Any chance we can get an update on when the season's promo minis are due to hit the store?
Aside from a Gargantuan Red Dragon, I'd really love to see the Gold Dragon and Silver Dragon get some lovin (if not with a Gargantuan sized model then at least with an "Evolution of" series for both of them).
Hmm, looks like Eric is going for the elaborate I've been sleeping for a long time dragon look, going through the painstakingly precise process of having the dragon miniatures collect just the right amount of dust - obviously intentional! ;-)
Dusty minis just means they've been enjoyed more than those tucked away safely in their boxes.
The more I see the Shemhazian, the more I simultaneously drool and shiver. The photos above make it even more amazing, but dang is that thing creepy looking. I think its the face; something about it reminds me of old White-Wolf wyrm-tainted horrors from Malfeas.
They literally just started, so I imagine it's still working its way through the system. It takes several days for the entire sub run to process and ship.
This is a shame. Maybe I am expecting too much, but as a subscriber and pre-ordering, you would think that we would have ours on release date. However with them not even shipping yet and my email stating they would ship between the 8th and the 21st, it could well be over a week after local shops have them before I even see mine.

We try not to unfairly complete with the retailers that sell our products. Many retailers already resent that we sell things directly. If we guaranteed that subscribers received product *early*, that would be a *huge* problem.
Our goal is for most US subscribers to receive their subscription product within a couple days of the street date. That's a goal, and not a guarantee, but we do hit it for most people most of the time.

I can understand and respect that. Maybe it is just that with this release being so close to a holiday. But all I can think is that if it doesn't ship until the 21st, it will be December before I get it. Expected transit time is four to five business days. And shipping on the 21st would mean that it wouldn't be delivered next week because of Thanksgiving. And I think that for a US customer to get a product two weeks after release date is a little too much to ask of customer.
Why am I thinking Shemhazia is somewhere near Tasmania?
I've been a subscriber since the Pathfinder Battles subscriptions were first announced and mine still have not shipped. Customer Service wasn't picking up the phone yesterday and didn't return my call when I left a message yesterday morning. To be honest, this is kind of frustrating.

I respect this goal, I must not be one of the "most people". So far it seems mine are averaging out to ship within a week and I receive my case within two weeks of street date. The worst one was three weeks after street and my best one arrived five days after street.
I understand why some folks get frustrated with the delivery times. It does feel odd to see people opening boxes at the FLGS knowing mine still have not shipped yet. But to be honest, if I get mine on the average of two weeks after street I am OK with it. They cost me less than MSR and I get the case incentive at a reduced rate. Overall, I know I will get them. Not a big problem, for me, in the end. :-)
This is the absolute latest these have ever shipped for me. My local game store has them, and they're all over ebay, but I'm still waiting to hear my pre-ordered subscription is on its way.
Oh, and no one at Customer Service answers the phone or returns messages!
