You can often get free shipping from Amazon even without a Prime subscription. It's not illegal, so I have no problem ordering it from a retailer who sells it early. Buying it from other online stores doesn't make much difference in terms of profit or money for Hasbro, ultimately, we've been told. If it were, they simply wouldn't sell it new anywhere but their own website. Granted, the story was they were doing this with SQT/PoT, but it turns out not to have been true. I'm pretty sure HasbroPulse doesn't ship worldwide, so there's another reason to look for it wherever you can get it at (or below) MSRP.
Most of the HQ remake stuff I didn't pre-order and I didn't get via Hasbro's site. For me it's whoever gets it to me the quickest and cheapest (and pre-ordering is not guarantee of either of those things, as we've seen). Each to their own of course.
When I ordered my Monk from Amazon, it arrived Dec 2nd (this I gifted to a close friend for Christmas). The second one I ordered from the same page will arrive Jan 8th (granted, Hasbro moved their own US release date to Jan 2nd, I'm in no hurry though I could change it to avoid waiting another week).
Kurgan wrote:Interesting using the Monk in the Japanese quests. Are you by any chance using the NA conversion of those rules by bastianbux (as found on BGG)? Because the original Japanese rules actually say that certain monsters can only be slain if they sustain two body points of damage at once (otherwise they heal by the next turn; granted, that fact changes nothing about Quest 1 in this case).
Other modifications would need to be made by Grimdead (Zargon) since several items can only be used by certain heroes (and are essential to victory in certain quests).
