Walmart 3.5 New Release Date: 7-30-03

[gfunk]

Hey all,

I'd just like to point out that I will have plenty of the books in stock and I estimate to get all orders out on the 18th!
Getting orders out for the corebooks is my number 1 priority where as it's probably Wal-Mart's #167th priority.

You get what you pay for folks!

Your shameless plug was enough to convince me!

I ordered from Talon and cancelled my Walmart order moments ago!

My local Borders say july 30 as well. But I think thats just because they don't know when they will get it in during month.

I don't mind the jab, in fact he's right.

I know there's been a lot of talk about local game shops being overrun by the big guys, I even got a few nasty looks from my group when I mentioned that I was purchasing my books through Walmart instead of the local guy. Yeah, I'm shorting the shop $70 (that's his package deal) by not purchasing the core books. On the other hand I've probably spent $300+ at the shop over the past 7 months or so, and will spend more, on other gaming material.

Yea, but you could have to go my route

$18 each for all three, with a month buy the PHB at full $30, then with another month and buy all three at the full price. Then hope you don't have to buy a third copy of the DMG or Monster Manual.

You should know you never knock the competition. tsk tsk.

You'll never see a dime of my money

Heh heh... I didn't knock competition! I knocked Wal Mart!

[TalonComics]

Silly question, this...but I'm assuming my overnight means I'll get it on Monday, right?

Nope! You'll have them on Saturday the 19th!

[Mrs. Dungeon Master]

To make things worse....

From a gentleman who is selling the books on e-bay from the UK....

My question: > > These are shipping Thursday July 10 or Thursday July 17?

his answer:

These are shipping, and officially released on July 11th in the UK. The release date here wasn't delayed as it was in the US for some reason.

So much for the US.

Wheeee! Got UPS tracking and everything! I should have them well before the 18th.
