My bookstore got Eberron in on 6/10. So you should be seeing it in other stores either now or very soon.

I went all over town today looking. The local gaming/book stores all have it down to a science based off of when barnes and noble's website gets books available, strangely enough. According to their system, the earliest I will be getting my hands on Eberron is Wednesday the 16th.

My bookstore is the same company as B&N, so you should be able to find Eberron at either Barnes and Noble stores or B. Daltons, or maybe one of the other stores affiliated with us like doubleday or scribners....

I checked both the Barnes and Noble and B Dalton. No luck. I am resigned to the unfortunate fact that I am going to have to wait.

Welcome to the club, Moog my fellow Boisean. I've got my pre-purchased at Dark Horse (for the figure, of course), so I won't be seeing it until Wednesday.

Ha! I think I am going through Hobbytown, that is where I get most of my stuff, but if Hastings gets it in before I make it back to HTUSA... that extra $10 off is really enticing.

Gotta love Hastings and their "30% off everything" plocy! I live over on the North End, so getting out to mall-land is a pain. But when I did live there, Hobbytown was the place to be.

Nice.

N'wah: I live right there on the corner of mall land, and it is still a pain. :rofl:

I ordered from game outfitter dot com, they has it for a decent price but they said it won't be availible for another week.

So I need to wait that week plus 10 days shipping =( ARGH!

I got mine from Walden Books yesterday(6/11), and they had a ton. And probably will for awhile, as I think I'm the only one who buys the D&D stuff there.

Yeah, I just went to Waldenbooks in the mall today and I stood there in shock for a minute when I saw 4 brand new, shining Eberron Campaign Setting books. So, I bought one.

There are three left, if there are any other Boiseans out there, or if you want to go look at one, N'wah.

Needless to say, I have some reading to do. Goodbye, all.

You have no idea how odd it is to hear this!

I'm thinking some stores broke the release date.

or because Walden's(well mine anyways) usually has very few copies of anything, they apparently get very little traffic for D&D stuff around here(as the are minus one XPH and one CD, both of witch I bought, well I think they're only out one of each).

In my experience, Walden's gets RPG materials 2-3 weeks after official release date.

I used to *work* in Borders. It's one thing to see a book in a FLGS; it's just a different experience (for me at least) to see it in one of the mainstream stores, and something I've never had before.

I got my copy on 6/11, which is funny because my B. Dalton usually gets new books near the end of the month or the month after.

Some of you are lucky. The B. Daltons and Waldenbooks in my area won't be getting the book till 6/23, or so their computers say anyway. I know my LGS won't release it till 6/18 to customers.

I hate you all who have it, I so hate you very very much. I spit on you. ;)

Man, I so want this book. I have so many ideas for this setting, this setting deserved it.

Amazon is still saying that the book won't ship till the 28th. :(

I ordered my copy through Amazon and it is ready for shipping. I picked up a copy at Barns and Noble tonight.

I work at B Dalton. We got our copies in on Thursday. I expect most of our stores and the B&Ns to get them very soon, as we are the same company. We got in three. One was stolen this evening. One was purchased (by me!) And the last is still waiting on our shelves.

I just spent my day reading it, great stuff, Keith. I think I may just push that we drop the 17th level FR campaign we have been running for months now right in the middle of an adventure and start Eberron ASAP.

EDIT: Oops, already a thread about char sheets. My bad.

Its the same at my Waldens, so for them to have it early, much less like 7 copies of it, is amazing.

Here in the Netherlands, well every store that carries it is already selling it!

... mmmm.. I guess I should buy....

I went to a Border's store yesterday to look for it since I had a gift card I can never seem to get around to using...

Having never been inside a Border's, I must say I gave up the search after I realized the store was about three thousand times bigger than the biggest thing in the universe. I mean seriously. Next time I'm just going to call and ask. :confused:

I've already put a similiar post in another thread, but I'm so anxious to find a copy that I'm hoping someone can let me know if they find one around the Portland Oregon area. If I find one, I'll put up a message ASAP. Soonest I've heard sofar is possibly Tuesday though.

Thanks
