I have mine. Local retail bites for special order. WotC has a lot of
stuff, and is pretty cool about ordering...it's just hard to get someone
on the phone at the Game Center who knows what's up.
Games n Gizmos is up the street from me, and they are impossible.
Really. Just the essence of what is wrong with game distribution--they
sound put-off and deeply confused when you want to talk about any game
that is not AD+D/WOD/WH40K.
I do my browsing at G+G, my impulse buys at WotC and my serious shopping
at Amazon.com and direct.
