With that said, it might be worth giving Matt a call on Friday night to see when he'll be closing.  Friday Night Magic does tend to go late, so if he's still open at midnight he is allowed to sell the book.

Please don't keep him here late though, the guys have a busy weekend ahead of them.

As for me... Well... I'll be riding jet skis and laying on the beach! :D

some are apprently doing midnight sales a 12:00 am friday

For the record, we have been specifically instructed NOT to do this.

GW normally does not care if we break "street dates" on normal releases / products.  They historically HAVE been strict with respect to their new edition launches though.  This time around is no exception.

12:00am Saturday (late Friday night) is a different story.

That said I don't mean to harass you before you go but has all the Collector's Edition stuff been sorted already?

Sorted?  Yes, if you mean what I think you mean.

Right now the plan is to hope the random amounts of books they're sending to the two stores over three different shipments ends up totaling the amount they said it would.  At that point we need to shuffle the books to their correct location for Saturday.

This only matters if you're getting one of the two different special edition books.

Here is the Deal I ordered a Collector's Edition if you still have a Spare Gamer's Edition My Brother would like to buy a Copy of the Gamer's Edition. It will be picked up for Saturday by him or myself as well as my Collector's Edition.  At Plainville

Chase, while you and your team have been instructed not to sell early are you allowed to read it early?  Seems like at least one person per store should read the rulebook before Saturday.  Can only imagine how crazy the first game will be if nobody has read the book yet.

What's crazy is trying to make an army list when you don't know what the new rules will hold.  I usually skip out on an astropath.. but something I seen in the WD makes me want to take one this time.  I think he might come in handy.

I'm taking a Deathwing list. The same one I ran in 5th. Whatev. This ruleset will be around for awhile, and I'm not astute enough to game a system that's not even in place yet.

Anyone else notice that the servo skull tape measures are now listed on the GW website as new releases?  Will there be any coming in the shipments today for sale tomorrow?  I know last word on the dice packs and the tape measure was that they were delayed indefinitally.

EDIT:  And did the shipments come in?  Hmmm?  Hmmm?  Can't wait for tomorrow!
