It is extremely frustrating to go to the forums and hear all about the nice Xplosion figs when your country still hasnt started selling those boosters yet! Anyone else out there like me?

Thanks for that...

I sympathise - here in the UK almost all releases (except Sinestro, for some reason), have been about a week at least behind the States. I'm playing in a Xplosion tourney tonight - which sugests they are out here - but even so the Judge has warned us to take a 300pt Marvel team just in case there are no XP boosters available.

International distribution of HC has been really patchy, to say the least.

Again, my sympathy - I know how it feels...

All the Best

Ah man Mysterio, that was down right mean. I feel for the guy. Granted, I only had to wait a day, but it still blew coming here and reading about everything when I couldn't find them anywhere. I did, and all I can say to Spider Boy is:

SAVE ALOT OF MONEY! YOU WILL WANT ALOT

Hey noman, I would have included you in that one too, but your post came as I was typing. The above goes for you! I think this set is AWESOME

Guys, I sympathize with you. Here in the southeast U. S. we seem to be getting shorted. Every store in Huntsville AL only got one case, as all the distributors say they were shorted. From what I hear, Wizkids catered to the West Coast and Northeast area. I don't know what is up, but most of our retailers here were told it would be1-3 weeks before they would get their full orders. Ahh, Patience is a virtue.

Thanks! Yeah,im definitely saving alot. Cant wait for it to come out. But i mean, whats taking so long? Worse, DaredevilxXx claims stores in his area is shorted. Whats up with that? If they say boosters are coming out by a certain date, they should make sure supplies are distributed properly. I mean cmon!!! :angry:

And I thought we got shafted up in chilly Canada when my local store got his boosters one day late.....Sucks to be you guys!!! (But then again, my internet preorder might be excessively late so I can't laugh too hard)....

I run a store here in Austin where we sell booster packs and singles. We got 2 cases on 3/26 and opened one to sell as singles and put one case out to sell as boosters.

Here is our scorecard...

Alliance- 6 cases ordered, 2 delivered on 3/26
Diamond- 1 case ordered, 12 boosters delivered on 4/2

We are waiting on the rest of the shipments from Alliance and Diamond. I placed a hurry up order with ACD which might ship next week.

Now, I am out of the boosters with a measly 12 coming in this week and promises of more. The singles are selling well, but we do not know when we will be restocking.

I think our results are typical. In my opinion, Wizkids should get more product into the pipeline by either amping up production or pushing back the release dates. But with them adding more and more product lines, I do not expect this to get better any time soon.

Yeah, you're right it does suck to be us guys, I wonder if I could order the next set when it comes out in America, so I'd get it earlier than the rest of the country, then I could laugh along with you.

I don't get it. everyone here talks like the game wasn't even going to come out ANYWHERE until April. It hurts to know more about the situation then the people in charge of getting it to me.

I may as well live in the UK. At least then I'd have an excuse for being so pasty.

Wednesday, what the ...... You sure you live in the UK? Maybe the guy at my comic store ordered them too late, still, I cant wait for them, I know what they all look like, Wizkids has the whole list, and pics. A certain Mandarin rocks, Collosus looks too Manga, still wet my appetite for more clix though.

CANT WAIT FOR THE DAY THEY ARRIVE!!!!!
