As far as I'm aware that is the case, promos will be distributed to initial orders only. I'll post again in a few weeks when my store gets our card(s) as we ordered one copy of the book before and another after the FOC.
From what I just heard from my LGS, Wizards never printed any promos for this release, and apparently will NOT be printing any.
The book was originally solicited to include the promo, but now it is being solicited as "book only".
If they did miss the printing the promo, they're going to as Diamond has already given my store the DCD code for the item when it'll be shipped. Incidentally, on Diamond's site the item is still listed as "shrink wrapped with a random variant Magic card". Either way, hopefully just a couple more weeks till the promos are printed and shipped.
I actually just sent in an inquiry about this earlier this week. Something had them held up for awhile, but they’re arriving in our warehouse either this afternoon or early next week, once we have them there we’ll be shipping them out immediately, so hopefully you should be seeing them within in the next week or so!
Sorry again for the delay on these!
I asked the representative what was going on and that was their reply.
Just email IDW today again about this and got this reply:
Hey Danny,
Actually just received this from our warehouse this morning, here is the tracking info for your card:
USPS #(tracking number)
Looks like we have finally have something shipping out.
Any word on the shipment information? The card itself? I know my LGS typically gets their comic shipments in on Tuesdays, so I'm hopeful I'll hear something from them tomorrow.
USPS says that it was shipped on Nov 7th and in currently in transit....but I am in Canada so hope it won't take too long.
At least SOMETHING is coming....I'll update when I get it.
good to hear. My FLGS has been holding the Hardbacks till they get the cards. If it is a great promo then awesome, if it is a reprint, no biggie i get to read the comic finally.
It may be an IDW product, but it's licensed from Magic IP and inherently tied with their brand. I'm sure they'll be very receptive to the negative feedback.

Yeah, they've been saying that since they boned everyone over back in August. I'll believe it when I have mine in my hands.

I haven't. Not a word from anyone about it.
