D&D Gamer Tote

[Remathilis]

I just noticed this on WotC's site: a D&D game Tote:

Holds at least 5 core rulebooks
Plastic compartmentalized box for holding miniatures
Zippered insert pouch
Pen/Pencil slots
Map pouch
Water bottle pouch

You could win one off WotC's site (competition closed, I saw it too late) or buy it at GenCon (didn't get to go )

So, my questions:

Did anyone pick this bad boy up at GenCon?
How much was it?
Is it any good? (sturdy, strong, useful?)
Is WotC going to sell them through any other anvenues (website, mail order, hobby shops) or is my only hope Ebay?

I have a Charon gaming bag and have used it for over two years.

I need to write a review on that thing. It's been great.

Interesting. Looks like it would be better than the hiking backpack I use now. Was a price listed?

I have one also. I gave it a lot of hard use over the course of almost two years, to the point it tore apart. I loaded it much too heavily at times, so it isn't the fault of the bag. It's a fine product.

This WotC offering looks nice. I need to look into it.

Looks like one the RPGA had back a few years ago at GENCON.

Do you have a link to this thing? My search skills are apparently weak.

I ran into somebody with one on an elevator and asked about it. It looked like a very solid bag. I didn't catch what they were selling it for. If it was at the con, I suspect you'll find it on ebay
shortly.

Man do people over at the wizards boards get uptight about stuff. Look at the reactions to those posting after the deadline. I mean it's just a but of fun isn't it?
