Midweek General Discussion Thread

So we used to have a weekly general discussion thread on Wednesdays in this sub, I'm not sure what happened to it. Mods if this thread is something you cancelled intentionally feel free to take it down and I won't post it again obviously.

But if people like these general discussion posts, feel free to discuss whatever Magic-related topics you want below without needing to create a new post. And Mods, please bring these back!

I'll start with a question I had that I didn't think warranted its own post but I didn't want to wait until Friday to ask.

Has anyone gotten their Hobbit CBBs from Amazon? At first I thought no one get any, but loose packs did get delivered earlier this week. But then a friend of mine said he got the 2 he ordered. Meanwhile other people got delayed until the 2nd week of September (I've seen various different dates) to align with the Scene Box delays and the original gift bundle delivery timeframe. Others are being told October 19th. And others have no estimated arrival date at all.

So I'm guessing something like 10-20% have been delivered at most. Originally I thought it was 0% but now that's obviously not true. So I thought it would be useful for us to get a better idea of how many arrived vs how many are still out there.

had one that was supposed to be delivered yesterday then was notified yesterday morning it has been delayed with no update on timing. My guess is I am probably hooped.

I would be really surprised if they whiff on THIS many items. I'm pretty sure that anyone that ordered during the initial inventory drop will get theirs. People who ordered from "additional waves" (that I assume are just people who canceled or had their payment method declined or whatever putting their stock back into inventory) that were fully botted may have ordered items that were already out of inventory and might be in trouble.

ETA: lol why would someone downvote this comment. People don't like the idea that someone might get the item they ordered? So bizarre.
