| Yes !!!
My cases should arrive on thursday, but I'll probably only be able to get them saturday (tooooooo much work)
But, one week before the expected date. 
And if I'm extremely lucky I can get them tomorrow, but that's almost hopeless. | |

Do you mean we'll eventually get them at what was supposed to be the official date in Europe?

| Just out of curiosity, until they are widely distributed in Europe, are
they tourney legal there, it might give some unfair advantages to
people able to get their hands on the new minis faster.

| | Realism has prevailed around legality - the Italian Nationals didn't allow them since they were not publicly available in Europe. I've not seen any tournament where they've been used during the "time of great concern". Now, of course, they are available and can be used. DCI legality is another issue.... | |

| Here in Helsinki, Finland we ruled them legal. Most of us had the Medium Copper from the gameday and a few guys bought some on Ebay.
(edit) And apparently my FLGS has some now. Of course I'm broke until the end of the month. :/

Also, at least I got my case at a reduced price. Small comfort | |

| | I got my hands on some Blood War yesterday. I can't say I have noticed any big difference plastic-wise (comparing it to earlier sets), but I did notice that the base of the figure no longer has the "made in China" remark. They look a lot cleaner, less cluttered. Probably this is the same in the American release, although I don't remember reading about it. In any case, the European run seems to have the same card issues as the American: some cards are noticeably larger, and they seem to use a different (shinier?) card stock than before. | |

| Got my case today,
nice pulls, even though there was quite a lack of fiends in my pulls (only 1), these were my rares:
* Dragonkith
* Kolyarut
* Solar
* Dwarf on Boar (woot!!!)
* Centaur War Hulk
* Storm
* Valenar Charger
* Fire Giant (woot!!!)
* Horned Devil (woot!!!)
* LoB
* Howler
* Owlbear
That's it. Bit dissapointed that 'll have to Ebay for the expensive ones (pit fiend, gelugon, etc),
D.
Edit: Done, ordered a whole set of fiends (some in multiples). I will have the set completed in the next two weeks!  | |

| At least, I got my cases !!!
Rares went very average : 6 duplicates. Well, not excellent duplicates fo me, but anyway : bralani eladrin, marilith (beurk), gythianki on dragon (OK, but one would have been enough), thundertusk cavalry, centaur warhulk, howler.
I was quite lucky with the rares, as I got almost all the best ones. Missing : valenar charger, elf dragonkit, lord of blades (I surely could live without these), chasme, solar and fire giant (never lucky with giants...)
I was lucky with the uncommons as well : 4 water elementals, 4 gargoyles, 4 elf warmages, 4 dragonmark heirs of deneth (which have an excellent paintjob, better than some rares), 3 maugs, 7 gnolls. Only 2 slaads though. I will have to buy some.
Oh, and a broken phoera Hope I can glu it neatly.
Small glitch for the commons : got 9 snakes and 7 greenspawns only ).
All I can say is that the set is as good as it seemed.
Great job WotC ! | |

iluvxtina, there seems to be some problems with Devir distributions. If that is your case (I hope not) I'm afraid it will even take longer. Hope it's only a bad rumour.
