Message: <blockquote data-quote="KDLadage" data-source="post: 1009930" data-attributes="member: 88">Does anyone know if Talon Comics has already shipped the 3.5 books or when they will ship them?This is just an inquiry.I know that all of those at Talon Comics are working hard to ensure that all of us who ordered through them will get our books in a timely fashion... furthermore, I am fully aware that the official street date is not until the 18th and thus, if I have to wait until then for the books to be shipped, then this is certainly not a big deal. I can wait.I inquire because it is more than evident that Walmart, Amazon and a whole host of local stores have ignored WotC on the street date and have shipped, sold or otherwise released the 3.5 books. This puts the guys at Talon in a rather sticky situation. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> As honest people, they could wait for the official street date... resulting in lost sales, lost opportunities and lost money in the process. This is doubly costly, as it has been shown that Talon Comics (and other small, local shops) cannot afford to cut their prices to the quick the way that Walmart, Amazon and other national and/or international giant retailers can.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> As businessmen, they could ignore the street date... and risk getting WotC angry with them. WotC might shy away from attacking Walmart or Amazon, but they would certainly have a small fish to fry in the form of Talon Comics. And it would not require a lawsuit to impact Talon's business pretty hard.</li> </ul>So... just wondering how Talon is handling this problem. Again: I ordered from Talon, and I can wait. I have no trouble doing that (my next game does not begin for another three weeks anyway...). I am just curious.</blockquote>
