Is there really any way to make June?

That is SO WRONG. *shakes heads in disappointment* :\

One word: Druid.

(Er. Not that it'll directly apply to 4E at first, from the look of things.)

OK. Presume WotC has ten thousand printers and they need to print two million PHs, half a million DMGs, and one million MMs.

How long do you think it will take for the books to be printed, bound, packaged, and shipped to stores (please include the customs procedure which can take up to 10 days in most countries) so that all stores will have received their stock by June 1st (so that they can go on sale by June 10th)?

Slight correction.

WotC prints the books and ships them to the distributors. The distributors then ship them out to the stores. Basically, this means that WotC might have to ship out to only a couple hundred locations.
