We know you've been patiently waiting for the D&D 2024 Player's Handbook
Alternative Cover along with us and have been looking forward to getting it on your table as soon as possible!
While we hate to bring down the excitement, in the interest of being as transparent with our customers as possible, we do have some unfortunate news to share.
We wanted to advise that we will be severely undersupplied stock of:
D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Alternative Cover
que to
Global Print Issues from the Publisher, Wizards of the Coast (WOTC)
This issue has impacted players, retailers, and distributors worldwide.
The Gameology team has personally spoken to representatives from WOTC and they advised that there were printing issues during manufacturing that resulted in the global undersupply of the Player's Handbook Alternative Cover.
When our team pressed the WOTC representatives on if they would reprint the Player's Handbook Alternative Cover to correct the short supply, they informed us that a reprint is not being considered.
As a consequence, Gameology is receiving less than 10% of our initially preordered stock of the Player's Handbook Alternative Cover. In all our time stocking D&D books, we have never before faced an allocation on any D&D Alternative Cover, let alone an allocation to this scale.
In the past, we have faced similar situations with other products. Consequently we take precautions on all our preorder products (including this one) to avoid this exact situation occurring, however this shortage is on an unprecedented level and is unfortunately beyond our control.
According to our suppliers, other retailers have actually been placed in a worse situation with their stock, receiving less than 5% of their orders, which we were absolutely shocked to hear. Suffice to say, WOT severely mishandled this release and, in doing so, disappointed suppliers, retailers, and more importantly, you, the customers across the globe.”
