Buying Adventures- not in the States

So yeah, I knew Adventures was coming out, and I figured, like Guilds, it wouldn't be too hard to get hold of if I wanted it, and after the previews I was thinking this was a decent physical set to add to my selection.
Then... apparently I can't.
I've heard Europe is not getting published until September? OK that might be reasonable for translations, but why has the UK been forsaken?
And the US international postage rates are insane- given I assume- the giant box. Some enterprising guys need to start offering just the packs of cards and tokens and stuff on Amazon with respectable postage!

Anyone had any luck, or say, were there some if you preordered? That would at least let me be annoyed at myself rather than Rio Grande.

Thanks for that Rabid. Will keep an eye on the standard UK board game sellers.

Actually, the Dutch translation is due in two weeks  ;D. Not that that would help you a lot, but still, I think everywhere it would be quicker.

I hope the EU copies are cut/produced better than the US ones...

Well, presumably they won't be made by Hasbro.

Contrary to popular belief, I do not run the wiki all on my own.  There are plenty of other people who are actively editing.  Go bother them!

Check out this fantasy epic adventure novel I wrote, the Broken Globe!  http://www.amazon.com/Broken-Globe-Tyr-Chronicles-Book-ebook/dp/B00LR1SZAS/

So what, can I assume that all Hasbro-produced Adventures sets have horribly misaligned cards?

Up here in Montreal, my local board game store still doesn't have Adventures. I guess I'll have to order it online to get it within a reasonable timeframe, but then if the quality sucks...

I did pick up Guilds today instead, just because I already have Cornucopia and I don't want to be in a bad situation where I want Guilds but only the Cornucopia/Guilds double pack is in stock.

No, as most sets are fine (despite the fact I got a bad one).

Looks like UK retailers have received the first batch of Adventures...
