Dave & Adams still has the release date for Titanium down for tomorrow. That said, another site has it marked down as June 13th.
Do you know something we don't?
Habs fan and collector! Current PC's: Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Lane Hutson...., and of course...

Weird that they would push it back after they just finished showing the QC case break on the Panini blog

Titanium was delayed to June 13th. However, this move was made to help the collectors more than anything. It was a joint agreement between the distributors, league and Panini. We understand that you guys have been bombarded with 5 products within the last month or so (Captain C, Elite, SPx, Contenders, BTP). Rather than push the next one out the door quickly, we wanted to give collectors a chance to focus on the current releases before we slapped another one on the shelves. This also gave us a chance to reduce the number of redemptions for collectors even more.

Chris, does this mean that Anthology is also going to be bumped from its 6/13 date?

Yes, that also pushed back Anthology. It will be releasing two weeks after Titanium.

Well... understand the reasoning but I don't agree. Elite and Spx isn't recieved very well, BTP mainly for goalie fans, so that leaves Captain C (which was in March), and Contenders that is fresh and hot. On top of that I think Titanium would have been perfect now. Maybe you want to push more sales out of Elite and Contenders ; )
I don't want hot products in the middle of the summer, soon the playoffs are over and hockey kind of disappear from one's mind. Not a good move if you take into account you have Anthology left, and UD got SPA, Ultimate, then there are the big guns left. I bet it will all end we get the Cup and Dominion in October, like two year's ago. I hate that, I literary do. I don't want to buy a 11/12 product when the 12/13 season is about to start. Actually I've always wanted the Cup (and now Dominion) around the end of the playoffs, it would end the season with a big bang, and then everyone could take a break in July, why have all the best stuff left in the summer, don't get it.

I'm right there with you. I don't understand it and I don't think it has to be a "necessary evil."

Agreed.
Vegas, dont get me wrong man, I'm exicted for Titanium, but I would have liked it to release sooner than later. All other products that were out lately have been either busts or are for specialty fans.

Exactly, even if there's been many releases none has been truly exciting, Contenders has been ok alternative to spa (far more than ok imo), but it hasn't been a really super product. Most exciting was Captain c and that was in March, and it wasn't for everybody.
Just admit it's about the redemptions, you knew the release schedule long time ago so don't blame it on that now. Sorry to be harsh, I always defend Panini's products here as everybody know, I defend you so much I should be hired by you lol. But this time criticism is deserved. If redemptions keep being a problem decrease number of autographs for god's sake, most of autographs are not necessary, or desired, anyway. There's too much of it, in all companie's products. All this redemption crap creates delays, and the delays this year been worse than ever, almost to the point I feel personally "screw this I won't buy anything". You save up for a box and time and time again you get insulted by pushed releases. UD is far far worse, but please don't follow their example.
