We get the shortest end of the stick as it gets shipped from the UK warehouse.

Our books go from China to US to UK to Australia/NZ

As said above, non-US orders take a couple of weeks more for C7 as they ship those orders to a UK warehouse first.

I am in the Minneapolis area and still awaiting mine. I hope to see it tomorrow

Thanks, Dom. I didn't think this was C7's doing.

It is an otherwise beautiful book, which makes the dings all the more aggrivating.

My copy arrived today in Gilbert, Arizona. No dings and looking good!

My copy arrived today in Sacramento, CA.

There was packing paper in the box, but only on top of the book; the book's back was up against the box.

I guess that's better than nothing.

Being in the UK... should I have had mine by now?

Not yet Steff. They're on their way to the UK/Europe from the US, where they landed first.

Thanks for that info Skywalker .... but dagnabbit! Such a circuitous route - if only there was a C7 warehouse in Asia-Pacific region (preferably Australia - of course!)
Oh well ... one positive to come from this is finding a fellow Australian TOR enthusiast (if I understand correctly?) I'm sure there are plenty of Aussies who are playing TOR, but I just can't find them - other than the few gamers to whom I've introduced the game.
Now - if I was to learn that we're in the same city and you're looking for another player/LM, well that would be just dandy.... (check PM)

Most other RPG companies send out the Asia/Pacific orders from the US, with only European orders from the UK. But given C7 is based in the UK, I assume that is why it is done this way.

But yeah, its pretty crazy

And sorry, but I am a Kiwi.

I see this is starting to come into the US. But none of my game stores seem to be getting it. Even Amazon is out of stock. How long would it take to get here through the cubicle store?

Funny, you don't look green and fuzzy.

Kiwis are brown and feathery, thank you very much

Preorders are sent out first. It is then two to three weeks or so for gaming stores in the US i.e. late September.

Add more for overseas gaming stores and non-gaming stores like Amazon.

My guess for Amazon would be early October.

Its not in stock with C7 yet. When it is shipping is normally up to 2 weeks worldwide.

My Amazon order says it's shipped but the delivery time is 2nd October or 3rd, don't remember exactly now. Also the Laketown is %34 cheaper on Amazon it's on sale.

The wonders of Amazon

Hopefully (and no promises made) we can update everyone tomorrow about European orders. And those which are despatched from Europe. Just waiting on a confirmation of a thing.

If it helps you wait for your FLGS to get it in....

Street date, according to my distributor, is Sept. 5th. I hope to have it on my shelf for sale that day.

Also, I received my personal pre-order from Cubicle on August 29th. Looks great!

Good news! Alliance shows that they have it in. In all but the west coast warehouse. I already asked my game store to order me a copy. Should have it next week. Should be just in time for my next session. If anybody shows up that is, sigh.

Just had an email from Sue Clements (C7 Fulfilment) confirming that my copy has been sent out, so it looks like the UK addresses are being posted now.

I got an email too, so UK orders are go!

<high five>

This bodes well then ... Let's hope that we Aussies and other brown, feathery Antipodean-types also get the nod SOON.

Jon -

Yeah - one of life's most frustrating experiences is waiting for confirmation of a thing!

Do kiwi eat kiwi fruit?

Do all aussies have hats with corks?

Do all pommies whinge about the weather? (yes we do)

More stereotypes may possibly follow....

As you will have gathered from prior posts Tales from Wilderland is in the UK warehouse, and shipping out to preorder customers in the UK and further afield.


Estimated delivery times to Australia and New Zealand... are extremely hard to give. But it will be en route to you in the next couple of days.


Street date for general release in the US is 5th September. UK date date to be confirmed, but it won't be far different.

Update! Uk street date for Tales is confirmed as the 4th of September.

Great to see the hard copy finally getting out there for people to buy and enjoy, Jon!

It really is one of the best collections of scenarios for any RPG that I've read - I'm hard pushed to think of another off hand.

Will it be the same date for the rest of Europe? I'm in Germany, and I'm dying to get my hands on a printed copy ...

+1
So I guess we were all Bcc's on the same one.

Not to downplay the immense appreciation I've placed on having PDFs of gaming material in the last couple of years, I'm really looking forward to the arrival of my real book.

Had an e-mail from C7 saying order despatched - guessing this is TfW given Jon's post, rather than Yggdrassil

Well Garbar - I have some hats and I do collect corks from time to time .... but I'm yet to tether the latter to the former .... though I may need to if I go walkabout in the Outback and the blowies distract me from sinkin' some tinnies!
I do eat kiwi fruit however - yet that doesn't qualify me as a NZer (if only it did - then I could get a job as a Peter Jackson extra), and though I don't whinge about the weather I do boast about it all the time!
BTW - I got my dispatch email earlier today .... YAY!

Leisure Games in UK is offering TfW for sale if u did not preorder.

Having pre-ordered it from C7 I'm going to be a bit annoyed if regular distribution customers can get theirs first. It'll certainly stop me from pre-ording anything from C7 again.

Leisure Games tend to get stock Wednesday and dispatch same or next day, so they won't be shipping anything until then.

Yeah, I'd expect that if I ordered it from LG then I'd get it this Friday (7th) or maybe Thursday (if incredibly lucky), assuming I lived in mainland UK.

Tales From Wilderland just arrived. No problems with the packaging here.

Just arrived this morning in sunny Fife, Scotland and all well. Now to find some players that are interested in playing...

Cheers,
Ross

I didn't get any confirmation yet that my copy is on its way ... seems strange, because it should ship from the UK, as I live in Germany. I know that it still takes a while to get from the UK to Germany, but why hasn't it shipped yet?

I ordered mine from Amazon. It's here.

The (Great) Eagle has landed. Repeat: the (Great) Eagle has landed.

My copy made it over from the despatcher in Maldon, Essex, England, this AM.
Cunningly unwasteful cardboard packaging. Book in perfect condition: beautiful glossy cover with not a scratch or a fingerprint on it.
