Although without doubt someone will break release date like they did with Walking Dead.

I'm super bummed because I am going on vacation and really wanted to break my three boxes before I left

Hopefully there wont be issues with the USPS holding my mail because I am going to want them when I get back after the 9th- even with the long wait!

AlexCGood to see its finally coming out. I still don't know if I want to order online or take my chances and see if a store might have it.

Bacall1Just got word that this release was delayed once again. I just hope the sellers I have preordered from on eBay come through since it will be well past the time limit for a claim. I feel confidant about the seller of the boxes, but I have never purchased from the one selling the 10 card auto sets. I guess unless a firm date is listed there is not too much reason to get excited for a release.

Aren't there like 18 cards in the autograph set?

Scott GaetaHi All,
Just a quick explanation on why we have pushed this back. In reviewing the first off the line proofs for one of the chase sets we were not happy with the quality. Because of this we've asked our printer to go back and re-do those forms.
I apologize for the delay but we don't want to put something out that we(or you)won't be happy with. Because of the holiday the delay will be a little longer than normal so instead of trying to rush this out we will release in January.
Thanks and Happy Holiday!
Scott

Juelle LouThat's disappointing that it has been put back. But I do prefer what they are doing, then have something not of the best quality.
All in all, I'm happy to wait.

SBelcherI don't want to sound overly critical, but what is the deal with all the mistakes made by the printer's lately?
I have no idea if Cryptozoic prints 'in-house' or if they outsource, but it seems like there are some major issues in the printing world

Very glad to hear that quality is a priority rather than shoving a lesser product out the door (listen up "major" manufacturers)!

Totally agree with you

Juelle LouSo is there any word on if the release be early, mid or late January?
I know I'm being impatient, but I can't wait for it to be released

January 01, 2012, 07:50 PM
Scifi CardsI was told the the holidays would create a 2-3 week delay, that was on 12/21. But they also said they'd let us know when they have a new release date.
So, it's up in the air. We'll probably find out more when everyone's back in the office this week.
Ed

Does this mean that all the other sets release dates are consequently pushed back as well or just this one?
January 05, 2012, 05:17 PM
Juelle LouI hope so

Don't hate me

It will just give me more time

January 05, 2012, 07:56 PM
Scott GaetaYes, we will push The Guild back a bit. We don't want to release two sets right on top of each other.
Best,
Scott
