If that "little" extra is a Hobbit or something similar, I want one too!

I'll trade you having the books now for my extra (if any)

Nothing from the mailman today in NYC. I'm dying over here in the wilderness all alone.

Mine is sitting in Florida right now according to the tracking. Hopefully it won't be much longer.

Damn you America! Damn you all!

*falls down sulking in despair*

... must... endure... one more week.....

(Where's Sam when you need one?)

Tracking???? Where did you get a tracking number? I didn't get a tracking number. Could I have a tracking number please?

Try emailing C7. You are more likely to get results than posting here, methinks.

I still don't have my copy here in Arizona either Maybe if I spend a Hope point it will help.

Well... you're not digging into Europe's Fellowship. I guess you're going to have to borrow some from China... you're good at that.

My copy arrived today!

It arrived via regular mail. I'm in San Diego.

Well, as apparently the books have not yet been shipped to the "rest of the world" s, I guess we can't expect them until next week at least. So mucho for getting it for my birthday .

Ah well, it will arrive when it arrives

Also: Angus, vibes man. Hopefullly things start getting a bit calmer over there.

The books are coming in from the printers in China.
The little extras -- if hobbits -- are presumably coming from New Zealand.
Peter Jackson IS using little extras in the filming of the Shire sequences of The Hobbit, I presume...?

Actually, if the 'little extra' is a hobbit, in think I'll pass.

They eat a lot and get a bit whiny if left alone!

But if you have a spare Liv Tyler I'll settle for her

This just made me realise that my book has gone:

China > USA > UK > New Zealand

Makes me wonder what carbon-oxide footprint shit like this leaves behind... scary thought...

Angus A any news? Will you report tomorrow?

I for one is hoping for some good news today... If they don't get shiped on Monday I fear I will not have it until End of August...

/wolf

Well, if they manage to get them on the way Monday, I would suspect we'll see them mid-week(ish) here in Scandinavia. My experience in ordering from the UK has been usually pretty good, arriving generally within three days of being posted in the UK.

A fellow Scandinavian eh?

Hi... *waves*

/wolf

So any news?

Last I heard, Angus will find out today!

My copy arrived late yesterday here in NYC! It would've arrived a day sooner had the wonderful US Post Office in Brooklyn done the job they get paid to do, which is to deliver mail. It sat in their truck the whole day on Wednesday, at the end of the day they updated the tracking to say they made a delivery attempt. Needless to say they did no such thing. I swear NYC has the worst postal service in the country.

But, happy ending! Now, I must read, read, read and put together a campaign. I can't wait for new supplements! I feel like a kid again.

Update time, I hadn't forgotten you, just been waiting for full confirmation.

The One Ring Priority Shipment has arrived in the UK and is now en route to our Oxford office. They are due to arrive here on Monday and I'll have all the paperwork ready to start packing up boxes and getting as many as I can in the post by Mondays mail collection - so it's entirely possible that some UK customers will start receiving their Priority copies on Tuesday

May have to go and have an evening drink in The Eagle & Child (Tolkiens old drinking hole here in Oxford) after I've packed the last of the priority shipments next week

Take care and have a good weekend,

Its my day off on Monday - So if you need a hand let me know - I only live in Thame - I will buy you pint for doing such a good job of TOR !!!

Surely they should have renamed it the 'Eagle and Hobbit' in honour of JRR.

And thanks for the information about the shipment.

Thanks for the update.

Poopy. It couldn't be helped but it looks like I won't be getting mine before the game on Sunday week

Now that the pre-orders are getting sorted out, is there any projection for when retailers will be receiving their copies?

Retailers in Germany said the copies will arrive at the 19. or 20. this month.
Maybe they lie... but hope never dies ^^

Given that would just 1 week before the advanced preorders are received, I would be surprised if that date was correct.

Mr friend here in Sweden who owns a Game store will not have it until mid September (or that is his forecast).

/wolf

Maybe the retailers in germany have preorderd ^^

I still have not received my copy in Arizona I keep checking the mail box and am getting worried. I hope nothing happened to it. I see that San Diego and NYC got delivered. Was mine ordered too late? Please, HELP with information!!!

I am still grateful I got the PDFs on Friday, August 4th, so that we could make characters and play, but it would be nice to have the physical product BEFORE it hits stores. How can I figure out what's going on? I emailed, but I haven't heard back.

Did you advanced preorder or preorder? How close to the release date did you advance preorder?

Also, I am pretty sure the books won't hit stores until mid September.

The German translation is about to be released in mid Oktober. Hmm when this is ture the original and german version release only differs about a month.
Damn the translators are fast ^^

So Angus... I hope you are packing parcels like a maniac and don't waste time at the forums.... So I'll take any Non-response here as a good sign.

Maybe one of your minions can give us an update during a coffee break or something?

/wolf

In Liverpool and got Tuesday off... Here's hoping

Another NorthWesterner
Hope it all goes well today Angus, will keep an eye out tomorrow, if not then hopefully Weds as I plan to be out on Thurs

I have gamers-night coming up on Thursday... would be awesome to have the game by then, but I think it will be tight, so realistically I'm happy if I have it on Friday.

Hi all,

The shipment has arrived in the UK warehouse and packing has commenced. Don't know how many will go out today (the delivery arrived about 3.30pm so fairly late) but all the Rest of the World priority orders will certainly be despatched by tomorrow.

Take care,

Exquisite!

Thank you Angus... Tuesday... well... Monday next week at the latest for me then.
