The "Its Arrived!" Thread

lol amazon still have books that were released in november listed as not yet in stock so i'd cancel it and try another source if u dont get it by friday mate.
 
Got mine in Vegas as well, and ran a small Marines take a 5000 ton starship.

It went well, although I probably played a little fast and loose with the combat rules, as I hadn't had as much time as I liked to read over them.

Chargen was simple enough for me to pre-gen a squad of six Marines in about an hour all by myself, but there was still some personality to each one of them that was easy for the players to find.

FP, pretty happy with the book and writing up his Marine adventure for possible perusal by others (maybe in S&P if I'm really fortunate)!

And I have to admit...I'm doing a little dance for this is the first time ever for me to be one of the first ones to have a new RPG book! 8)
 
Spoke with my LGS yesterday, It had arrived at the distributors and My copy should be in the store tomorrow (Wednesday). I'll be rushing by there after work to snag it.

Well no MGT in Manchester this Tuesday. Forbidden Planet, nada, despite have 1 and a half shelves devoted to Mongoose product. Same at Travelling Man. Fanboy 3 expected it either later this week or early next week.

However, I got GTA IV this morning, so I think I'll be a happy bunny until it turns up. :)

Just spoke to my FLGS here in middle of US - he had to call his distributor, but confirmed it will be available this Thursday. Can't wait.
 
Mine is here.

Leave it to the USPS to crush the box and scuff the cover, though. Now if I can find a little time away from my work to skim through it today.
 
well hopefully either forbidden planet or travelling man will have it in on friday or saturday if fanboy3 decide not to get it in till next week. as for it not being in atm i think thats coz esdeviumgames only started shipping it out today so i figure friday/saturday at the earliest before its in stock.

Take it in to the office and complain. Make them buy you a new/good one!

Seriously, complain loud enough and even the Postal Service will do something about it.

I did it when they damaged some books I had ordered. You have to be firm and polite, but don't take no for an answer.

Besides, then Mongoose gets 2 sales!
 
OK, this is how geeky I am over this, I just called my son at home and had him check the mail to see if the book had arrived.

IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in Kansas, USA, so if I can get it, everyone else should be getting it today too. I pre-ordered from Mongoose.

I think I feel a fever coming on, I will have to leave work early today.... (Cough cough)... :twisted:

I suck. I spent a few minutes polishing out the scuffs. There are still some light scratches but they're not enough to bother me now. Part of it *cough* was the fact the book was loose inside the shipping box and the book is glossy black so any defects show up more easily.

I can live with it, especially now that the cover is open and I'm reading the undamaged and nicely done rules.

I didn't dislike the artwork as much as some have mentioned. It's much better than Randy Quaid with a blaster. That picture sets me to laughing every time I see it.
