Default Case or Not to Case

I just pre-order 1 case(Boosters) of AAM today .

Just wondering if any others have/planning to do the same?

Hopefully I'll get a starter and a few boosters @ GenCon.

Probably trade/ebay of singles too complete the set.

Default If there's one thing I've learned from D&D minis...

Prediction: sometime in 2007 I'll open a booster from set 5 and get an M22 Locust as my rare, a Schwimmwagen as my uncommon vehicle, and my 12th Yugoslav Partisans as one of my commons, and I'll kick myself for not buying more of the first set.

So I'll probably end up buying several cases, but it won't be enough.

LOL.

I look at as an investment if I don't like the game. DDM (harbinder) and SWM(1st printing) 1st sets are worth $$$.

Ground entry level for this set. If I love it, great. If I don't, I'll wait 2 yrs and sell it off. This game will take off no matter what. There are too many wargamers that are married w/ kids and can't play 12hr sessions any more (those that currently can, enjoy while you can ). This game is perfect for a 4hr gaming session on a weekend night.

I wonder what the priceing will be at GCI.

Preorders can save 25% or more. But if GCI will be selling at full retail value, that would suck.

Usually at the cons CMG companys give small discounts on stuff, It probably won't be much though.

I know Gen Con will run a sealed and a league play on Saturday. Both are $30 for a starter and 1 booster.

They advertise the starter at $17.25. Booster is $9.15. You would save on shipping. So $30.00 is a fair price.

However, How do you know this is the price. Was it posted anywhere?
