To play the role of moderator here, c'mon guys, let's not fight. Keep the personal comments that contribute nothing out of it - we're all collectors here.

It was a joke (spelling), calm down. I'm not here to attack you, it's the companies I complain about. I'm just big on customer's rights and customerservice (probably cause it was one of ma univ. majors). It just amaze me everything collectors put up with without a fight.

As for Sweden, or any country in Europe, it already is a pain we have to wait 1-2 weeks to get it across the atlantic. Another week in release delay on purpose is horrible, and frankly I think its' the final blow for many European collectors to not order boxes. That may not matter to you, but it matter to us. Really should matter to everybody as international cardtrades being done are plentiful on Scf.

Doing a happy dance : ) The one and only hobbystore in the country is probably getting it tomorrow so they can send it to me for the 15th! $50 or something more expensive but at least I don't have to wait.

Now I scratch my head though cause I haven't seen any breaks yet, so it wasn't released a week ahead for Lcs USA/Canada?

[RGM81]

No. Product was announced by Panini as being out on the 15th.

[razzamaztaz]

Oh ok, someone told me in private it was released the 8th for hobbystores

It does make sense to allow the LCS to have it earlier. Yes I know its rough for people who do not have access to one, but LCS' pay employees, pay a lease on a building, etc etc etc. compared to online where they pay a small fee to host a website. Also in this day and age buying boxes for monetary gain is like playing a slot machine, your never really gonig to get ahead, u might get a good run then one bad case with a resale value of 200-300$ puts you 500-600$ back in the hole.

I understand where you guys are coming from not having access to an LCS, but put yourself in their shoes, they have ALOT more overhead than a website does and they still have to sell at the same prices or they wont sell any

[razzamaztaz]

Mmm, I do understand, it's a double edged sword. Extra hard for international traders though. Anyhow, it's not released today?? Seen no breaks yet!

[andrewconnors9]

I'm really not sure, havent seen anything yet either, ill stop by the LCS on the way home and get an update

I'd rather wait and have no redemptions. Gives my wallet time to recharge as well. Plus, delays now are fine as I actually have hockey to watch and hold me over. Releases in the summer are cool since it helps pass the time when there's no hockey to watch.

Agreed, gives the wallet a break to refill to buy more when it is released.
