Question about the upcoming expansion

[Koz]

I was curious as to how many unique spells there are going to be in the Forcemaster/Warlord expansion.  In the base set there are something like 174 unique spells out of a total of 322 cards.  According to the newsletter, the expansion is going to have a total 216 spell cards, but I was wondering how many of those are unique cards and how many are duplicates and/or reprints from the base set.  

Obviously I'm not talking about cards with the Unique trait, but I'm sure you've picked up on that  

As a follow up, when is the expansion expected to hit stores?  By Christmas?  What about the 2nd Core Spell Tome?  Any idea when that will be released?

Hey guys,

We tried very hard to get the expansion on shelves before Christmas - but it looks like it'll be shipping the first week in January '13.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I asked the same questions on the other site and the answer to the array of cards was not included.  They must be holding an announcement in the wings.
