PallonianFire he/him Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I've looked three places, and gotten three different release dates (June 21st, June 25th, and July 5th). In fact, this whole lead-up to the release has been weird. There haven't been any official press releases about it, that I've seen, and only a couple small previews that have popped up at Tor, io9, etc. I just feel like a typical Sanderson release has a lot more hoopla and coverage than this has gotten.
DSC01 he/him Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Yeah, even Dynamite hasn't done much with it. Their website is all Vampirella and The Spirit and stuff. You would think someone would be trying to get the word out. Now, their website says 6/22, so that seems likely. However, Amazon says 6/28. That's not necessarily a discrepancy, though. Dynamite might be offering the book early to people who buy it directly from them (for $5 more than what Amazon is selling it for).
thegatorgirl00 she/her Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Amazon says that the hardcover will come out 6/28 and the kindle & comixology version will come out on 6/22. It seems the e-books will be coming out earlier than the physical ones.
DSC01 he/him Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Update: Peter Ahlstrom says, via Twitter, that Dynamite told them it would hit comics shops on 6/29. Diamond, the distributor, confirms that on their website, and it furthermore says that the date was originally 6/22 and was pushed to 6/29. Dynamite's info is probably outdated (and that would certainly fit with my assertion, above, that they can hardly be bothered with the book). The question is, is Comixology's date still correct? The one-week delay in getting to stores surely has to be a printing issue, so the digital version shouldn't be affected. Amazon is probably displaying 6/28 because new books come out on Tuesdays, not Wednesdays like comics. 2
PRationality she/her Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 I'm not entirely sure what to make of it - for me, I got the GN for (digital) review and the release date is listed as 7/5 (which I only say because I can't post my review until a week before). My Amazon preorder stills lists the receive date as 6/28, but I often don't get updates to that until like, the day of so :shrugs:
masaru Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Both Comixology and iBooks list 6/29. Interesting $$ discrepancy. It's $25 on Comixology and $13 on iBooks. Big jump there.

So if you read Gold Key Alliance, you know all about it!
DeTess she/her Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) I hate to add another possible date tot he list, but the Dutch equivalent to Amazon has it listed for release on the 21st of june (https://www.bol.com/nl/p/brandon-sanderson-s-white-sand-volume-1-hardcover/9200000055903993/) Edit: bummer, they've upped the release date to 12 July. Edited June 27, 2016 by randuir new info
thegatorgirl00 she/her Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Amazon changed the release date to 6/29 for all versions of the book.
Pagerunner he/him Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I just pre-ordered, and it says June 28th release, but for the delivery estimate they say: Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date. So, even though they say it releases on the 28th, it looks to me like they have no idea when it's coming out.
PallonianFire he/him Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 I stopped in my local B&N yesterday, and they said they'd have it in-store on the 28th. 1

Yeah my LCBS said it would be out on the 28th or 29th--I don't remember. I'll get an email when it's ready for pick-up so I think around those two dates is a reasonable release date.
Titan Arum Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 I received an email from Amazon saying it'll arrive June 30th. I was hoping it'd arrive the 28th so that I could take it with me on my backpacking trip. Oh well, I'm excited to read it, even if I don't like graphic novels!

I received an email saying I get release day (June 28th) delivery... hmmm, that is odd. Perhaps you live further from a distribution point?

Perhaps you live further from a distribution point? I have Amazon Prime which usually turns into one day delivery for me since I live in a giant metropolitan area. Mine may be delayed because I only placed my order for a copy two days ago?

I, too, live in a densely populated area (San Jose, CA) so my wife and I enjoy the same benefit of having most stuff delivered in one day. I am sorry for your loss! Hopefully the backpacking trip will still be a huge success even without the book!
AndrolGenhald Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 I ordered it back in February with Amazon Prime and it says June 30 for me as well I've always gotten games and books on release day previously (except BoM, which they screwed up).
Pagerunner he/him Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 I selected free shipping, and they're telling me July 5-11. You get what you pay for!
WayneSpren he/him Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I'll probably end up buying the eBook on the 28th in addition to ordering the real copy. I did this when my copy of BoM came a day late.

ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 I'm going to pick up a physical copy this week....much hype
Volratho Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 My copy arrived a day early! I opened my front door to a nice surprise this morning! 3
Rasarr she/her Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Mine won't arrive until late July... Ah, the charm of living half the world away from US... 1
