@@kuremalone78 Thank you. I totally missed it.

The AEG expansions were a Kickstarter that just delivered to backers.

There's a whole industry of deluxifying components for board games where the 3rd party components are better than the originals. They also cost $$$, and the original game publishers have a price target they need to stay under, so 3rd party components is are pretty much always better than the original components otherwise why would anybody buy them?

So you think in order to review a game a reviewer should first have to scour the internet and make sure that it hasn't sold out?

New to the hobby? Usually have to wait for the next print run. A lot of games can be crowd funded, pre-ordered, picked up at cons. You can also set stock alerts for most board game websites

​@@blaze0015lol even if they did it would be irrelevant and obsolete the next day

@@blaze0015 Well, there is a difference between a preview and a review. And there's usually plenty of disclaimers in a preview stating that the produce is not yet available. If a purview was dressed up as a "review", you'd have a legitimate complaint, wouldn't you? It would be nice to have a review of a game that is actually available. It took me a minute or so of googling to find out that the product was sold out. My scouring pad is intact. So, "in order to"? No. It's a free country. Do what you like. Would it be nice? Yes. It would be nice if after seeing a review within 24 hours of it being posted you could actually buy the product.

I'm not sure which product you're referring to here. We try to review things generally in a timely manner, but that doesn't always happen because of the massive amount of games that come out each year. Other times, there's a small print run available at first and it gets printed again shortly thereafter. Sometimes, games aren't available in all markets at the same time. We might get review copies the same time a product is released in European markets and not US markets. Given the large amount of products and many markets who watch us, we can't reasonably say when things are currently available or not.
