Last I heard a slow boat from China caused the delay to be August 31st.  I went and checked my Borders.com pre-order and saw "Releasing Sept 21st" now.

Amazon.com is saying Sept 10th now vs August 31st.

What gives?  Is the boat missing?

This really makes me second guess pre-ordering this board game let alone the the Wrath of Ashardalon board game.

My FLGS had copies for sale this weekend (Aug 28th-29th). At 40$CAN. I hadn't planned on purchasing anything this week but I had a Castle Ravenloft box going home.

$40 Canadian.

Where in Canada do you live? What is the name of the game store?

I would love to get Castle Ravenloft for $40 Canadian!

I ordered my copy from Chapters.ca for $47.02 + Tax

Plus it is not shipping till Sept. 21 ! ! !

Thanks!

Amusingly, Amazon has two entries for it - one lists it as shipping on September 10th, and one lists it as in stock, but taking a couple days of processing (the second is sold/shipped from "Art's Game Store," not Amazon).

My Friendly Local Bookstore's order site says it doesn't come out until the middle of September, so they won't stock it until them… >_<

All this " Ravenloft Boardgame " thingy is pretty bad.
I pre-ordered the box more then 3 months ago , and it seems that once again i won´t be reveiving the game on the date they said it would come out.
"China boat" or not , WOTC has the obligation to it´s customers to say what´s happening , and why the shops ( online or physical) aren´t receiving the product.
And since i bought from an European store , i don´t even know if the "China boat " excuse applays, because if some stores in Canada already have them.....

You know what WOTC?!? , because of this , i cancelled the Wrath of Ashardalon pre-order and bought something from your competitors instead with that money.....

I'm at Amazon's mercy - we don't even have a bookstore in this town. The closest ones are 90 minutes away, and I'm not making a 3-hour round trip in the hopes of finding something on the shelves. So...the release date that matters for me is Amazon's. Frown

40 $CAN in Montreal, plus taxes (we have our own provincial sales tax). On top of the costs for your trip that might not be so much of a bargain.

The store is Carta Magica. You'd better check with them before doing the trip because my understanding was that that was a really limited time offer.

Other stores I've seen it in had it at 70$CAN. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Wow. I just bought the game for 65 dollars Canadian... 40 dollars is a damn good price!

Saw Castle Ravenloft at a local Convention over the weekened.   65 bucks.  It's definitely out.  It's not cheap.

This one is definitely a case where I'll just have to apologize to my FLGS. I saved $25 ordering it online, and that's well worth waiting two days to get it.
