If you ordered from the Europe store, it will ship from the warehouse in the UK, so within the EU. However, we were waiting to get the new "manual on demand" process working in the US site before implementing it at the EU/UK site. That's why the non-US orders are delayed by about a week past the shipping of US orders.

Regards,

My boxed copy arrived today [:D], about seven days from the day I received the email saying it was shipping.

[Oliver Heindorf]

I ordered from the US store on the 14th becasue I wanted the digital download and the physical shipment - from the EU store only DD was aviable ? But I have NO message regarding physical shipment from the US store yet - I think I have to wait further.
If DR is still as funny as they have been in the past with the release of WITP then we will all have a good laugh [:D]

I haven't received your e-mail yet, please re-send to erikr@matrixgames.com.

Done! Let me know.

Hello all.  I must say that I am a little envious to those who have gotten their FOF game and playing it as we, or rather I, speak.  My wife had ordered mine 2-3 weeks before Christmas from NWS (I did not see a link for the boxed copy on your wen site).  Anyways, I was wondering when places such as NWS would get their backordered copies to send out.  Sorry but I am just eager to play it.

I finally got mine in the mail today. Twenty seven days from order date to arrival.[X(]

[Curious]

Got mine today (01/17).  And the manual is printed in color.  That was a pleasant surprise since I was led to believe that it was going to be in b&w.  Very nice.  Good work Matrix.

Yeah, but what a manual. I thought it was supposed to be in B&W only, but I was pleasantly suprised to see that it was in full color. Only thing I don't care for is the covers. A little frail as mine has 2 tears in it already(just got it today). I am rather envious of those with the free time to play as mine is so limited now. Got the game before Thanksgiving and have only played a few hours so far. I do enjoy what I have seen though. It is not unusual for me to sit on a game for a while before I really start playing it a lot. Had CoTA for 4 months before digging into it. Same with WiTP, though I never fully grasped that beast and it started collecting dust rather quickly.

David negotiated full color manuals during the little "delay" time DR had with getting the production rolling.

We are already on top of the covers, we would like them thicker ourselves. Not a game breaker though, considering the fact that we got 4c manuals from the printer at no extra charge [;)]

[TheHellPatrol]

[:)]Mine is "out for delivery"...yipeekayyeamutherf......
EDIT: Gorgeous Manual & Package[&o]! Superb job guys![:)]

[JudgeDredd]

Any news on UK manuals upgrade offer, David?

[Artmiser]

Just checking I read through everything and didnt see anything on the deal about upgrading the digital download to get the physical copy.  Did I just miss it?
 

[JudgeDredd]

Yes...as a one-time-only offer, Matrix very kindly said anyone who bought the DD copy of this game can upgrade to boxed copy with manual for the price difference....when the option is ready, they will inform ppl...I was just checking if they had heard anything.

Excellent manual! Mine is with me 24/7, I just hope I do not lose it. I think I will tie it with three cigars just in case.

[desertstorm]

Any news when the EU orders will shipped?[&:]
