Luckily Ebay understood that I was not buying and shipping all of those items to myself and refunded me the charge. Laughing

At least you got a positive feedback for all your trouble! Laughing

So, what's the word? Did you get our boxes mailed out today?

**Bump**
Some people in the UK have received their cards from Firebox *today* (and they're being stingy with their scans), so I'm more anxious than ever to get mine! I see that you did, in fact, get your shipment yesterday, as you've had a bunch of sets for sale on eBay since early yesterday afternoon. PLEASE tell me you sent out our boxes yesterday! Crying or Very sad

Anyone else who ordered from rlp6028, did you receive a tracking number or other *confirmation* that your box was sent yesterday? Confused

Bang Head I actually got the boxes in on Thursday and shipped them ON Thursday. However, in fairness of everyone else and the rules Mind Candy wanted, I directed on the box for them to be delivered ON 7/31 so as to not give an unfair advantage. Had I known Firebox would ship early, you would probably have them right now, alas if you do not it appears the USPS heeded my instruction. Cursing

I have not even opened any packs, (even though the temptation has been unbearable Razz ) but I guess I can now since everyone else who has received the cards appears to be doing the same.

ahhh!

Well, it's 9:41 here in ROCNY, and I anxiously await the post man. Good lord, I must be addicted (add this to my relentless intake of caffeine, THC, nicotine and capsaicin). Within the next few hours I will be receiving 36 brand-spankin-new pure wave 4 packs from one of the eBayers with more scruples (who also happens to be a fine PXC and UFer :-p). I'm hoping they arrive before noon as this is when the codes are uploaded local-time, but generally USPS doesn't visit me until around 2. So much for that already-slight chance at a first solve :-p.

Hows the rest of America doing this morning? This next bud's for you guys.

10 minute warning!

Will do, DH!

Ahhh! 10 minutes left and still no post. Didn't really expect it so early, of course, but it isn't easing the wait :-p

Can't wait to start cracking on these new puzzles. I've taken a look at some of them online (even contributed to solving a couple) but I'm looking forward to actually seeing some fresh puzzles. This is the first wave release I'm around for, so the anticipation is killing me Smile

My local retailer in Vancouver was assured that the new cards would arrive today - naturally they didn't, as expected. So much for a global launch. Seems like business as usual. Will need to order from overseas. Firebox is my best guess.

Allstartradingcards.com came through for me and delivered my mixed wave 1-4 box today. Get this: 11 silvers total (no duplicates), 8 of which were wave 4, and 0 wave 4 blacks. I swear I have the hardest time scoring blacks.

I must retract my earlier cynical post about cards not arriving in Vancouver - it was ten minutes before close of business but they did, indeed, get here! Well done, MC - I'm impressed.

I got 5 silvers, all of them from previous waves, no blacks at all, from my first 16 packs of mixed cards. Awaiting a box of pure wave 4. It seems that MC, like God, divides Smile

I live in Western Washington State and there are a number of stores locally that carry them. I usually buy from Uncle's Games. I picked up two boxes yesterday from them to split out with a friend.

I am very unhappy that they did not release the Pure Wave 4 in the US but since the non-pure boxes had an interesting distribution on Blacks and silvers it wasn't a complete loss.
