If it hasn't, I'd assume it will be soon. Friend of mine got his late last week, and he also got a shipping notification on the 27th.

No, it is still not here. I sent Shane Ivey at Arcdream an email on Friday and have not yet had a response from him.

Yeah, I think something's definitely up with yours. Mine didn't ship until the 5th or 6th, and it arrived yesterday.

Well, either it is missing in action, or Canada Customs is taking their time deciding what to charge me for duty.
Hopefully they don't use eBay for valuations and see those hefty BIN's.

Steven and Alex---I haven't made time to put the DG packages together yet, and they may slip until after the holidays. I'll keep you posted.

It just arrived! At long last!
What a great looking book!
I can hardly wait to inflict it on my players... :twisted:

From the length of time it took, it sounds like a Customs Agent has already done the same to their players. :lol:

Just to note....anyone still interested, Chaosium still has a few copies...very few I understand. I ordered a couple more copies from them and they arrived pretty quickly, so if you're interested, there are still a few available.

Mike,
Have you managed to sell a few of them on eBay?

Also worth noting that they were pleasantly surprised by the number of orders they got with their free shipping promo, and are offering it again until the end of the month.

(US orders over $50 and international orders over $125 that use the coupon code I WANT FREE SHIPPING can get orders shipped for free (though slower than if shipping was paid for).)

Given that that's just 2 copies for US residents...

I did, for double the cover price. So it's already proven itself an "instant collectible" so to speak. Seeing as the original three chapbooks can still manage $50-$100 each on ebay, the Delta Green Eyes Only Hardback is a spectacular deal.

Cheers Allan, you're a gent. I still have your Elfish Gene here, which I will pop in the post next week.

By the way, a few larger gaming shops may have these. I know Leisure Games in the UK bought a few for resale... at a higher price :wink:

A reprint is on the way in 2008, dubbed the 'retail' edition. So sell them whilst they are hot I guess.
