Check this out:Wizards of the Coast inforces a street date over distributors but doesn't hold that to retailers who buy direct from them. Why? I suppose you would just have to call it a bonus to retailers who buy direct. That's why with every gaming release someone always has it a week before many stores do. This "policy" has been going on for years and even with multiple complaints from distributors and retailers. Wizards is still doing it.Sorry to get off on a tangent. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />ThomasBJJ saidThat story doesn't sound like one from the current d20 market as there's only a couple of FR modules even out right now. In the current market there is just no way in hell a store can literally carry every d20 product instore without having a massive overhead. Since Walden Books is a corporation and not a locally owned store then can have a selection of books that just sits there and collects dust for years on end. Back in the 2e era there were so many modules there just wasn't a way to keep them all instock. Don't forget AD&D literally died on the shelf in the 90s. If Wizards of the Coast hadn't bought the whole shebang it could still be dead to this day.~Derek</blockquote>
