(There isn't really an appropriate forum to put this thread in as far as I can see; feel free to move it.)

So, here's the thing.  Growing rapidly familiar with my Enhanced Edition set's Heroes and Environments and even the Villains a little, I'd really like to give myself more options pretty soon.  Since a friend of mine has Infernal Relics and Rook City, I'm not especially committed to getting those, even if they weren't sold out (not that I *won't*, it's just a lower priority).  But I definitely want to be sure that I acquire Shattered Timelines and the mini-expansions.

However, while I have no reluctance to give GTG my money in fairly substantial quantities, I don't really want to pay the $10.70 minimum shipping cost more than once; if at all possible, I want to be able to place one order for all the Sentinels product I plan on getting anytime soon, get it all in one box and not have to pay a huge freight surcharge on what is already $100+ worth of game (and I do mean worth, but still, the raw dollar amount is a concern given that I'm between jobs and have a few bills I'd prefer to keep paid).  With the Vengeance expansion coming out at some point in the nearish future, I'm debating whether I'd like to wait for that before ordering.  But at the same time, a) I'm chomping at the bit to get my hands on Unity and Miss Information and the Time Cataclysm so that I can start enjoying four times the variety in my Sentinels gaming, and b) I don't want to risk that ST or the mini-expansions will sell out and leave me unable to get them.

So, my question is this: can I afford to wait for Vengeance to come out, or should I grab my intended product NOW and risk that when Vengence comes out, I may decide to go without it for a long while, rather than pay the $10.70 in shipping a second time?

Will the product definitely need to be shipped? You don't have a local store where you could buy it? If you have a local store that just doesn't have it in stock, maybe they'd be willing to get it from their distributor.

 

Alternatively, perhaps you could find someone going to a convention where it will be sold and bring it back to you.

Are the mini expansions available in stores? I bought mine on ebay. The shipping was combined and was cheaper than the GtG store.

I got mine in a store. It worked out cheaper than ordering, since overseas shipping is expensive.
