    Uhh... My boxes are in...

    Guys, this ain't no joke, but my order of 2 boxes of starters (12), and 2 boxes of boosters (24) are in. I just got a call from my local store... wtf...

    More to come... I will post pictures of the boxes when I get home if no one believes me.

    Please do.  I wonder if they were told not to sell them much like pc, and video game companys do?  In which case you are getting lucky that they are letting you have them.

    And not too smart for annoucning it on the official boards. I would highly suggest not mentioning the name of the place you got them otherwise they could get into some serious trouble.

    Yeah, selling something ahead of a release date is a good way to piss off your distributor and the product's company.  So while you had some good luck, if you want to keep it in the future, you should probably not advertise it.

    I remember going to Woolworths once, and they were putting out the Star Wars Saga figures out on the shelf, about three weeks before they should. I bought 90% of the box there and then, thanks to the "buy 1 get one half price" offer, and when i was chatting to the lady who was putting them out, she was telling me how she put out the ROTS ones out, and some guy came in with two baskets at a time, buying them all up... then after he had cleared her out of the figures, he explained that it was a month before they are supposed to be sold, and he's Ebaying the lot at 2-5x the price. ;P

    Don't say who the distributor is, but please PLEASE, give us a photo-journal of opening up a starter deck. I know i shouldn't what with Saturday so near, but i'm tempted to see what it looks like inside.

    Re: Uhh... My boxes are in...

    That's totally not fair. I won't be able to get cards until the 28th. =/

    By the way, we knew the boxes were plastic for a while, but we weren't given any details on the size or how the box was designed (the little compartments for the deck is real nice). I have to say, the starters are a little larger than I had hoped. Will UDE print some nice, old-fashion cardboard boxes for us to use? Side note, we had not seen Arcane shot before. Not bad for a common. Also, the Rogue you had of the oversized, we weren't exactly given that one, it was spoiled in an online article, but only if you read it.

    Assasination... Eng. Mining...

    Just as a sidenote... I just wen't through the starter deck for the Alliance Hunter I showed, and I must admit I am impressed, everything just seems to fit... Lots of commons... some uncommons... and 1 rare... does that sound right?

    Can you give us a breakdown of what's in the Hunter deck? Especially which rare.

    Re: Uhh... My boxes are in...

    I think so.  Sounds about right.  You gonna open up the two boosters that came with it see if your starter got lucky with an epic or Gasp a legendary?
