WotC sucks. They really, really do. this is just another datapoint in an
increasingly dismal trend for them.

Well, I've bought a copy, am trying to get others in my gaming circle to,
and am pleased to report that there were at least 10 copies at the store
where I went to get mine in Boston (although someone else was buying one at
the same time as me, so they could be going fast). Pandemonium, Harvard
Square, for those in the area. A good store, carries a lot of stuff.
