Two different checks before prerelease
Fantasy Flight Games warns that Homeworlds availability will vary by location and product. Its September 25 clarification expects most of its retailers worldwide to have little or no Carbonite stock for prerelease and release.
The UK list specifically identifies Carbonite Boosters. In the US, the publisher directs buyers to ask their store which products are delayed. Neither statement confirms the contents or timing of an individual preorder.
Australia and New Zealand have a wider calendar change: prerelease moves from October 2 to October 15, and release from October 9 to October 16. The announcement identifies these as the only formally rescheduled regional dates.
Match the order to the event
Before travelling or ordering, confirm the exact product and event date with the store. A delayed collector booster and a rescheduled prerelease require different plans.
