[UK] Help! Where Can I Order The Upcoming ORCUS D&D Mini?

[Jools]

First we were told it was going to be a US exclusive (boo!), then I see this (yay!!). I'm very excited about getting my hands on one BUT, I currently live in Japan! So I'll need to get my mum in Bristol to get me one. So my lovelies, where can I/her order one from? I can't find anything, I'm really desperate!

Well, Charles will know more so you might be able to find out more information from him, but from the Wizards Play Network event calendar/database, I found the following information about shops which were either in the south(ish) of the country or where I wasn't sure, which ran or at least ordered and planned to run the Game Day, or other non-shop groups:

Burton on Trent - not reported [Spirit Games]
Cardiff - not reported [Cardiff Games]
Chorley - reported [6 players, Chorley Central Library]
Beeston - reported [6 players, Chimera Leisure]
Gravesend - reported [7 players, The 3 Daws pub]
Harlow - reported [14 players, Marquee Models]
London - reported [6 players, Leisure Games]
Oxford - not reported
Reading - reported [? players, Ecclectic Games]
Ripley - reported [14 players, Chimera]
Stoke - reported [8 players, Guys that Game]

Nothing in Bristol, I'm afraid, and while Cardiff Games set up the event they haven't (yet) officially told WotC whether they actually ran it. I don't know if that's any use.

I think I remember reading that thay will not be available for order. They will be made available only through your FLGS.

Thanks for the excellent sleuthing pedr! I will investigate. I'm mad for an Orcus.

I believe (despite the great power the interwebs for ordering things), that stores can order things too, putting them under the counter for you to pick up at a later date. Sometimes they will even post things to your door .
