So pre-release on the July 4th weekend and release is usually the Friday after which would indicate July 11th. | | Champion of the Yeti

| | 23 May 2008 11:58 PM | | What a bummer as I'll be on vacation with the family in SoCAl. Going to Disneyland oooooooooh yeah! But there seems to be a downside to this. No pre-release and no mini's until the release date. I'll take the positive, anybody want some Mickey Mouse ears?

I've always understood from the local store owner that he can choose between Saturday and Sunday for the event. That gives him some leeway to plan around other events. So the weekend, rather than a single day, is when one can expect a prerelease event. | | | |

Hopefully, we'll see some movement on this. The Kalamazoo store can be a little slow. I might just send in the sanctioning stuff myself... Dave | | Knowledge Arcana editor issues 5-9, Phoenix Lore Magazine editor, assistant editor for Rite Publishing;

| | 12 Jun 2008 01:06 AM | | It's definately the 5&6 of july, because it says so on the WotC website. And I especially like: Each participant receives an alternate-paint mini, Chain Golem, (while supplies last) Though I haven't seen the update to the floor rules that was out on june 1 2008? | | | Mailinglist for Dutch DDM players - Bifur - Tradelist | |
