It's an EU thing. Everybody here get's their NL sometime on Friday morning/noon. And you know what? The longer you're subscribed to the NL, the earlier you'll get it. Ain't that a drawback for the newly subscribed EU collectors? Beside the fact that they need to get up at 3AM (2AM in GB) and check on the NL on the SSC site if they don't want to risk missing very limited items of course... .
Thanks everyone for all the help. I've become addicted to the Sideshow stuff and will join all of you from now on on Thursday waiting for the new stuff!
