If memory serves correctly, Hinterlands had an Amazon listing a couple months in advance of Essen, though it wasn't actually available for purchase until December. The Base Cards also had an Amazon listing beforehand. Where's the Dark Ages listing? I want to get it as soon as possible! And I realize I've probably asked this before, but not sure if I got an answer: I realize that Dark Ages is officially released at GenCon, but when will it actually go on sale? Hinterlands was "released" at Essen last year, but it didn't come to stores until December, as previously mentioned.
