A third party fulfilled by Amazon now offers Prime. I would still wait for more competitive pricing with Prime.

There is probably some lesson here, but I am not sure what it is.

Your FLGS is weird? That's so strange they don't take pre-orders.

What can I say? I was speechless. Truth to be told, it looks like their main business is Magic in various forms, with other games a distant second place, but generally they have at least tried to be helpful in the past, so I have been happy enough to give them my business. But not this time, since they wouldn't take my 47 money.

My LGS also seems like an MTG store that carries a couple other games on the side.

The game store near my house literally only sells M:TG.  It's depressing not caring about that game sometimes.

I've basically fallen out of "board gaming" aside from Dominion because so many places are focused on MtG. I really dislike MtG.

Ah, that would explain it. My store is weird in that we do carry Magic, but just packs. That's apparently incredibly unusual.

You should probably "quality check" all of those.  :)

Someone's got to make sure that they all smell good enough!

Just got my copy! While unwrapping I noticed some interesting things though:
The new cards seem more pliable than previous cards. (Is this just my imagination?)
Cards were sorted by cost rather than alphabetized.
Font for sortation thing was different than normal.

I wonder if these things are results of being printed in U.S.  It is kind disappointing but the new card smell makes up for it (a long with the cards of course).

The cards are definitely bendier; Hasbro is "looking into it." Hasbro previously printed some promos, including Prince; those are not bendier.

Jay accidentally changed the inlay font at some point and so now multiple products have that inlay font.

Well, the plastic wrap on the outside seems to be in good condition. The Mrs. has instructed me to finish doing stuff around the house before I'm allowed to open it though...

Correction: Not Prince, they printed new copies of earlier promos.
