I preordered, but I am wondering if there's any chance for cheaper shipping. $15 shipping for a $20 game is pretty crazy. I'd gladly wait for USPS to deliver if it saved some $$.
You can totally buy it from your LGS. However, assuming everything gets unlocked, those mini-expansions are going to cost more than the shipping to a US address.
But if you get it later, you will have to buy the possible mini expansions seperatly and miss out on the promo cards. I had the same thoughts on the shipping cost, but if those things get unlocked it'll save you money in the long run. Just my thoughts on it.
Shipping costs on our web store are calculated by a FedEx plug-in that accurately transmits what WE pay to ship the game to you. So, unfortunately, those shipping rates are what we pay. Yes, we ALWAYS lose money on Kickstarter campaigns due to shipping, since we offer a flat rate there.
As has been pointed out, the price of shipping here should be offset by the free stuff you will get. That said, if you'd rather wait and get the expansion from your FLGS, please do! We love gaming stores and are very interested in making sure getting the games from your local store rather than a website is entirely viable.
Nope. Wraith dressed as The Matriarch inhabited by the soul of The Operative. It'll be a promo card for Omnitron-X with the power "Synthesize: Activate the Perform text of a Tool, and deal a Target a Mode's (Spell number) Toxic damage. Add one token to your Unlucky Pool."
