Every confirmed release date for the games we stock, in one place. The list below this introduction is generated from our release calendar and refreshes twice a day, so it does not go stale the way a hand-typed list does.
What "confirmed" means here
A date is only listed once it has an official source behind it — the publisher, or a distributor working to the publisher's schedule. Sets that have been announced but have no locked date are deliberately left out until they have one.
That is a narrower list than you will find elsewhere, and intentionally so. Announced-but-undated sets sit in feeds for months, and some of them have already shipped by the time anyone notices. A calendar that quietly carries stale entries is worse than a shorter, accurate one.
Australian dates are not always the American ones
Distribution to Australia and New Zealand runs on its own schedule. A date circulating on a US site is frequently not the date the product reaches shelves here, and the gap can be weeks. Where we know the Australian date differs, the Australian date is the one shown.
Dates move
Publishers change street dates, and freight to Australia slips. When a date moves, this page follows it — there is nothing to update by hand. What that means practically is that a date here is accurate as at today, not a promise about a shipment months away.
For what that means if you have already ordered, see how TCG pre-orders work in Australia — it covers delays, split shipping and where you stand on cancellations.
Getting hold of a new set
Anything we have allocation for appears on the pre-orders page as soon as it opens. Allocated and premium sets frequently sell out before release rather than after it, so for those the pre-order window is realistically the only shot at retail price. For a standard expansion that will be widely printed, there is no particular hurry.
If you want to know whether a specific set falls into the first category, ask before ordering rather than after — store@collectingcorner.com.au.
