After a day of back and forth, pulled the trigger on a Black Fleet. I hope it will go over well with the family,
as the only other pirate games that I have are the original Blackbeard, by AH, and Merchants and Marauders.
M&M didn't go over very well, too long for them.

One of these years Vancouver area Fatties may get organized and combine up like Voltron to battle the insane cross border shipping - although I'm currently feeling pretty good I resisted the sale.

I'm always tempted by Shogun, having had some good times playing Wallenstein online, but I'm not $45 shipped tempted.

The family really likes Ingenious, but we have a copy.

I wonder what the new Acquire will cost when it hits Amazon Prime.

Saving your bucks for Acquire is the clear choice out of the few good games listed and the many flea bags being offered up for this Holiday sale. It's a proven classic. And, it will be cheap. I was so tempted to pickup Warhammer Diskwars, Relic, and "damaged" Talisman (had they offered any "damaged" expansions, especially Reaper, then I would have jumped, probably). I dodged a bullet here and resisted with the thinking that I didn't pull the trigger and buy any those when they were on the available-anytime-market so why should I buy them now.

This year I really wanted them to offer up Rex, but, I already have Illya Dune so I don't need it either. ;-(

Not yet, frohike. And I'm local.

Agreed stioc. Acquire is awesome. And since you have an ilya dune, you already have the best version ever.

This was the first year I have purchased anything from the FFG holiday sale. Is it normal for 12 days to have passed with no shipping notice? I wasn't in a hurry for these games, but by any definition, that's bad service.

To be fair, they probably take more consumer orders during this one week than they do the rest of the year combined. Given that they're selling stuff for basically cost, I wouldn't expect them to jump through hoops. That said, from reading BGG this year seems slower than usual in terms of fulfilling orders.

As an employee of an e-commerce site, that's nonsense. They know their demand. They could meet it, if they wanted to.

My understanding is that the FFG Game Center and their online shop are structurally separate from the FFG game company. There probably aren't a bunch of warehouse guys filling boxes for customers right alongside shipments for ACD Distribution (or whatever they use). It's more like a traditional FLGS where they're filling customer orders after hours or when the physical store is slow. They aren't a big enough retailer to hire holiday help, and they can get crushed by volume.

That said, they should know better by now anyway.
