[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8854891, member: 59816"] Sort of. It seems more likely that they mean that the next "wave" is expected to come out in February, and they gave me nothing from the first wave. This is a common "white lie" in the industry. (In that they tell you that it's not out until XX, but they mean "not for you".) Good to know, though I would point out that the deluxe version is not a Beyond exclusive. We have THOSE for sale, just not the by-itself version of the board game. Where did you get yours, out of curiosity? The priority is not on "earlier" orders (as our orders are due at the same time industry-wide). The priority is usually on SIZE of order. They may allocate across the board, at say, 20%, so if you order 100, you get 20, but if you order 2, you get zero. (I don't know how many we ordered, but it's likely that is what happened). OR they fill Amazon first, and everyone else gets screwed. It could go either way. It also depends on distributor. And country for that matter. I am Canadian, so it's possible that less made it across the border (though that happens less often than everyone thinks - Canada is basically (usually) considered a small state when it comes to these things, and gets stuff at the same time as the US, unlike Europe and Australia (for example). Any idea what the bundle-version looks like? The little picture on the corner of the bundle boxes that I have (showing "Book Included!") makes it look like the regular cover, IIRC. [/QUOTE]
