Take Your Bets (Set 27's pushback)
 

We all know its gonna get pushed back. So who wants to take bets on the date it gets pushed back to? Im guessing sometime early 2013. Im not doing this thread solely on this bet but serious discussion about the issue that pushing sets back causes.

i've discussed this with my 3 of my local meijins and its pretty much a consensus that the continuing pushing back of sets will most definitely be the nail in the coffin for this cardgame. Forget bad sets, the lack of product and delays are a HUGE issue and imho a HUGE sign that the game is about to be boot by Bandai.

Thoughts?

If they don't get the set released in time to be before Christmas, this game is dead in the water.

My money is on it being released on time.

There are some signs that suggest a delay, but I guess we'll find out in a week or so.

what signs?

Well called it, sort of. Says on the front page December 14th is the release date.

Oh Xyliex's good.

December 14th. Bandai, DO NOT let it get delayed any further. If you do, you lose the potential for Christmas purchases and stocking stuffers.

guys delayed any further? the set didnt have an official release date....it said winter 2012 dec. 14 is not a push

People are taking the "Possibly Dec 7th" to heart, which was thrown out as a possible release date.

Agreed, Kimimaro. Partially.

The thing is that online distributors often get a tentative date (such as Grosnor, Troll and Toad, etc.) off of which to base their online pre-orders. For those online distributors, that date was sometime the first weekend of December (7th or 8th). Also, I'm sure I could back through Tylar's last Corner thread and find the post where he himself said he has the date as "December 8th".

While no date was explicitly established by Bandai, this comes down almost to a case of plausible deniability on Bandai's part. Which isn't the point of this thread, so let's leave that point alone.
