New California Still "On The Boat"?

[Otakuon 241]

I thought the expansion came out months ago.  Why is it sill listed as "On the Boat" on the Upcoming page? https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/upcoming/

Gamestop got exclusive selling rights for the expansion for the first month or two. I believe the official release date for all retailers is early next month.

Hum...I noticed that MM has had it listed as "New Arrival" for at least a week or two now.  Not sure if that means they actually have it or if they jumped the gun.  Still, very odd situation.  Wish Asmodee/FFG would be more transparent with this stuff as it just causes customer confusion.

Agreed, I see their news post as 10/25 being the official release date but there was no mention of Gamestop’s exclusivity other than GS’s item page.

Exactly, they could have just said "Available now exclusively at GameStop, available at your local FLGS later this year".

My FLGS was finally able to get it in stock this week. If you haven't checked with them recently, they may be able to get it for you now/soon.

Cheers!

Still waiting on CoolStuff to get this in stock. Strange that FFG hasn't updated the Upcoming page for this in over 3 months.
