Here is that list of where the Ice Age promos could be found. Each contained the listed card and a Norritt...
Pyramid #13 May Balduvian Barbarians
Non-Sport Update Vol.6 #2 March Gaze of Pain
Comic Buyer's Guide #1116 March Word of Undoing
Shadis #18 March Essence Flare
Cards Illustrated #18 April Fylgja
Scrye #7 March/April Dire Wolves
The Duelist #5 April/May Aurochs
Combo #4 April Scaled Wurm
Hero Illustrated #23 April Gorilla Pack
Wizard #45 April Prismatic Ward
It looks like the earliest Ice Age Promo was available in March. Since we know that the cards were sent to print at the end of January, that means there was about 1 month for the cards to be printed (in Belgium) and then sent to the various magazine printers for insertion. This is a relatively small print run, and I imagine it would take longer for an entire expansion set to be printed and sent to distributors.
