When something first moves to the “Now Shipping” status, it is doing just that – shipping from our warehouse to the distributors, who will then ship it to your Friendly Local Game Store’s shelves. This process can take two weeks or longer, and the store probably has no way to know what day the shipment will show up. Please be patient, and either check back, or ask them to contact you when it arrives. A couple of weeks after a game ships from the distributor, it should be in stores, and at that point we usually post a note on the Daily Illuminator.
