Dave, how dare you come on here with such a clever idea? Not for the 1st time mind you.This doesnt affect me in the slightest, i just get extremely jealous that some one is busting any type of box and not me hahahaha
How ever I feel a bit sorry for the dealers outside Sydney as they lose a bit of the initial flurry on the ebay or market, as well as trade bait for the particular cards they may be after???
Maybe they should have agents in each state hold stock until a particular date and on that date they ship it out??? just a thought

Its pretty obvious release dates are not set in stone.Is there any chance that newsagents will get stock before the 4th? Or is that date set in stone?

If the release date is the 4th then, no matter what date they recieved their stock, they aren't supposed to be sold until that date.
I would have no problem at all if the release date is set in stone and all sellers abided by the release date.
The newsagent I was talking to last week said theirs were due Thursday 24/07. That didn't happen and he has since been told they will be delivers Monday 28/07.
Most of us in NSW outside Sydney are still waiting for our cards as well. I have cards on order and it looks like I will get some from the newsagent before I get the pre-ordered cases.
Two mate. May get a third, we'll see.How many cases are you in for mate?
It's not the cards that are being pulled but what they are initially selling for. Particularly for dealers where this is their livelihood if your a few days behind other dealers in getting product out on the secondary market (ebay). You miss much of the bidding war between die hard fans and as a result not have yours sell for as much which will affect your bottom line.I think people's angst is being heightened when they're seeing a lot of DCE sigs and low numbered cards being pulled, as if everything was sequentially packed and shipped out. But the flip side is a lot of high numbers are being pulled too.
Situation reminds when a popular video game was being release. All stock would be shipped out to retailers, for them to hold onto until a set date. But someone would - knowingly or unknowingly - put it out early, at a cheap price, undercutting other retailers. And then the chain of people hammering retailers and message board about who would and wouldn't break the date would explode.
To be fair if nobody got their boxes, cases etc until the supposed release of the 4th the Eels would still be back in Sydney.Yeah, and come tomorrow, the Parramatta Eels will be back in Sydney and a massive opportunity lost to build my IP collection. Parramatta have a signing session this morning, not tomorrow. I miss out on 7 signatures for my PC and the chance to get trades to build on my PC. So whilst the Sydney guys are looking at their shiny new 2014 Elite IP cards that they got over the weekend. Im looking at jacks#*t.
so you want Greg Inglis and same day delivery
"where is NSW?" "That's in QLD"
