Clearly KI gives InComm/Gamestop a "release" date to coincide with the marketing campaign (just like any other game out there), but clearly not all the outlets are adhering to the date (or certain employees) and other stores won't even stock the cards on the release date! Others stores will stock well after the official release date due to supply and logistics issues. This is one of the major complaints about the cards being retail only for a portion of time. At least Gamestop has an online store to order from, the Kroger cards continue to be a problem since day one.
The Heavenly Bundle had a similar issue. It was made WIDELY available via Gamestop store online, but only for a day or two. It was taken down for about a week, then made available again. No changes were made in-game to the bundle contents when it was made available again. Should players not add this information to Central in this situation.....especially when other players will be seeing the new items in-game and specifically coming to the Wiki to find this new gear? <-- This was my main concern about waiting on adding/discussing available in-game items that KI hasn't officially announced.....the community will start going elsewhere for the information instead of Central. Likewise, new Crowns items are usually released in the Crown shop around noon CST, but the official announcements are hours later in the day or several days later.....should players have to wait until an official announcement before they can add to Wiki or discuss without spoilers tags until then?
