Should have read the preorder notice more carefully and ordered locally. I'll be waiting on the international shipping.

I'm looking forward to the books arriving, and don't mind much that they're showing up thousands of miles away and across an ocean (no, I promise, I'm not bitter!) before they reach people within a one- or two-day drive from their point of origin. At least not as long as they make it here before my next game day, and that's well over a week away. As long as they're here before next Saturday (July 3rd), I'm good. And I hope all you U.K. folks getting your books before those of us in the U.S. feel good about yourselves, flashing those shiny new books in our virtual faces while we hold back our tears of frustration, chewing on curses and imprecations as you enjoy the full-color goodness of this year's most awesome RPG product.

Darn you. Darn you all to heck.

Picked up my 2nd set from the local FLGS, nothing on preorder front.

My problem with ordering locally is... my FLGS (That's Entertainment, Worcester MA) wasn't participating... in fact, they've dropped about 80% of their RPG stock and carry just D&D 4e stuff as new. Not a big help there.

The other gaming store that I go to occasionally (only because it's ~450 miles away in my home-away-from-home -- Game Parlour, Chantilly VA) may have participated, but I only get there once or twice a year.

Regular ordering was my only method available...
And it still says "Preparing," yet under Shipping Method it simply says "Shipping," so who knows what stage it's in.

Maybe I'll be surprised and it'll be on my doorstep by week's end?

How do you say "I hate you for this" and not come off as seeming bitter?   ;D

This.

I was hoping to run something this weekend.  I still can off my laptop, but I want my books darnit!  There is something to be said for being able to flip through a book than scanning through a digital document.

<crosses fingers for a delivery before sat night, but is old enough no to hold his breath.... I think> :P

Thankfully my FLGS is owned by a wonderful woman who I've known since I was 8, who acts like a second mom.  So she takes chances on stuff I'm interested in.  And I get 10% off. 

Make you feel better?  ;D

To those of you who have received your books: has the order status on the Evil Hat online store changed beyond "preparing." at all?   Has anyone received any tracking numbers or anything?

I have received mine and the status is still "preparing."
If you have to ask, it probably breaks a Law of Magic.  You're just trying to get the Doom of Damocles.

Well, mine's status is still "preparing" as of an hour ago, but so many other people have received theirs I can only trust I'll receive mine shortly.

I shall cross my fingers with you.  Does that count as thaumaturgy?
