| What month/year were each of the sets released in? I know Underdark was November 2005 but what about the other sets?
According to what I was able to find on Wizards site it looks like Harbinger was released in September 2003 followed by Dragoneye in December 2003. Unless those two sets were released close together to jump-start the game, Dragoneye should have released in February or March of 2004.
Any info/clarification on the release dates for all the sets? | |

| From Memory:
Harbinger VERY end September, Very Early October
Dragoneye, Late December (23rd or so... befor Christmas, but just by a hair)
Archfiend: March 04
GoL: June 04
Abberations: Oct 04
DK March 05
Angfelfire: June 05
Underdark: Nov 05
Moving forward their goal is the first Thursday of March, July and November for sets.

| Yep, now that I think about it Glumag your right. Underdark was supposed to be the first set released "on schedule". Of course teh schedule is already screwd up with WD....

| | Thanks for the clarification guys! I vaguely remember when Harbinger came out but lost track of the other sets. At least they managed to stick to 3 releases a year since 2004. | |

I'm no expert but my guess is we'll see it either bumped up to June 30th or down to July 7th. Personally I'd gun for the 30th (and not that it would be good earlier) because you'd get a lot of folks taking time off for the 4th holiday with extra time for prerelease and such. | |
You see! There ARE others out there just like me. What? Why are laughing? | |

Speaking of WotDQ, I really have a bad attitude toward only receiving 6 boosters per case. | |

| I, too, would prefer the "full" twelve per case. However, given that the WDQ boosters will be twice the price (or very close thereto) of a normal booster, it's nice not to have to save up twice the cash to purchase a case.
I'll take a little more randomness for that favor. | |

| Sorry guys, you have Archfiends wrong!
It was released on March 19, 2004!
I know that *very* well. It's my birthday! [)]
I don't care when the pre-release tournament was. We were out buying it on March 19. [:P] | |

| I wouldn't know specifically.
But I can make the educated guess that they did well enough--that's why we're even having a second Huge set. However, the success of GoL doesn't mean that distributors and stores weren't complaining about the amount of cash outlay per case and sheer amount of space that the GoL cases took.
Depending on the liquidity of the shop, I would imagine that some owners were also not happy about the increased cash outlay per case. Having a smaller case size can allow for some smaller shops to generate a bit of revenue before things really get going with WDQ sales, and there would be less risk of extra product as there are only 6 boosters per case.
This may not be a move in favor of the end-consumer (i.e. you and me) but I can certainly see where this would help out the shop. That eventually helps us out (usually).
Besides, until WotC spill the beans about the distribution of the Huges--well, that could really change the way things are viewed. That's really quite a significant part of the puzzle in this case. | |
