday

Everything released currently, unsleaved, fits nicely into the EE + Vengeance box. Heros + Enviro in EE box. All Villains in Vengeance box. This setup will not hold after another expansion though which is really bad for me. It's looking like I have to invest in the RC/IR set just to get another EE size box which really is not ideal.

I just signed up for a Fedex account from memory, it was quite some time ago (maybe for vengence). First make sure your using your local Fedex site. The US site may have a fit if you try giving it none US addresses. If that doesnt work, try calling their customer service. Its amazing what you can do if you talk to the people who have taken levels in Fedex Wizard.

 

EDIT: For the AU site, I made an account and made sure my contact information was the same as the delivery address I used for WCos. Although I vaguely remember discussing the alerts with fedex support I think that was for my previous address.
