For those who live in Canada....
I went to Shoppers Drug Mart and they have them now, about 5 or 6 on the shelves. They are tightly packed, you would tell if someone has went through them, so I guess they're safe

I picked up a copy in a North Carolina Barnes and Nobles. I haven't had an opportunity to use the key, but like most, I selected a copy from the back of the stack. And with the reassurance from PC gamer about getting a key if the one I bought doesn't work, I wasn't too worried about it not being wrapped, However I am disappointed in this notice that ArenaNet put out:
* Due to a production error, a section of the article that begins on page 91 was left out of the issue. PC Gamer will be posting the article, titled "Movement of the World—a Guild Wars 2 History Lesson," in its entirety on their website at www.pcgamer.com on Tuesday the 25th.

In the GW:EN walkthrough guide, the build they recommend for Pyre has:
Barrage + Read the Wind...
Edit:
Thought I'd also mention that the Pyre build also includes Healing Breeze and Orison of Healing.
Same goes for their Jora build.

I guess the guys over at PCGamer hang out in RA's a lot.

I actually think of this as the CE content we would have expected to see in a GW:EN CE if such a thing would have been. so I give PCGamer credit for that...
The one publication thing I would have done differently with the mag would have been to wrap it with the DVD trilogy demo disc... That would have solved lots of the issues, and gave people the DVD installation for those that got the online GW:EN... so they have a quick backup for reinstall later...
The Lore content for GW2 was great... and I really liked the peeks at utopia, Though I still think that campaign would have been a great one... Everything in it was wonderful, and that culture has so much potential... It would have been really nice...
The lore hints in the GW2 section really make some things in GW:EN pop out and present themselves... Especially the hidden dragon goodies...
Though its not mentioned the dragon in Cantha in the Luxon jade sea has some great potential for the story later... GW2 Expansion ??? we will see...
And of course ORR... That news is going to guarantee sells of GW2 out of the gate...
All in all I liked the mag... I think PCgamer stepped up and gave us a great little companion to our existing collection of physical materials for GW:EN. Its just a shame NIGHTFALL is now the only GW release with no real extras associated with it... Since the Prima guide kinda got scraped for not real reason...
And yes the builds in it is very basic. But its still something for the new people to try out... You would be surprised to this day how many new people I run into that just do not know where to look for stuff... Or what resources to use to play with build ideas... So true to the most of us, those few build ideas are like WTF? but to the new people it gives them a start at least... With things they will likely have on them early...

I was looking through the guide and i like the comments that go along with the concept art.
Got the guide at walgreens, which is funny because Barnes and Nobles hasn't got their shipment of it yet.
Glad my minipet key worked. Had to search for someone willing to buy for 40k.

I hope PC Powerplay here in Aus do a similar thing, but at least I'm lucky that the production error meant a huge amount of lore was posted on PC Gamer's site. made for a good read, GW2 is looking pretty interesting imo.

Non-US countries already got more than enough minis exclusive to them as it is. Now it's America's turn to have one.
