I'm not sure how that will affect people who pre-ordered on Amazon, but I'm sure my LGS will take care of me. Still no word on what the card will be, or how soon this will happen.

I received mine from Amazon without the promo as well. I sincerely hope that they fix this. It's a beautiful book, but I still can't help but feel like I was swindlednot receiving my promo.
I wonder if we're able to reorder this, and if so will it have the promo? I must know the promo!

This is still available from Diamond, so I'm gonna have to take a gamble and throw in a reorder to get myself one of the promos. Hopefully the mess will be sorted out by the time they come in.

Just got mine from Amazon.ca today. Was online chatting with the sales rep before I bought it, she assured me that it would include the promo....and it did NOT.
They re-ordered it for me at no cost and told me that it would now be included....we'll see.
I'm surprised there still hasn't been any confirmation as to what the promo is.

Tbh I think Ashiok was designed to be male, and when someone mentioned to Wizards about Ashiok looking like agender and giving them the thumbs ups, Wizards jumped on the bandwagon and rode on the viral wave. A case of accidental popularity. If I'm not mistaken the german context have portrayed Ashiok as male as well. I wouldn't be 100% sure to applaud Wizards for this. But thanks to this, they know now.
It was originally stated it would be a 'random promo' which implies you'll just get one of the previous ones that released with the comic. I hope thats not the case, but figure WotC would have made a big deal about it if it was a promo worth purchasing. They've quietly pretended like the comics never existed at this point, which is disappointing, but par for the course with WotC.
Just got a reorder on these in stock, still no promos. Has IDW said ANYTHING other than they promise we will be getting these.

Hi, I pre-ordered this hardback book in May. While my comic book store has received the book, they have not yet received the promo card that was supposed to come with it. I am not keen on picking up the book until they receive the promo that was supposed to come with it. I saw on the twitter page that someone was supposed to e-mail you in regards to a question they had about the promo, so I thought I would try this as well. When is the promo slated to arrive?
Hi David,
We’re still waiting on final confirmation from our printer, but the cards should be arriving early next week. All comic shops will receive cards equal to their orders, so you should be able to get the promo through them. If you have any trouble though, feel free to drop me a line and we’ll get you set up. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for your support.

The problem isn't IDW, it's from the printers. From what I understand, there was a problem with the printer not including the promos with the books (as the book arrived at my store without the shrink wrap it was solicited to be in). From what I've heard from Diamond they will be shipping anyone who had an INITIAL order for the item however many promos for those initial orders - however anyone who ordered one on reorder after the FOC will be hosed. As for Amazon orders or otherwise, I have no idea what will happen there.
It's more so the fault that after they (the printer) printed the books, they didn't include a card and shrink wrap the books. The original Diamond solicit says "Comes shrink wrapped with a random variant art card", so I'd imagine it will just be whatever left overs from the comic run - especially if Diamond reorders after FOC aren't qualifying for the card.

Wait, what? So because I missed the initial solicitation and had to place a reorder for the comics, they won't be sending me promos for my customers? Is this a joke?

Edit: Ok - I'm a big ol' liar. This book looks really nice - I'm glad I went ahead and picked up my copies.
IDW is aware of the promo issue and is promising to fix: https://twitter.com/IDWPublishing/status/504764014480461825
