If they don't send all the books I've ordered I'm writing them a letter.

At this point it's an issue of getting my player's what they want, like I was told I was going to be able to do.

That putts you and Derrek in a bad place GW is once again screwing indipendent retailers. I remember when they set up a triangle formation around another store and the guy is now gone. Gw plays dirty pool.

I'm sure that there is a Meme out there that describes it.  Or at least the GW symbol wearing the "Scumbag Steve" hat.

Just got off the phone with GW...

...

...

"Your order is still showing as being processed.  I can't say what you're getting for sure yet."

This is probably the WORST thing he could have told me.  I need to know what I'm getting so I can either breath a giant sigh of relief OR get in touch with everyone who ordered a special edition book, ask them if they want a regular one instead, and ORDER THAT SHIT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE TO GET IT FOR THE WEEKEND!!

Now I'm just in limbo waiting to hear wtf is going on.

Awesome.

I would suggest everyone who wants one should probably direct order it.  If you DO get some chase, I am sure that they will move sooner rather than later.

That is Chase's worst nightmare, amiright? 

Actually, you CAN'T direct order the special editions anymore anyway.  GW took them off the website (sold out?).

I am fine with regular instead of gamers if that becomes the case.
