Just curious, did anyone else get miscut corners on any of their commander arsenal cards? All of the cards in one of my packs had the bottom left corner almost at a 90 degree angle.
Post some pictures. I would like to see those.

Yeah the singles are going cheaply on eBay, quite surprisingly I must say.
Yup, I just went down eBay and a put a complete set together for less than MSRP, minus one or two cards. As long as you trust the seller has been careful to take the cards out from the box and immediately sleeve them to minimize curling, you can still get this product if you had intended to open and play with it anyways.
So, it seems that you can get whatever you want from this box on ebay, and they are super cheap... way to complain people...
Pick up the singles of what you want on ebay and move on.
Except most of them only ship to US only which is useless to me. The only one I've seen that ships worldwide was Loyal Retainers which I don't need.

As someone that buys and sells A LOT on eBay I can suggest that it never hurts to send a message to the seller to see if they might be willing to ship to you.
Sellers make exceptions, often people will work with you, and the worst you can hear back is 'nope'. So it never hurts to try.

Yeah, my cards were like that too. I don't really care though.
Elaborate on this 90 day window please? Like, when does it start or end or whatnot? Store policy, paypal thing, some other regulation? Is this something that happened to you?
It's the Wepay thing. You can just ask WePay's livechat about your refund possibilities after 90 days have passed since you paid for your Commander's Arsenal. They'll say there's nothing they can do.
One to three per store, depending on its size. Multiply that by the number of shops that sell MTG, and you get "not enough," or "very few".
Good lord. I almost wish they'd have just cut to the chase and mailed them directly to select individuals as a kind of "You're awesome!" reward. I totally understand doing low print run specials for collector sets like FTV, but I disagree that Commander's Arsenal should be one of them, especially due to the popularity of the previous Commander product. Its a bit of a kick to the groin there.

They used to do that. It was called Magic Player Rewards. Big surprise, they cut the program due to the insane postage costs.
I might be a bit late to party here, but I just wanted to share my story about how I came upon a CA (well, half a CA anyway).
One of the few LGS I regularly shop at let me know that they were getting three copies of the Arsenal in. I asked the owner how he was planning on distributing them and if he was going to sell them anywhere near MSRP. He told me that they had something special in mind for them.
So about a week later I'm back at the shop and I talked to the owner again about the Arsenal, and he informed me that they were going to do a "pauper crap commons" draft tournament and the winners would have the opportunity to buy the Arsenal for the $75 msrp. Basically, he had a lot of crappy bulk commons sitting around that he needed to get out of the shop and thought this would be a fun, unique way of getting rid of them. I thought it sounded really fun so I made plans to go.
The day of the event had 28 people show up for the tournament, so we were split into three pods of 10, 10 and 8. We were each given a stack of 60 cards from all sorts of different sets (even went back to Ice Age, Homelands, Fallen Empires all the through to M13). So we'd split the stack into 4 15 cards "packs" and draft them like you would normally. It was really fun trying to figure out some kind of synergy with cards from 30+ different sets. I ended up drafting a R/G stompy aggro and making the finals of my pod.
The store had three CAs for sale, so each person who won their pod could buy the Arsenal allocated for their pod. The guy I was playing against in the finals was a super nice guy (he was there with his son, who was also playing in the tournament), and we ended up agreeing that we'd just split the Arsenal (and the $75 price tag. With Christmas coming up, I really didnt have $75 to drop currently) and we'd draft it after the match with the person who won the match getting first pick. I ended up winning two pretty one sided games and got my hands on a foil sylvan library for first place (along with 8 other of the regular sized cards, 5 of the oversized cards, and half the sleeves). I let his son have the life counter (as I'm not really a fan, and I have an old school inquest counter for commander).
Overall it was a great experience. Got to play with some cards I've never even seen before, had a great time, got to meet some really cool people, and I took home some awesomely rare cards that I'm going to stick in my commander deck.

So bad to hear that many people that wanted CA didn't got the chance to buy it. I preorder one with a friend, I didn't think that my local store will get 2 CA, so I wait to see if anyone will buy one, but standard dominates de big cash flows in my store. 2 weeks after I bought them at $90 usd each. So I got 3 CA's, trade so many cards with friends that agreed that they could pay the online store's price for the cards they wanted.
Seriously. If your LGS has these for <$100, you can scoop them up and flip them to www.channelfireball.com. They are buying the singles and the sealed box for $150 each. Normally I do not condone item flipping but if your LGS just can't sell them, help them out and help yourself out and move the product to somewhere where people "need" more of them.
Post some pictures. I would like to see those.

Well, the LGS I work at got seven, which really surprised me since I didn't expect us to get more than three. We have two left being sold at 149.99$.

If anyone knows the actual number of Core and Advanced stores outside of Wizards, then you'll know the number.
They never turned around and officially stated how many were made so there isn't any other way of knowing for sure.
"You said you wanted to cast what?! Counter that!"
I would happily pay my postage.
It's officially 2,4 , or 5. Not all Advanced Level shops got 5, but the original 4 instead.
