So, based on a few threads over at BGG, it seems that there was a shipping mishap for the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Sins of the Saviors (Rise of the Runelords Adventure Deck 5) deck.
It seems quite a few people on the subscription ended up getting a double shipment (two copies of the game).
Did any of the 1st printing editions make it to any of the retailers that have to wait until release day to begin shipping/selling it, or were all of the 1st printings mailed out to subscribers during this shipping error, thus leaving people like me that desire the 1st printing scrambling to find someone that'll part with their extra one or paying outrageous prices on resell because of a shipping error on Paizo's part?
Vic said earlier that distributors had gotten some first printings, but were also going to get second printings.
We think about 30 customers got double-shipped.
Ah, okay, so it's not as widespread as it seems, lol.
I suppose you all will be happy to know, then, that you've got a good community, considering many of the people affected seem to be avid BGG and Paizo forumgoers!
It is also great that quite few of those people seem to be generously giving them away to others instead of selling them. While they could have sold them and essentially paid for the deck they kept, they are letting others be the beneficiaries.
For those still waiting to purchase, is Paizo still shipping first printings at this point?
Still first printings, yes, though we are very low.
Hi Vic,
So just to clarify - retailers will still have copies of Sins of the Saviors available on April 30th right? Will they have fewer copies available due to limited supply?

I can't promise whether any particular retailer will have stock of a given product, but I can tell you that if they have the Base Set or Sins of the Saviors on April 30, they will still be first printings, as we have not shipped second printings of either of those products yet.
I'm not sure I got a double shipment or a packaging mistake. I have two identical cellophane wrapped decks in the box. Is that considered a double shipment or am I missing half of this adventure?

So wait, you got a deck box that looked like this. And inside were two stacks of card, each wrapped, but they were identical to each other?
If so, that sounds like a mistake. The stacks should not be identical.
The people that got double shipments got two boxes.

That's exactly correct. Here's a pic of my identical card stacks. I opened them just to be sure that it wasn't only the top card and sure enough they're identical all the way through. Wild, huh? I found this thread and wanted to clarify if my issue was the same. I submitted an email to customer service already but I wanted to see if anyone else had this happen.

There was a post a while ago over on BGG that I remember in which someone received miss-packed game (which is what you received). Customer Service should be able to help you out somehow, but if you're intent on having the first printing, you may be out of luck on getting specifically the first printing.
As a subscriber, you should have gotten a shipping notice. If you were one of the subscribers that they didn't have first printing copies for, you should have gotten an email about that. See this thread for some details. You may want to contact customer service.
Meanwhile, I note that Amazon has changed their shipping date for AD5 from April 30 to May 13. Ugh.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I think Amazon is doing this on PURPOSE to make up for the February oops-release... that's got to be it.
(Off I go to sulk in the homebrew section, ;p )
I wouldn't be shocked if they change it in a few days. They are probably just making sure they don't ship early.
Or they could have already sold out of their first stock via pre-order and the date now is the estimate for their second printing stock.

We believe that Amazon has an algorithm that says that if a release date is approaching and they don't have stock yet, they postpone the date in their system. If they get stock, they update it immediately.
In short, do not trust anything Amazon has to say regarding release dates of Paizo products.
Ah, thanks for that Vic. I'll just wait for news that they have shipped.
@Hawkmoon: Mine is a pre-order, placed on Feb 19. I know better than to wait too long on these things.
