Love the cover. Hope it doesn't upset the "everything is going Sci-fi" crowd. Those totally look like clockwork soldiers or fancy iron golems to me. Nothing sooper-sy-fy-tekanojikal about them at all. Nope sirree. Clockwork and Golems, nothing to see here. 'Sright!
They send the reminder to everyone, which was a good thing in my case as I forgot a step.

Please see this post to find out why we don't do full-size battle mats for our AP volumes.
Plus, you can now see that 16 maps that each cover a space of 120x150 comes with a cost of $80—and some of the individual maps in our APs would need to be 4 times the size of one of those.
Why make a flip-map then? Why not one of the map packs? We could just put the cards together to form the large map. That doesn't seem terribly difficult or expensive. You could even sell them as a series.

One map pack covers the same area as a flip mat and costs $13. It would cost $104 to get a map pack that is the same area as 8 flip mats, which means Vic's comment about maps being 4 times the size would cost $408. Now there would probably be some bulk discount*, but you're talking about around $400 for one map pack for one map from an AP. Granted, it's probably an important map if it's that big, but that's still way too much to be spending on a map. You might buy that, but I doubt it would sell well, especially if it was a map for the later half of an AP.

A local store is already selling this...do they get advanced copies or something?
If they are, they are breaking street date...as Sara pointed out.

Indeed, Paizo being dirty has kept me as a loyal customer for eight months now...
uh...
No, wait, that didn't come out right.
When we will have PFS sheet for this?
Scrolled through the PDF. I am happy.
The availability says usually ships within 2 to 6 business days, does that mean it's available through Paizo.com now?
If you order it directly, yes.

I had it in my sidecart but the subscription order authorization email I got today did not include it. Will it be on the July sub instead?

Oh wow. This has information on something I've been looking forward to for a long while, and I wasn't even expecting it.

If all the ducks align, it is scheduled to start shipping next week along with all the subscription stuff. But since this is the single biggest and most complicated shipping that we have ever done, I have a feeling we may start a day or two later than we want to due to the difficulty factor. But maybe the stars will align and everything will flow on schedule. Because of the size, I expect it is going to take a full two weeks to ship everything.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that at all. It was a really nice surprise.
This is once again not showing in my pending orders 3144920.
Just a suggestion; you will get more help if you post this in the Customer Service section.

Just started reading it but it seems to be missing some important things.
A map of the area the Emerald Spire is located:
It would have been nice to see an area map in the actual module showing where it is located in comparison to everything else in the river kingdoms.
Expected PC level for each level of the dungeon:
This seems to be an important thing missing from the module.
The first I can say for fact is not in the module, I have not seen the second. Did they really forget to add the expected level of the PCs per level of the dungeon or did I just miss it?

How about PDF only? I can't see much production cost in that. Paizo fans would be the most likely to purchase online, anyway so why not PDF only? We could purchase them and print them as we need them (like we're able to print the Sandpoint Cathedral Square).

Actually that's also covered in James Jacobs' reply in the link Vic posted:
It would cost us less to pay someone to write and illustrate a module than it would to pay for battlemat scale maps for an average volume of Pathfinder.
The fact is that battlemat-scale maps aren't just zoomed-in versions of the larger-scale map. And pdf only sales would be unlikely to recoup the costs of recreating them.
