Not at all. They can keep it just the way it is, because surely the cards will be ready by July 1st, 2006...Surely?? Won't they?! Erm...I mean...

Yay for me! I spent the last month (prolly) away from PPC and not a damn thing has changed. Except that the card release date has come and gone. Sorry to piss you off but you're pissing me off.
This is all a top-secret ruse to find Osama bin Laden. After mastering heiroglyphics they'll be throwing Persian at us.

Beautiful layout, pretty, stylish, involving - but no damn progress EVER! WHAT THE HECK!!!
Venting good - POTUS bad.

Nothing has happened, aside from a murder, a maze puzzle, a secret document encoded into the maze, a bunch of private communication files, a mysterious "3," new speculation, suspects, and motives, and a whole bunch of background.
Yeah, aside from that, nothing has happened.

don't fForget about the religious cults, the secret society and the radio-casts.
oh, and before all that was all the stuff about the recons, with puzzles, more suspects, people going to jail, and our fFirst glimpse of what could be the cube.
So no. I guess not much really has happened at all then. Sorry.

Nine stores from nine major cities across Earth have been chosen to stock the cards at launch. They will also be available online at Firebox. Update: the cards have now been printed, and should be in stores mid-July 2005.

The word "should" disturbs me.

"Should" is a very useful standard marketing word. Covers your butt in case of all sorts of things -- like losing cubes, having trouble with the printers and just plain not being sure of whether you can meet a deadline Here's hoping they make it this time!

Well, if the cards are now printed, that's one hurdle got over. Now, I guess they need to get hold of someone to package them up (in six packs) and then arrange the distribution. I figure MC are on the home stretch here, but I wonder if aiming for mid - July isn't still a tiny bit ambitious! I'd hope everything would be in place by August, certainly.

cards If they had them in store in time for ARGFest that would be awesome!
One of the stores--Toy Tokyo-- is in Manhattan!!
But that would only give them until July 22nd....which is technically later than mid-July, so I will keep my fingers crossed for it.

Oh God! I hope not, you lot will have them all solved in a jiffy!
Plus aren't Mind Candy going? I suspect even if they haven't come out they'll bring along a handful for everyone, as they did with E4.
