Complete Mage - Is it out yet?

[Nightchilde-2]

The official street date is Oct. 10th, according to my distributors.

According to UPS, I get mine later today.

I'll be answering questions here when I get the chance. Better yet, rather than typing things out twice I'll provide a link to the WotC Boards where I will originally be writing it out.

Dude, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V!

Do you think Crothian got to be where he is with an attitude like that?

I thought he paid off Eric to give him 2,000 posts.

Ya, you'd never catch me posting to a site like that

Not to mention the fact WotC forums aren't that accepting of my love of Scarred Lands or my obsession of all things Orcus related.

Okay, I admit they have their good sides

I'd really appreciate info being posted here. I can't access the Wizards site at all from work and even at home their boards come through really screwy.

And you're under the impression that we are here Nightfall!

Just kidding.

Sometimes stores do weird things like "I have it in on day X but can't release it officially until day Y". I wonder if Oct. 10 is day X or Y? I hope that I can get it on the 10th. I wanna see what the Hexblade and Warlock get!

I can answer that to some degree (being a store owner and all that).

What you're talking about is the Release Date vs. the Street Date.

Release Date is the date (some) distributors will release the product to stores.

Street Date is the official "we can sell this now" date. Publishers generally don't like people selling before the Street Date. It's supposed to keep things nice and even as far as starting stores off with having product available for sell the same day, thus not giving one store an advantage over the other.

The problem is, some stores (not mine) break Street Date and sell things early. This, indeed, sucks for those of us playing by the rules. BTW, Oct 10th is the Street Date.

Thanks for that Nightchilde-2. I have now confirmed from multiple sources that the 10th is the street date for Complete Mage (and any other WotC releases for October I imagine).
