My local gaming store that normally gets the early releases didn't have either this morning. Cited printing problems.

Got my Guildmaster's Guide on D&D Beyond this morning, and have been reading through it extensively. Consider me a satisfied consumer.

Delayed at my FLGS.
Might just end up getting it from Amazon then, since I’ll get it about the same time.

I would think that if the WPN outlets are getting delays, the general outlets (including Amazon) would get delayed too. I can't see WotC hanging the FLGSs out like that.

The core rules gift sets should be out today, too, for those of us who are interested.

I don't see them yet in my part of the world. Though, Ravnica and Mad Mage are out in the wild.

Just spoke with my WPN FLGS, they have my order of Mad Mage but Ravnica is delayed.

Not really.
FLGS delays are happening because they aren’t getting the books. Amazon isn’t selling them not because they don’t have them, but because the release date hasn’t been reached.

If Amazon doesn’t have them in ten days, then FLGS won’t. I doubt they’ll delay the release dates from Amazon again. Not this close to the release.
It’s unfortunate, but unavoidable.

Well, if FLGS shipment (and hence probably production) is 3 days delayed (just a WAG), then It would seem to me that Amazon shipments would be delayed a similar amount. Probably less because you can expedite things to some extent.

Also, I assume (yes assume!) that Amazon normally gets their shipments early and then they hold them until the release date. So yea, maybe all locations will get their books on the 15th and then there will be no impact to Amazon shipments since they will still get them before they are allowed to ship them.

So yea, you probably are right.

My FLGS says that production delays pushed the core book gift sets but they have Mad Mage and Ravnica. I didn't verify myself since the core set is all I was interested in; I just called and talked to their RPG manager person.

I may have misheard re: Mad Mage, but I'm pretty sure she said they have it.
