So, where is it?

As regular readers will know, I am based in the UK. Despite the weather - which you really do get used to - there are many great things about living here: excellent beer, beautiful countryside, and Doctor Who, to name but three. However, one not so great thing right now is the distinct lack of Hammer of Thor.

I have spoken to a few retailers who have sold Heroclix in the past and have been given a variety of answers, ranging from "In a week or so" to "When it's here". There is a chance we will see it next week - I hope so as we've got a sealed tournament planned - but in the meantime we will just have to jealously read all about it on HCRealms. While drinking beer and watching Doctor Who.

UPDATE: Esdevium - which I believe is the only distributor carrying Hammer of Thor in the UK - has just posted its upcoming releases for next week and HoT isn't on there. I'm assuming this means we're not likely to see any little plastic ninja or fire demons next week. Esdevium will, however be getting Coronation Street Top Trumps in next week. So that's OK then.

UPDATE 2: NECA has posted the following on the Wizkids Facebook page:

We would like to give our international customers some news about Hammer of Thor. There is no official release date set internationally but distributers are working hard to get the product to you as soon as possible. As a result of pushing to get the product out, there are a few loose ends we are beginning to tie up. We apologize for the delay and would like to thank you for your patience.

Not terribly informative – I'd question the company's use of the word 'news' – but a darn sight better than ignoring the issue.
