Does anyone have Keep on the Shadowfell in Australia?

I've ordered mine from MilSims, but no idea what that means for me getting it.

If not, I'm boardgaming this weekend. If yea, I'm boardgaming & roleplaying this weekend.

Well, actually, roleplaying & boardgaming & roleplaying if yea.

Cheers!

My FLGS told me Wizards in Oz was waiting for them to clear customs, and that they should be in store by Monday.

The important thing here to remember is that I'm looking for gamers in Melbourne to play/DM with/for

Just been talking to (Pukunui's) FLGS...Vagabond in Auckland, I don't have one here in the wops.
However he said they can get the core books about 2 to 4 days after launch for 56$NZ each (buying from a US web provider) because the RRP for official books from WotC (which would be available on the 6th, if shipping goes OK) is 69.90$NZ!!!!!! I dunno about OZ, but I am sure it is similar, in NZ books are ridiculously expensive. I don't expect Amazon level prices (23US) because there is not the market here but 69.90NZ is approx 55US. The US RRP is 35, so in NZ we get a mark up of almost TWO THIRDS.
Man that makes me angry, you want to support a local store but when you can get the core books shipped from Amazon cheaper and just as fast (even the cheaper price does not match Amazon with expedited delivery) it makes it hard!

Sorry for the whinge I just wanted to get it off my chest (especially as I lived in the UK for 13 years, blessed with cheap Amazon.co.uk books there!)

I just had a look over Hasbro's site and really only found minitures and dice and a Dnd basic

I think it's really strange that the WotC owner doesn't try and sell their own product ???

But looking at Hasbro's site you can tell its done by the same people who do Wizards, it's all over the place

Looks like Im going shopping on Monday

Slightly off-topic but when I was working for Auckland City Council, my boss asked me to get her a book from Borders, which was right next door. I couldn't find it so I asked about it and I was told they'd have to special order it. It was going to cost about NZ$50 and would take like six weeks or something. So I went online and found amazon selling new copies of the book for 15 US cents!! Even with the $10 shipping or so, it was going to cost much, much less and was estimated to arrive in two weeks. Guess which one I ordered?

BTW, the Borders in Auckland also sells D&D books but for the same price as Vagabonds (Heroes is even more expensive).
