AotP Initial Distribution
This is a summary of what's been going on in the main discussion thread for newcomers here. When Hasbro announced a sudden month early Planeswalker Arena limited distribution, supposedly even Wizards of the Coast was taken by surprise! After much hustling around, it became clear that the only "early distribution" going on was that one demo copy was being sent out to to some game stores that had held Magic The Gathering Tournaments--as attested to by one store owner on boardgamegeek.
Gamers are just getting their own copies now through Amazon.com, but those of us waiting for store distribution will have to wait until August 1, the official general release date, which has not changed. |

Re: AotP Initial Distribution
Not having it at Gen Con feels like a total blunder. Of course I have no experience in the industry but releasing a game like this the weekend of Gen Con but not having it available to the attendees seems really strange.

Re: AotP Initial Distribution
I've seen numerous copies at Hastings. So if you have one nearby and dont want to wait the extra week go see if you can pick one up.

Looks like it will be available at Gen Con, though you need to buy a ticket to play/get it.

I talked with one of my FLGS today. What they told me is that certain stores affiliated with Hasbro/WotC got the special demo set. They would be stocking it the week of Gencon. Uncertain if this is official Hasbro policy.
