That's odd.WotC *might* be quietly recalling them so people will be incentivized to purchase 4e rather than other books. Or stopped providing them to their distributor. But that's seems like a silly decision since they'd be cutting off sales providing profit to them, as Amazon buys from the distributor who buys from WotC. Used book vendors still have copies and those are sales WotC doesn't see a penny of. It'd be foolish to purposely drive people to the secondary market. It's possible the distributors just ran low. Small print runs that finally ran out. But that doesn't explain why some of the more recent books, like the premium reprints, are also out of stock. Along with many accessories. And all at the same time. But as [MENTION=42043]Eric[/MENTION]_mona says, Christmas could have cleaned them out. WotC could also be having some problems with Amazon. I've had a lot of problems with Amazon and the release date of RPG books, both WotC and Paizo; products that shipped weeks or months after they were available elsewhere. Amazon can also be a bit of a dick, and could be conceivably trying to get the PDFs onto the Kindle store. Amazon has regularly spoiled WotC's product announcements, revealing books and dates before WotC was ready; with WotC still not being ready to reveal the date/name/format of 5e they might be pulling back from distributing to Amazon until they're ready to reveal details on 5e.</blockquote>
