PREVIEWS is the monthly catalog issued by Diamond Comics, the major distributor for most comics stores.  The May issue doesn't ship until next week, but the order form has been posted and I stumbled across the following entry:

MAY11 0066  MASS EFFECT SSV NORMANDY SHIP REPLICA (C: 0-1-2)     $34.99

The ship date is listed as 10/26, although that is not a guarantee.

What is PARTICULARLY interesting is the description I found when googling for it:

Mass Effect Ssv Normandy Ship Replica Mass Effect Ssv
Normandy Ship Replica is an Urban Collector pre-order. We join the
legions of gamers and graphic-story fans who've been anticipating the
October release of the new Mass Effect game. We proudly announce the
release of a custom-crafted miniature version of the SSV Normandy. This
is the first replica of the Normandy, and we couldn't be more excited in
bringing it forward. Normandy is a Systems Alliance starship. She is a
'deep scout' frigate, optimized for solo reconnaissance missions deep
within unstable regions, using advanced stealth technology powered by an
experimental drive core.

http://www.urban-col...-may110066.html

The link includes a picture of the replica.  There's no description of the size and it looks like a molded plastic item.

But my heart took a bit of a leap when I saw the mention of an "October release"(!!!!!)  This is not an announcement from BioWare, but the vendors can only go on what they're told, and SOMEONE told them "October"

OOOOOOH!!!  CAANN'T WAAAIT!!!!  :o

Good Lord... don't rush this game, Bioware.

We can only have ONE Mass Effect 3 ;P

It's just speculation on their part, like Chris, it is not official until Bioware releases it.

Like I said, about as unofficial as it could get. It's just that it was a surprise finding the entry on the order form, followed by the surprise of a timeframe for the game even being MENTIONED in the description, and another surprise that it was earlier than I had expected.

Would be nice if it were true!

Interesting... does that model represent the new SR2 design in ME3?

I would think that they have enough love to actually take their time on the conclusion of one of their biggest franchises.Hopefully I'm right.

I think they moved it so they wouldn't butt heads with Skyrim. Good call imo.

I'm pretty sure the reason for the early release is that they working on 2 and 3 simoltaniously
so nothing to worry about, I'm actually looking to play this game as soon as it's golden... bugs will always need fixing, but that's what they make patches for :)

Is that an Alliance paint job? Nice. Hopefully that's what it'll look like in game, although I will miss the orange scheme a little. Never really been a fan of Cerberus the colour scheme in ME2 was pretty good.

I'm not gonna believe any of these "release dates" until Bioware/EA announces something.

Bioware releasing ME3 in any month that is NOT november this year would be a good move. call of duty, battlefield 3, skyrim, etc coming out in that time period, it's really not a good time to release.

of course, nothing is official til we hear from the big boys though
