Wrong again! Defend him if you can! </Serpentor>

Star Wars Epic Duels, which features Episode 2 characters, was not released
until April of 2002 since AOTC hadn't come out yet and Hasbro set a specific
date for anything and everything E2 related to be put on the shelves and
pegs.  That's not to say all retailers followed their mandate as many items
fell into collector's hands prior to the April 22, 2002 date.

The earliest sighting I could find for the Star Wars Epic Duels game was on
the Rebelscum forums on April 3rd of 2002, making it approximately 18 months
since the games release. Here's the link:

And I do realise I am nitpicking over five months worth of time, but I just
want to make sure everyone has the chance to know the truth.

I understand the timeliness, still don't think it's a fair comparison
though.

Good luck! :-)
