Blackest Night Shipping change

Due to issues with shipping, the Blackest Night Starter sets are moved back to June 9th.

Justin alerted folks to the issue yesterday on HCRealms

Hey everyone, I just sent a note to our distributors about a release date change.

Barring any additional shipping issues, The Blackest Night Starter will release on June 9th, 2010 vs May 12th, 2010. A sincere apology for the delay we're doing our best to mitigate any issues. I just sent out the note to Diamond/Alliance so stores should find out momentarily.

In any event, you can still see the pieces at selected venues in the area that received one for attending the Diamond retailers summit at C2E2 last month.
